  1. Conan got me, gave it a 9.0... The rest were 1 point off minus bettie which was 2.
  2. Very well said. We have seen so many members over the years stumble and find their way back, I hope this is just a quick error and gets corrected.
  3. This is really disappointing to see, dude had a stellar reputation for well over a decade. And now it looks to be in jeopardy, Mike D same thing. Im really sad to see such long tenured members destroying their reputations.
  4. This show is amazing! Start to finish I enjoyed every last minute of it!
  5. I just like comics, good stories entertain me. For whatever reason you speak as if you are some elitist and look down on others because they collect what they enjoy.. You should probably look into just talking to people and not judging them over the most trivial krap.
  6. Its more likely to be just some light discoloration or super light foxing which could have been what kept it from 9.8.
  7. As a comic collector and dealer I can say 2 things with absolute confidence. The stock market at it's best has never been able to duplicate profits I have been able to find in comics. Coming in and trying to invest in comics while not knowing what you're doing is no different than if I came in and dumped all my money into a few stocks because some investing guru told me to. If you don't take the time to really learn comics (takes years), you will not be successful.
  8. Seems ambiguous at best. Books will always go up and down, tastes change, focus change, people come and go. If you really want to sit and act like it is guaranteed that books will continue to drop then we can certainly discuss how much Crime Suspenstories 22 will drop by at least 15% in all grades over the next year if that suits you? We obviously can't track everything and many blue chip books become less stable around movie hype.
  9. You're still collecting something, a memory. And if in fact you have to make the choice between those things and comics there are obviously other factors including your personal funds available for entertainment, priorities in said entertainment, etc. But to say the Deadpool movie can't "move the needle on those books may possibly be one of the most short sighted answers available. How much do those book currently sell for (through rises and dips)? They have ALWAYS been readily available, many people had bought them years ago and prices can only climb so high. Did you expect Hulk 181 to reach a million in 9.4? No, it will always rise and fall and when you rise into the 5 figure market your buyer pool shrinks by leaps and bounds. People have hardly "moved on", maybe YOU have found social outings to be more exciting? But I can say that I attend typically 2-3 shows a month "I don't say concerts", usually hit a Birds game once a season, and eat at different restaurants a few times a month with the wife. Still spend plenty of time with comics, building cars, playing in my own band, and raising 2 teenage boys who are multi sport athletes. Just because YOU struggle to figure out how to better manage funds and time doesn't mean the world has moved on.
  10. The fact that people are charging insane money and not even performing the songs live is disgusting at absolute best.
  11. Did not do well this round. I undergraded most of these severely..... Link to my Ebay anyone
