No I was only joking.. but imagine the bad luck!! i did subscribe to batman when I was a kid however, and it ended with 365

Yup I remember it was kind of like a black robocop right? There was a panel when he takes off his glove and shows his skin color to a racist which is quite memorable

My subscription to IH ended with #180 does that count?

Killing joke is kind of a sad joke right now. My copy is sitting there at a 35 BIN with no takes. There were times when this book would fly for $50. Now not so much

the whole point maybe is to find out how many comic creators out there actually dont have their books

Trollords! f___ yeah!!

Correct : the book is heating up Also correct: we live in dangerous times when it comes to speculation correcrion: very very very dangerous times

Start small and grow with it. My first collection was bought some 7 years ago.. I spent $25 on it and sold it for $100.. then I bought a $100 collection and flipped for $300. Eventually I found that tripling my investment money is THE LEAST amount I would expect to gain from a purchase. Sometimes it would be much much higher, but rarely would it be lower. After establishing credible sales continuously, I implemented another rule: never spend more than a 1/3 from the profits of the previous month sales. So if I earned $4500 in sales in February, I would set a budget of UP TO $1500 for March. And of course I would carry over any amounts to following months if applicable. I managed to acquire hundreds of collections in just a few years. My selling objectives are selling current trend books and keeping established keys for retirement. You can afford to do just that when you have a collection this size assuming it's diversified and you spent ample time organizing it. Everything else just falls into place logically, it took me a couple of years until I decided to grade my books, as well as gain knowledge into what to grade and what not to grade. But the most important thing for me is to always budget it appropriately first. Good luck

Did you have any artist/creator who bought a book he/she participated in creatively? I had Dennis Cowan who bought Alter Ego from me. Also, Solson publisher bought a copy of How To Become A Comic Book Artist by R Buckler

This GLWTW

mile high comics still offers a comprehensive list of all the new titles coming out every month to their subscribers. But just like any store, they will hype up the books they ordered high on, that has always been the case for decades for the lesser known stuff (like store/artist exclusive variants for example) I recommend IG or FB. Subscribing to a few comic book pages/users will result in a healthy news feed that you can check periodically and u can decide what appeals to you or not. After time, you can weed out the ones that just list garbage and stick to the users that are efficient to your search needs

The reason why some final issues are expensive is because the book was not selling well to begin with. A book like this was selling rather well and was most likely overprinted. So a good comparison would probably be new mutants 100

Does Chuck clue you in into how many current new titles subscribers he has? back in the 80s he held a solid share of the market both here and overseas. I would imagine that, just like many of the industry giants, that has shifted to back issues? the reason why I'm saying this is because back then, he would offer MAJOR deals on back issues. On almost every catalog he would slash items down to pennies on the dollar on back issues. But me and most of my friends were only interested in new books. Nowadays the emphasis is on the secondary market with collectors seeking books that are either hyped or are established keys. And if that took a direct hit on new book sales for Chuck, then hence the reason for him charging higher prices on inventory

do u know that die in Hebrew means enough? One day a Israeli dude told me to die when I was parking too close to his car yadda yadda yadda he was in a hospital with 4 stitches and broken bones

It's because of you that I cringe every time I see an ASM129 #kavaholicAnonymous #Iwantmylifeback

Leave my mandals out of this!

I can think of many other unethical things to complain about. Here are a few my wife listed: not washing the dishes after supper... leaving my slippers all over the house.... singing too loud in the shower... argue with her mom about politics... taking less than 2 minutes in bed... not doing the bed after..... as you can see.. plenty of unethicality there

I do have 2 copies of 1 tho.. oh well

No worse feeling than selling a book before the hype for a fraction of its price now (sandman 8), and not only that, but later on realizing you have a whole set of the title (1-75) with only that one missing

If there's no variant I REFUSE to read it

Damn is that really the cover? I thought it was just one seller being creative with the image of the book. Another question is why wasn't there a variant for issue 6? Seems like there were variants for all previous issues

É Finita la Commedia

And then there are the bootleggers who distribute them for free. Whoever thought it's gonna be a crime to actually buy comics 🙄

Me too

"Well we know you're not happy with the way your favorite characters are depicted on film and TV, but HONESTLY it's not our fault! It's the TV/film producers fault!! But fear not! We've decided to hire the TV/film producer guy to make changes to our ENTIRE marvel universe, so now you don't have to worry about them changing in the movies!!"
