We create sooooooooo many reasons to filter our collections. It shows you how it's all about the chase.

Here's the oldest thread I can find, the others have been mysteriously poofed. It was $12 for a modern in 2012. I don't know where I heard $3, but clearly that wasn't right.

Wasn't it $3 when they first started?!?

Anything you rub on inks is going to remove the ink. I don't know of anyone who is using this sponge in the manner that you are.

Thoughts I recently posted about ages in another thread. A few thoughts on 'ages'. 1. Ages don't necessarily start and stop consecutively. i.e. it's not the case that the GA stops on 12/31 and SA starts on 1/1. I think there are a few cases where the start is obvious (Action 1, Showcase 4), but more where an age evolved slowly, both beginning and end. So to try to define them with an absolute date or issue is impossible. 2. Ages don't apply across the board for publishers, titles, or characters. Showcase 4 in 1956 is obviously silver age, but Batman from the same month still feels like the doofy 50s Batman rather than the one that changed in 1964. You can say that the GA ended with WW2, but I think the later All Stars, Flash, Superman, Batman, etc., still feel very GA. Timely and Nedor, on the other hand had clear changes as the war ended since their covers were almost exclusively war-related. So a 1947 DC might seem very GA, but a 1947 Timely doesn't. Similarly the SA is very different for DC vs. Marvel. The Silver Age begins with Showcase 4 in 1956, but for Marvel it doesn't really start until FF 1 in 1961. Therefore a 1957 Marvel (which would be Atlas at the time) isn't viewed as SA, while a 1957 DC might be SA. Further, Showcase 4, while being clearly the start of the SA, doesn't mean that all DCs after Showcase 4 are SA. Is All Star Western 89 not SA, while 91 is SA? No, it took some time for the whole comic book field to evolve into the SA. 3. The definitions of an 'age' aren't consistent. GA and SA conventionally refer to superhero comics. The Golden Age started with Action 1 and the Silver Age started with Showcase 4. Those terms are used broadly in society, but there aren't societal equivalents for Bronze, Copper, etc. Those terms then followed to refer more to eras than actual events, which is why there is so much debate over when the BA started. There isn't a singular book like Action 1 or Showcase 4 that defined the change, nor was there a tapering out of the preceding era to make such a singular book stand out. In this case it's more that things shifted over time with things like GL 76, the Spidey drug books, etc., that were reflective of a societal shift rather than an event in the history of comic publishing. So GA and SA refer to one type of change, while BA refers to another and CA yet another. Then throw in things like "atomic era", "pre-code", "pre-hero Marvel", etc., and things get really confusing because you're referring to different framing points in different genres, publishers, titles, and characters (e.g. nobody talks about pre-code Disney).

There's only 18 certified at 9.4 or better in the entire run, so given the demand I wouldn't expect them to go cheap.

Blast from the past!

All the more reason he should have taken care of this previously.

All American Western with Toth. Later Western Comics with Kane covers, Infantino interiors. Prize Western with Severin/Elder covers. Tons of gems in the Atlas line from Heath, Maneeley, etc. Lotsa great stuff out there. @Steppenwolfscomics has been posting some really great westerns lately.

You can stop the rusting process by just keeping it in a dry place. Everything else you're proposing is way overkill. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

The alternative is to wait for comicconnect to send you a non-itemized invoice with several sales that didn't go through.

It says 45 days in the contract you signed.

I was watching that one in real time and scratching my head.

Love 'em all.

I was the underbidder on the 7.5. I wasn't interested in the 6.0 because the colors weren't fresh. But the grader's notes on the 7.5 made it sound like the rust at the single staple was one fedex bump away from a 3.0. As such I wasn't willing to chase it any higher, and I imagine that kept others away also. I can't speak to the 6.0, but I think for the way it presented it was too much.

I had a 7.5 that looks way better that I just cracked out from this era for supposed staining on the cover. None to be found.

Technically I'm typing with it. But it makes my twerking game on point.

In all fairness he was trying to communicate with a Canadian.

Macaulay Culkin is timeless.

I bought the 36. Tough era and the price was pretty reasonable. No idea on the others.

Every now and then things work out in your favor.

Go back to arguing.

IMO it was a turd. Boring. If it were a TV episode it might have been ok, but too long. The ultimate resolution of the villain was underwhelming and illogical. The story was incoherent in the sense that while you could follow it, the rationale behind each step didn't make sense. One problem that has been in other MCU movies, but was overdone in this one is that you have a hero with virtually unlimited power who struggles to take down some random powerless soldier. Samuel L Jackson needs to move on from the MCU as his schtick is tired (ooh, let me guess, he's going to be sassy...). I wouldn't say it was a bad movie, but it was definitely not a good movie.

I'll send a facebook clip via IG like a grandma...
