I found a copy of X-Force #1 in an antique store. Cool thing is its still in its original plastic, sealed with two cards inside. As far as I knew it only came with one. Very good condition. But that puts me in a bad spot. Because I know that anyone collecting this specific book is looking for what card came with it.

So... Do I open the plastic for the first time and have the ability to list the two cards that came with it? Or do I leave it unopened?

Looking forward to your opinions guys...

Thanks,

Ex,

I don't think it really matters either way. The poly bag it came in will eventually do damage to the book. However, since it came with two cards you may wish to keep it in the poly bag so that it is clear it came with two cards from the printer and the second card wasn't added by you.

If you are keeping the book with no plans on selling it I would take it and the card out of the bag then bag and board the comic and cards together and slide the poly bag in another bag.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't decided if I'm keeping it yet or not.

So the poly bag will do damage to it huh? That stresses me out a bit.

You shouldn't stress over a $1 book.

Seriously, all you have is an oddity with a doubtful increase in value. These books are literally a dime a dozen.
