  1. Are more people sick then previously or is it that people no longer have shame 🤷🏼‍♀️
  2. Of course. Just like the sharks of today. The hobby has always been about ROI for dealers. Advising a person that they need to keep the collection intact just rings so disingenuous and weird to me. Maybe there is simply something missing in the recounting of this story
  3. Did most big dealers at the time try to keep pedigree collections intact for the sake of some vague notions of historical posterity? Seems strange to me for one dealer to insist to another dealer to make a business decision of this sort.
  4. Introducing QES We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce QES, your newest tool to boost the potential of your comic investment collection portfolio. When you're considering spending a certain sum of your money on a comic, look to QES to give you the details third-party graders are simply not equipped to provide. "When third-party companies grade comic books, they simply supply them with overall grades, quickly naming some of the cons and defects. We know that doesn't cut it, collectors yearn to know more!" - QES At QES, every comic will be carefully evaluated to find its superior features, rather than allowing the comic's shortcomings to define its condition. If a book has a flawless spine, does a crease on the back cover erase the perfect spine from existence? Of course not. Look to the QES tamper-proof label as a sign of quality and distinction. It cuts through the clutter. The QES label communicates to collectors and investors alike that a book has positive qualities that make it superior to similar copies. The QES label is not just a label as it brings with it a series of criteria that justifies the label. These are the criteria that collectors and investors want and need to know. The criteria focus on decisive areas of a given book such as color strike, spine quality, cover edge quality, and staple placement to name a few. Collectors and investors want to know: Why this book? QES answers that question. Contact QES at info@QESComics.com with your list and mention TRYQESNOW for $100.00 credit towards QES services.

  6. Based on two accounts, sounds like he is in Florida. I took a picture of this Robert Bell in the doctors office. A side by side comparison, I thought it was the same guy.
  7. Oh good. I almost went up to him and asked. Glad I didn’t make a fool of myself.
  8. Was just in the doctors office in NY and the nurse called out for a Robert Bell. Is “our” Robert Bell still alive ?
  9. That’s the story Conrad had from ASM 8 with Spidey making a parachute
  10. Delayed but not forgotten .... Brexit approaches (eventually)

  12. Thank you for doing the survey. I found the final data was very informative and captured this moment in time. I give you lots of credit for running the survey on survey monkey, compiling the data, giving the board final results and still 🙂 when the board does its typical a@@-hole thing of spitting in ur eye for your efforts. God I hate so many of the people that post here.

  15. I think I remember when that Superman Ashcan sold for 90k. That must have been 2004 I think. Talk about a lousy investment.
  16. EGO. And Innuendo. Childish yes but I suppose that is human nature. ? It is kind of amusing though. Well, I’m amused ?. But I have a funny sense of humor.
