I have a few cards and I want your opinion. Should I sell (or trade) Thing in the Ice Flip (TCG says $8.55) and an Onslaught Polluted Delta ($40.82)? Also, what's the value of a signed (I think by the artist) Absorb?

To clarify on the absorb: some people will consider a signed card to be damaged, and worth less than its normal price. Others will consider it to be enhanced, and worth more than its normal price. Stores will therefore almost always value it less because it's signed. If you want to trade the absorb, you'll just have to come to an agreement with the other person about what it's worth. Don't expect more than 5 from anyone, and don't be surprised if people value it at 1.

It also depends on what you want. Preferably I try to trade my standard junk away for more stable-priced things. So yea, be a little more picky with that fetch land because, well, it's a fetch, it will hold value much more than anything remotely standard.

Save the fetch until you absolutely need something for a deck you're making. Thing is a fine card to hold on to or sell right now, there's no saying if or when it'll be broken in an eternal format as it has the potential to be. If you want to gamble, hold it and stand to lose a few bucks - Or get rewarded and it'll double or triple in value.
The fetch will only ever go up unless the zendikar ones get a true reprint, in which case you're still good because you have the premier version for a lot of people, and it'll hold its value better than the new printings. But again, if you need something else, trade it. If you need the cash, sell it. If you don't really need anything, there's no reason to dump it.

Like i said when titi came out it had potential but will drop. Theres to much cheap removal that can kill it so eventually soon it will be under 5.00. , i would sell titi.The fetches tend to hold value but who knows for how long.

I would just get rid of thing in the ice it saw its debut and in standard at least I dont see it doing anything. ONslaught polluted delta is where it will be for a long time just get rid of it if you want to. A signed absorb is basically an absorb valuing things more because it is signed will only make it more difficult to trade because not all people like that and very few people will offer more for something signed. To a store a signed card is LP so they probably would not buy it for more than a dollar.
