  1. So sorry to hear about his passing... he got me hooked on GA Disney and was a fountain of information in the short time I corresponded with him on the boards.
  2. Has anyone from CGC made any acknowledgment about this situation? Haven’t had the patience to go through all 125 pages…
  3. G.I. Joe and Transformers were probably the hottest selling toys and comics of my youth eclipsing all that stood in their way. The cartoons and comics were essentially the driving force to sell the toys, it was a brilliant strategy. Multi media cross promotion.
  4. Weekend Heritage win. Never thought I’d ever own one of these, but at 40% down from last sale, I’ll take it. Tape or no tape.
  5. Here’s a pretty uncommon SA key that did not do well at all last night…
  6. Scrooge McDuck is probably the best example of a cartoon character who first appeared in a comic and went on to a storied run in both comics and TV afterwards.
  7. I made a nice sale today. Not a record price but I paid 300$ plus grading pre COVID so I’m happy it found a new home.
  8. I think it's more that the entire comic industry is based on emotion, not just individuals and their own books but the characters and creators that evoke those emotions. Collectors get emotional when they get the key they've wanted forever, run fillers when they finish a series, speculators when they flip for a profit, investors when a book increases over time... Without that emotion, the hobby crumbles.
  9. They are the absolute worst to Canadians. I avoid them like the plague.
  10. Some of the more modern Archie keys are also seeing renewed interest in my area especially early Cheryl Blossom appearances.
  11. I only buy comics that spiked 99% so I should be good
  12. Not all of us were born then to be buying Hulk 181s and GSX 1s off the rack
