Todays New Hasbro Receivings...What To Do?

[edge1700]

Hey...just got both of these in the mail today from 2 different sellers on Amazon. Each one was just about $20 shipped. Now I just don't know if I should open them or keep them MOC. I'm a loose collector BUT I have a purple Razor w/chains loose already...I would say a good 8-8.5 out of 10 for condition. I just just wanted a 100% mint one. But I know that a MOC purple fig is pretty hard to come by. Especially for $15. The card isn't 100% mint. The top right corner has some bend marks and it has a few staple holes in it...but is it worth opening to have the 100% mint purple Razor for my loose collection or keep it MOC because of the rarity?

As far as the red version goes I don't have that version loose. But I don't see a whole lot of blue carded MOC figs on eBay. I see a few of the yellow cards but no blue cards. So I don't know if I should open that one for my loose collection or not. That card is in pretty good shape for the age. Just the normal shelf wear and some price tag residue on the top.

So if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do with them I'd appreciate it. Like I said I purchased them to open...but now that I have them I'm kinda second guessing what I should do with them.





Here is my loose purple Razor that I had. As you can see the gold on the trunks and knee pads is faded a bit but otherwise in pretty good shape. So I'm trying to figure out if I should open the purple one and replace this loose one with the MOC one.

i know...its tempting! The gem of that lot is the purple razor moc! loose i've seen it go for $20-30+ loose with chains.
MOC it can fetch $50+.
Its not exactly Mint, There is some denting in the bubble amongst other things.
i'd say open the black trunks, that one it not that important.
You can keep the purple MOC or sell it on ebay, but it wont fetch mint prices though.
Sell the purple to cover your costs then try and find a loose purple one.
Is i was pressured into it, id probably open them both, you got a good deal anyways.
If you do open it, dont expect the gold to stay on the purple razor! It was one of hasbros worsts paints, it always comes off, whether it be from the salt in your hands or the air itself!
congrats

ahh man... i didnt see that loose one! keep it moc, sell it, and cover your costs!
congrats.
your purple razor is fine! enjoy it!
i think yours is better than mine, and i also collect loose mint! i just finished my entire loose mint collection, well minus the taker and bret mail away, but i never cared for them.
PM me know if you need anything, i have 67 MOC and 130+ loose.
THanks

considering your a loose collecotr (like myself) i would say if you got it for $15 then take it out and have a loose mint razor #2 and resell your original loose. you'll get more than $15 loose for it with the chains so you'll make your money back plus you'll have one loose for your collection. loose mint is v.hard to find
