    These are mine!!

    By flikhype,

    A vengeful kid grew up...
    I grew up poor and not being able to have my own toys and comics, always having to get what the other kids discarded.
    Now, I am able to get more!!!!! And no one is taking them away from me!!!!! (er...unless they offer me a good price.)

    PS. Glad to have my childhood dreams still living.

    Itchy fingers me acquired a book cheaply without COA. "even with COA these days are quite easily counterfeited" but....what the heck I thought.
    It's like something so good I cannot let it passed by. But can someone actually verify these 2 signatures?
    [Joe Pruett (writer)]
    [Mark Texeira (penciler)]
    Am I right to identify these 2 signatures? Please share your views. Thanks.

    The newest Xmen

    By flikhype,

    Abbey Road?
    Ever since I came back to collection,it's been fast and furious. But...somehow...I still find my liking lies with the old school way of comics when everything else was hand drawn. These days,everything was CGI-ed. That's sad...
    However,I found fond of these 2 covers. Always dreamt of an all-female X-team and the Abbey rd combo was just hilarious and too good to not keep a copy. It was a bonus to get both signed.

    What a coincidence...

    By flikhype,

    Just like striking lottery, without any cash reward that is.
    It's not everyday you get the raw and a slab of the same title to come through the mail on the same day. From different seller of course.
    Wish I'd be that lucky with the next lottery...

    the constant nagging and all...
    Woman, she does not understand the passion of a man. Not that I'm a chauvinist, I love my wife. I respect every female walking the planet. But pls respect mine.
    Been working 12-18hrs straight a day, sometime you just want to steal some time away to look at things you could never afford when you were a kid.
    You get:
    - to relive a dream
    - to feel alive when keeping a passion and a hobby
    - to stay away from other more evil temptation....
    - to make new friends from all around the world
    - to learn about other unique cultures
    - to receive nice little gift like the one attached.
    I'm not spending away our retirement fund honey... I just want to buy comics...

    I know this is not a very fantastic issue, not a super key, but it is my first copy with signatures of 2 of my favourites.
    Absolutely wonderful to the start of the weekend.

    Mutation - What a Beauty

    By flikhype,

    Mutants never look this beautiful....
    I'm an old fart who never believe in the new way of creating comics. I still love the smell of ink on paper that would turn yellow with time...till I met these 2 babies....I thought to myself that maybe I should evolve with time...
    What do you think?

    CGC DIY

    By flikhype,

    Self acrylicalisation
    Recently I start buying signed raws. I was once told by an experienced collector - any signed raw with a COA is just vandalised scribbles that depreciate the value of the book.
    I deviated on the lecture, and found a nice frame to seal it up, DIY style. And it doesn't look half bad! And it's cheaper too. heh.
    Think I will try selling it and see if it fetches the same dollars as the acrylic ones....

    Slight improvement from last year...
    We finally see artists being invited over for signature sessions and a company authorised to witness signings for CGC...
     
    But of course, we love more of the coplayers and the ladies...
     
    Here's 2 of the many...
     
     
     
    (hope next year would be better)

    How many pages

    By flikhype,

    What are the pages of your comics?
    I'm 40 this year. Been reading and collecting comics leisurely since 5.
    I'm selling off some undercopies lately and today a potential buyer posted me a question that totally pulled me off the chair and told me I'm not a comic fanatic after all.
    "How many pages are there in your comics?"
    I....I am dumbfounded.
    Not sure why, but a little voice in me was telling me to throw a cake in his face...

    X-Men in Hong Kong

    By flikhype,

    Comics bring the World together!!
    Many friends help make this come true. And as I was told, Stan the man was staring hard at it and asked if we have another copy available.
    And this is the one and only in the world currently, and I am proud.
    Thank you all.
