  1. Exactly my point. I don't care what people read, what people collect, etc., but when some yahoo comes on and says the "experts" are telling newbies to "spend $80 on a crappy Modern" then I've got to toss in my 2-cents. No "expert" (unless he's an expert on crack) would recommend such a strategy. So what strategery do you recommend ? Berate everyone as much as possible. Buy everything at 3 cents on a dollar, store and hold.
  2. Boy, am I glad I don't even understand this goop.
  3. Captain America meets The Mummy? Medusa looks like a tranny (no offense intended). Tell Old Man Logan to get the f off my lawn! What everyone else has already said about Dr. Strange . . . Iron Woman?
  4. What.....the........fornicate am I looking at here? A pile of fkn . Why does Iron Man have camel feet? This whole thing is someone's bad idea of a joke, right? Right?
  5. Sure, but don't you think "Moderns That Are Cooling Off" is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel? 99.9% of Modern Drek gets hot for 15 seconds, then dies off and is never heard from again. Shooting fish in a barrel is an ancient tradition among my people.
  6. Comic Rule #245 - Never trust sellers when it comes around to declaring a comic "Key". I want to know where the rest of the list is . . .
  7. Maybe they realize that current Marvel is random disconnected garbage so they want something that isn't? Just finished reading the Wedding Annual & "random disconnected garbage" seems to fit it pretty well also. Why would Marvel have a big event marriage issue & assign Paul Ryan & Vince Colletta as the artists. Tru-dat.
  8. If I had an SA collection of only "Keys", it would have less than fifty books in it . . . for any age for that matter.
  9. Oddly, I don't disagree with much of what you say, I just disagree with your conclusions.
  10. I love coming here and getting compliments from newbs on my age Now, if only you were 50 years younger and of opposite gender It may not be a "high dollar 'key'" (yet), but Peter and MJ's wedding would certainly have to be considered a "key" moment in Spider-Man lore. In that regard, it is a "key". The book being tough in high or 9.8 grade can very easily give it steam along with the "Renew Your Vows" event and whatever comes out of that. That is precisely what triggered me to finally seek out a high grade copy for myself. (thumbs u -J. People lose track of what a true key is. a book selling for 350.00 in a 9.8 is a key A book which is constantly in demand for almost 30 years regardless of price is a key A key is NOT a book that came out yesterday and will have a staying power of a year or less a key is NOT a book that is being in demand due to current events a key is NOT a book that came out 30 years ago and all of a sudden became popular Despite the above, ASM Annual #21 is not a key.
  11. oh and hot... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-wars-Dark-Empire-II-5-Gold-Rare-N-M-Key-1st-app-New-Jedi-Solo-children-/321769837975?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aeafa1597 Geez, I had a set of those gold foil Dark Empire books for years, couldn't give 'em away. Actually, I probably DID end up giving them away. The lesson: nothing can be given away! Everything is gold! GOLD! I could have dozens of these and not even know it . . .
  12. You mean until next week? Or the end of the month?
  13. Sell, as any issue heats up enough to make it worth your while. Many will. Otherwise hold. Mylar all at 9.6 or better. Slab as soon as possible to be able to capitalize on market trends any 9.8 or higher Fixed that for you. Why pay 50% of their value to CGC, instead of 10% to eBay?
  14. ASM Annual 21 a true key? "Kids these days . . . "
  15. Sell, as any issue heats up enough to make it worth your while. Many will. Otherwise hold. Mylar all at 9.6 or better.
  16. On both covers? Unlikely Gotta be a printing error. Either that or an ashcan It's the "Bill and Ted" QC department . . .
