Your stuff. I could use a smile. I am going to go visit the Pokemon threads.

I agree.

21 was higher even when I had GPA

You are like... 82. You should do that now before you are no longer involved in the decision as to where it goes.

I wasn't outbidding that $12,886 bid. That was more than just a little insane for that. The money from the vintage stuff went toward home improvements. To be honest. I am also starting to reevaluate. I might start selling things off in the next year or two through Comic Connect or Comic Link. This year I am trying to sell off bulk. I actually was pleased to see two empty short boxes after my last round of sales and an empty rubbermaid container that used to be filled with older loose and unopened lego sets. While I was interested in that Joe page on Comic Connect I did not even participate in this months ComicLink auction. There are too many containers and things left and as I get older I have no idea what to do with it all especially as people are throwing money at things that I know they want. There are other reasons as well.

Indeed. Strange considering that in the last year and a half, I have sold off: The majority of my raw GI Joe comics The majority of my vintage figures The majority of my modern figures. The majority of Kre-o - (Hasbro Lego type stuff) The only thing I have kept and will not sell is the artwork, Hama sketches, Hama Yellow label slabs and my GI Joe CGC 1.

G.I Joe 21 in a 9.8 has commanded more over the last couple of decades than a copy of G.I. Joe 1 in 9.8 Go Collect (I did not renew my GPA subscription) reports #21 at $2800 and #1 at $2000.

Transformers 1 (Marvel Series) (Last issue has a bump but not to the level of Issue 1) Magnus Robot Fighter (Gold Key) Solar Man of the Atom (Gold Key) Action Comics comes to mind given the proportion of the gap between issue one and subsequent issues regardless of how valuable subsequent issues may be.

I have noticed it’s been prevalent with Comics that have black covers like Solar 10 or it is far more noticeable because of the black covers.

The Card area strikes again. Kryptonite chugs ahead with a two point lead breaking the tie for first place. PaulS. enters the field gaining those coveted moderator points and poses a credible thread to Dena's position based on the division he is playing in. The Pokemon division seems to be all the rage lately. Meanwhile, @thunsicker's slump continues while some of the veterans have yet to score. Fingh? Greggy?

@PaulS. From time to time, do the other employees of CGC poke fun at you for having to deal with all this nonsense but then leave you a bottle of scotch on your desk as a consolation and acknowledgement of what you go through? Will you be coming over to the comic side of things? We are a different brand of crazy but a far more enjoyable brand of crazy.

This is the set that Lego purposely overpriced because they knew it was either spend the $40, wait for the sale... or miss it and wind up paying $100 just to get the Ahsoka figure. I also picked it up when I saw it on sale specifically for Ahsoka. It's a nice looking set on its own though. Double points supposedly soon btw. That's when I will pick up the police station.

I miss David Chang momofuku Korean spicy chicken sandwiches before Phish shows at MSG...

What was your reasoning for six finger Spider-Man to explain the error ?

Just because people scam you on eBay and send you empty envelopes doesn’t mean they are giving you “no prizes.” okay... tell us the no prize story

You might be very right as to that being a cause of the drive up in prices. I was asked to watch a comic collecting show in twitch a little while back. The guys on the show were quoting results for high grade marvel keys and then showing a 5.5 from their person collection or a raw copy. The comment section was eating it up. I pointed out what they were doing and they stammered and worked around their words. To use an example of a current result as I forget the specific data on the book I called them out on. Let's say they quote a hammer price of ASM 300 in 9.8 at $5,000. Then they would hold up either a raw copy or a 9.2 and say that this book "could" be worth that. Now you have people going bonkers that any ASM 300 could be worth that and buy into the hype. Is it driving up pricing? You might be on to something there. I figured that no one really pays attention to these guys but they seem to have an audience cheering them on. I guess that audience is supporting the price increase.

I see things like this and I get closer and closer to selling off every vintage figure I have. I have straight arm Snake Eyes, more swivel Scarletts, Snake Eyes v1.5 and more.. perfectly white Storm shadow... these keep going up and up and I am reaching the point where I wonder if it is time to sell. Unlike comics, it is not about selling before the bubble pops but before plastic itself does.

They've got spunk !

Don't forget that Merced, California is the new Phil's Parking lot.

Has anyone introduced you to Pokemon section of the boards? It makes everything in comics general seem like polite society. You should at least lurk. They are focused on some 'interesting' things. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/97-cgc-trading-cards/
