Winning Lineups

Welcome to Winning Lineups. I've been fascinated by Kenner (then) or Hasbro (now) Starting Lineups since I saw them pictured in a catalog inserted in a Ghostbuster playset that my 4 year old son got as a present on Christmas morning in 1987. We started buying them that spring and of course, cool toys that they are, we opened them and played with them. It wasn't until several years had passed before someone told us that we shouldn't open the packages. They said they "wouldn't be worth as much".That didn't really stop us from opening them and displaying (playing with) them, it just forced us to buy more than one or two of each. Now my son is 19 and of course interested in so many more things than toys. It's time to start clearing out some of the "extras". By the way, we are still buying some and the ones we plan on keeping are still opened up and you know what. The opened ones are still "worth more" to us than the ones in the packages.

My grading system:

I normally try to describe any defects. If I just list condition, this is what I mean.

Mint - I don't believe there is such a thing as mint. Every piece I've ever seen has at least one defect.

Nrmt - What most people call mint. Can have a very minor defect like a cardboard ding or price tag.

Exc. - May have more than one minor defect or a small corner crease.

Okay - Can have several small creases or one major crease. Maybe a plastic ding that's not real obvious.

Opener - Multiple major creases or plastic damage. Figure, card & accessories are undamaged.

Please feel free to e-mail me for specifics on individual pieces or to have a photo emailed. I will refund the cost of the figure if you don't feel that it's been accurately graded.
