    This is my favorite picture of myself!!! :gossip: that is not a reprint!!!

     

    What's the story?

     

    Is it yours?

     

    2011 Wizard World Chicago CGC Boardie dinner at Gibsons steak house. I walk in and introduce myself to the only two boardies there. CentaurMan strikes up a conversation with me and then asks if I want to see his Action #1? I say yes of course. Then he asked if my hands were clean? I did not understand why at first. He then begins to pull it out of the mylar!!!!!!! I got real nervous, I had a long island iced tea in front of me, I was in awe.

    I actually read the whole Superman story and flipped through the rest of the book.

     

    I do believe that is and always will be my most treasured memory about comic collecting.

  2. I lost every Sparkle City auction I bidded on yesterday. Should have bid just a little higher.

     

    There are never any guaranteed wins when it comes to SC's auctions...a high proportion of their books go for considerably over GPA.

     

    I have gotten lucky in the past. Most of the books I bid on have no GPA data or none recent in that grade..

    So I am assuming what market value is. Some books I was the under bidder, others I was off by almost 50%.
