  1. You think you have problems... Joey at CFP dropped off (YES CGC - DROPPED THEM OFF) 20 books including a high-grade ASM Annual #1 which is at least an 8.5 CGC now say they recieved them, BUT CANT FIND THEM. How the holy heck do you lose 20 books inc a $15,000 book when they were HAND-DELIVERED and ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM They have been lost for a month @dena Any chance of looking for the missing books - its not like Joey only drops off one or two a year Absolutely abysmal.

  3. Frew Phantom #1 is worth big bucks Australian DD #1 is very sought after.
  4. Ncuti Gatwa Awesome in sex education (shows he can really,really act) - big guy, young and talented. Make a great Bond.
  5. Absolutely - has the potential to be anything. If somebody threw serious coin at a series of movies - it could be a massive hit. I could totally dig a 6 season series as well - who to cast as Darrow (would have to be different actors - one for the Helldiver, one for the Gold) and Sevro though? They need to get those 2 spot on.
  6. I read the expanse - so much better than the TV show. If people liked the Show - well the books are so,so,so much better. I can't see how they can finish the TV show in one season with all they have left (and after missing 75% of the books out of the show!) The only TV improvement was Drummer - although she had absolutely nothing in common with the Drummer in the book! Same with Game Of Thrones - the books were much better, and so different from the show...still waiting on Winds Of Winter. I'm on the Jack Reacher books now - no need to engage brain, just a simple read, but fun. I'll give Rivers Of London a search at my local library. Thanks!
  7. Needs to be aimed at Adults and not an under 13's woke fest. Yes Y-The Last Man, I'm looking at you. It was a great show - new actors, better SFX and a decent budget - what's not to like if its done with respect to the original storylines. Plus the odd cameo from surviving actors. I'm in!
  8. They are going to do Herogasm - OMG If you ain't read it - this is a standard panel...... NSFW
  9. I stumbled upon a Graphic Novel - Sons Of Ares by Pierce Brown, based on his books. I grabbed all 5 from the library - the Red Rising trilogy , Iron Gold and Dark Age - and they are bloody great. Very much Game Of Thrones meets Star Wars. Anyone else read them? The last one - The LightBringer is out early next year. Brown attends Comic-Cons, and has written some Star Wars Comics (I think) - so this is comic related! Highly recommended series. So - anymore good book series anyone can recommend?
  10. Some of the other pulps in the box lot. Info welcome - all beat up, but complete with attached covers:
  11. Is this worth anything? Issue #2 from 1939. Have about 8 of these larger pulps from 1930's / 1940's All beat to hell, but covers are still hanging on, and pulps are complete.
  12. Kinda depends on the books really. Stating the obvious to most here, but anything that is a genuine SA Marvel Key probably will only stabilise in price - I certainly don't expect any of the top 20 / 30 'top' books to plummet. Movie books will be movie books. UF #4 , Vengeance #1 etc still have room to go. I'm very bullish of UF #4 still - even when that boardie posted his pic of 200 copies of 1st print UF#4 (well played sir). Currently there are 11,000 graded by CGC, and probably as many again across at CBCS / PGX or in CGC system - but is 25 / 30,000 slabbed copies going to exceed supply when MM gets a live action debut? The post movie books will do their usual dance - drop, and slowly settle to the new norm. Some like TWD #1 go back up. Others like Preacher, Revival, and now seemingly Y-The Last Man are doing a 'Sixth-Gun' like dive. If a character has a good base / history, and a longevity about them, such as say, Conan they should be Ok (as in not lose 50%of their value in a few months). The other side of the coin are lesser characters ranging from: Mr Sinister to better known ones such as: Gambit and Deadpool But again - we know that. The concern is that the 'amateurs' and 'noobs' ,who are mainly the ones spending the ridiculous amounts of money, some of it borrowed, panic in a stampede-like fashion, and dump thousands of these books onto the market and initiate a crash. It will be great for most of us to get the 'keeper books' that seem to be absurdly expensive right now, but not so good for the short / medium term of this hobby. If you are buying keys, I guess it's time to be very, very selective.
  13. I may be wrong but isn't @Gotham Kid in France. His old name was PeterInParis or similar. Apologies if wrong - he might know someone who can help you. Sorry if you've moved Peter!
  14. Take a guess when the show reviews started.... 11th September I think.
  15. I said they should'nt do it, and having watched eps #1 + #2 - I'm sad to say personally I think this is garbage. Comics like Preacher and this just won't fly on TV. If you are going to do a show like Y-The Last Man, then be faithful to the original concept. If we wanted a show that exists purely to virtue signal, there are plenty of others to watch. Such a shame, as the comic was superb.
  16. Just to note - StarTrack are Australia Post's couriers. So no parcel deliveries by the Post Office until the strike ends. Fedex have a big depot in Melbourne, so probably wise to check in USA if posting to Southern Australia
  17. And today Fedex and StarTrack couriers have gone on strike in Aus. Great.
  18. Read it again Bosco. Slowly this time.
  19. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/horror/the-walking-dead-1-black-label-image-2003-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/40176-82438.s Calling complete BS on this. There are others over $1000 cheaper readily available on dealer sites and ebay.
  20. Absolutely. Why do a sequel to a great film - usually they ain't too good. Aliens is the only one that springs to mind, possibly Terminator 2. On the other hand - Blues Brothers 2000 and Grease 2. Do another character and make a series. Jonathan Crane would be epic.
  21. January for me - I use a third party - and they always keep me in the loop, so no complaints with my submitter. Used him for many years. And will for many more I suspect. The problem with CGC is lack of infrastructure investment - graders take time - but when you trade them up, at least have the machinery to raise production numbers. I remember when onsite grading meant hauling the bloody machines to the show and back again. I hope they have fixed that issue going forwards. CGC make a fortune. Spend a bit. No wonder CBCS is getting a ton of work. Hell, even the worst grading company on the planet - yes Halo, I am talking about you - are getting heaps more books in. Am I grumpy - hell yeah. I've got $60,000 - $70,000 AUD worth of books sitting there, and I'd like them back - and of course USPS have pulled the plug on some international routes, meaning a lot of overseas books will be pilling up.
