I don’t like that story… for obvious reasons. But good for you nonetheless. 

This just happened a 2nd time for $2k comic book.  Just a signature required delivery that no one was home for.  The tracking number on the attempted delivery slip didn’t match anything in their system.  I had to call multiple times and finally waited for 20 minutes on hold.  The lady said the delivery driver probably didn’t scan the bar code on the slip so it was associated with the package but try going to the post office and they may have it.  Sure enough, it was at the post office.

I had a ~$20k package of CGC books go missing.  Spent 3 weeks calling with no luck.  Package was shipped registered.  My wife went to the local post office, asked if they had it which they promptly gave to her.  Had just been sitting at the local PO.

Really hope you get it back

Thank you sir !

I must have missed this one.

I posted this one on the CLink thread, but I guess I can post it here, too.

That book gets two snaps and a twist.  Love the white pages.

Actually, Pop’s books are kind of a weird “pedigree”. Historical artifacts if you will. I’ve had a few and sold them quickly. 

Am I the only sick pervert who would like a "Pop" superhero book?

Does it count as a flip if Anthony takes something off his own website and marks it up another 90% for Dueling Dealers?

Only if it sells, then we all chip in for some decent mental help for whoever bought it.

Latest kit is in the house.  Posted with two other Dinosaur kits.

When I first started buying original artwork, $20 was a lot to spend for me.  Sadly as my disposable income increased, so did the price of artwork but I am happy with what I have been able topic up over the years.

Not a crazy increase in price

I think my buying for the year is over. Here are some highlights of my acquisitions. Not so much buying this year. Concentrated on two bigger (for me) purchases and then just some things that caught my eye.

I've always thought Blackhawk deserved more respect in the hobby. After all, he survived from the Golden Age to the Modern Age without superpowers.

Happy holidays, denizens of the boards, and may all your wantlist wishes be filled in 2024!

That Military Comics looks WAY better than the assigned grade

And the Batman 24 is awesome !  Must have snagged it from a collector with amazing taste.

Maybe someday when I'm retired I'll set all mine up again. They take up a good amount of space. As a kid I never knew the Allosaurus didn't initially get base, and didn't understand why one was pictured on the maps from '72 on.

Definitely post a picture if you put them together.

I have thought about buying built kits to paint and display but before I do, need to make sure I have room for them.  In my retirement office I hope to have built in bookshelves that span on wall with a lot of floor to ceiling spacing.

Here are the two large boxed Monsters of the Movie.

Here's my most recent pickups, a Moebius Mummy reissue and a Prehistoric Scenes '71 Neanderthal Man. My original Neanderthal Man was nicely painted by my mom and I want to keep it as is. I'll need to strip some off of this guy who's partially painted.

 

 

I loved how the bases interlocked

Dave has a piece in his collection I would love to own, hopefully it is auctioned to pay for his recent winnings.

What is the X-Wing HA purchase?  Some of us are part of the Cabal

The Ditko Spiderman panel page is off to a strong start

I have no particular OA collecting goals for next year, just to spend (a lot) less and be more discerning. Less buying for the sake of buying after a very active 2022 (101 pieces bought/2 sold) and 2023 (104 pieces bought/1 sold). 

That’s a whole lot of artwork!  Over 200 piece accumulated in just 2 years
