Im much more tempted to pick up one of these than that poster. Thoughts? I think you have to buy the case. I bet you could sell a few to defiant collectors if you mentioned them on Greg's board. Actually his board was looking so stale, I think it might not even sell much over there. I don't know. There is no vaLUE IN THESE IF YOU OPENED THEM. i HATE THE CAPS LOCK key. Defiant1 |

I went ahead and purchased a case. I did a Best Offer and he took it. I got a nice discount, but I didnt go too low. I just gave myself a decent discount and hoped for the best. He took it. I figure I can sell a few on my ebay site and hopefully make my money back eventually. The rest will be float and something unique to own. Im sure they are not that rare at all, but I havent been wondering into them. I figure the longer I own them, the more unique they will get. So...I find its kind of a no lose situation. I dont have a lot invested and I get a nice amount of unique books to play around with. Im sure even if I sold most of them I would keep a few "just because"...so...thanks for the heads up on these. I may lose every cent on them, but in the end, I think I'll be happy regardless of how it turns out and that's what made me buy.

Yeah, I just got mine today. A nice box of unopened 3 packs. Ive got a few such books in my collection. I think they make nice oddities. But, Ive never have any for Defiant. Im kind of so/so on how I feel about them. Here's what I got. First, I guess the front would be the Good Guys #1......  And on the back is Warriors of Plasm #5  Since I now have 24 of these, I had to open 1 because I was curious about the cards inside. But 1st the middle comic Dark Dominion #3  And finally the cards which I cannot believe got glued to the backign board and to take them off of the cardboard would mean damaging the back side of the cards. But here is the uncut 3 cards. Im curious if there are different cards in the other packs? I just dont want to open any more to find out.  I kind of wonder (out loud here) if these uncut cards have any uniqueness? The cards themselves are a bit of a letdown. I own some Warriors of Plasm cards for my binder and these seem flimsier and overall less attractive than those. I was also miffed by the way 24 of these fit into a box not much bigger than a standard tennis shoe box. 1 on top of the other with no packing at all (in its original Defiant box I believe). What came out of the box was books not entirely in NM condition. VF is more like it. I think I have some that may be NM. But we are talking 3-6 out of a 24 set box. Like I said previously. Im happy I got these cheap and they are rather odd items which adds to the coolness factor a bit. But if Defiant played a part in the creation of these (bottom card backing board says 1994 Enlightened Entertainment Partners L.P.) It wasnt done as well as other 3 packs that had no backing board. In fact the board may be what caused the damage as it warped. Again, Im decently happy with them, but I can see room for improvement here. |

I think they are a cool novelty, but for the reasons you cited I felt I'd steer clear. That and I don't want duplicates of the comics just to get cards when I'm not really a card collector.
