  1. Stripes - agree, be like the all-female Ghostbusters Tombstone - if it's the one with Val Kilmer - yeah, one of the greatest westerns ever made. Do.Not.Touch. It will only end up like 3:10 to Yuma - a good film - but it was based on High Noon - and therefore paled into insignificance when compared side by side.
  2. Any suggestions as to who I should reach out to? She will apparently be at San Antonio: August 6th – 7th, 2022 for the Superhero Car show https://pmxevents.com/dt_team/krysten-ritter/
  3. I refuse to go near Facebook period. Too many wannabees causing too many headaches - just not worth the hassle on there.
  4. It a common theme. I used to get replies to my 'wanted to buy' ads on a weekly basis that led to solid collections of comics. 3 or 4 times a year to some seriously good buys. The last 12 months are a completely different beast. This is my hobby - I buy books out of $$ I make from selling bulk collections - not a single cent comes out of my salary. So to carry on I'm having to adapt. Leads that I would have normally replied - "Thanks for reaching out, but I'm okay for those books at the moment, I'm sure you will sell them soon" are now having to be followed up out of necessity. So I'm buying either: Lots of Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels Collections of stuff that sell, but very very slowly - High Number Phantoms, Pulps etc Really high $$$ stuff, that a lot of people in these unsettled times don't have access to ready cash - and I can only play that game if I have sold a lot of stuff and saved up a 'warchest' Now those $$$ level collections aren't being offered up anymore - I passed on an $18K collection of slabs about 16 months ago as I thought it was too high a price - now I'd bite his hand off. So I'm left, just like most of you, with having to turn over stuff that has the same profit margin, but much lesser value. I can't see it changing in the near future as people just won't sell.
