  1. Thor 1 is the origin of that, with Thor himself coining it I believe if memory serves me correctly. Yup
  2. I'd bet money on it.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Maybe that's his wife. She was a hat model.
  3. Two of the top 3 Silver books are mine. I finally made it
  4. Decent price - downright steal... I can't get the image of the comic to pop-up. Is this a reputable dealer? Must have sold, I looked at it before, but no longer on the site. Yes he's a reputable seller :thumbsup: I decided to auction it off. I'll honor the price if anyone contacts me about it before Thursday.
  5. A friend of mine and I grew up collecting together. Later I moved away for college and work. He has a raw Hulk 1 in about 5.0 and an X-Men 1 in about the same condition. The X-Men cost him $150 in the mid-80s. Has some nice early Spideys but no AF 15. He has a sizeable collection, but long ago he moved on to collecting movie posters and autographs. He's heavy into horror movie memorabilia and makes costumes. He is very attached to his stuff and he would never sell any of it. Maybe on his deathbed. None of his comics are graded, none have ever been scanned, none have been shared on the Internet. He doesn't care for online groups and forums. He isn't swayed by talk of money. He doesn't check GPA every week on the value of his keys, although he might flip through Overstreet every couple of years. If I know one guy like that, how many others must there be of the 320 million people in this country? I don't tend to think of the original owners who might still own their copies, but the thousands of collectors who may have picked up these books in the 70s, 80s and 90s and who have them out of sight, out of mind, and are busy with other aspects of life. Remember before 15 years ago, there were 0 CGC-graded copies of AF 15. Now there are X amount. 15 years is not a long time. Do you expect everyone to jump because someone down in Florida starts gluing comics inside hard plastic? Somebody mentioned they couldn't understand a person not being tempted to sell belongings if they were worth several thousand dollars. It's very easy for me to understand. Happens all the time - think family heirlooms. A lot of people really are just fine where they are.
  6. Today she was able to lift a lasso One day at a time folks
  7. I always thought it was to prevent buyers from using the information as leverage in negotiations for future Best Offer listings with that seller.
  8. +1 That was a great ending. I really like how they continue to respect the whole Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers backstory. They always seem to play it just right. The ending hit a nice poetic note. For me that trumps whether Peggy's actions made sense or not.
  9. If memory serves, he's a feature in the first few issues of Weird Comics, then he is replaced with a different character called Dynamite Thor
  10. Here is Thor in Venus #12 (1951) with Loki, who is also in Venus #6 The fact Thor is not an "original" superhero is why I have never really desired much to own JIM 83
  11. Thor in Weird Comics #1 from 1940 was very similar to Marvel's Thor
  12. I tried it once. The resolution wasn't very high. Never did it again.
  13. Agent Carter is much more satisfying to me. I think the a fixed-length, closed-end format helps them tell the story with tight pacing, a la Rome, Game of Thrones etc. Shows with the 22-episode season format are too watered-down for me.
  14. What a great show this has been. And this coming from someone who tries not to watch too much TV. Can't wait to watch it all again on DVD
  15. You answered my question right as I posted it Theses aren't tied to any movie franchises. I do love the Blue Beetle. I almost bought a bunch on Ebay, but decided to go for some Green Lantern's instead. Ted Kord has been rumored on Arrow for a while, but I don't think he has shown up yet. Nightshade was rumored for Suicide Squad. That put a spotlight on her.
  16. Thanks for the shout out! Dr. Love, spreading what he reads
  17. So can I sign up to Netflix for a day, watch the show, then cancel?
  18. Hi folks, really enjoy looking at these recent postings. Coincidentally I own 3 of the recently posted books, True To Life Romances 11, I Love You 1 and True Life Secrets 14. Here is a run of Popular Teen-Agers I recently bought
  19. Would there have been any difference between the first and second printing?
  20. GA collectors' euphemism for movie hype is "the character is becoming more culturally relevant". Movie hype? That's for dollar-bin divers ::
  21. :: That's a really astute observation. Of course the modern variant obsession is quite different; I have no interest in it whatsoever. There's an unfortunate aspect of our society that everyone dreams of striking gold or winning the lottery, and this explains the mass hysteria that takes place at moments like this. Too much concern in this country over how much I can win, and not enough generosity.
