What I don't understand is not coming up with some horrid monster to fight. Oh, it's another gorilla. Wheeeeeeee...

How would it slice the top & bottom parts?

"Monetary incentives?"

Spawn #1 in NM for $5? Where's that?

Ah, okay. Still pretty damn cool.

Is that an original Kenner Alien?

No comics today, but a cool local pickup nonetheless. Sports Illustrated #1-6 plus the one-year anniversary issue. Both #1 and #2 have the baseball card pullout inserts intact. Very happy to grab these though it was a bit of a drive through heavy traffic.

Never, but I've done 100 orders in under 5 hours this year, not under any kind of time crunch. If I was pressed for time I'm sure I could do 150 in 4 hours. It's just the process I use is fast and I've done it for years now, repeatedly, dozens of times a week (at least). This is talking about just single comics or single carded action figures...nothing involved. That is what we were discussing, right? Just want to make sure.

Printing a label from eBay is like 5 seconds assuming you have your listing set up correctly (10oz package weight, 13"x9"x2" package size). It takes less than 30 seconds to package a comic in a Gemini mailer, and maybe 30 seconds more if you're taping the book in-between a cardboard sandwich. Maybe. if the book is more expensive I'll take an extra minute due to the thickness of the cardboard sandwich, but that's just my OCD in wanting it to show up the way it was sent. 3-5 minutes a package? That's slow unless you're packing up larger toys and many comics in the same package, but then again it takes me less than a minute to pack up a single packaged action figure. It's not difficult to do it quickly and safely.

"You...didn't kill...Anakin Skywalker... ...*I* did." I love love LOVE that scene. It's classic Star Wars to me.

With comics, that's not a lot of time at all. 3-4 hours, maybe? If that.

Picked up this little gem last week and wasn't sure where to share it but I think everyone in this thread will appreciate. 😊

The Force Awakens only did this part of your philosophy and it made out like gangbusters.

Now THAT is amazing. Wow. It looks perfect.

How could somebody hate comic books?

Why not a blue label with notation above the serial number in bold that says "JSA Authenticaed Signature?"

It can for a few people I've spent lots of time around. I'll name Terry Austin, Ron Marz and Todd DeZago. Terry in particular has been a friend for 25+ years and is one of the kindest people I've ever met in my life.

They hired them NOT for authentication. They hired them to be the QC team! Come on, people. Wake UP.

Is that your kitteh in your avatar?

A seriously underrated run. Byrne is a master storyteller.

Easy as hell to play.

They need to scrap this. It's pretty simple to me... FF movie. Silver Surfer movie. Doom movie. X-Men movie. Then the heroes are forced to team up with Doom to save Earth against the threat of Galactus. Doom saves the day in the end when the heroes are defeated.

I do enjoy it very much. It's one of the handful of DC movies that I'll actually watch over again.

Loose game market is pretty strong right now. I just sold an Atari 2600 Quadrun with a not-NM label for $500.
