A quarter gone
Damn you fire in Fort Mac. If I was there i would drink a 2litre of Pepsi and take a leak on it to show my disdain. When i moved to Australia from Canada, my brother let me keep my comic collection at his place. His place is now just a pile of ash. His comic and my comic collection are history. I think i had 63 graded comics there. Thankfully no valuable graded ones. Just cheap Hulks mostly i think. I will have to go through my notes someday to figure out which ones. But my
It once was, but is not now
Oddly I can' t reply to X-ray Spexx journal. As to his query, yes there was a journal that was about some other company and its gone now. And I could not see the replies to the journal and got this UBB error, which is exactly the same as I get when I click on X-rays. I can open up the discussion thread on other journals. I can open up tnerbs old journal that was discussing the same topic. Maybe its not allowed to be discussed anymore.

Nope, no shipment off to CGC
Now I don't want everyone to be too envious, but last week I won an Alpha Flight #7 on ebay for pretty cheap. The bidding was hard fought, but with days left I became the highest bidder and to my delight I got a text from ebay congratulating me on winning such a prized item, ( pretty nice of the folks there ) So I paid right away, sighing in dismay as the shipping cost was more then the cost of the comic, but nodding my head slightly as I gave a little lip curl in
Do they exist?
I recently won a number of CGC comics and have tried to add them to my sets but four of the comic serial numbers do not exist apparrantly. Are there fraudulent cgc's out there? I have never had this before. I am just thankful that my Hulk 182 9.6 exists and had belonged to another member before it moved to my home.

All good now
So as I often do, I am looking up comics on WWComics, and have a ton in my cart, and as usual far more then I can really afford so I am having to widdle them down, I pulled out my phone and looking at my graded comics lists tossing out a couple that I already had graded. Satisfied all is ready, and much pondering, of " should I?" and finally hit the submit button, when I do a Tool Time "HRURGH?" And mad scramble I verify my list to my phone and then open up here just to double
Is it really?
I am just wondering about variant comics. I see all the time at mycomicshop all these Mark Jeweller variants that they are trying to peddle for three or four hundred percent more then the normal version. Mark Jewellers is just an advertisement in the comic. Do people actually consider this a variant and if so does CGC note that when they are grading? I have no intention of going for them as I don't consider them to be variants. Just wondering what others think.

Did it again
Darn darn darn, ( not the actual word I am using) Mycomicshop auctions ended today, and unfortunatly I won 5 auctions. Now one would think that " Hey, thats cool" except when you live in Australia. 4 cgc's from Mycomicshop they charge 18 bucks shipping, 5 books, they charge 53 dollars for shipping. 35 bucks more for one more book. It drives me bonkers. Especially when I didn't win any of my core series that I collect. I won two civil war 9.8 SS, for very cheap which is goo
How to clear up the journals
I did enjoy seeing the pictures of the harvey stuff at first, but since there was no story about anything it quickly bored me...oh look, airplane... Uh, oh yeah. If you have gotten tired of all the journals of any certain person, the easiest way is to log into your account, click on the person's name in the journal and instead of clicking follow, click ignore. And that immediatly hides all of that persons journals. If people post 70 or 80 posts in two days, it
This is where it all began
I finally got around to getting it, Transformers number 19. It is what started my collecting comics. I dont remember why I bought it when I saw it sitting on the comic rack at the IDA pharmacy. But I did and was hooked. I lived in a rural area, two tv channels, and never got to see the transformers on tv growing up, and I never got into collecting the toys, but for some reason I collected the Marvel series religiously. I branched off into other comics, Hulk being
What are some good Android apps for cell phone in regards to comic collecting and tracking my collection
I recently updated my phone and bought a samsung galaxy 2 and was wondering what are some good applications to be able to record my comic collection on, as thats one of the main reasons I updated my phone. I haven't found any good ones in the Android apps store.
