    I'll take the Jackie Jokers please.

    Four colostomies.

    Picked up a very nice copy of Amazing Adventures #34 from Jimbo's recent sales thread. Great price, easy communication, shipped promptly and well packaged. Slab arrived in perfect condition & happy to finally have this book!

    I'm fine with 5% to account for shrink, but going back 5 or 10 years how would one arrive at a ballpark figure that included subs, newsstand, or any foreign distribution?
  5. steveinthecity
    Just curious where the 5% number comes from? I've been wondering about certain print runs(particularly Archie) for several years now. Mostly to better understand the smaller publishers business models and how to best guesstimate total copies printed vs. sell through.

    A batch of books from another Skypinkblu sales thread arrived today. Well packed, shipped quick as a wink, and another easy-peasy transaction is in the books. Got another couple of freebies, too! Awesome seller to deal with!

    The miscut likely kept it from being 9.8.

    Are you asking for help in identifying this particular pie slice?

    I appreciate hearing the perspective from someone who was buying these as they came out. I think the availability(or abundance) of the MJ's were greater at one point than people now believe. Without having any real numbers pertaining to how many MJ copies were printed or collectively how many were sold through military channels it's just something I find interesting to speculate on.

    Purchased a handful of books from Azkaban's recent sales thread. Great communication, books were safely packaged, shipped promptly, and in nice shape. E-Z transaction and I'd do it again. Thanks Azkaban!

    While getting an extra sister(free) might have appeal for some, it does limit bride candidates to those already in country, working, and with no significant health issues. Coming from overseas the costs associated with food, housing, English lessons, etc. for the sister could be an unwelcome and long term financial burden.

    If available, Archie's Roller Coaster and Archie At Riverdale High #13. I can imagine that restaurant/bar you posted will be filled to the rafters tomorrow with optimistic fans after being 3-0 in pre-season and heading into New England.

    The cover date is June 1974, so you possibly had that issue for a year at that point. That's a really cool photo and piece of personal memorabilia. Thanks for sharing this.

    If by chance there's any newer folks to the comics hobby that don't know what this ad looked like: The 9.4 Savannah copy of Flash #147 back cover courtesy of Hakes Auctions.

    Picked up some fun books from two recent sales threads. Very secure packaging, prompt shipping, and excellent communication made this an all around pleasant transaction. Even had some freebies included!

    A team-up with her and Arm Fall Off Boy would be cool. If the bad guys were using Metropolis City Hospital as a front or home base to plot their evil schemes, those two could use their "powers" to go undercover as patients.

    Huh. I figured you'd have a cat with a name similar to Poster Nutbag. A cat would keep any birds away and if you lose interest in the cat, the raccoons would surely eat it.

    Rules might vary state to state, but in general as long as the bottles are empty and capped you shouldn't have a problem. If it's just worry about what Sanitation workers are going to think, just put out one container each week and recycle a couple yourself into a bird house or kitty litter scoop or something.

    Welcome back.
  23. steveinthecity
    I noticed the same shelf, but was drawn in by the birdhouse next to the picture frame. There's a lot of interesting items in that display.

    Areas of the boards aren't necessarily visible or accessible to someone not logged in. Edit: A good example is the VCC going on currently. A potential buyer needs to be logged in as a member. Secret Admirer?

    Picked up a couple SA war books from DavidtheDavid's most recent sales thread. Great communication, shipped promptly and packaged securely, books met every expectation. Would happily deal with him again.
