Is that an original Kenner Alien?

Post your Garage Sale/Flea Market/Antique Mall Finds Here
Chip Cataldo replied to Shark's topic in Comics General
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.- 390 replies

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

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

Certified Collectibles Group to Acquire James Spence Authentication
Chip Cataldo replied to Ryan.'s topic in Comics General
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. -

"Mask Camaro Sweepstakes" DC Comics Insert
Chip Cataldo replied to Beyonder123's topic in Comics General
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.

The retro video game market has crashed?
Chip Cataldo replied to SpineTic's topic in CGC Video Games General Discussion
Loose game market is pretty strong right now. I just sold an Atari 2600 Quadrun with a not-NM label for $500. -
One of my favorite artists of all time. He really got me into comics in the first place with his Fantastic Four run. I picked up about 5 issues around #250 while the family was visiting an uncle and was hooked ever since. Had a huge collection of any book he had art in long before the Internet and eBay made it easy. It being friends with Terry Austin in the early 90s helped as he'd clue me in to obscure stuff or source something oddball for me. One of the highlights of my life was going with Terry to John's house for a visit back in 1995. I got to have dinner with Byrne & Austin, and for this comic fan it doesn't get any better than that. I never really read much of his stuff after Next Men finished as I didn't really buy new comics anymore. The few pages of Elsewhen I've seen were okay. Thoughts on one of the GOATs? Any personal stories or opinions on his artwork? I welcome them all because I know he's also a grump that rubs some the wrong way.

Had this spicy little meatball show up today. Cover & centerfold completely attached at the one meager staple and the book is complete. 😎
