  1. $40?! :o In my house, they're all twenty bucks! $25 with shipping! ;)

     

    My wife's best friend in High School had a relative who owned a comic book shop. So my wife and her friend would work at the shop part time for like 6 years (although I never went to that shop and I didnt meet my wife till about a year afte she no longer worked there). She had zero interest in comics then, and still has zero interest, but she does know the characters, obvious key issues and the general cost of much of the stuff pre-2000. So unfortunately I can't pretend the expensive stuff is cheap :(

     

    So when she sees the stuff I've bought I just take the eye rolling and/or death stares in stride lol

  2. And I love the other two as well. My wallet and wife don't though! lol

     

    I can definitely relate! Opening the front door to find a TALL pile of packages on the porch, or seeing the UPS and Fedex trucks pulling up to the house at the same time can earn me some hilarious WTF stares from my wife.

    I tell her that if it wasn't for her, I'd already have my very own episode of Hoarders - Buried Alive goin on.

     

  3. Nice! I've been on a meandering hunt for some of those (meaning, I start to look for them, but I wander off towards something "shiny" that catches my eye).

     

    Yep I know exactly what you mean! And now that I finally pulled the trigger (only took what, decades?) to get the GNs I wanted, It's more of a "start" than an "end". Next will be a magazine box, then magazine mylars and board. No way I can just leave that empty space in the box and have unused mylars and boards so now I gotta buy a bunch more GNs..... oh will the OCD insanity ever end?!

  4. I received several boxes from USPS that day. Only one was smashed and of course it turned out to be the FF28, by FAR the most expensive in the batch.

    I will be sending it to CGC soon and hoping it only needs re-holdering and not re-grading. :tonofbricks:

     

    On a positive note, just got these little Bronze gems just in time for Christmas!
