  1. Unique beginnings Firstly, I must say....there are many of You who know more than Me.... I am a collector...many of which are childhood memories (My favorite CGC being Captain Marvel #1 5.0). I drew it as a lad and it is priceless (and unworthy to sell) to me. If I were to choose a high grade collection of merit it would be DC. Stan Lee is the better half of Andy Warhol and, meeting him Eye to Eye, has enabled collectors to establish a network of Awareness in "Art". It is unfortunate, however, that DC is under rated and deserves the "action" of Marvel........ Until it comes to bidding on an extaordinary DC book...because I Will Lose Everytime....money is not the price a DC collector will pay (or any true collector)... I am generalizing here for the "unpopular" Marvels are akin to the DC network....... Not saying I prefer DC but do prefer the "no commercial" aspect of their grandness. ....and who is the most Unique Marvel Character? Marvel is perhaps the second leg of greatness to Comics......

    CGC OR BUST

    LET US REUNITE Over the past year or so I have submitted Very Many books that I perceived as 9.2 + (now I think different). I look at the front with an lcd or afternoon light at 45 to 60 degrees...Now I can see a bit better. Is it worth it? In my opinion, I am at a loss yet get excited to see the "reward". I recommend CGC do a Comic link thing....We return for profit and they benefit for reform. Why not? It would benefit towards the Sale Of "Overstreet" means nothing. PS...I pray they are not MERGED....

    FORUMS

    Intimate and Collected It is no wonder why collectors do not respond to FORUMS. Will there be a space where, We as collectors, may understand True friendship within this For Um? I am here for Passion yet feel no connection with IN VIEW. Let us become Vigilante for the sake of Our Connection.... To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  4. PRINTER OR BOOK? Interesting to me is that I find certain companies producing 9.9 to 10 more readily than I have found with Image (Walking Dead). Is this strategic malfunctioning business or a matter of bad printing? Tease me.... In this statement I feel ther are better printing companies which will, If Demanded, produce the Investing In The Read You Love. Let us commend the Prideful Printing Companies...they help cgc AND US To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  5. A Wake When I wake at times I find I am still dreaming. I am not dreaming yet I am reliving. I am alive though (in these moments) find a sense of transcending Dream..... Comic books have not only allowed me to dream, they have given me sight within my growth (or approach). I realize comic books have, and will continue to inspire my Psalms without Dreaming to imagine the moment I discovered I slept through knowing I am awake...... Cheers to visual reading.......

    I Back CGC

    I have never gotten a response Seems to be much frustration going out to CGC. Personally, I pay the extra 8 dollars for fast track if I want results (but this is from My Impatience). I have to say that CGC has always treated me fair and if it is for the collecting alone....Why not rest assured.....business sleeps as well. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  7. Collectors Unite I felt a need to express the beauty of black and white..... Firstly, as film goes, even Black and White's like Beauty and the Beast (1946...Jean Cocteau), Spellbound (1945... with Salvidor Dali work)...the list goes on.... even to more moderns as Dead Man and Eraserhead could not be as potent as a colorized film. Taking that into account (and classic old films) I feel that the Brain takes in the information as "black and white" where the hues and saturations will not get lost within the understanding or "translating". A few examples of popularity that come to mind are... Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles Walking Dead Vampirella Old Elfquest ....etc.... There becomes an almost timelessness to the stories..... Anyhow....just blogging to The You To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  8. If a cgc rated comic is SA labeled and the overstreet states (universal) as $500.00 Can anybody enlighten me on the value of a restored comic compared to a universal with the same grade? What if the restored grade has a Signature label....do they become equal as a universal grade? Please help......

    Kamandi

    Film worthy? I have yet to enter a journal entry to the true art collectors out there. I have been thinking that Kamandi might well be worthy of a Peter Jackson film. Kind of a Logans Run meets Tolkien film. Throw in an appearance of Superman with loads of visually striking elememts and Kamandi might well be our hero. I am going to read my set of Kamandi before sending to CGC to have the last look. Cheers, RL To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
