Hello, guess I missed this when I signed up, the say hello but. Sure there's a treasure trove of info here, I'm on my way to soak it up. Good to be here. I will see my way out😁

So I'm wondering, what's the deal if I choose to have the slab signed instead of the book? Obv I wouldn't be selling, intent would be just keeping, trying to look at pros and cons here... Thoughts?

Question, so I procured a couple new modern comics at my lcs. They are and look absolutely mint, under scrutiny, however, I did not open them and flip thru pages. I inspected under light and bl. Looks virtually untouched. If I buy a book in this condition, would it make sense to clean and press? I'm thinking of sending them in in this condition, without cleaning and pressing. My thoughts are,, if it is mint, just handling it more has the absolute potential to lessen the quality through handling. And being serviced. Thoughts and advice please? (I also do not want to dig it out just to take pics, please imagine I'm your head, perfect condition, lol)

Not a fortune, but fortunate for me. Loved this book as soon as I saw it.

I always wondered why someone didn't just toss a grenade under her force field 'bowl'. Just sayin

Grabbed this one today😁

Definitely, small but effective flashlight, blacklight, sterile gloves are three of the tools I use.

With Ai now clearly responsible for watering down the Art world, specifically with Batman and Wonder Woman, Shazam and I believe PowerGirl, what's next? One of the most confounding results is that Ai generated art can not be copyrighted.© SO take those images, make yourself a bunch of prints and selling them on eBay will apparently be allowed. Values of these books, or I should say, any comic book created by Ai should be de-valued and or destroyed. Just my opinion. And how can we be certain that the art is Ai generated? Well, from Ai. Apparently knows it's work. Thoughts? (all just mho)

Well I saw this coming a mile away... https://www.cbr.com/dc-pulls-covers-generative-ai-art-suspected/

Just curious, are you using a small penlight or flashlight to critique? May be a silly question, but I'm just wondering.

Whoa, $280 what? I don't think I paid that for my elite, how long before they charge that fee? Or am I obligated to that?

Guess that makes me an obvious new guy😔

Hey, sorry, I'm pretty new, and I'm trying to learn from those that clearly know far more than I. I hope the questions don't bother you, soooo, what is the 'BA' horror area, and especially HG DC material. Pretty sure I'm knowing on the DC😏- just curious about the rest. I know there is a horror niche, and I've been reading about comics of war making a move too. My collection at this point is small and wide variety, but not many silver or golds. Started chewing on spec books and have been doing ok, and I'm learning a lot here. Thanks for letting me babble.

I upgraded to the next level above free, and one of the percs says it provides a free shipping kit. Where do I find this? Thank you everyone, glad to be here.
