  1. You are looking better mate @porcupine48 keep up the hard work...and a pic for you!
  2. With CGI the way it is now - why not live action? Been a huge fan of the idea of a movie. But again, just like so many other books that I knew would probably make a good show / movie....I haven't grabbed a heap.
  3. 9.8 of #1 broke the $2000 mark last month - now a solid $1700 book Loved the covers - some of the oils were amazing - tried to buy a couple - one went for over $30,000 many, many years back. I dread to think what they fetch now. My fave #32:
  4. Yup, as I said above - comic related shows are spread over too many channels to be worth signing up to them all. I'm not paying for Hulu on top of the others. I referenced 'Line Of Duty' above - possibly the best Police TV series in a long, long time. Seasons 1-5 are on Netflix The last season - 6 - is on Britbox. You cannot help but thinking it was done for the $$$$ and nothing else. I loved that show, but I'm not signing up for yet another channel to see it.
  5. I did - and you are correct. She performed far better than I thought she was capable of. Good film, good acting
  6. Yet again in some countries it will be on a different channel. In Australia its on 'Binge' The cost of watching favourite shows is becoming silly The Boys on Amazon Y on Binge Marvel on Netflix and Disney+ Even 'In the Line Of Duty' ended up on 'Britbox' I'd love to watch it, but really can't be bothered to sign up to yet another channel for 1 show. The expense of those above is about $150 per month here. Too much.
  7. We are the most locked down major city on the planet. We are approaching 9 months out of the last 12. With a whole 225 cases today.... Police and ADF (army) enforced curfew 9pm - 5am No travel of more than 5kms (unless working or going to medical appt) 2 hrs for exercise Masks mandatory outdoors 1 DESIGNATED visitor (nobody else - just the same person) We are sheep - and given away all freedom on the word of one man - Daniel 'dictator' Andrew - state premier. All gyms, pubs, clubs, hair salons, restaurant, cinemas and sporting venues - CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE People are broke, businesses are failing all over the joint, self harm and teenage suicides at record high levels Oh - and beaches are closed unless only 2 of you go - mearing masks and living within 5kms of the beach...... What a compliant, pathetic bunch we are here in Melbourne - all civil liberties, so hard won, and so easily discarded. I'm double vaccinated, and get no extra benefit at all. I, and many others, have simply given up any hope of this ending.

  9. As a complete outsider - I don't know anyone involved, and I have no interest in the Video game market, and even less knowledge. I would say that qualifies me as an 'independent outsider' , oui? So as an independent outsider, my concern is that clearly some of the MSM who were involved in the original promotion of this company and game, and who took all the info at face value, are now going to be revisiting this sale, and the players involved. MSM, for all it's many, many faults, don't like to be made fools of, and certainly not be innocently complicit in promoting something that more and more outlets are leaning towards the 'does not pass the smell test' camp. I worry that Heritage will be compromised beyond repair IF similar shenanigans are exposed as brutally (as this one APPEARS to be) in Comic and Comic OA record sales. The MSM are seemingly being drawn towards this story, as sharks are to chum in the sea. I hope for the best, but fear...you know the rest. I hope the records sales can be shown to be genuine, and that Comics, on the whole, actually are gaining as Heritage's sales would suggest - not a 'quasi-ponzi' scheme where the circle of selling between the same involved parties can be proven. If corruption can be shown in a significant number of sales, then there could be a major market correction before stability prevails, and a lot of people could be burned, especially the new or uninformed. I welcome a 'correction' but not at the expense of new comic collectors / first time buyers. And yes they DO exist Looking at the "Promise" collection, I admit to being more than a little concerned. With the increasingly incestuous relationship between Heritage, Rally Rd, CGC, Pawn Stars and gaming companies et al being revealed like the skins of an onion, it's hard to see how the mind-bogglingly absurd over-grading on some of the books would be overlooked by people investigating this alleged scam. Maybe Halperin will have to fall on his sword to calm the gathering MSM who are sharpening pitchforks as we speak. This cannot, and seemingly will not be swept under the carpet. FWIW - I have used Heritage once, and the transactions were conducted professionally and in a timely fashion. I have no complaints personally. NOTE: No allegations are being made by me towards any board members or outside persons - I don't know any of them, or have any additional info regarding the protagonists so to do so would be wrong. The conviction of Jim Halperin however is of public record, and very hard to overlook
  10. I reckon it's time for Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders to appear. I reckon Marvel should do a good old fashioned war movie. Last good one was that Brad Pitt film 'Fury' back in 2014. Still a market for them - GI Jane, Fury, Private Ryan etc etc
  11. I hope Marvel hold off for a bit, seeing as I have an ASM Annual #1 which I hope will be an 8.5 minimum sitting at CGC. About a year would do - it might be done by then..... These TAT's are ridiculous currently, so the longer the Sinister Six can wait to be seen, the better!
  12. Daytripper #1 Only 5 on census. Same guy that did Umbrella Academy. Terrific book.
  13. A lot of 'hot' books are cooling quickly, whilst blue chip books continue the cycle of hot/cold. AF #15 was dead 12 months ago, according to some - $42K for a 3.5, $30K for a 2.5 and $24K for a 0.5 (WTF??) suggest otherwise. So now X-Men #1 is having a cooling off. It happens. Blue-Chip books are safe. Movie Books - not so much. Mephisto anyone? Incidentally - Walking Dead #1 in 9.8 has taken an surprising downward trend - I thought $4K was a bit strong (the $5K one was an outlier) - but 3 shows (admittedly one ruined, one very average, and one totally ) , a really great comic - (at least for the first half), and not ever on free-to-air TV, would make it a solid $3,500 book. It should be anyway IMHO. Now $2.5k. Any reason? A good time to buy?
  14. Supply demand. Price went up - market flooded. 9.8's are just stabilising and are just creeping up ever so slightly. 9.6 + 9.4 are still sliding. People will stop listing, and off we go again. I know there are a lot slabbed, but when a live action MM movie gets done - these prices will be cheap ( and yes I do have some for open disclosure)
  15. And the name of this store and his presser are? Name them both - others may have been in the same boat.
  16. No dog in this race - but a bit confused? He's paid for 18 and you sent 15? You have 12 left, and he has already paid for 3 of them. So you are asking for PL unless he pays for the outstanding 9 books? If he doesn't pay, what happens to the other 3 he's already paid for? It might help, if you clarify this please. Thanks. Or Golden Pete could just pay his bill
  17. Dylan, Dylan, Dylan. Young man, trying to attack Adam / Danielle in a place where many of us have dealt with both of them, and been amazed at their quality of books and helpfulness with time payments etc is the wrong move. Look at yourself. Then let go of this petty grudge, and improve your own business. Because compared to Filter81 - you aren't in the same universe. PS: Hi to Dylans Dad. Your son needs a good paddlin'
  18. Upon reflection, both you and Jeffro are right - it should be up to the buyer to decide which threads to spend their money in, and upon the seller to decide in which fashion they choose to sell their items.
  19. Can we have a page number limit on sales threads? How hard is it to close one after say 10 pages and start another? Some go for 30, 40, 50 ,60+ pages. I buy books, but I really can't be bothered to go through all those pages to see whats sold or not, or look at an update list on page 37, and find the book on page 19, and it isn't what I'm looking for. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this. Easier for buyers to see the books, easier for sellers to keep the thread organised. I, and quite a few others, just skip long existing sales threads. 10 pages is reasonable, surely?
