  1. I have a big Joker/Harley Tattoo on my calf. Lemme see if I can get a pic.
  2. Comparing Walking Dead to TMNT #1 is ridiculous. Please, anyone how many TMNT #1's are there in 9.9, and 9.8? And how many Walking Dead in those grades. Seriously, to argue that is not even worthy of the time I just wasted with the most obvious point to be made. It's still common.. And it is a great read, but about as scarce as a ing McDonalds.
  3. For what has become a "big ticket item" as you say, that number is low. So you are assuming there are at least 340 people per state who are looking to drop 1K on a comic? A modern comic that is as volatile a market as can be? You do realise we are watching it shoot up, no leveling, no sustained market, just up. So I say we sit back and watch, because there are alot of speculators and hoarders who will be the ones to bust the bubble. I will guess that I am more aware of the fact there are people holding 5 to 10 copies of the "key" issues, and buying more to keep the market going. So this is a big we will see.
  4. Isn't this pretty much what Mike is like in real life? In real life he would be holding the fish in his mouth. His alter ego is very reserved..
  5. Yea, first appearance of a major character.. Seriously though, scummers!
  6. Not when the number of flippers of issue one exceed the number of buyers of current issues, but the number of people buying number one for four figures. Might be sooner than you think. Not everybody that buys the compendium is even remotely interested in owning a thousand dollar comic. Good point. $1000 issues take a lot of the fans out of the market. I don't see many old school collectors dropping that kind of coin for a new series when they can pick up some relatively rare bronze age keys in 9.8 for that $$$. And thats the crux right there. A few collectors of older comics are getting royally pissed that a 'modern' can command so much money. Its simple. Quite a few people nowadays find those older comics plain boring. Most moderns contain dialogue and storylines that would be considered obscene/immoral/add your own term, back then, but are relevant to how society is now. So younger people find relevance with characters in modern books but couldn't give a rats-behind about some guy who looks like a lizard (or whatever). The only exception is Batman, as he has been remade into a character for the 2010's - the last 3 films were masterpieces as stand alone movies,but as a triogy, unsurpassable. With the exception of Iron-Man I have found the Marvel Films as exciting as paint drying. Next-up - a talking Racoon. Really? Please. How many times has an older character died?? Unless they are a zombie, in moderns,its just once. At least collectors and sellers of modern comics don't go onto other age forums and be disrespectful about things those people collect. If TWD bombs - so be it. I would never go onto another 'age' forum and be so classless as to basically hope someones hardwon collection would go down the toilet. I was with you until Rocket Raccoon. The last Guardians of the Galaxy series was great, top 5 comics of the time. So to say that leads me to believe you did not read it.
  7. I just started picking up transfromers. All open and played with though, but I loved m originals as a kid, and there were a few I always wanted. Good luck, and if you have advice please share.
  8. I missed it. I even got a frikkin PM that it was gonna be for sale and missed that post. Cheers.
  9. Af15.... What's so great about that book? It doesn't even have batman!
  10. Get in line I was literally seconds late to nabbing the 6.0 copy sold on the boards a few weeks back I want a nice presenting VG Angelo.. You guys and your deep pockets
  11. I wanted the one gold dust had recently, but didn't want to part with the funds at the time. But I think this year I will pick up a copy
  12. I need a CS 22. The past year that one seems to linger on my radar.
  13. Sweet copy, but I would call it a VF/VF+ myself. I can't see a NM with that top edge.
