Thank you one and all for sharing the "18 cent find" with me - awesome to have a place where people "get it" and can be excited too!!!

The whole week I was waiting for him to get back to me - I had approached it with a couple of options - buying the whole set outright or buying the 2 I was willing to offer really strong on and offering to broker the rest. There wasn't a lot of communication over that week - just a lot of waiting with me unsure of what was going on in the background. Felt pretty secure once I paid for them, then just sweated it out through the mail.

PSA and Bazooka boxes are like oil and water. They do grade them, but are so ridiculous in
the way they grade them. I just sent in 5 nrmt uncirculated (never saw a store shelf) boxes from different years - they came back with grades from 3 to 5! It is not the first time and in my experience the rule rather than the exception. I think they must be deducting for the scoring of the cardboard by the flaps or something - just nuts! I expect these would probably come back as 1's -2's (MK because of the 18 cent price written on them) - all of that said, I will probably send them purely so they can be noted somewhere in the collecting history books.
