F For Fake

Nah, then you'll need all of the homage covers too! It never ends! Seriously though, that's a cool set. I started putting the set together myself (non SS) but eventually decided to narrow my focus, and Spidey didn't make the cut. But I still think they look so cool all together!

I like Greggy's posts. I like lots of scans and pics of comics. I don't see the point in complaining about anyone's posting style. If it bugs you that much, ignore him. That being said, the QUOTING of the posts...now that may be a bit much.

Nice one! When I saw the NSFW warning, I thought maybe we'd see King Kong's Ding Dong. I'm glad I was wrong wrong.

Hi there! I would never discourage someone from getting a book graded if they just want to do so for their own personal pleasure, but as for any "future collecting", there's no value in doing so. These books are not valuable or in demand. A NM+ set just sold for 99 cents on eBay. It's unlikely that they're going to experience a major shift in value. So, that's a bit of a downer. That being said, if you like 'em just because you like 'em, put them in a nice mylar bag and board, and enjoy them for years to come!

I wish Dio could come back from the grave to kick Gene's . That'd be very metal. Gene Simmons is, like, the worst person in the world. Or at the very least he's Top 5.

True. And while I'm only one person, I'd have to think there are others who feel similarly. I dunno, I see this being a fairly modest hit by Marvel comparisons. I'm sure it'll do great business, but I doubt it'll do Civil War of GotG business. Should be interesting to see.

EVS being a garbage person isn't political.

And now you're freaking me out! Stop it!

It's easier to just give in and join us.

But the Heath crunchy Klondike bars...oh man...those are choice.

I bought a 3000 book collection about a month ago, and I'm just about done clearing it out and recuperating. Ugh. 40,000 makes me break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it!

So what are the odds that any of these Valiant movies ever actually get made?

I think I'm experiencing Spider-fatigue. These reboots just keep popping up too close together for me to care. I still haven't washed the bad taste of the last three Spider-Man movies out of my mouth. I may pass on this one, catch it on Netflix.

Beautiful collection!

Well, I've been picking them up for years, as, like I said, I'm a big Gen 13 fan. So if I find them in NM+ to NM/Mint for $1 or less, yeah, I buy 'em. No intention of flipping them, just enjoy having them.

Did the thread get a haircut? I feel like I'm missing a chunk of conversation. Or, it may just be the cocaine.

Love it!

The idea that adults apparently need a chaperone to tsk them when they swear is still hilarious to me. But, hey, it's not my message board, so if I want to play here, I'll play by the rules.

Same here! I have grabbed a bunch of #1's out of dollar bins, and have only a single NS to show for it!

Yeah, I'm still picking up Blacks as long as they're super sharp and $1 or less. But they gotta be purty for me to pick 'em anymore. I've only picked up three or four golds in my bargain digging, but I'm holding onto them tight! For me it's also not just a spec pick, I'm actually a huge Gen 13 fan. It still astonishes me how many copies of the mini series #1 I've picked up for $1 or less, when that was a $50 wall book back when it came out. Hoping the team has their time in the sun again!

Yeah, I've got a pretty good stack of them myself. Even if Gen 13 does pop again one day, there's a ton of supply out there. I have been picking up the Gold ones when I see them though.

Jaws 3-D has two things going for it: 1. Lea Thompson in a bikini 2. It's not Jaws IV: The Revenge I'd say $1 is about right. Jaws 2 is ok. Its biggest issue is that it has no reason to exist, as Jaws is a perfect film, and impossible to replicate.
