  1. I do after a few days just to make sure it's going in the right direction, but the only part I 'love' is when I see "DELIVERED". Otherwise for me it's like waiting for the water to boil.
  2. Tom Sellic Tom Berenger Michael Bean (This is someone who should be in one- Great actor- and I don't think Terminator & Aliens rate as Super Hero- More Sci-Fi).
  3. The raw copy might already be posted.
  4. Umm... Okay, I knew this thread wasn't serious!
  5. For him to suggest "doing something different" after making Avatar is pretty funny.
  6. I'd have been just as satisfied if I waited for it to come to dvd, but I hate wading through the spoiler threats from everyone around me who has seen it. Larson's haircut barely put a dent in my opinion of the film. Not a fan of these creepy Stan "cameos". It feels cheap to me, like it's being done for the wrong reason (not saying that's the case). I DID love Starlin's cameo
  7. Not very many Silver in my collection because the title is lower on the priority list.
  8. WTF? Screw all of that. Thank Odin I don't need/want to sell.
  9. My completed goals are: AF15, ASM 1-375 (don't care for the title after that) Avengers 1-300 Kirby/Royer Original Art My Work In Progress: JIM/Thor 83-450 Making progress, but 83 will be difficult. Fantastic Four 1-400 I have most of the tough ones out of the way except #5 Captain America 100-200
  10. Just keep in mind that in 25 years people may not give a squat for comic books, unless they need the paper FOR a squat. So many things can happen in a world as messed up as this one. One small space rock can turn comics into kindling and toilet paper, or superheroes could simply be thought of as silly and so "25 years ago" As long as I limit myself to buying comics I want (usually SA & BA), I won't feel I've lost if the market tanks and my AF15 is nothing more than (beat up) eye candy.
  11. You're experiencing the same things most collectors experience in the early going. Imagination is a great word in this hobby, but usually when it's used in the production of a comic book. Be careful when applying it to "value".
  12. I'm afraid that isn't "rising above." You validated TwoPiece's reply with, "There is a combination of interest, nostalgia and financial speculation in all those purchases", then shoot it down by calling it "a poor opinion". But whether or not those comics bring financial gain depends on many things NOT universally common to everyone, such as how much you paid for them, and when you try to sell them. I purchased a Hulk 180 CGC 8.0 a few years ago about $80 over GPA, and it sat there for quite a while. I didn't care because I wanted it. Here we are today and clearly it's gone well beyond that '$80 over GPA' I spent, BUT if I had tried to sell it for a gain before the jump in value...
