Saw it and liked it. 

Where the hell did you get these high grade beauties?? 

Any action on any Star Wars books related to the Ahsoka show?

And little crab people 

I thought they looked more like turtles.

There was a huge store in NYC that had no prices. Cosmic comics? I forget. I don't know why I even bothered. I brought my stuff up to the register and they started quoting me the highest ebay prices they could find. Needless to say, they closed, though likely for other reasons. On the other hand, Roger's Time Machine usually didn't have prices either. He would price them at the register, but he wouldn't look them up online (maybe look at guide on some expensive books and discount accordingly), he'd just go by his gut. I don't have an issue with that. I'm not finding his treasure for him.

 

Cosmic Comics was on 23rd street on the second floor across the street from Madison Park. Or was it Jim Hanley's universe on 33rd street?

Hmmm…..might be time to list my raw New 52 Batman 1 newsstands and other issues at stupidly high prices to see what type of offers they fetch.

Combo Paks as well as they should be harder to find.

Combo Paks are the shizzle.

Thats a whopper.  MTU #82, $960.01       MARVEL TEAM-UP #82 - CGC 9.8 WHITE PAGES - NEWSSTAND - SPIDER-MAN & BLACK WIDOW | eBay

I remember buying this issue of the newsstands and I still have it. Although, I highly doubt it's still in HG.

What are people’s thoughts on this sale?

 

I have to admit, I am a bit surprised. Although, I was selling certain 9.8 newsies for up a 1K years ago to private collectors.

Found this at antique store today no idea on the age, my guess would be 60's?

It looks like Batman is riddled with bullet holes.

My (ex)wife and I were at his San Francisco show in 2011(?).  I left the show at the encore to get near front of line for the "leaving" signing he was going to do.  Before he came out, they announced "Hugh will sign one item and the Playbill but will not pose for photos" -- my wife desperately wanted a photo.  As he came to us (we were maybe the 5th or 6th person), he'd already said NO to two photo requests -- so he got to us and (I'm Australian) I asked "hey mate, any way for a pic with my wife - we're all the way from Tasmania...".   He gave me an eye roll look and a smile "okay - real quick - Tassie is pretty far away".   As the photo was taken, the crowd started to stir up, so he announced "no - they were from Tasmania!" -- then some woman way in the back screamed "I'm from Darwin!!", so he called her up, took a few pictures with a few others and then called security in to calm the rush.  So, Hugh will always be a top pick for me when it comes to "cool celebs".  --- But he's testing my patience with this friggin' cgc signing....

In NYC he was only signing Playbills, that's why I was lucky that he signed my Uncanny X-men #140. 

There was a Uncanny X-men #268 CGC 9.8 newsie that sold for around $1,400 on feebay a couple of months ago. Another iconic Jim Lee cover.

Saw it a couple of days ago with kids and we really enjoyed it. It was a fun movie. 

You also might want to reach out Very Gary Comics on You Tube. He's always buying up collections.

I finally watch the video. I take offense to his  using a photo of High Grade Comics as an example of an overpriced dealer. At the last NYCC, Bob sold me a copy of OAAW 83 and couple of early Showcases at an attractive price. And that was the first time I ever met Bob.

this sticky goose has lost credibility with me.

Maybe that day you met Good Bob  Not Bad Bob. 

I met Hugh Jackman 3 times here in NYC before and after his broadway shows. He signed for me on two different occasions on 2 different X-men  & Old Man Logan books. The first time he gave me his autograph, he told me If I told anyone he was gonna kill me.

I found this at the DollarTree of all places today. It says first print and has IDW insides, but it is distributed through Peachtree Playthings. Anyone have knowledge on this one? 

Was it a dollar? 

That's a direct edition.  CGC mislabeled it.

I guess no one liked the final episode.  I thought it was ...

Found a nice stack of post-2000 newsies at the flea this morning, about 33 issues, Marvel, DC, some Bongo and Dark Horse Star Wars, including some tougher DC newsies like Cartoon Network Block Party, Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo Where are you issues.

 

 

Condition?

I tried to stop by there last year but the store wasn’t open even though it was well beyond opening hours. I tried calling the business number and only got voicemail. Was really hoping to go, but they may keep erratic hours. 

Same thing happened to me a few times I was in the neighborhood, I decided to stop by and it was closed.  It's usually hit and miss.

Hey @Get Marwood & I and gang,

July 21 (which it already is across the pond) marks the fifth year of us posting about Ross Andru and the Amazing Spider-Man comics we loved as kids.  I just wanted everyone to know that I have enjoined the last five years chatting with all of you.  

Steve started this thread originally as an ode to ASM 176 through 180, but we quickly expended it to include Ross's entire run on the series.  I admit I have even snuck in other interesting, non-Spider-Man art as well.

  Here's looking at another five years!  

One of my favorite threads.

About 25 on the CGC Census... you'd think the first Boba Fett cover would have more than that. 

This pre-dates Star Wars #42 12/80 for first appearance of Fett.
