Upallnight

The 1200s are damn good. I am very fond of Technics direct drive tables, they are tanks and just don't quit. I have picked up ones that looked horrid, lots of "patina" but after dialing in the speed on the strobe they just work.

Thank you very much, appreciate the post. I was lucky, it was a yard sale stack of about 30, so pure, sheer ignorance and luck on my part! By color breaking, is that the difference between a dent where the color remains solid throughout the dent vs. where the dent causes damage and even if pressed out it shows?

Ah, thanks. I have been around various boards for 20 years or so and always appreciate the work of the mods. I have done a bit of that, and it is not easy.

Yup, all of the above but vintage turntables are my main interest! Cut down to 6 tables during lockdowns but have added a couple since then. I put up a PGM post for the X-23 with pictures, though I don't know if it has been Mod approved yet. Not that I mind Mod approval for new sign-ups, it keeps things tight.

Just found out about this forum and have been reading a lot of threads. There is a lot of knowledge here! I am actually a vintage audio enthusiast and while I hunt for that, some of large extended family have me keep an eye out for them since I do a lot of yard and community sales. That includes comic books and Magna for the in-laws kids to read, as what I normally find is pretty common but good reading material. I don't find a ton for them though, it seems folks like to hold on to the comic books! I ended up here as I recently picked up a stack of 30 or so modern age comics in really good shape. Mom was holding the sale and said she bought them for her son but he hardly read any of them. And in there was an NYX #3 with Laura Kinney's first appearance, and I was really surprised to see such a modern comic have that kind of value. Now I will be keeping a keener eye out when hunting audio gear. I have a couple of other collections as a result of being out there, as I like the idea that it is stuff I have found. I could see getting a stash of interesting comics that won't go to the inlaws for consumption!

Appreciate some assistance on the possible grading for this comic. This is my first post to the forum as I just discovered it after finding this comic was an interesting one and doing some net searches. I picked up a stack of more recent comics (200o to 2010) for reading but was surprised when checking out what we had gotten. I am new to grading, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. To me the main flaw is on the bottom left corner by the bar code, and a couple of small dents. There are 3 pictures of the corner, as from the side it looks worse than from the top, and one is from the back where it is not to bad. In the last picture I circled the dents. Otherwise it looks pretty good to my untrained eye. Hope I got the guidelines correct, many thanks.
