    Was in my local store last night.They are doing a complete store reset.Can't find anything and it's not due to be finished till june.They have 3 big isles of clearance items,mostly toys.I've checked the comic spot everytime I go in and still 3 full rows.Last night they had hit the card section and tightened it up and no comics.I checked the clearance isles and no comics.Wonder if they will reduce them or return them to the distributer ?

    Went back in yesterday & found the comics.One row of Marvel & one DC.Guess they had them in the back.

    Side question.Have these run their course? If you have them is it better to keep them unopened or see what's inside? If they reduce the ones they have now I may snatch them up.Last year I scored a bunch of the model kits they had reduced to $5 each.Sweet!

    Disagree. The 10 point grading scale makes no sense if 9.8 is the highest. FWIW, I think that it would have been much more consistent to have 9.0, 9.5 and 10.0 - where 9.0 includes today's 9.2, 9.5 = 9.4 and 9.6 and 10.0 = 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0 (And get rid of 1.8 while we're at it.)

    Of course, there's less money in the whole business of grading if you do that, which is why they don't.

    Been hoarding DS covers for years.Multiple copies on many.

    Regarding art Adams & Adam Hughes.Art Adams is fantastic in his own right.I loved his Longshot and work he did for ABC,BUT,he can't hold a candle to Dave.Dave is a legand.His second creation(after Aurora),made it to the big screen.

    AH is the currenmt GGA master and I have been getting a lot of his covers.Older works were much better but he can still knock it out of the park.

    Scott Campbell? He did some mighty fine work early on but some of the recent stuff just makes my eyes hurt.

    Dave is quickly rising to the top ranks of comic book artists.But.like who you want.
