  1. They have a chat feature and I wrote the following I just wanted to point out that the kiosk Canvas Studio is selling works that they do not hold copyright to and hope that the Mall of America can takes steps to protect the copyrights that are being exploited by one of their vendors. Unless of course the MoA condones this behavior? I didn't stay to chat though. Go get them Alex!
  2. I sold a 146 yesterday or the day before for 18 + s/h
  3. Well who knows how many he subbed but I’m saying that he was smart enough to pick out the 9.8s
  4. We did an easy transaction without problems. thanks again!
  5. I should clarify, yes obviously different sizes tell you something. But being the same size as the GA book tells you nothing as the distinguishing features in that reprint are not the size.
  6. Yeah, I met two guys last week and sold $85 of comics to them. They drove 30-45 minutes for it! I also have some people asking about coming by the house but I meet them somewhere public instead.
  7. And the best way to defeat Galactus is also the best way to defeat Thanos, logic and reason.
  8. This is a great story and twist but it would anger me to no end if it really happens. You have to have something in the movie that points to the possibility of such a move, and nothing in Infinity War pointed in this direction. Just like the old line that says if you show a gun in the first act you should use it in the third act, you cannot have a gun just pop up in the third act out of nowhere. This isn't an amateur arthouse production, basic rules of filmmaking have to be respected (as they generally have been so far in the MU movies).
  9. I consider SS4 the best superhero cover. EVAH! But I don't find a lot of JB work that thrills me other than that. I think his standing is also hurt by those all those Conan prelims and the Stan Lee anecdotes about JB being someone who didn't like drawing comics. That stuff seeps in and crowds out objective analysis sometimes. But when he was on he was a contender!
  10. I was holding some comics for a guy who was going to pay Friday. Messaged me today that he cannot buy them as he and the wife and splitting up and he is now selling his collection off! I believe him, sad story it seems but he'll be better off in the end I guess. I continue to have tons of tire-kickers but sales are still fairly steady, so any sales count as a win for me.
  11. I am looking at a massive sale probably at the end of the month. Books are piling up around here as I have mostly stopped listing on ebay due to being so busy at home (and their fees are bugging me a lot for some reason). Tons of groovy stuff, not sure if it will be one massive sale in mixed or two sales in the two main forums. But lots of oddballs and fun covers and the like with a bunch of hotter books or minor keys. These will be priced to move as I want to get going for some Mignola OA when he comes to the Comic Art Expo at the end of April. Also will have leftovers in the VCC. I will try to do some coming attractions type posts with pictures as well before the real thing hits the last week of the month. I have also been raiding a local shop 50 cent/$1 bins and will have a ton of $1 comics at the next VCC which is April 2 and 3 (IIRC). EVERYONE SHOULD SUPPORT THE VCC!
  12. I didn't know we were showing pictures. Most of these Mighty Midget Captain Marvel Jrs have bad wraps with the top of the cover showing the bottom of the previous cover, or something like that. This one doesn't but I really didn't want the other 3 as I only love captain marvel Jr really., But then again they are all signed on the cover by the OO (I assume) and that makes them more groovy baby! So, yeah, I got these.
  13. I’m saying that it really doesn’t matter what ever they want to do is fine with his new cast some character skip around some character stay the same it doesn’t really seem to matter
  14. They could just ignore the old cast. How many Colossus' have we seen? Mystique? Sabretooth? Beast? Nightcrawler? Storm? (Wow, most of them it looks like!) Just skip Wolverine as he is the only one all over the screen.
  15. The gambler's fallacy is the belief that the chances of something happening with a fixed probability become higher or lower as the process is repeated. People who commit the gambler's fallacy believe that past events affect the probability of something happening in the future
  16. I love that scene...Harland Williams cracks me up almost every time. (Soroity Boys, no cracking up but then again I haven't seen it all. Maybe he has a brilliant scene but...)
  17. Momoa brought my wife and 19 year old daughter to his fan base from GoT, so it is much more than just the character that accounts for the popularity of any given movie. He brings something of a cool, tough guy vibe to the movie that none of the Peter Parker's will ever possess. (I looove Tom Holland as Peter but he is much more geek than badazz.)
  18. I didn't look at today's coupon terms but you can usually use it on more than one item if you put them in your cart and pay all at once. I bought a Mighty Midget set of 4 for $85 pre-coupon; I had offered $80 last week and he declined but I didn't go for his $85 counter. the coupon made that difference go away essentially.
  19. I wonder why the want to push use of the app and not the PC. Any ideas? Just to start a habit perhaps? I also sold a book that has gone unsold in the past. I relisted it this morning and sold a few hours later. $30 but that is $30 all profit!
