And

Bought many books and had many dealings on these boards. So many to thank, but just can’t list them all. So these are the 2 I had the most transactions with @crassus @jimjum12 Either of you 2 can claim these for shipping only if interested. Thanks to all, Bill

So I 100% done with comics. Sold it all and tossed the short boxes. Just some Mylar left. 2 unopened packs of 2 mil #800 gold, and 4 mil #775 Silver/Gold. A stack of 2mil and 4 mil, in the silver/Gold range. Mostly unused, about 60 or 70 loose. Then a small stack of fullbacks #750 Looking for $50 shipped US or $40 local pick up in Roseville CA area only. Paypal or Check No returns

Looks like the seller is out nothing $10 best offer Looks like 'best offer accepted. Who lowballs this book at a $10 bin? Glad the seller did not make his killing.

Ha! Saw that on eBay and cross referenced to MCS site. Was considering it when it disappeared. Sorry it was an error, sure looked like a good deal.

A guy who started one of the longest threads ever went to jail. He was a piece of work. So feel free to rant, the world moves as it will without you.

Prayers to Jimbo for a speedy recovery. One the board’s finest gentlemen.

Yep Crossed the country and enjoyed the trip.

Yes And I did what you won’t do I rented the truck and did it myself. If you have valuable books, best to do it yourself If you have boxes of mostly middling books. Sell them. If you hire someone, plan on loss/damage/theft. And to over-pay Divide the cost of moving per book. Are the books worth the added cost?

Silvonze ….., sort of like Bropper, in the neighborhood

Some recent Bronze pick ups

Couple of recent pick ups. The middle book in the Marvel 3 pack looks like Jungle Action (#17?) As I post this I am seeing an artifact, checked the Avengers and there is no crease

Yeah pretty much a bad copy of Wimpy.

Comics vs cards is like boxing vs Football Cards and the NFL want the product viewed/sold everywhere at every price point. Comics and Boxing want to squeeze every dime at every sale and are very exclusive with Direct sales and pay per view on every unit/ big fight. The exclusivity and maxing out each individual sale over time simply kills the golden goose. Fewer fans give a krap about boxing any more and Comics are circling the drain. Meanwhile the NFL keeps drawing more interest by always having games available on free TV. And cards can be found in all the places comics abandoned years ago.

So Wolverines first appearance was an ad page in DD #115? So if these fools have money let me sell you some Krap…. Err investment opportunity! I’ll play along, the 35 cent variants printed first, so Godzilla #1 35 cent variant. Send me all your bit coin and it can be yours!!!

He must have a large swath of employees. How well does he pay them? He gets kudos if he is good employer. But he must be low-balling his graders or paying piecemeal because they suck.

Census numbers are always difficult. This is probably the #1 CPR book. Most of those 9.0-9.6 books were squeezed out of existence. And the “9.9” is an 8.5 with real soft corners , but it has that ‘dreamy’ 9.9 label. Anyone buying that should just buy a label and a raw VF and save themselves a lot money

I only knew him from board interactions. We were not always 100% in agreement, but he was always polite and his resolve showed his passion for the hobby. We all will feel the loss as the hobby lost one of its most passionate knowledgable and well spoken advocates

How close are you? Hope you post the group shot when you get there!

As far as I am concerned most every book is signed somewhere in the art. Marking it up with a sharpie is not needed imho. Most of the time they are for resale, so it’s not like I waited in line and shook someone’s hand. The exception to me would be a cast signed book. A book signed by the late great ‘sir’ Alec Guinness I would pay extra for. Having “Stan Lee” scribbled in sharpie on the cover would mean no more to me than the printed signature in Stan Lee’s soapbox. In fact I would pay only the ‘qualified price. They are after-all a glorified GLOD.

It doesn’t do anything for me, but I am sure it helps. The only exception would be a ‘single highest grade’ copy. That would seem like an unnecessary redundancy.

Nothing ASM bronze js hard to get. If you have the money any book is available in ample supply. If you are really anal and break it down into variants, then you might run into problems. But other than that, this has to be the easiest high grade run in existence

What about $39.99 for the 5.0! I posted about it last page. Seen a few and had a few that CGC did not mark as ‘price variant’
