  1. User: mc_finest He made me an offer on an expensive comic book (2k), I accepted. Long story short, he reneged. Oh and he offered to buy it but for less money.
  2. I was told last week in three stores that they still have lines the day it comes in off the truck and they sell out instantly. Kids and I had a blast playing Zelda today. I'm thinking we might just replay the series. My understanding is that since the original NES was not designed for the current TV's that there are too many attachments and hardware modifications that need to take place. Either way, I am liking the fact that there is a save feature on the NES Classic. That, and I am no longer at a time in my life where I want to blow dust out of a game to get it to work. I will probably still wait until I find it at retail. I had no issue hooking up the Nintendo to my TV. It had an audio/visual port on the side and I just plugged it right in. It looks beautiful on my tv too. They also change out something in the system and you no longer have to blow in it. I forgot what they change but most of the eBay listings will mention that it has been changed. I did buy mine from a retro store though and it was serviced and guaranteed for 30 days. It's usually the 72 pin connector and sometimes the lockout chip needs to be disabled. You can refurbish the OG 72 pin connector pretty easily as well. Long story short, because Nintendo felt that a western audience would be more comfortable putting cartridges into a system that more closely resembled a VCR. They went out of their way to make the cartridge slide in and then push down. This design makes for an awkward placement of the 72 pin connector and every-time you push down on the game, the pins bend a little. Blowing into the cartridge doesn't actually work, it's just taking the cart in and out will sometimes work if the pins are loose. The connector got damaged and the pins loosened over time especially when kids would leave a game in the down position when the console was not in use. I'm guilty
  3. $150 shipped $120 (domestic) we'll have to figure out shipping elsewhere. **Really nice looking File copy
  4. V For Vendetta Crayon Sketch - David Loyd Original Art - $150 shipped $125 shipped (domestic) figure out cost elsewhere. **I had it signed to me because I wasn't planning on selling it but for this charity I figure wth.
  5. I really wanted to upgrade my 7.5 but couldn't swing it. Congrats.
  6. I'm very excited to win this last night. Not many 9.4s floating around of these books.
  7. I ended up winning 5 of the Suzies, I just didn't have the scratch to get all of the books that I needed unfortunately. I'm really happy to have won what I did, 5 Suzies is a very nice score for me but man, if these books would have surfaced just a few months ago I would have been able to be a lot more aggressive in my bidding. 5 Suzie's is an amazing score! After the auction ended, I remembered you were in the market for a Top-Notch 31 too, and thought maybe you had snagged it. I won the Jolly Jingles 11. Cool Super Duck cover( had the number 10 had an attached cover I would have bid a little higher). But glad to have scored what I did. Congrats on the Suzies! Very nice - I was eyeing those Jolly Jingles as well, but in the end I had to stay focused on the Suzies. Top-Notch 31 will continue to elude us... for now.

  9. That's about as good as it gets from my experience. Beautiful books Andrew
  10. These books have seen a recent spike in interest but I think these two are still an underrated duo. Very tough to find in nice shape.
  11. I just got this one back. I'm finding #100 to be one of the most difficult to find in nice shape. Anyone have a nice one?
  12. Now for the complete set Jetta 5: Jetta 6: Jetta 7:
  13. Nice one - last of the Everett Marvel Boy issues
  14. A couple of new ones - both I think look very nice for the grade.
  15. I love those early Wilburs - nice book! 2nd Katy Keene right?
  16. Nice looking copy, I got this one from a collection that was unearthed here on the boards actually.
  17. Not high grade but respectable copies. Beggars can't be choosers, right? #30 has been a real pain the butt for me, when the 7.0 sold at HA I thought I would end up with it. I kept bidding and bidding and bidding but someone else ended up wearing out my wallet. I'll have to settle for this VG
