  1. One more Richie Rich added to my Bronze Age Harvey hoard! This "gem" is tied with a handful of others for highest-graded copy!
  2. I recently dipped my toe back into the Marvel Picture Frame waters and just received a handful back from CGC!
  3. I have taken advantage of Conan's generous offer and moved one of my MCS consignments over to the account they have set up for @jimjum12 Love Diary #31 with a beautiful cover-matching purple label! (just a tear seal - no CT). Head over to MCS and grab it now for only $300 with every penny going to help this great cause - get well soon, Jimbo! https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ivitems=7638951#58759618
  4. I am sure MCS would have zero qualms in respect to any decision made by CGC regarding restoration or the lack of. And though there may be grading fees involved with submitting to CGC (depending on the value you declare for the comic), you should be able to recover those via an increase in value for any higher grade, even if restored. The higher grade may also make it easier to move. Personally, I would not give up on this comic.
  5. If you want to sell it, you are going to have to take the resto hit. But you could ask MCS to send it to CGC for grading. It will still come back purple but I am guessing with a much higher grade than the 5.0 MCS gave it.
  6. Jumping fish-hooks! Wasn't Pie-Face an Eskimo?
  7. Misleading thread title! And very disappointed to find out there are, in fact, NO Big Boy books for sale here!
  8. Now I understand the warning about the dangers of romance!
  9. "Don't get on that ship! To Serve Man...it's...it's a cookbook!"
  10. Great looking comic! But isn't this issue from the Bronze Age? You might get more views in GSB than here in Copper/Modern Age.
  11. I wouldn't call the novel Frankenstein a Gothic Romance and still don't see the warning about the dangers of romance. I will find my Wrightson Frankenstein (autographed by the artist!) and take a peek but highly doubt I will ever reread the novel. I find 19th century literature can be a slog to get through
  12. I thought about it and still don't see it (the novel being a warning about the dangers of romance). Been a long time since I read the book but I see it more as a warning about the dangers of obsession.
  13. The novel was a warning about the dangers of romance?
  14. I see Frankenstein as fitting the genre of Gothic Horror/Fantasy, not science fiction. I consider sci fi to be stories that deal with the "future" and technological advancements there, etc. For myself, the simple inclusion of science in a story does not make it "science" fiction.
  15. I'm hoping that the Surfer will still be Norrin Radd and that Anya Taylor-Joy's role will be as Frankie Raye (she is a redhead), who will save the Earth by agreeing to become Galactus' new herald, Nova! I am guessing the script writers will pass on including the ultimate nullifier, the original deus ex machina.
  16. The secret to getting a five figure post count is finally revealed...
