So true. People that we had a long term connection with and people we thought were oh so solid and reliable proving themselves otherwise. Perhaps the reality is that life is tough and complicated and we'll never know how we'll react to tough times until we go through them.
I hope Beachbum can fix all this and I hope he comes here and communicates and owns this
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.

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.

Finally finished a 1982 Hawk figure so that I could have the OG 13 complete with all the 82 vehicles be it 1982/83 figures. Been waiting awhile to fix my original Hawk and do this picture. Just need one more of those UZi's to be 100% complete.
Congratulations on a great collection!

This show is amazing! Start to finish I enjoyed every last minute of it!

You got that right. Trends come and go, and liking Marvel was exactly that, a trend. Personally, I never liked any of the Marvel movies at all. For the past 14 years, all Marvel fans did was troll and destroy anything DC on the internet, just to force Marvel comic values to shoot up. I honestly have no respect for Marvel, or their fans. In fact, when I was a kid, I liked both DC and Marvel, but grew out of liking Marvel. I just felt like it was for little kids, and just bland and boring.
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.

@The Lions Den more just confused by what exactly is on that bit of the book? Whatevs; it be what it be!
Just curious what the flip it could be that would permit a 9.6…..
Its more likely to be just some light discoloration or super light foxing which could have been what kept it from 9.8.

How did I miss that crease in Web of Spider-Man?
Too many near mints in a row blinded me.
The other 4 I consistently graded 1 point lower.Same exact thing I did

I am not struggling as I am exactly doing pretty well. Most of the mainstream investors moved on. They will continue to move on. It wasn`t about cutting corners. Most people rather spend/invest their money on other things now. The Marvel movie spell hype is over. Wait a year when prices will be even lower. This is a great time to be a comic book collector, not a comic book investor. Let`s face most comic book investors have lost 50% or more these last few years. We are not talking 5 or 10 percent. The same thing happened with sports cards and other collectibles. People got smart as in they can make more money in the stock market or high-yield savings account.
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.

Sometimes short-sighted answers are the best. I have been thinking long term. I will make a bet with you if the comic book market goes up a year from now I will send you one of PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App to any charity of your choice $100.
If it goes down further like I think, then you send me $100 to a charity of my choice.
Deal?
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.

The major factor is the Marvel movie hype is over. A great-looking movie coming out Deadpool and Wolverine, but yet both Incredible Hulk #181 and New Mutants #98 have dropped in price incredibly. The Deadpool and Wolverine movie can`t even move the needle, and actually lower prices show people have moved on. Most people I know want to go to music concerts, sports events and great restaurants and experience good feelings with memories and not collect things.
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.

And while I'm all about the "live" experience I am becoming more and more concerned with backing tracks and are they really singing?
If you can't sing anymore don't play live..
The fact that people are charging insane money and not even performing the songs live is disgusting at absolute best.

My son has been taking his old (non valuable) GI Joes and turning them into Deadpools. Pretty cool.
He 3D prints the swords and sheaths and theey fit perfectly into the back pegs
These are amazing!! I would absolutely love one!
Too many near mints in a row blinded me.
I'll bet you didn't give the Spotlight 6 a 6.5 like I did
