  1. Suspension of disbelief is different than suspending logic. Yep. Any good "fantasy" has to establish and adhere to its own internal logic; otherwise, the fact that it's not real can be used to justify any random nonsense, and the whole thing loses its integrity. I'd stop watching Game of Thrones if the Khaleesi rolled up to King's Landing in a Dodge Charger. Liar.
  2. Just popped in to see see how much Logan hated this movie. I'll take the answer off the air.
  3. You can own one now . . . Oh, and btw, it's the same art. SOLD! Wow. He should almost feel guilty. Almost.
  4. I predicted years ago that someone would go off on Kevin76.
  5. Thanks, guys. Chris deserves all the kudos, for giving me the chance to get the original single signed book at a smoking deal, and for getting everything lined up for the Monkees signing this year. There will be more to come from that signing, and I can't wait to see them.
  6. Special thanks to Chris (comix4fun) all the way around on this. All three living Monkees on a gorgeous file copy.
  7. Of all the huckstering I've seen here, this one doesn't even move the needle for me.
  8. If its possible to make it happen this is the best way. My only reservation about donations to charity is what happens if rayjay comes back looking for his refund. If $20.66 is going to keep anyone from clearing their name after a screw up, shame on them.
  9. I am handling that signing. You have to send the books to me with absolutely no way of identifying yourself. Then I will throw them all in the sewer, buy Richie five shots of Johnnie Walker Blue, and slug my CAW, JWalker, in the nuts.
  10. +1 Willing suspension of disbelief can only go so far.
  11. How can anyone say for sure what is going to happen? When I see all these dollar bin books going for insane prices, I have no idea where it could all go. 30-somethings nostalgic for Darkhawk - Check. Wolverine prototype in FOOM 2 pushing that book over $500 - Check. Frickin Star Lord appearances blowing up - Check. If someone announces that Sleepwalker is about to go into production, I will suppress the urge to laugh and start digging through longboxes.
  12. I though this proved to be a different character? DC wikia lists it as him, so I guess for now it is: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/John_Constantine_%28New_Earth%29 All that really matters is what the market thinks, but Bissette has stated on several occasions that the guy in 25 was Sting. He and Totleben had been bugging Moore to have a Sting-like character for a while. It took them a while to get him to relent and we got JC in 37. The funny thing is, it is just so much simpler to look at 25 as some kind of cameo.
  13. You're both comparing the intial market offering to the secondary market, which is a whole different ball game. By this logic Walking Dead #1 should be sold at cover price. As Lazyboy pointed out, there is nothing "limited" about an electronic that can be duplicated over and over as the same. With collectibles the initial offering is made once offered to the public and that's it. To be fair, Spreads did state that this model only applies to collectibles. But....how do you think all of those Tickle me Elmo's and Playstation's end up on Craigslist for inflated prices every Christmas? Secondary Market, the initial market supply did not meet the demand. With the comparison to an Apple product, can you image if they only made 1,000,000 iphones? That's it, done. They would be well over $1k each on the secondary market. This only applies to collectibles thought, right? Well, not exactly. Think about when a professional service is offered, say an attorney. When they start out, learning the profession, they charge a nominal fee. In 20 years once they have the experience are they still charging the same fee? I really hope not. That concludes Microeconomics 101 for the day. Test next Thursday. If you could buy yourself for what you're worth, and sell yourself for what you think you're worth, you'd be very wealthy. Finghanomics 101 for the day.
  14. Huh? I never put it up for sale...All you did was send me pms containing low-ball offers. As much as I'd love to have Rat Queens #1....
  15. Patience, young Jedi. Movie and TV hype pushes the Rule of 25 down, eats it lunch, and then berates it, Kevin76 style.
