Just a little post for some ebay auctions and BIN or Best Offer I have going... https://www.ebay.com/itm/375539832547?itmmeta=01J2Z9V4MAGKV6TBQ4XX0SCJ38&hash=item576feb16e3:g:8p8AAOSw1OtmjzQT&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABADGvgS%2B8s95Pc6LnK4tNtnKTodc4qR4v5RFUPbCq29KCSxU%2BKYR8K6CMtd7ZwwBhPI8BdM5D5wZaA8veXsBtP%2BeWImaAQChytfB0ULf5UcoZmPCiZ%2BPEfFQJnLQHDzdRLBliz9MIDu41rJKCWMOdHfbdD3y1yAMPMQyGVJFDp7NhenC%2FTR%2FMgkARPubgBxhYrq5G7rlE5ds33MB%2FzcIXpQKSTHimgbTVpqts0qGaSbg943f09lbEk7v%2BizOhekWN8uWWxjVUsYgZ5t97%2BENMyAiyHKlDFs47b07ubGSq9rCv0NKRXhKDvZKj6Zj3uOrWmDjX%2ByuIB6zWA3kxXVxMUog%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6DK7OmXZA

Fortunately, I have enough to sell to keep me busy for a while, so good there. And no, if I was not able to sell comics on the side, I would not stop collecting, just it would be very different in that my buying and ability to finish say, my ASM run would have a different outlook.

I decided a while ago, to solely focus on completing the ASM run (have a board journal on subject). Right now, I am only missing the following: AF #15, ASM #1,2,4,7,8,10,11,12,16,17,18,22,23,24,26,27,29,30,35,38. All of my buys are funded strictly through my side hustle of buying and selling other books. Nothing from the "household" / regular job funds my hobby other than my weekly pull list, which is basically just ASM at this point. I have also not really bought anything in a long time as I want to get a nice low-grade AF #15, then a respectable looking ASM #1 - But I am getting an "itch" to at least buy "something". The other side of the coin, I'm married with a young son...Part of me, even though the capital earned to buy say an AF #15 or ASM #1 (I could get one now) is all self-funded, I get a twinge of guilt over idea of spending that much on "myself". ...I just need to find an AF #15 at a garage sale

LOL, yes, I know. I just started dabbling in TCGs and CGC Cards uses a .5 grading scale EXCEPT they have a Gem Mint 10 and then the PRISTINE 10, which is also weird to me, you can have a more perfect perfect? ...And yes, I know they say they partly determine that under 10× magnification... But if the naked eye can't see it...? Maybe comics for a 9.9 or 10 should undergo a magnification test? Anyway, fun for us to debate and talk about!

I have no idea if it has been discussed, but personally, I find the whole concept of a 9.9, to be ridiculous. Why not have a grading scale that goes 9.6, 9.8, 10? How can any one "trust" that level of minutia to be applied consistently, between a 9.8 and even a 9.9 much less a 9.9 and a 10? Sure you would have some "soft" 10's, like any other grade, but then they could still be rare with clearer parameters. I have several 9.8's, especially modern ones with thicker card stock covers, and when I looked at several of them, I am like, how is this NOT a 9.9 or 10, even when looking at the guide. This is not sour grapes, just honestly, if it is NOT a 10, it should have notes, but notes are a whole other matter. Until robots / AI completely take over grading, maybe we should leave the .1 scale difference off the table . over

The first Crow was / is one of my favourite "super hero" movies. For some reason, this version of the Crow is giving me the Jared Leto Joker vibes.

These arrived just before Christmas...From JSC signing (obviously).

Same here. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but in my mind, easy to see why this bombed. 1. Ezra Miller. Even before his "shenanigan's" I found him to be very annoying in almost all of his movie roles. Worst casting in the Snyderverse. And we had "two" of him for most of the film. 2. Crappy effects and the baby scene. Honestly, that part almost made me want to stop right then and there. I know they were going for a neat way to show just how fast he is, but X-Men did it way better with better effects...The baby scene was just...Stupid. Oh and so was the "calorie counter" on his suit and watching him stuff his face. Played for jokes but wasn't funny. 3. They made Michael Keaton's Batman a joke at the beginning, some weirdo recluse with no background as to how he came to be that way. They give Nic Cage a primo cameo and nothing for Cavil? Disrespectful. 4. The story had some originality to it, but it was another super hero origin story with a dead parent angle. Too bad they didn't tie it somehow into the "Injustice" vision that Snyder had instead of what we got...But obviously couldn't do that without Cavil. 5. Throughout the whole film, you know that the story doesn't "matter". I know you could say that about lots of movies but a movie "built" on interconnectedness to a "dead" franchise, diminishes the investment in the character and story. Anyway, at best it was another average super hero movie with an unlikeable actor. Not even Michael Keaton could save it. ...I did however, again, like Affleck as Batman...Shame he won't get a solo flick as the caped crusader.

BP was also significantly different film as well, it was not just about the character of Black Panther, but it was also about showcasing an entire African civilization (with advanced technology) being portrayed, not just another youth (who happens to be Hispanic) getting super powers. The origin, story, marketing, etc., all completely different. At end of day for Blue Beetle, does race have anything to do with it? Or was it just another average super hero entry that just failed to grab the general public's attention in the shadow of the former DC movie-verse?

Minor issue compared to other things posted here but even though I noted it on submission form, CGC did not include this as a Newsstand on the label. Qualify for ME? Even if it does, I probably won't send back...Just curious for now.

Oh, I agree...I'd prefer it for the spotlight to just be on Tobey's Spidey. I am just saying it would be a WAY to do it (Introduce Spider-Gwen and Miles into live action) and if anyone could make a menacing Morlun, Raimi would be a good fit. As far as villains, yes, definitely could use a proper Scorpion as one of the classic villains not yet used. Kraven could have been cool choice too, but...While derivative of Green Goblin, I could even see a proper Hobgoblin being a good choice. Heck, maybe even the Chameleon. Point being, still lots of Spidey lore for Raimi to mine :).

I would honestly love it if they did a Spider-Man 4...I think audiences would definitely show up to movie theatres to see a Raimi/McGuire Spidey 4. There are still several untapped conventional and unconventional villains they could use too. Have an older Spidey with MJ, maybe add a child element...Or, introduce Morlun (Raimi could make him pretty freaky, I suspect), launch a live action Spider-Verse movie, intro live action Spider-Gwen and Miles, have Tobey be the "elder statesman"...Anyway, suffice to say, I think they still have ample material they could mine for a solid Raimi/Tobey Spidey 4.

Hello! Just a friendly announcement that I (more_fun_comics on eBay) have a modern Star Wars themed auction up and running, ending on Monday. STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC (2008) #25 CGC 9.8! FIRST CELESTE MORNE! | eBay Other items up as well as BIN with Best Offer available. Yes, I do combine shipping. Any questions, just ask. Thanks for looking!

THANK YOU!

For the my most recent submission, the corners of the cases of 2 books were smashed upon arrival. CS was notified pretty much immediately and after a bit of confusion, I was provided with a return shipping label being from Canada. Form completed and shipped the books back promptly. Appeared in my submission tracker today and this evening my credit charge was charged $80 USD. Is this an accounting/classification error? I thought the ME should be all at CGC's expense? I can provide submission #, etc.

Question for @CGC Mike For the my most recent submission, the corners of the cases of 2 books were smashed upon arrival. CS was notified and they provided a return shipping label being from Canada. Form completed and shipped the books back promptly. Appeared in my submission tracker today and this evening my cc was charged $80 USD. What gives? Is this an accounting error? I thought the ME should be all at CGC's expense? Thanks!

I'm going to try to start posting a bit more regularly...Here are some other books back, all FS except the ASM 102. Results mixed. Some a little higher than expected Some a little lower but overall pleased. Sales will continue to be primarily driven through eBay but I still do have the odd local customer buy and a rare buy from Instagram.

Books back from CGC the Ghost Rider 1 has already sold to a local customer. Not bad for less than total $50 spend!
