I never read this but the covers are just marvelous. I may just go after these early Inhumans books, 5-10 of them would look awfully nice on the shelf there! Didn't Gil Kane do some of those covers?...I have become more and more enamored of the work of Gil Kane in the last few years. This one is by Ed Hannigan and Mike Esposito and is a great Black Bolt, innit?

well, I got my box a few minutes ago. Will post pictures shortly of some new slabs courtesy of a trade with Andre.

Exactly. What can you do. Slack wins.

I have been told that it is a default option on the online tracking system and not a direct lie by the postal carrier. But the clerk may just be covering for the carrier, who knows.

Well, I was supposed to get my 4 slabs from the trade with J today. Actually they were due Thursday or Friday. So it is a snowstorm in NJ, a really big one coming tonight, and when I got home just now...no mail. Okay, Chicken Little reigns in NJ today and everyone is ascared of the weather, so whatever. But when I check tracking it says 3 things, none of which are true. Package was attempted delivery at 2:44 pm, receptacle was blocked, and a notice was left. Well, my daughter was home at 2:44 pm. I took photos of the mailbox fully accessible, and have no notice anywhere. And 2 feet of snow expected tomorrow.

So I go to the post office post haste, but surprise surprise they are actually closed. So I clearly won't be getting my slabs tomorrow, the receptacle will definitely be blocked on Wednesday, etc. etc. etc.

So I will have to venture over there somehow tomorrow or Wednesday evening just before they close.

Mostly I am p.o.'ed about the slack mailman. But Bob Dobbs was right, slack wins because I can do nothing at this point but redirect the package and try and get it myself.

I am going to go to the Hasbrouk Heights comic book show today and maybe get a slab or two. Check out this Bob Fox guy I hear good things about, see what the Fox says. Gonna try and trade for some awesome gene Colan art but I have been shot down on that recently...maybe some Starman pages can pry it loose.

I have zero intention of buying slabs and then putting them in a box or stacking them out of sight. So when the area I have gets full I will either stop and marvel at my gains or sell a bunch off and upgrade. PIF them out if necessary even. I am really digging the ones I have though, that is why I got them! I have 6 on the shelf, 1 coming gratis from a boardie, two at comiclink waiting for auctions' end, and 4 in the mail from a trade for a Silvestri / Green Wolverine page. I figure I have room for about 20 easy and a few more if I get curtains to go over the blinds...darn slivers of direct light are eliminating a few spaces!

In that video I am going to make a strong offer, not the full price, on the Mignola you can kind of make out at Albert Moy's booth in the top left corner when they are interviewing people.

absolutely not hijacking! I enjoy people talking comics and comic art, no problem

chat all you like

The comic art con is great, but it will be overwhelming. It is mentally exhausting in my opinion. I can't wait.

You can get some non-Venom pages from the Venom comic for $50 from Anthony Snyder. Tell him Sean sent you!

I am here everyday and been on the forums for over 10 years and never entered that thread. Been giving things away to boardies for years as some can attest., If I see someone say they are looking for something I just send it to them. Next time I will do it in that thread. Might be a good way for me to see if there is any not too expensive OA since I want to get started in comic book OA. . Thanks for the alert on that thread.

Sure. C'mon over. I have about 8 pieces of cheaper OA set aside for that thread alone. The rules are on the first page and are fairly straight-forward. Older raw comics, newer comic runs, memorabilia, slabs, OA - you can find it all in PIF.

Four slabs in post office limbo. They were supposed to be here yesterday but no update since 5 am Thursday! After that I was going to say only one more on the way but I did just get two more through comiclink,including a $6 slab. Oh comiclink, bottom feeder heaven!

Yes it is got my first art piece fom them for a whopping $11 dollars, it was pretty funny since I saw the price written on the back for $30.

 

I just went through and bid on about 30 items. We shall see how I do. I usually do not do that but have some extra hobby cash right now and see some real bargains, mostly art-wise.

Hopefully you wont be putting that war chest up against anything I like last Clink auction you did bid me up on that Buscema Avengers page after all. But at least we both got one in that auction.

 

HA! Those were darn fine Kang pages. each with a tremendous close-up. I thought I was lucky to get mine a bit cheaper than yours. You got Kang origin if I recall correctly, so that is sweet.

 

Okay, now I know who you are David! Hello.

Hello, Bird or should I say Sean!

Nice to know the other page is also in NJ, if your going to the Artcon in March, I'll bring the page with me, and you can bring yours, it would be nice to see it in person.

Sure, that would be fine. I plan on really working the room and would love to take some time and chat.

Hey, anyone who just happens to wander in here is encouraged to check out the Pay It Forward thread. It has been slow lately in there, but that thread has rejuvenated my participation on the boards and I have met some nice people ni there and had a ton of fun. Not to mention I got a nice X-men slab, two pieces of OA and gave away some cool comics, including a cool Ray Bradbury signed set of books. Check it out, and if you used to do it but have stopped,please look in and maybe get back involved. We need more good will in there and in the world in general. And there has not been a cross word in there since I started two months or so ago.

I made some valiant attempts. The Batman one, maybe a JLA cover? I gave up after missing that weather hint. I feel like Robin waiting for Batman and the Bat-Computer to tell me the Riddler's next move.
