Buzzetta

Apparently Merced, California is the new home for Phil's Parking Lot. @Jeffro.

@F For Fake Ark is back up https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-titan-wfc-k30-autobot-ark-figure

@fantastic_four Legends scale Galactus was just teased / hinted at for the next Haslab project.

Interesting... Disney+ figures are being kept under wraps for now. I guess there is a spoiler in the Falcon and the Winter Solider assortment that they cannot show off. They made mention that the Wandavision pictures are out there.

Just saying the same Going to be good !

I might buy my first Marvel Legends figure if there is a Silver Surfer in this assortment.

2:15.... something tells me to be at my computer at 2:15.

What was the price point on the Ark? I am sure it will be restocked. If I see it on BBTS I will tag you in a post. I never got around to buying Omega Supreme. If I was going to buy a Titan Class figure... It would have to be Omega Supreme. I am definitely going to stay strong this year as I continue to downsize. Gotta stay focused !

While I am disappointed in the GI Joe stuff, again, I have to say, Hasbro is definitely demonstrating right now why going to SDCC to see things like this are going to become a thing of the past. They have really stepped up their game since last year. I am very serious. If I cannot get my usual free or heavily discounted passes to NYCC, I no longer feel as if I am missing out on anything and will skip the four days.

All GI Joe stuff is up for preorder right now on Hasbro Pulse.

Tracks is secured. I have an unopened Masterpiece Tracks though... they talked this up as being a mini version... but I dunno... It looks good but not as good as the last two Optimus Primes that they released in comparison to his respective Masterpiece. MP Tracks vs Voyager Size

Passing on Rodimus right now for $80. I like Hot Rod and I can live without Rodimus for $80. That should be at a $50-60 price point by the look of it and based on previous sales. I did not mind the $3 price increase on the Voyager size to get Tracks but I draw the line at Rodimus as an $80 figure. By Christmas look for a flash sale of $59.99 for Rodimus on Amazon like they did on Jetfire.

Oh my lord... they've done it. They are now transforming on their own. Tracks is my must buy and I am trying to check out now but Pulse is seizing. Rodimus Prime is a most likely. I like the Optimus Prime that transforms itself... but I don't like it at $700

He was entertaining. Why would I put a stop to the show?

10% off remainder.

Fair question and I think it is also based on the history of people messing around with black covers. I bought a few copies of Thor 165 when they were like $25 in 6.0-7.0. There was minimal risk. Growing up with the knowledge of a comic store owner taking a black sharpie to erase spine ticks makes me nervous. I know it was very common to improve the appearance of books from this time period and especially with black covers. I think that you want to get this graded for the other reason of establishing buyer confidence in the sale.

I don't count that anymore. I don't know how you even kept track of all that to begin with in the first iteration of this.

The book recently sold for $320 at auction raw in the VG-Fine range. If encapsulated and you have a book that is free from restoration I would assume it would go for more. I would send it in but with other books to offset some of the cost in shipping.

Very glad you liked it. Thank you for the kind words.

Next up in this collection is a 1997 Score Board Chase Authentic Autograph Card of Rae Caruth. Rae was the obvious next choice in this collection of those in the NFL that have encountered Legal Troubles. At this point most everyone knows Rae's story. If you are unfamiliar do a google search or read the text below the card. Crimes[edit] On November 16, 1999, near Carruth's home in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cherica Adams, a real estate agent he had been casually dating, was shot four times from a .357 caliber Charter Arms revolver by Van Brett Watkins Sr., a nightclub manager and an associate of Carruth. Adams managed to call 911, and said that Carruth had stopped his vehicle in front of hers, and that another vehicle drove alongside and its passenger had shot her. Carruth then drove away from the scene.[8] Adams was eight months pregnant with Carruth's child at the time. Soon after her admission to the hospital, she fell into a coma. Doctors delivered the baby via emergency caesarean section. Carruth went to the police and posted $3 million bail, on condition that if either Adams or the infant died, he would turn himself in.[8] Adams died on December 14, 1999. The baby, named Chancellor Lee Adams, survived, but suffered permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy as a result of being without oxygen for 70 minutes before he was born.[7][9] Carruth quickly fled after Adams' death, but was captured on December 15 in West Tennessee, found hiding in the trunk of a car outside a motel in Parkers Crossroads.[10] The trunk also contained $3,900 cash, bottles of his urine, extra clothes, candy bars, and a cell phone. The Panthers waived him on December 16,[11] citing a morals clause in his contract, and the NFL suspended him indefinitely on December 17.[12] At trial, prosecutors contended that Carruth hired Watkins and others to murder Adams because of her refusal to abort their unborn child.[13] Carruth's lawyer David Rudolf claimed that Carruth had been caught up in a drug deal gone bad. They claimed that on the night of the shooting, after Carruth had refused to fund the drug deal, Watkins shot Adams in a sudden rage when she "flipped him off" after he had attempted to ask her about Carruth's whereabouts.[14] Carruth was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and using an instrument to destroy an unborn child. He was found not guilty of first-degree murder, and was spared the death penalty. He was sentenced to 18 to 24 years in prison.[15][16] Van Brett Watkins Sr was sentenced to prison for a minimum of 40 years, 8 months and a maximum 50 years, 8 months for the murder of Cherica Adams. Carruth sent a letter in 2018 apologizing to Saundra Adams, the mother of Cherica Adams, via WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina, for accusing her of lying about him in interviews for years.[1][17]

Don't worry @onlyweaknesskryptonite I am scanning the Rae Caruth card right now and will be uploading that next with his wiki entry in a few minutes over on my sports card journal.

I did

Going to focus on NFL... I saw the news today on Phillip Adams and apparently he does not have any autograph chase cards. As soon as the alerts came in I immediately went to eBay.

I am always on the looking for "Buzzetta" books in my uncle or grandfather's writing for this reason.
