  1. Before this gets too out of hand, I'll point out that this part of the discussion wouldn't be happening if your first reply to TwoPiece did not start with, "That might be the most ridiculous response I have ever heard in my life." Otherwise it was fine. Disagree and explain why. No need to grade an opinion in such a way. Or ignore
  2. I collect comics I want, and there a many comics on my want list. Since I can't get them all at once, I naturally have to prioritize what I get and when. If speculation starts driving the prices on one of those "back burner" book, I'll buy it before it reaches ridiculous levels I'm unwilling to acknowledge.
  3. Not sure if this preview of Major X Judge Dredd counts.
  4. Those were the good old days. I'll never understand the need to know what's going to happen (or any other info) before paying money to read/see it.
  5. No, I'd only slab my books if I planned to sell them. I was trying to establish if I was properly valuing it for insurance records. It is kinda risky, but since I collect rather than build stock, I'm okay with it. The joy I feel in its growth is due to the fact that I don't have to pay today's asking prices for a book I want
  6. 7.0-7.5 is what I've been calling it. Thanks, people Other bidders seemed to shy away from this one (Feb, last year), and the seller seemed to feel the same way, but honored the sale all the same.
  7. Hoping some here may have some experience as to how this type of cover (only) damage is graded?
  8. I find it easier on the eyes. My eye's anyway. Glad they chose white for the 1st appearance in ASM #252.
  9. You're all wrong. The artwork is the first appearance the moment someone other than the artist sees it j/k If a claim can be made that the official 1st appearance of a character can take place outside of a comic book story, then where can those claims end?
  10. I keep stressing to Mike Royer, as he prepares for upcoming conventions, that anything Eternals and Fourth World (and even Machine Man) he can get into his Pin-Up Portfolios will be sure to sell.
  11. Thanks I somehow missed this one. It's one of the few I didn't sell off. I wasn't that "stupid".
  12. I've been working on rebuilding my JIM/Thor collection since I sold off much of what I had The good news is I'm in a better position now to replace them with better copies. The bad news; with moderate home repairs and a car purchase, I have to halt any more purchases for now. If I don't stop, my wife may suggest I sell some comics. These aren't all recent, but many are.
  13. I forgot to post this upgrade I found at a Sacramento con back in '15.
  14. Shoulda' paid the tree fiddy.
  15. $3.50 A South Park reference.
