  1. Boondock Saints rip-off to try and sell more tickets?
  2. He looks utterly stupid. That's not The Joker.
  3. Couldn't that also be due to more dropped theaters, though?
  4. Absolutely love it. I love 70's DC horror. Soooo much goodness. Looks like you've got some interesting esoteric in there as well. Killer find! Congrats.
  5. This is another great tip. I know about a lot of different hobbies as I've collected a lot over the last 30 years, but when something pops up on CL that I don't know much about I'll research it to see if I can profit. Case in point, I bought a butch of baseball statues that I checked out before purchasing and made a great profit on. If you work at it hard enough you can do it.
  6. Obviously, your goal wasn't to win the CGC Fantasy Football Championship. :baiting: :baiting:
  7. Here's my short list, assuming you already have the experience in the hobby (which you seemingly do not) : 1. Customer Service. 2. Networking/Relationships. 3. Hard CONSISTENT Work. My main mantra is customer service, but right behind that is the realization that I have to do something a little extra every day that furthers my business. Having an off day and don't want to deal with it after the regular work is done? Tough. Do *something* extra that furthers the business. List 10 BiN auctions. Bag and board 500 comics. Cut cardboard for shipping. Organize some toys for a night's auctions. Run a sale in the eBay store. SOMETHING. After a while it'll become common practice and the benefits are huge in the long run.
  8. Gator's here. This should get interesting unless Gator wises up quick and realizes it's a whole mess of p i s s i n g in the wind...
  9. Let's just hope the women are dressed like the White & Black Queens.
  10. Nice find! Any collection with notable books in it is a great find "in the wild."
  11. I'm using Photoshop. The scan lands in there and then I adjust with that. I haven't mucked about with the HP scan software settings yet to see if I can get the scan to look nice when it lands in PS.
  12. I think glare is inevitable unless you're spending $1k on a scanner.
  13. Welp, I bit the bullet on a used HP 8300 scanner. $93 shipped. Damn is this thing HUMONGOUS! It's certainly noisier than my little Epson (5 years running now), but the scans are wonderful quality and quick. I'm very pleased!
