   My new comic is now LIVE on Kickstarter! 😮

   Hello, comic book friends!

   I'm so excited today to announce that my new comic book Quest #1 is now LIVE on Kickstarter!

    

   I've been a huge fantasy fan for my whole life. Playing Dungeons & Dragons and reading their Endless Quest series of books as a child opened my imagination to new worlds of wonder. I would sit on the floor with my modules and play out whole campaigns by myself, creating stories of heroes and monsters, triumph and tragedy, before rolling the dice and starting it all over anew.

    

   Quest is the culmination of a lifetime of dreaming. I first began creating the characters, world, and story of Quest way back in the mid 90s, and over the years, I've returned to them again and again, working to one day tell their tale.

    

   And that day is today!

    

   In Quest #1, you'll meet a ragtag band of adventurers, thrown together by fate and charged with an impossible quest to save their world -- a quest they know almost nothing about. It's filled with action from page one, and as the story progresses, so too will our heroes, growing in strength and tempered by loss as they try to learn the secrets that drive their mission before time runs out!

    

   So gather your courage to the sticking point and join me for the start of an epic Quest! Because by supporting my comics and making my dreams a reality, YOU truly are the hero of this story! Thank you so much!! 🤗

   Everette Hartsoe was a Genius or: How To Be a Fanboy in 6 Easy Steps

   The comic book Razor was the brainchild of Everette Hartsoe and his vision of the independent “Bad Girl” era. Razor was first published under Fathom Press in 1991, but then under Hartsoe's own London Night Studio afterwards, and the dark, Crow-inspired styling seemed to have taken off. (Razor's chronology is quite complicated, as some awesome soul organized it into an excellent read here) By the time 1994 had rolled around, I was just being introduced to these indy titles like Razor, Lady Death, etc - but it wasn’t just about the comics or the dark illustrative art within that fed my collecting fever.

   

   Razor was one of the early books to really exploit the “exclusives” and “variants” aspect of the 90s that we loved back then, and despise now. Early issues of Razor included a “zero issue” which was one of the first of this kind of numbering concept at the time, along with “tour editions” that were signed and limited - and of course, with Certificates of Authenticity. The chronology link above (and here) also shows all the crazy short print runs of variations of Razor.

   Jim Balent, Tim Vigil and James O’Barr created covers for the first few issues, and a #2 that had different colored borders with differing print runs (and signed!). Platinum editions, convention specials, print portfolios soon followed - and while London Night Studios wasn’t the only one doing this, they were the ones who were seemingly having a lot of success at promoting it.

   Especially when it came down to the local level where I was. Far and away from conventions, these exclusive indy books that never seemed to be showcased in Wizard were the talk amongst all of us who had X-Men in our regular pull orders, but we kept our eyes peeled to pick up one of these super hot books that usually got missed by comic shops doing their Diamond or Capital orders. A couple friends managed to make the pilgrimage to SDCC a few times back then would return with rarities that one could only pick up in a larger market. A book bought at SDCC for $10 would get $30-$40 without blinking back home in Montana, simply because we couldn’t get it. I was on the paying end of that many times.

   But, let’s swing back - Everette Hartsoe had a unique and interesting marketing talent that I bought into in my younger years, and learned to respect as I got older. Being able to see that promotional angle before it became insanely oversaturated is a respectable talent.

   By the year 2000, I’d been out of comics for a few years and doing my own art thing. I worked at an ad agency during the day, and ran my own art gallery featuring my work (Digital Art, which was popular in 2000 and wasn't met with derision like it was in the mid 2010s) in the evenings and weekends. I also did freelance graphic design work for low budget film producers from all over the place. Then one day, an email showed up from Everette Hartsoe looking for a designer to work with on his movie marketing projects.

   Step 1: Receive a call or email - from someone who is more well-known than yourself - with the prospect of “partnering up” on a “sure-to-be-successful” project.

   Let me tell you a tale of being an artist - this tale is universal. Every artist goes through this, and as the years go by - they start to learn how to identify these “projects” and just how much money you’ll make off of it. The amount being: Zero. But, for myself - having an unfulfilled desire to work in comics - this was an undertaking that would get me into the arena, even if it wasn’t technically comic books. I was intrigued.

   He came at me with several movie projects - all featuring heroines - including one called Ms Tori, Demon Hunter - all of which had fairly ok premises given the sensibilities of the year 2000. He was passionate about them, and one of them featured his current girlfriend. Given that Hartsoe had continued on the filmmaking path for the next 20 years, these things I worked on must have been his first attempt and transitioning from comics to film. If you look at his IMDB today, his earliest credited film work was from 2009 - these projects were nine years previous, and there is no reference to them anywhere on the internet.

   
   Switchblaze Entertainment logo I created for his "umbrella company" that covered his movie projects.

   Looking back, I was super excited to be working with THE Everette Hartsoe. The guy who is like the Godfather of the Bad Girl era. What kind of insanely cool stuff is he going to do now?!? My mind was reeling at the potential - not monetary, mind you - the potential of creating unique work. This is what really got me going. Money is great, but man - cool projects are valuable to the creative soul.

   Step 2: Fantasize about the accolades, opportunities, money and babes that will rain down on you upon completion of said project - especially because the creator is well-known!

   We worked on several projects simultaneously. Movie posters, logo design, packaging ideas, promotional flyers - the whole gamut of stuff. And it was fun concept stuff on a genre I was interested in.

   

   I was always surprised that Ms. Tori Demon Hunter never turned into a comic book - seemed right up his alley.

   

   Promotional movie posters for the first two projects he was working on. The Strange Obsession poster featured his girlfriend and partner Chrissy (Christina) Mountjoy.

   

   He had me rework the Razor logo as well, but I don't think it ever got used.

   Step 3: Utilize the adrenaline to boost your brainpower and time to developing these projects, working hand-in-hand with the well-known individual, spending hours creating, drawing, developing and producing some really great work that you are proud of.

   Looking back at the art and design, it was not as polished as my work had developed into - but I do recall how much fun I had working on it. This project came right before my first filmed-and-completed movie project (it was a low budget German horror movie called 'Demonum' by Andreas Schnaas), so Everette's films were my first foray into designing and marketing movie stuff. That was a very exciting time for me, as this was an area of graphic design I really wanted to break into - and I spent lots of time making sure everything was perfect, refined and well-thought out.

   One evening, I got a phone call from a guy asking if I was doing work for Everette. Thinking this was a potential client, I talked with him a bit, but the conversation quickly turned sour for this guy - as he had claimed he had a professional run-in with Everette, and commenced with running him down, describing scenarios that sound all-too familiar to anyone who has worked on something that isn't going to pan out - and then feeling that dread of failure welling up deep inside you.

   Step 4: Realize that the project you’ve poured your heart and soul into is going to explode all over the launch pad and never take off.

   I can’t remember the details about why they never really got off the ground. This was also pre-social media, so generating “hype” didn’t work back then like it does now, so these projects, as far as I can tell, just went under the radar into Low Budget Movie Development Hell. I'd finished up the website, but for all it's cool Year 2000 design sensibilities, it didn't garner much interest at this point. Check it out here in all it's glory on the Internet Wayback Machine!

   

   Believe it or not, this was cutting edge web design in 2000 - the only thing missing was a Flash-generated 'loading' icon.

   

   At least I got my own page on the website for my contributions. Then I wasted it with a hilariously dorky "goth" photo. If I knew I was going to be bald a few years later, I would have shown off my hair better in the picture.

   Despite the cryptic phone call and abandoned projects, I never actually held any ill will to Everette. Even back then, I had admired what he did for comics and was excited to participate in something new he was doing. I mean, the prospect of being part of something he created was enough to get me on board - simply because he was an Idea Machine. I remember being very disappointed once I realized all hope was lost on the project, but I never felt that I wasted my time. If anything, it gave me a few portfolio pieces to promote myself.

   Off and on throughout the next 10 years, I’d drop him a line from time to time. I’d tell him we had worked on a project together to try and jostle his memory, and if he had anything he was working on he needed help with. Most of the time I wouldn’t get a response, but then one day in 2010 - I come home to find an email from Everette Hartsoe sitting in my inbox, waiting for me to open and see what's inside...

   Step 5: Never give up! Never surrender!

   I created a cover for the ‘Scars’ trade-paperback back in 2010. I thought we could work up something with a cosplay girl as Razor, but I think he was looking for something more mature - or less “Bad-Girly”, so we kept the female figure off the cover. He had a very specific idea about cover art, so I went with it. I think it may have gone unused.

   

   The 'Scars' cover art - adequately executed, but dependent entirely on the viewer being familiar with the 'Razor' brand identity to connect with the book, pick it up and initiate a purchase. I think by 2010, that might have been an uphill battle - which may have been why it went unused.

   And like my previous interactions, when he got the production file - he disappeared into the ether as mysteriously as he’d arrived.

   I think I sent him one more email a year or two ago when I had some free time from the Diner, but never heard anything. Like the fanboy at a convention, the creator you meet probably doesn’t remember you years later, and that’s what stings - not because we’re mad, but because we all crave that connection of being remembered by people you look fondly upon. I’ve done my fair share of Pro Bono projects that went nowhere, but his projects I worked on were always the ones I really wanted to see go somewhere.

   Step 6: Don’t let your expectations ruin your firsthand experiences, and just enjoy the ride.

   Jerry Meets Wonder Woman

   My latest win from a Comic Link auction. Very tough book to find in grade, as is evidenced by the CGC census, where there are only eleven slabbed copies showing. 

   This was during Diana Prince's "mod" phase, so I wonder why she is shown on the cover in warrior gear instead of one of her white jumpsuits. I guess I would actually have to read the story to find about that.

   Well, as always, enjoy!

   Second Round of Beta Readers is Now Open

   I've updated my first story, Any Given Day, after receiving some feedback. I've now drafted the second story, In-Service Day, which is a whopping 46 pages! All the details on getting involved are included in the previous journal entry.

   Quick summary of the series: The Corgis is a new, all-ages slice of life graphic novel series that uses anthropomorphic dogs to tell absurd, real-life stories about parenting in modern times.

   I'm open to more comments on the first story, but I'd prefer comments on the second story. Reading both would probably be helpful, and I think someone could read both stories in < 30 minutes. No artwork, just page layouts, dialog, and panel descriptions.

   Thanks for taking a look at the journal!

   Walmart Gen 03 Symbiote Spider-Man #1

   This pickup is a Symbiote Spider-Man #1 WalMart Variant.  This was the 1st print of the walmart exclusive with the UPC in the lower right corner.   I have been doing too much ebay shopping.  This one was a good price though just about face value + shipping.  Only 39 different seal packs left on my need list.  Also I am expecting in the next week or so the next Generation of books should start showing up if the release patter stays constant.

   Has this happened to anyone else?

   I sent a group of 20 books in for grading in February, marked as received on the 14th. On the 21st I was charged $683 for a submission that appeared to be, at least in part, a duplicate of my submission. After 3 calls to customer service with no refund, I finally called my credit card company and disputed the charge. A temporary refund was issued. After almost a month a refund was issued by CGC and the credit card company removed its temporary refund. Almost immediately, CGC charged me the $683 again and the bogus submission still is shown among my submissions. Now six weeks later and another call to customer service and I am still on the hook for $683. I can’t understand why this is taking so long to sort out. Every customer service rep I have spoken with has understood the problem and forwarded reports etc. yet the problem is still there. It’s been several days since my last contact with CGC and still no change. Anyone have a suggestion?

    A Few More Points!

    

    Picked up a Ghosts #48 CGC 9.8 WP from a ComicLink auction to add to my DC Bicentennial collection. An incremental increase in points from 60 to 96 (CGC 9.6 to 9.8) but every little bit helps!

    This brings my total of CGC 9.8 copies in this 33-comic set to 19 (15 in WP). Still got 8x in 9.6, and 3x each in 9.4 and 9.0. Really, really want to upgrade those in 9.0 

    I know there are 9.8 copies of Batman Family and Weird War Tales on eBay but the asking prices are, IMHO, ridiculous so I won't be upgrading those issues anytime soon.

    2023

    I'm going to take an opportunity about once a week to post a book from my personal collection.
    
    I'll try to share the when, where, and why each book was chosen.
    (this all depends on if I can remember or not...)
    
    My ever-evolving personal collection consists of 49 CGC slabs (38 Signature Series / 11 Universal) and 1 raw book.
    Once CGC grades treasury sized books it'll be a solid 50 CGC'd.
    
    Why 50?
    It is the number of books that easily fits into two short boxes.
    Just enough to grab in case of an emergency or not take up too much room in the car.
    
    Why ever-evolving?
    I read a post many moons ago on these boards about ensuring that the handling of your collection was easy on your family when you pass away.
    In it, someone mentioned selling 10% of your books per year once turning 40-years-old.
    They also stressed to continuously refine your books down to a Top 10 that would be easy for your family to liquidate upon death.
    
    Over the past 5 years I have reduced my collection from 34 short boxes down to 16 boxes through donation, selling, and recycling efforts.
    8 short boxes of raw comics to be graded
    6 short boxes of CGC'd comics to be sold via eBay
    2 short boxes of personal collection
    
    As books are sold throughout the year money gets set aside to reinvest into / 'improve' the personal collection.
    If a new book is purchased with the intent to add it to the personal collection (aka not a 'flip') then a book has to be taken out 'to make space'.

    To provide a clearer understanding, in 2022 I removed the following comics from my personal collection to allow new books to join:
    All-Star Superman #1 German Edition 9.6 signed by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely 
    Avengers #4 1.0
    
    That is all to say that at some point some of the books featured in this thread will not make the cut going in to the next year.
    (I will edit posts when a book has transitioned out of the collection)

    Fantastic Four 1/2 Wizard Publication

     

    I’m looking for some help in finding Fantastic Four 1/2 Wizard Publication.

    There are two versions:

    The regular edition — which is easily found on eBay. I’m positing a photo of my copy signed by Stan Lee..

    Then there is the Wizard Authentic version. According to the Society there is a Wizard Seal on the cover.

    ‘Personally in fifteen plus years of collecting (This Time) I’ve never seen one!

    Any help in finding one would be greatly appreciated.

    Marvel Multi-Pack set scoring.

    I recently added a Thor 274 Multi-pack edition to my set. It's a nice 9.4 Universal. I noticed that I received 18 points for adding it. However, if it was just a Univeral copy I would have received 20 points for adding it. I looked at the different scores for issue 274, Universal and Multipack Universal. Some same grades had the identical point scores, but some did not.  It was really haphazard.  Does anyone know why some grades would get the same point total and others different for the same grade? Just wondering. I've got it and a Thor 228 Savannah shown that just got back from CGC.

    Journal Entry 1

    I suppose I should start at the beginning. The summer of 1973.

    I'd read comics before but by 1972/73 I was pretty over them. I was a freshman in high school. Football and cheer-leaders dominated my life.  That summer I went to stay at my grandmothers summer place and was bored silly.  For some reason, most of the kids I knew from past summers weren't around, and my Aunt didn't want me wandering too far as she was in charge. There was a kid a few years younger than me who lived across the street and had a huge collection of comics. He must have had at least 50, maybe 100, all in plastic bags. With nothing else to do, I got friendly with him and in about two weeks had read all his comics.  I got my uncle to drive me into town and the store there had comics.  My $3.00 allowance would have let me buy 15 comics but when my uncle saw the stack , he said 5, no more. I'd never even heard of the Defenders but here they are in a war with the Avengers.  The kid didn't collect reprints so I bought Marvel Tales and Marvels Greatest Comics without realizing they weren't new. I didn't care for the art in those books at all. 

    I liked the stories in the reprints but liked the art in the newer books better.  By the time the summer was over, I was buying ten new comics every week and had started buying food storage bags to store them in. I mostly bought Marvel, but a few DC and even a Charlton or two. I realized very quickly I liked the Super-Hero stuff more than the horror and romance. 

    One day while bike riding, I came across an old junk shop with a trunk full of old comics. Captain Marvel, The Fly, Worlds Finest from the 50s, ect. I was in heaven until I asked the prices. The guy was asking $3 for a comic with a ten cent price tag.  Then he showed me a bunch of coverless ones for  a quarter each. I figured the guy was playing me. Why would I pay a quarter for a coverless old Avengers book when a new comic was only twenty cents.  I tell Terry( the kid) about the place and he wants to go. My Uncle takes us there( it was the next town over) and Terry starts buying all these old coverless books. I didn't get it, but on the way back he shows me a Spiderman 5 and tells me if it had the cover, it would sell for maybe $3.  He said he had gone to a convention and some comics sold for more than $25.

      Another door had opened.

    Door to Door Trading cards

    OK so on July 12th I sent a Card to CGC and SGC Both locations are in Florida. CGC order was with a elite membership express service level with sub grades and Turnaround times of 7 days for express and an additional 5 days for sub grades. SGC was a basic account basic service 30 day Turn around. Broken down this is how it stacks up to one another.

    CGC Express with Sub Grades On Elite member account. CGC bill- $98.50

    Plus the Additional $32.50 paid for Shipping with $3000 insurance through USPS from me to CGC 

    1. Grading (1) - 51.00
    2. Handling   -  5.00
    3. Sub-Grades- 8.50
    4. USPS Ship- 34.00

    So in total for the 1 card with express level sub graded $131.30

    $98.50-CGC

    with advertised turn around of 7 days + 5 days (12 Business Days)

    Currently I shipped 7/12/21 USPS delivered 7/16/21

    nothing else as of now 

     

    Ok So now onto SGC there thing is No backlog, No Bloated Turnarounds, No Games just accurate grades in a timely manner. starting at just $30 a card. now I picked this company for a reason they have been around for awhile they are a very reputable company and a similar grading style to CGC.

    SGC standard Service $30 Standard account with return Shipping $15 SGC Bill - $45

    Plus the $7.49 paid for Shipping with $500 insurance through USPS from me to SGC

    1. SGC 30 day service - $30
    2. Shipping fee - $15

    So in total for the 1 card standard level $52.49

    $45-SGC

    with advertised turnaround time of 30 days (business days)

    Currently I Shipped 7/12/21 USPS Delivered 7/15/21

    On 7/16/21 SGC sent email letting me know that they have received my card and appreciate my business

     

    And although the card values are different this is just a side by side to better understand things automated emails when cards are received the fact that a population report should have been released instead of opening sports cards and games soon in stead work on the things that need to be worked on. some may see CGC is gonna be the Pokémon standard. well it is starting to look like opening more types of service is more important. This is just a comparison of how company's receive cards and how long it takes to process it all. Fix what matters, focus at the task at hand before tackling a new one.

    The Search For Pre-1960 UK Price Variants

    Hello 

    I'm not going to post a big explanatory preamble this time, but just note that in this journal I will be looking to see if I can find any pre-1960 dated comics which could reasonably be referred to as 'UK Price Variants'. As we now know, a UK Price Variant is a book made for distribution in the UK, with a single printed UK cover price, but which was printed in the US as a junior subset of the same original print run as the primary cents priced version. We know from my research that UKPVs were produced post 1960 for seven US publishers, but I wanted to see if I could find any books prior to that date, either from the US or another country.

    I have a number of books to post about, so let's get started.

    I recently picked up this copy of 'Skunky Shopkeeper', undated, which carries a stickered one shilling price and an indicia which notes that the book was printed in Canada and distributed in the UK by 'Streamlined Books' (a possible misprint of the 'Streamline' of 'Pictorial Romance' fame?):

    

    I then picked up a second corner-nibbled copy, also with a sticker, and painstakingly removed it to reveal this apparently overprinted 6d price:

    

    Here are the two prices, side by side:

     

    So my first thought was 'could this be a UKPV of an original Canadian book?'

    I know very little about Gold and pre-1960s books. I'm sure there are people I could ask, but where's the fun in that? It's something to do, to potter on, explore and learn for yourself. 

    That said, the GCD helpfully tells me that my Canadian Skunky reprints the US comic 'Funland Comics #1'

    

    So I grab myself a copy of that book, also corner-nibbled:

    

    Is corner nibbling a thing in Gold?

    The obvious difference of course is the cover which is manifestly absent from 'Skunky'.

    The indicia of Funland advises that the book was printed in the USA, c1945:

    

    The interior story pages and content are the same as Skunky - here are the two books side by side:

     

    A bit of Googling brings me to this image below, source unknown, which shows my Skunky as being one of a number of coverless Canadian comics, overprinted with UK prices by Superior/Century Publications for distribution in the UK by Streamlined of London:

    

    It further says "The majority of these were remainders". Hold that thought.

    The assumption is that I have two copies of a comic that was printed in the USA for Croydon Publishing, of which unsold copies were picked up by Superior/Century Publications of Canada, who then stripped them of their covers and then overprinted them with a UK price (which were then subsequently stickered at a higher price).

    Incidentally, could the 6d overprinted price be for Canadian sales and the copies sent to the UK be marked up with the one shilling sticker? Mebbe.

    Back to the pre-1960 UKPV search, can the coverless guts of an original US book, that is then overprinted with a UK/Canadian price in Canada be considered a variant? It can't really, can it. Now if there was a copy of Funland #1 with a printed UK single price, which came from the same print run, then yes. But amended guts? That's pushing it a bit.

    Anyway, on inspection, the guts that comprise 'Skunky' do not actually appear to be remaindered copies of Funland #1 at all. If we look closely at these examples, we can see:

    1. A very different print quality and colouring - Funland is clean, Skunky has got all the sloppy production marks that tend to indicate a crude reprinting:

     

    The next two images show that clearly too - one clean, one with additional bits and bobs and an inferior production quality:

     

    2. Next, we can see that the two sets of guts have different overall dimensions:

    

    3. Any notion that that might be due to trimming evaporates when you see that the actual printed images are slightly bigger on the Skunky page than on the Funland original:

     

    4. The staples location is different on the two books too, and the Skunky ones are much bigger than the Funland's:

    

    My staple's bigger than yours mate!

    All the evidence, which is much clearer in hand I might add, indicates that our Canadian Skunky was reprinted rather than being a cover-stripped, remaindered original US book. So the 'Printed in Canada' of the indicia refers not just to the price / logo overprinting, but the whole book. From a UKPV search perspective, that takes Funland #1 out of the equation, as a UKPV must come from the same print run as the headline country copy. That leaves us with Canadian Skunky.

    Every copy of Skunky that I have seen has the 6d overprinted price. Now, if someone was going to reprint the guts, why would they then overprint a UK price? Why not do it all in one go? I say this, as I have noted that the 6d price moves from copy to copy (my copy vs GCD copy below):

     

    In summary, it looks like Superior Publishers of Canada obtained the rights (?) to reprint the guts of Croydon Publishing's Funland #1, minus the cover, did so and then added their company livery, an indicia and a 6d price. They then either sent the whole lot to the UK, who promptly increased that price with a sticker, or sold some of the 6d copies locally in Canada. 

    Even if we view Skunky as its own thing, separate to Funland, there is only one reprinted/overprinted version in existence it seems, so it can't be a UK Price Variant. If there was a majority 6d printed Canadian copy and a lesser UK one shilling printed copy, both printed together, we could perhaps make an argument. But there isn't. It seems.

    I rather enjoyed the exercise though, on this book, and it's fun to learn more about books of this age by mucking about with them directly and holding them in your hands. Especially when they include stories such as "Angel Pussy", the pages of which further illustrate the colour and quality contrast between the two books:

    

    Play nicely, Angel Pussy!

    Well, that's Funland vs Skunky out of the way, to get the ball rolling. Next up, Jeep Comics. Or Lucky Coyne. Or maybe K G Murray's Super Adventure Comic. Or another one of the various candidates I've amassed over recent years. I'll see which one takes my fancy before dropping Wonder Comics into the mix. 

    See you next time then, if you're interested....

    Slabs Slabs and more Signature Slabs..

    Hi Everyone,

    So I am a huge fan of The Last Ronin Franchise so I was lucky enough to finally receive 75 books I sent over for signature series grading which took about 10 months to complete. Was surprised to received a few 9.9's in the mix. I have over 430 books in the series so I am now slowly getting them all graded.  Should have another 40 books back in the next couple of weeks from the Ronin crew signing which was in May 2022.

    Check out the rest of the books at

    I haven't done a journal entry in 5 1/2 years!

    So let's do this!

    In a text to my wonderful girlfriend today, I said something to the effect of "it's like a cloud of lousy has been hanging over this whole week."  

    And it's the truth, we've both felt that way about our respective work weeks.  But that also makes me smile when I reflect on just how much higher the floor is for "lousy" than it used to be in my life.  

    Looking at the calendar, today (May 26th, but my typing carried over into the 27th) is actually the 9 month anniversary of my divorce being court official.  It's like Facebook official, only much legal-er!  We were "only" married 5 years, together for 7 and change, but it was still the worst thing I've ever been through in my life.  Even when you know it's the right thing to do, there's still a really heavy emotional soup to swim through.  I didn't want to come out of it resentful...but I ultimately came out of it resentful.  Though even resentful has a new definition - I don't wish her good, or bad.  I just have no wish.  Why is this you ask?  The money, the house, her...meh, I can easily move forward from those.  The only lasting wound - I got cut off from my three dogs.  After she said she'd never do that.  That's a microcosm of the relationship - a lot of talk, little execution.  Reminds me of my father.

    There's a lasting image in my mind from July 19, 2021, which was the day I moved the rest of my stuff out of the old house and into my new one (I love my new house btw).  I had stopped back over to feed the dogs on my way out of town for work, and as I was about leave out, my Siberian husky, my baby girl, flopped down in front of the front door and raised a back leg in her standard "pet my belly" posture.  I'd left the house plenty of times before, and she had NEVER done that.  It was like she knew I was leaving for good and was saying "Don't go!".  No shame, I cried for half the drive to Minneapolis.  It's a 6 hour drive btw.  Have not seen baby girl or the two boys since that day.  And I asked multiple times.

    One of the things a person learns quickly in codependence recovery - a codependent is drawn to what's familiar, even if it sucks.  My ex-wife was very insecure and frequently nagged me about petty stuff, much like my mother.  And as mentioned before, she promised, or ranted, or threatened, to do this that or the other, and never did.  Much like my father.  But... recovery!  Why didn't I see this?  Because we got together in 2013, and my recovery journey didn't start until a year later.  By that time, I probably felt somewhat pot committed, but more relevant, I wasn't immediately ready to acknowledge that people in my life were hurting me just as much as I had hurt them.  There were probably about 720 distinct invitations to break up.  But my mindset at the time was that I could work on myself and lead by example.  It clearly didn't work.  But that's OK.  I understand why I thought I could do it by myself at that time.

    So yes, I make for a good study in a psychology journal, but what does this all have to do with comics?  Well, if anyone has seen my recent sales threads, you're aware that I've started to lose my passion for collecting while maintaining a strong passion for the hobby.  Somewhat oxymoronic, yes, but I can honestly say I still can't wait for a show once I commit to attending.  And flipping through the raw back issue boxes is still a blast.  But buying the plastic off the wall, then storing it in the comic closet, next to the readers I never read...can't I do something better with that money?  

    The simple answer is yes.  In the past 6 months, I've been on five vacations.  In the past 5 years prior to November 2021, I'd been on one.  And I have had infinitely more fun.  Seriously, no scale can capture the level of fun of these past 6 months in comparison to the prior 60 months.  And a big part of that fun - the people.  I've been surrounded by great people, and great settings, at every turn.  I can finally be me to the fullest, not constantly tiptoeing around someone else's multitude of triggers.

    Focus Matt, comics.  Yes, comics.  The overarching point - my collecting went back into overdrive in January of 2013.  Not coincidentally, that was right around the time that I went through a really bad break-up, which rolled into several really dull dates, then led to hurting a really wonderful woman because I was a total mess of a human, and ultimately led to the relationship with my ex-wife.  And from January 2013 to January 2021, my collecting was always rotating between spots 1-3 of my favored escapes.  Hell, let's just call it my list of priorities.  Collecting was a big help in keeping me distracted from the harshness of a reality I wouldn't acknowledge - the relationship wasn't working.  

    So, when the fact of divorce finally became real in the throes of last year's winter, I started to realize that I had a bunch of...stuff...accumulated.  Some valuable stuff, sure, but still stuff.  And I had to ask myself, "what is all this stuff really doing for me?"  I started downsizing.  The initial stuff was easy, save for maybe the JIM 85.  But that's only because it hasn't stopped appreciating in value haha.  Yet I still trucked a good amount of it to my new house, and I sort of started accumulating again.  I didn't think I needed the distraction, but looking back, maybe I still did a little.  I was on my own (for the first time ever!), and comprehensively, the happiest and healthiest I'd been in quite some time.  Which only accelerated after I adopted my new husky.  

    But there was a lack of people in my life.  I bonded quickly with one set of my new neighbors, but I had lost most of my rolodex of friends in the course of the failed marriage (another casualty of my ex-wife's insecurities).  And my own family was out of the picture (a result of my own choices, zero regrets or regerts there).  Essentially, I was missing someone that I could lean on when I did need it.  Two times when that fact really hit home -- night #2 in Vegas, when I was sitting alone in the Irish pub between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay, and on Christmas.  Christmas has always been a bitter time for me - it was a chore with my parents, and they'd fight like clockwork.  And then my ex-wife turned it into a competition.  "You only got me x, and I got you x, y, and z!"  It's a wonder I didn't have any Christmas nights like in Step Brothers - "You smell like scotch and cheesecake."  Probably because I don't like cheesecake!

    2021 was the first Christmas I was completely free.  And football was on.  But I was still bitter.  Football on TV says, "Merry Christmas, from our family to yours."  I'd respond, 'F YOU!'    

    So ultimately...comics!  Since 2013, I had never made them a financial burden (prior to late 2007 though...), or a hoarding kind of obsession, but they have been my security blanket throughout large portions of my life.  But there's no shame in that.  My counselor proudly says that alcoholism saved his life by making life bearable until he got into recovery.  And comics did much the same for me.  They were my escape from situations that I found unbearable, until I had developed the tools to make any situation bearable.

    Life isn't just bearable though anymore; someway, somehow, I'm enjoying the heck out of it.  EVERY.  SINGLE.  DAY.  My passion for collecting may have lessened in the process, but I'll take that trade off any day of the week!

    Leading to today, and this week's cloud of lousy.  I dislike my employer.  I want to leave.  Everyone in the office seemingly wants to complain to me.  For whatever reason, I don't want to hear it this week.  And this wonderful woman in my life isn't yet here with me every day.  And she's having her own work issues.  And FaceTime is a meager substitute for a long, tight hug when you both really want and need it.  

    There was a time long ago when I would have let this turn into a never ending downward spiral (at least until some temporary fix came along).  

    BUT...there are still many positives at work.  I'm not just going to up and quit, because that would be idiotic.  And maybe other opportunities are on the horizon, we will see.  But more importantly - soon, very soon, she'll be here with me.  And when late December of 2022 rolls around, I fully expect that I'll probably come home one day to find her in the midst of beer number three, trying to gift wrap the cat, while our dogs look on in sheer perplexity.  And I'm going to lose my damn fool mind laughing.

    It's not a never ending spiral.  Lousy is only temporary.  Tomorrow is always a new day.

    Thanks for listening

    The Grade Is In - A conserved winner!

    The grade is in and the experiment is now fully complete - I am officially a conservation nerd!
    
    CGC correctly flagged the married cover as well as all the work done - and all of that passed the test in order to get a Conserved grade of 3.0! This is honestly slightly higher than I was expecting (my initial estimate was 2.5 at most), and even the White pages is an amazing cherry on top.
    
    How it started:  0.5 incomplete, its life is in shambles. 
    How it's going:  3.0 conserved, ballin' with white pages.
