The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
The nation of Costonya is willing to sell its uranium to the West but needs help in securing the mines. The Blackhawks, guarding the mine, are attacked by the Iron Men who wreck their jets & steal the uranium. Another fight with the Iron Men allows the Blackhawks to track them to the old Costonyan prison. There they confront the King of the Iron Men, Vorga who plans to sell the uranium to the highest bidder. But this is a robot version of Vorga. After a battle with Robot Vorga and Robot X-12, the Blackhawks track down the real Vorga, a towering former circus freak, and beat him in a fight.
