All points well-made in the recent feebay discussion. Some like it, some don't. As a dealmaker, I like to evaluate all costs up front going into each transaction and determine whether to pull the trigger or not. They have now removed the ease of doing that in the moment (which will ultimately lead to increased fee percentages, masking of fees, and distribution of more $$ to go-betweeners. Believe me, they will not be happy until they are getting 51% or more of every transaction, and will steal your shorts, while you are out "mowing your lawn."

Good idea, but how does your wife feel about that? Thought so . . .

Certainly those are, but in the books he spent much less time.

And perhaps the worst Gil Kane cover ever . . .

Merely, expressing an opinion and prompting discussion. So what yourself.

So . . . two panels and a Conan up-skirt glance. I stand corrected.

If I recall correctly, she's on 6 pages. The story in 24 is better, sure, but 23 is still a full first appearance and then some. Yawn - you have to hunt her down even after you read it . . .

23 is a lame first appearance

This is tongue-in-cheek . . . or the stoopidest thing I have EVER heard.

Time to post some recent Modern Age sales (mostly thanks to the information received on these boards.) Hats-off to all of you!

Wrong forum @Plantman

If it were Ms. Knight, I might get excited . . .

What a gentleman . . .

You have some work to do then . . .

Seriously busy.

Just how old ARE you . . .

I get that. There are very few jobs that have actual pensions these days. Cheers, and good luck with the renovation!

hardly. what's the difference between 57 and 62? 5 more years of job misery. For me it wouldn't be retirement anyway, I'd hang a shingle and do low stress stuff like trusts and estates and real estate closings, probably make a lot less, not work as many hours, and sell comics. and paint pictures of psychotic clowns. Agreed I have no desire for that either. Find a low stress job, pay the bills, sell some comics and cruise into retirement instead of crashing in looking around and asking what do I do now? If you are miserable in the work you do, you should quit and explore alternatives. Also note, why do they call it work instead of play? Happiness is the true goal.

Same buyer though had both bids - He really wanted it.

Sorry to hear that .... try broadening your vision a bit

Worth? Is that the only reason you collect?

I think it's the retiring early that kills a lot of people . . . .
