Shad is right. There are no "shortcuts" to this, really. I picked up a collection of comic magazines locally a few days ago from people that knew literally nothing about the hobby and didn't have the time or care to research everything. It was outside the scope of their "regular" life and what they had going on right now. They appreciated my knowledge and the cash offer that was made when I explained to them what they had and why certain things were important. They were also happy to have it gone immediately with little effort on their part. You have to put in the work over time to be able to evaluate on the fly.

I have no idea. I was just answering someone's question. Matt already said he's collecting information to give to authorities/investigators. He did that a few days ago.

I think people are worried that he's unhinged enough (based on his posts) that the door confrontation would go south fast.

Very sad to read this news. A true fan of comics and a great personality.

The pickle I like rocks and the pickle you like sucks. That's the scale.

I cannot wait to see this film. I've been such a huge fan since I was a kid watching the old movies every Saturday afternoon.

The video is still up, and yes they are. I have pictures of them all individually...somewhere on a backup drive. I just have to find time to look for them.

Total BS, as I'm an Aries and I love pickles. No jokes, please.

Local auction houses, sure. Definitely not eBay, not anymore.

He's in Denver, I believe. The Mile High City. I think that's where the name comes from.

Yep, that's me. Nowadays all I collect is dust. It's mainly because I don't have the room but I don't really want to go down any more rabbit holes. I have been picking up nice coffee-table books of comic stories and characters I like, but I'm even running out of space for those. I have a few packaged modern toys like the small Marvel Legends Doom, the Super7 Hedorah & Black Hole robots and a Longbox Heroes box set. That plus a few loose NY Giants McFarlane figures is all I've got.

Ah, the movie that no one asked for. They need new movies with new characters. Whatever happened to them developing a High Republic movie?

Looks like another CGI mess to me based on the trailers.

My Dad and I have been watching this and we think it's fantastic, if not a bit weird at times. Anyone else watch it? I think we're on Season 5 now.

I don't think Matt going to his house is the right thing, either. Compiling a list of people and what they have there and how much money they have paid for work not done is best. Presenting all that information to the police or fraud department of whatever local investigators handle that is the correct thing to do and will drive home the severity of the situation.

...until the police get in there and find nearly all the books gone. Then the stuffing hits the fan.

They're one of those foods that when you taste them you can't go back to the regular "big brands" ever again. There needs to be a Water Cooler thread about pickles (or the "best tasting" brands of individual foods), methinks.

Female Silver Surfer = Fail Hamm Doctor Doom = Win

Wasn't someone posting recently about a fellow collector that had a full long box of Hulk #181s? I'm sure this stuff already exists, the books just aren't on the market.

I've had those. They're excellent. Roy, you do need to try them.

Roy, the movies were based on the park ride which opened in 1967.

LOL. You are correct there, but I was referring to comic books only.

Has anyone purchased the Taschen Frazetta book yet? Just wondering how it's like in person.

DougC just posted one example but I'd be curious as to what other stuff Chuck has that is "difficult to restock" and not available anywhere else. As big as MHC is, it's not bigger than eBay as far as selection and probably just as much of a crapshoot with grading. Doug was lucky enough to be able to inspect and select as far as grading but most won't have that option.
