  1. Star Spangled #218 Unknown Soldier #230, 231 Weird War #54 Please add to the others.
  2. Never saw those! Closest thing to a "music" comic book when I was a kid was Marvel Premiere #50 (Alice Cooper).
  3. As an aside, I prefer a clear top coat for my fingernails. No muss, no fuss trying to coordinate accessories or clothing to a nail color.
  4. I'm a big fan of WW covers. I think the recurring themes of her being with giants or next to/above water are interesting.
  5. It's not the art itself, but that it's used as a cover. You've got 2/3rds of ROM posing, looking down at the viewer, and no background. Compare this to Hulk Annual #12 published right around the same time, same design, but Hulk tells more of a story IMO. Maybe my expectations are heightened due to it being a "special" annual issue. Maybe someday Liefeld will draw an issue of ROM.
  6. I'm a huge Bill S. fan, but this looks like he got a last minute call to submit cover art within the hour and the editors had to go with it. I'm really on the fence as to whether or not posting this image made CG better. The ROM in the little price box would've made a far better cover.
  7. Why should anyone care where anyone else posts? Anyhoo, let me go find some threads that are more comics, less general.
  8. As a comic book fan and collector, I'd love to know what the "huge problem" is. Biggest concern I have is prices on the older issues I'd like to have.
  9. You don't want all 19? Unless it was cost prohibitive I couldn't stop just 6 shy.
  10. You like how any thread can be poofed or any member banned?
  11. My concern isn't so much anyone's common sense or doing due diligence as a buyer or seller, but the inconsistency of the label. With these the label color becomes purposeless.
  12. Just received a box of books from Skypinkblu. Packed well, as described, and a couple freebies tossed in as well. The purple bubble wrap was the cherry on top.
  13. If the board software supports it, I think they should periodically reset everyone's post count to zero and just below the "joined" date show total accumulated posts as a legacy number.
  14. Holy ! Galaga, Defenders, etc., etc. Only missing Plieades. Guess I've gotta go buy an Atari console. PM's encouraged!
  15. Was this a follow up to the Midway Arcade Classics made years ago for PS2, XBox, etc? That's got so many cool games it's worth getting an old console just to play that collection.
  16. As long as they're entertaining themselves, I'm fine letting them sit back there. The rest of us are outside bartering and negotiating for whatever we believe the comic to be "worth". Of course we're probably using the old guy's numbers as a starting point, but that's a perk of being an old guy. The old guy's are given the benefit of the doubt for wisdom they've presumably acquired over the years.
  17. CGC will assign(attach, attribute?) a value based on the market price for a book, but they don't decide/set that market price(value).
