I do love doing the livestreams on my YouTube Channel. Mainly because I can interact with those watching live, but also because whatever happens, happens live, and the reactions are genuine.
That was surely the case as I unboxed the 4th of 4 Walmart exclusive Factory Sealed sets for 2020. The case must have taken a hard fall at some point, because as the unboxing went along, more and more damage was discovered. Including an unfortunately placed Super TH. Enjoy, and don’t cringe too much:
Damaged cards don’t bother me as much as the cracked blisters on the premiums. That gets old real fast.
Counterpoint – for those of us that liberate 99.9% of our diecast, cracked blisters often give us a better chance at scoring a hard-to-find model since blister queens and scalpers tend to leave these behind 🙂
Possibly. Especially as far as the main streamers but most will still never leave a Super-T or a Kombi etc if they find one damaged… It seems that way at least 🙁 For me, the frustration lies in liking the card art/condition on premiums as part of the presentation as well as the car. So seeing some crack sooo commonly is a bit aggravating. I have had some crack just from them being put in the bag.
Who really cares if it’s damaged?
Most collectors shove them in those show off shelves and never stare at them again.
