  1. Your books and my books were hanging out at Joe's around the same time apparently...
  2. Not a Legal Scanner question... but a Vuescan settings question I was planning on using my HP 4520 to scan some photos from the 1940's and 50's. Can anyone, if familiar, recommend some decent settings for old b&w photos? I ask here because many of us use Vuescan.
  3. I am working from home. Instead of getting up at 4:30am I get to get up at 7:15am....
  4. @ 25% off Edited to clarify the right book with image.
  5. Just got back from one of the only Sunday flea markets on the South Shore... usual things like broken tools, sports cards, underwear, T-Mobile, used video games without packaging or instructions. Usually anything that is of notice is incomplete and at a mint price. Loose Boba Fett Star Wars figure with major paint rub? Ask was $50. Comics in G condition asking F-VF pricing. Used Lego sets that may or may not be complete were offered at full retail boxed to retired collector prices. I picked up one Star Wars figure in about C-8 condition (after a good cleaning) that did not have his weapon since I already had an extra at home. For something to flip through I picked up a Mystery in Space comic for a $5 (looks so much nicer in a fresh bag and board). I went through things for about an hour and a half and that was all that seemed worth bringing home. This goes on every week but this is only the second time I have gone this year. Vendors must wear masks and gloves. Patrons must wear masks. (I also wear gloves) and kindly tell other patrons to back the F up unless they want me to back them the F up myself when one guy was hovering over me as I was flipping through things. The last time I was attended, there was a guy that was going off that people should not have to wear masks. The Vendors themselves told him that they would not sell to him unless he wore a mask. Then he yelled out that everything or something was "retarded". At that point, and I was impressed, the vendors and other patrons started criticizing him and they refused to sell to him asking him to leave. It was nice to see to him learn that his money wasn't green. Will I go back again? Probably not. Things like that are at test run for whether or not I will attend comic art con in NJ at the end of the month or go to a show again in the near future. I am not comfortable with the idea of people hovering over me and people walking around or flipping through boxes with their masks on their chins. One guy was doing that was coughing aloud. As the weather is starting to cool here on Long Island, you do wake up each morning with a slight bit of congestion which is normal. However it should also be normal to have the social grace to wear a mask or cover your mouth. Sadly that is lost on some people.
  6. Some of us are in the background watching... might as well while you have everyone's attention...
