I have a humongous collection of wrestling toys (2,000+) and I recently decided to start organizing my loose collections before I go on vacation. So, over the past week I've been cleaning, bagging and boxing 300+ collection of Jakks BCA figs. When I finished, I decided to do the same with my Hasbro collection...  After a long day of cleaning and organizing, I decided to take a break and look for the card backs I used to save as a kid to box up with my Hasbros. After opening a few boxes, I found the cards alright...   There's 52 in total and I had no recollection of these at all. Then, I read the KB Toys price tags: 3 for $10 and I remembered that after every Christmas season as a kid, KB ran this sale on Hasbros and I would use my Christmas money to buy duplicates of my loose figures to keep MOC. At the time I must've been 5 or 6, but my dad was an auction hunter and stressed to me the value of collecting and keeping things MOC for profit down the road. The cards on some are slightly bent, but these babies are in amazing condition especially considering that I forgot they existed! Pretty cool. Before you guys ask, I couldn't get better pictures. My house is small and my basement barely has breathing room due to the amount of toy storage I have from my collections. It was a struggle enough to take the box view pics lol |

Nice! I remember getting a bunch of them from the same 3/$10 sale too.

Man, 3 for $10...What a steal. You will NEVER find them that cheap ever again. Makes me miss K.B. Toys.

I like you have 2 sets of Legion of Doom. They (and Andre) were the two I had the most trouble finding. Even when I was 9 it annoyed me that I couldn't find them in stores. I showed them, by having my Dad order them for me.

I showed them, by having my Dad order them for me. They were very difficult for me too. I remember searching for what felt like forever. Apparently I found a couple sets because those LODs def weren't from KB as tag teams were never part of that sale. Also, thanks for the feedback everyone! As a new member still, I did not anticipate the amount of PMs I would receive with offers on these figs. At the moment, I am not considering selling, but if that changes I will def give the board dibs before ebay! |

LOD was always available for me, but I never once saw the Nasty Boys. They were the only tag set like that - it drove me NUTS!!

Nasty Boys were tough, but I eventually found them unlike any of the green card series. Never saw any remnants of them here in NJ.

It's been brought to my attention that apparently there's a seller in Canada who is attempting to "sell" a hasbro collection using my photos. I can not find the auction/listing, but it is NOT me guys. Buyers beware.

I could NEVER find the Nasty Boys. NEVER.
To this day it is one of the biggest pieces I want to add to my collection.

I can not find the auction/listing, but it is NOT me guys. Buyers beware. i dont think he is using your photos.. since your two photos are just the top of the boxes... i think its just a coincidence as the Canadian seller is also selling 52 MOC Hasbros...and his were up for sale before your made your post |

Agree that finding an Andre and Dusty was super hard. I recall phoning so many stores my mum had to drive a fair distance to get Andre
