  1. Please add me on the list too. Board Name = JollyComics eBay = mjsjes2jzd2 Many thanks!
  2. Oh bummer. I just sold my ASM Civil War issues two months ago but I still have ASM #529 1st Iron Spidey. Funny thing is that issue was unsold and re-listed for the third time in three weeks. I had ZERO watcher in those weeks. All of the sudden, I have 9 watchers on my book that hasn't bid. I saw the announcement was made on February 9th and I am now understood why my book is now targeted. You can PM me. I will direct you to the right thread.
  3. Thank you HarveySwick. I may pursue the second copy. Wait and see but I have at least one copy! It is always excellent to be part of it.
  4. Count me in! I just got it off MSC last month.
  5. The years of 1977-79 are my highlighted times in my life. I was 12-14 years old by that time included early Atari and first Star Wars movie. I was surrounded by four LCS, Woolworth, Ben Franklin, 7-11, White Pantry and Walgreens within the walking distance. If I missed the issue, I could use my alternative place to get the issue without missing the rhythm. I loved my moments when I read them while I walked home.
  6. This is first time to do it. Please add two bidders/buyers on the blocked user list: doingitright2010 - No response to few emails, opened case for one week, one more email (I tried to warn the buyer before closing the case) and still no response. I finally closed the case two days later. One day later, he flipped me off with profanity. Finally I got first response and explained. He still pissed me off with other profanity. I blocked him out. sidetracked77 - Unresponsive. I closed the case for the unpaid item. He came back to bid my same book. I removed his bid then blocked him out. He changed his ID. I forgot his first ID name.
  7. No newsstands Oh man! I sold them away too long time ago. Congrats on your instinct that Gambit will be in a movie. You got it!
  8. Anyone who climbed on Jacob's ladder fell off when you decided to quit reading UXM. To anyone still read that will go on on the ladder to the heaven.
  9. It looked like the combination of Swamp Thing and Cry for Dawn.
  10. How did I end up here? I blamed upon Watchmen movie for bringing me back to the comic book world and HERE! I got hooked ever since.
  11. Before the announcement of Deadpool being in the TV show, most NM raw copies were sold in the range of $35 to $60. Now, it gets expensive. Why not you grab those raw copies of ASM #361?
  12. Hamlet flipped every page and said, "Words, words, words." He didn't get anything after his father died but his uncle took the kingdom. Russ Heath did all the works. Liechtenstein swiped his panel and got recognized. Russ got nothing and Roy took his glory.
  13. What simple logo did she create that sold for over a million dollars? My wife corrected me. She did the photograph for Sam's Club. Her company got the account with Sam's Club that went over 4-6 million dollars. She didn't get the credit. She is no longer with the company. Four founders sold the company to Flower's Baskets for over $50 million dollars. It always sucks when you did something and got nothing. Sweat, blood and exhaust for nothing.
  14. We have learned from many lessons. My wife who was the graphic designer created one simple logo that went selling over 1 million dollar. She got nothing but paychecks. That panel became DC's property so Russ Heath got nothing but the paychecks. DC didn't do anything about Lichtenstein's painting. The painting was done in 1963. Ever since, no one ever mentioned about the possibly lawsuit. Quoted from Whaam! - Wiki: Critics have raised concerns over Lichtenstein's appropriation, in that he directly references imagery from other sources in Whaam! and other works of the period. Some have denigrated it as mere copying, to which others have countered that Lichtenstein altered his sources in significant, creative ways. In response to claims of plagiarism, the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation has noted that publishers have never sued for copyright infringement, and that they never raised the issue when Lichtenstein's comics-derived work first gained attention in the 1960s. Other criticism centers on Lichtenstein's failure to credit the original artists of his sources; Ernesto Priego implicates National Periodicals in the case of Whaam!, as the artists were never credited in the original comic books. That is how the business does.
  15. Damn! I won't have the office in 12 or 13 more years until my both kids are in college.
  16. My books are piled up big and bigger....waiting for the time turnarounds gets faster.
  17. Sorry, let me clarify. Yes, I agree he's been popular for a long time...consistently popular. I was a big fan when the issue originally hit the shelves. But "blew up"...$400 to $1,000, a new post about NM98 popping up every other day, comparing NM98 to IH 181, etc....all within the past few months. This is not a valid comparison. Look at the census numbers for NM 98. Almost a little over HALF of all submitted are in 9.6 or better. These prices have to be unsustainable over the long term. I could be wrong, but I hope not as this does not paint a healthy picture for the vinatge comic book market as a whole. There is nothing wrong with steadily increasing prices, but here is the issue: there is a direct coorelation between movie announcements and speculation. It has never been this bad before. There is also a direct correlation between the number of copies that exist and the number of people who own those copies who will tell newbies it is valuable, (thumbs u Speculation at its finest. Then when the book falls in price and these speculators have moved on to their next loss...er, 'golden conquest' (at least in their eyes); these same individuals will be here telling these people that "you should buy books you enjoy and not for investment purposes." Ironically if they did that from the start they would have an AWESOME collection and would NOT be paying four figures for a common as day 90's key. The Deadpool looks ugly without the mask. I am in a great shape and don't mind to wear the mask to conceal my thin grey hair. I definitely look cool in that costume. I remembered there were about five LCSs in my hometown in about five mile radius in early 1970's. There were many local drugstores too. There were too many 70's comic books. I didn't bother to buy them (actually I didn't have money by that time). Now, 70's comic books are 40 years old and the prices have gone through the ceiling. I am sure that 90's comic books will be turned 40 by 2030 (oh boy I will be an old man). Always wondered what was the value for Hulk 181 in 1984 and 1994 before the millennium?
  18. I still can't believe people do this. Believe it. We wouldn't have this thread if people weren't people. I dunno what it's going to take for people to change into decent humans, but hope is all we got. And not taking scammers BS. Classic screwups. Few times, I asked them immediately after they won my items when I saw their feedbacks were ZERO. One of them didn't have the credit card or PayPal. I sent my request to cancel the transaction. The winner ultimately agreed to cancel it. THAT is the example of the classic screwup. I closed two more cases: they never relied or paid so they got strikes. One with zero and other with 150+. I see more weird going on eBay lately.
