  1. Takes: First takeit in the thread wins and immediately trumps all ongoing PM negotiations. I reserve the right to overrule takes in the event that a PM deal is concluded and I hadn't yet had a chance to mark an item sold. Any variation of "takeit" counts. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through. Payment: Zelle, Check or MO preferred. Paypal or Venmo okay Who can buy: No Hall of Shamers or Probies, or anyone on my personal list. Shipping: Free within the US. International at cost. Returns: Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit.
  2. He's still painting it the perfect shade for maximum inventory visibility.
  3. Completely agree. Other than TMNT and The Tick, which is a local IP here, I had almost zero exposure to indy books at that time, being pre-internet. Once Wizard switched to more of an entertainment magazine, with a focus geared toward movie speculation and putting celebrities on covers, the utility of Wizard disappeared for me.
  4. The only people that have beaten that game are people who lie about beating that game.
  5. Next time we should make sure to only include covers that Baker actually drew.
  6. Pop 15 should win win all 8 top spots and should have won the polls it wasn't even in.
  7. That one baffled me. I guess two bidders really wanted that book.
  8. Cole books ending strong in the Mycomicshop Prime auction: 4Most Vol. 8 (1949) Four Most 5 VG+ 4.5 (mycomicshop.com) Power Comics (1944 Holyoke) 1 CGC 2.5 (mycomicshop.com) Holiday Comics (1951 Star) 5 VG 4.0 (mycomicshop.com) Spook (1954) 28 CGC 4.0 (mycomicshop.com)
  9. Woah, nice. These were the exact type of books I was looking for while diving through the long boxes. Nice scores. Funny about dealers saying they were good on buying Stevens books. Those guys all have boxes of them to piecemeal out. They are very common.
  10. Yes, the Carnage guy that's there every year with his giant lobster claw hands taking up entire corridors. There was one other costumed fella there that I saw but I didn't recognize the costume. Some trenchcoat and mask situation.
  11. I feel like the female population was down this year from the past few years. Most of the women there seemed to be tagging along with their significant other. There was one woman, around 30ish, in Terry's booth haggling over the price of a Wonder Woman comic while I was standing nearby but, overall, it was largely a sea of flabby dudes lugging backpacks. There were only two costumes from what I saw. That's still two too many.
  12. There's nothing rational about any of this hobby.
  13. This price seems absurd to me but I'm still wrapping my head around the interest and resultant price escalation that's been pushing towards Atlas romance the last year or so.
