I like the avatar of the "F her right in the P guy!!!" Strong play by Linguiniii.

There is a factor that is not being discussed at all. All of my Sandman books are either OO or picked up by me between 2000-2005 or so when all 80s and 90s books were being sold at fractions of their highs. I do not have an 8(b) because they were never available cheaply, and never made it into bargain bins. I have only held two in person - both at Andy Ash's Sheraton show in the early 90s and both were $100. This was a time when I had never paid more than $20 for a book. With them being rare as hen's teeth when they were relatively new, I don't see how any data, whether it is completed sales on auction sites or anything else, is more than pure speculation. And I certainly don't see why we should assume a higher than normal attrition rate for something that was HIGHLY coveted from the moment it was known to exist. If it were me, I would be trolling the former goth girl soccer moms for copies.

Whomever is in Northern Indiana needs to put up a 12er of 3 Floyds Zombie Dust. I will kick in some Little Kings Cream Ale.

I hope so. I have been hoarding Sandman 13s for a couple years. That's my favorite issue of Sandman. Thought it was wonderful. There are some amazing stories in the teens - Calliope, Dream of a Thousand Cats, and the one about Element Girl. Sorry for hijacking the Lucifer thread, but, well, Sandman.

Sadly not, according to the description... Yeah, he paid Stan Lee extra to do that!

Abject yellow label hate aside, having Stan Lee write "I wish Spider-Man meet the Wolverine" on a Hulk 181 is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. And yes the book looks horrible. Even with my yellow colored glasses. +1 I didn't even bother reading that hideous scrawl. That's defacement then, not a signature. I really agree. I usually like remarks, and I think the "Hulk Smash" that Stan wrote is cool, and (relatively) unobtrusive. But that nonsense phrase is a real head scratcher.

I know that. But humping logic like a schnauzer is no good for anyone.

What point have you proven? You've made a statement of opinion. Then you've asked a question. Then you've made a statement of fact that is proven wrong by the fact that there are $1500+ in bids with 4 days left. Try harder.

I needed an SS bashing thread to get the blood flowing today!

Another way to look at it is that the risk takers remove the risk from the market for the benefit of those who might make an errant purchase. If it's a scam, Columbia will probably out the guy for the better of the community. Economies are all encompassing. They don't only have one side. Ying and yang. It's important to seperate personal preferences from 'right and wrong'. via Imgflip Meme Maker

Amex likes us....and never once had a problem. So I don't hesitate to pull the trigger on "50/50" deals. Never thought about this before, but how does one pay with their credit card through PayPal? On my account, I can manually switch it from Paypal balance ( or drawing from a checking account) to one of two credit cards, for every transaction. Cash is the default, but it is easy to switch for whatever reason.

Nunya.

I have bought a number of raw squarebounds from Jim and each and every one has come back 9.8.

Reading through the old kudos thread to see some old books. Came across this and it cracked me up.

The 30 cent and 35 cent issues have always been way tougher. The only issue other than #1 that I ever went after was 25. And I always found 10 #1s to every 25. I didn't know about the Black Adam thing until they started popping on Ebay late spring - early summer. By July I came across two near complete 30 cent runs, both with the 25 and 28 pulled.
