    As requested, and thank you for the reply. I'm a totally amateur at this but I'm glad even a beginner could show some instinct ability! I'm just not sure what to do with them now.

    Most of the comics would fall into the sub-$25 range, but you have some rarities in there. Long Distance Wife doesn't appear on GCD (comics.org), and could bring nice money just based on rarity/weirdness. The Active 29 I mentioned, if complete, is worth more than what you paid for the entire lot.

    Opinions would be nice, I've no idea what I'm doing apart from basic research. Some are not in the best condition but did I lose money? Pretty sure that here's some golden age, silver age and some pulp. Also a load of British mini ones.

    Thank you for that excellent response Qalyar!
    I've been gathering a copy here and there, and plan to put a journal entry together at some point.
    Here's The Frightened Bride, along with several other new ones which I will scan and post in the journal entry. I'll see if I can contact Michael Carroll too. It would be nice to document them more fully than the current GCD record. It's clear there are a good few more than ten 

    Here's another that I do have scanned, also not on the list:

    Whiner whiner porcupiner here.I know,I said I'd be back sooner and believe me,I've been anxious about not.Not that I'm super self absorbed and think y'all are salivating awaiting my return,but that's why I hate saying a date or a time....time melds for me I lose days or sometimes the mental illness os so much of a turd on toast it's literally crippling.Like it makes no sense but just thinking of online gives me mad dread.
    I ended up needing another 'round' of neck blood cleaning,so four times four hours ugh.Wiped me out,scared me and I just have no luck in March.Three years today Penny died.So many other bad memories..but,pretty sure I'm gonna live.It was really touch and go again,blood infection,was worried it got in bone and the leg would go(insert silent crying).And my mom was in hospital same time nearly,having heart speed issues,too fast and it caused a small stroke.sigh,and now my partner just had to spend a night in hospital for IV antibiotics coz of a cut while cleaning a fish tank.WHY?
    So,yeah,whiner porcupiner.

    @KirbyJack when I get ahold of a camera I have a Hot Wheels I have to show you.It ties into a comic of yours I swear  like,I thought of you when I got it and it's not FF!
    @namisgr Maybelline was not doing well for a bit-the American tabby you are fond of of Ardy and I's- she's so old and small that the vet said there was nothing we could do about the dental issues she's having and when Penny died she stopped eating for a long time and was tres skinny.I honestly thought I was going to lose her at 18.Well,I started giving her a small amount of cbd and giving her kitten food thrice daily from the can and things are great.She even caught and savaged a big ol mouse today! Anywhoo,she said to tell you about it! 😎No photos as the Pineapple was going crazy with the other kids and my partner is back getting the infection checked,so no camera/phone.I'm still a Luddite no monile tracking device here!
    Anyone here dig Hot Wheels,toys and or comics?Let's dish!
