MUST READ - Major plate deal. Srs. UPDATED 4/23
These are for sale. I will still sell as a lot, but individual pieces are starting to move. The Us "I Made This" Launch Team, autographed Red Dead Redemption, autographed Fable III and autographed Street Fighter IV Yoshinori Ono plates are sold. The seven Halo plates are sold. The Korean Launch and Trusty Bell (*sob*) are sold. Most other plates in the large photos are still available. There are a couple of additions and a couple of subtractions but not out of the bigger plates.
If you're interested, please drop me an email at mredwebb at gmail dot com. I can get that better on my phone than here, facebook, xbox live, etc. That's my PayPal email now, too.
Discounts get bigger as number of plates gets bigger. Spend more than $100 and I'll ship them to you for free, even if you're international. Look at the stuff on eBay right now. Some of these plates you may never, ever see for sale again from anyone.
I listed suggested value next to these plates, but will consider all offers. Also, look at the photos for hundreds of other plates not listed and we can discuss a price.
** END EDIT **
I owe some money to someone who very graciously loaned it to me in a pinch, AND I'm getting married (Change to "GOT married" :) ), AND I just moved, AND while I have the space to display them, I can't abuse my landlord's walls like I abused my own.
I know that there are a handful of people in here who will drop $2,000, $3,500 - even $5,000 on a single console.
So what I want to know is, what would one of you be willing to pay for my entire collection?
A few months ago, I cataloged my collection.
I had 370 faceplates.
I broke them down into 25 lots that ranged from $420 per lot to $1,100 per lot.
The total value of the collection is $18,000.
There are 19 plates worth over $200 per plate. Those 19 plates are worth just short of $5,000. JUST NINETEEN PLATES out of 375.
There are 69 plates worth at least $100 each.

I have had enormous fun collecting these plates and making plates for the countless people who have become my friends. I am thankful for the appreciation you have show me, through my efforts to publicize the hobby through interviews, and for the work I did putting together the database. I am getting married at the end of March, and I'm already moved into the place I will be sharing with my future wife. The cost, in money and space and energy (my own) is enormous for just the move, and I have a wedding to pay for, too. I have people who need money from me and this is one of the last remaining assets I have. I was sad to part with my figures, and I will be sadder still to part with these because I had such an impact on the hobby - I merely collected figures.
Please. For the cost of two nice consoles you could have one of the world's premiere collections of almost 400 faceplates. Only one collection has ever been sold like this before - Sean's - and this collection currently dwarfs that one by a wide margin. I can even work out a payment plan over a few months if necessary as long as we could get it started ASAP.
Email me (preferably) or PM me. Thank you.
