Two Mystery tubes from HCG. A wise person would wait to open them until the extra sleeves from Baroque get delivered next month. I'll probably last an hour.

FINE  ;) Actually I think all but 3 of these will fit in the smaller portfolios.


These are right out of the tube so pictures will be a bit dodgy. Added some artists, some of these are surprisingly hard to identify ...

*********************************************

Mystery tube 1



Walking Dead, "Smoke Break" by Evanimal, signed.
L'Ultron Vitruviano? yep, "Vitruvian Ultron" by Chris Weston, signed.
Scarlet Witch, ??? not shown in their Age of Ultron collection but dated 2015. Signed but can't make out the name.
30 Days of Night, "There is no God" by Tony Hodgkinson, signed. (Not sold out online)
Bruce Lee sticker
Generic HCG sticker
Edna "Go Fight Win!" Mode

Mystery tube 2



Buzz Lightyear (I believe this is Spanish language mode from TS3. With this and Edna from the other tube, was there a "mode" series?)
The Thing, signed but can't make out the name.



more Walking Dead, by Grzegorz Domaradzki (regular version, not the variant)



Hardcore Henry, "Hey Henry, It's Jimmy" by Adam Rabalais

*********************************************

Overall, I feel like mystery tubes I've bought from Bottleneck and Grey Matter were better deals, but I'm happy. Scarlet Witch and The Thing are my favorites, both are prints where I don't think I would have bought them based on a digital image, but they are much more effective irl. The Thing has a "scratch and dent" stamp on the back but it must be minor, I couldn't see anything. Each tube also had a Ryan Tobin pin with the Con Air symbol.

Yeah haven't seen any HCG tubes that I would have been happy with, glad I held off.
Save my money for those sweet Bottleneck mystery tubes!

that 'The Thing" is really really nice. I'd even put that in my living room- nice and subtle yet it pulls the viewer in.
I also really like the L'Ultron Vitruviano? yep, "Vitruvian Ultron" by Chris Weston, signed. It's a fun play on the classic

yep- i just did it again- liking all the pencil/ black and white posters LOL
ok well a close 3rd is the Walking Dead, by Grzegorz Domaradzki & it has some color on it LOL

I would buy a mystery tube from them- the second tube with the thing & WD... that's totally worth it imo

The Thing poster is oddly relaxing, which makes it even better. I have a Shining poster (from a different mystery tube, oddly enough) that it'll pair nicely with.

I did figure out that the Pixar prints were by Tom Miatke and The Thing is by David Moscati. (I spent way too much time today searching online and going through everything on HCG's site, there's some pretty nice stuff on there that hasn't sold out.) I still have not been able to identify the Scarlet Witch artist.

Not counting stickers and pins, it works out to about $14 per item which is a deal I'm quite ok with. The Hardcore Henry is my least favorite but it will be the perfect gift for a friend of mine.

Was rolling the Scarlet Witch print back up and finally noticed this stamp on the back, so mystery solved. I still can't find any mention of it online.

Darkseid arrived today. Love the paper they used.

I almost went for that, but I backed out. I'm glad you got one!

Funniest thing I found when emptying tubes into the portfolio was four Expendables 3 posters. A few years ago at SDCC they were giving them away at a booth and it ended up being a great crowd-avoiding shortcut to just go through the booth and take a poster. Had completely forgotten about them.

Meh, details :)

Has anybody used any of the telescoping poster tubes? Had to leave a nice (free) Hellboy poster behind last year since it ended up being too big for any tube I had with me.

I have a telescoping one and it's nice. Got it at Aaron Bros a few years ago. They come with a strap too.

FYI, unpacked my extra baroque sleeves today and noticed that a few of them have a pretty bad crease in them. Bad enough that I think it could damage a poster. Going to see if I can press them out or something, but just a caveat.
