I have not been active on the boards for a few years, but am thinking about buying and selling again. In terms of showing past buy experiences, is there a way to see which buys and sales I have had? This is to make it easier to deal going from here.

1.5-1.8

There’s no paper quality on that slab?

Would be interesting to hear how this was solved?

Any new club members?

About 1400 raw and 140 slabbed

I own all three. The origin (54), the first appearance as a team (60), and first in own title (1).

With an actual team being formed comes a structure (members and membership), a name et cetera. Just some random friends fighting some threat does not make that a team. They become a team the day they decided "hey, it was nice fighting with you guys - why don't we consider forming a team? Ok, who should be included? Well, Wonder Girl should be a founding member, Robin et cetera..". in 54 there was no team. Those were events that led to the formation of TT later (somewhere in the time between 54 and 60). In a sense, 54 is the first part of JLA 9 (where there is a common threat), and 60 is the later part of JLA 9 (where JLA actually is established).

If there were hundreds of appearances afterward of the Metal Men/Atom team, then yes, that would be their first appearance. No it wouldn't be. You don't even know if a team exists at this point, let alone if they have a name or whom the roster consists of. Best watch yourself, Sir. You are making a very strong argument for the 60. That's where we fundamentally disagree, as I've said repeatedly in this thread. I don't care when they get a name, and I don't care if we know a team exits at the time that they first gather to defeat a bad guy. Their first adventure is their first appearance. That might be called the first Metal Men / Atom team-up. However, if they later form a team (with a name obviously) then that would have another first appearance. Larry Page and Sergey Brin might have sold road-side juice together years before Google exited, but Google was not founded until Google actually got founded - regardless of whether those two had worked together earlier or not. Similarly, some of the people in TT (not even all of people who would later found TT was there) could have worked together earlier than founding TT, but TT was not founded until it was actually founded... which did not happen in 54, but rather happened 'after' that event. Therefore the first appearance of TT logically happened in 60. By the way, the interesting thing is that 54 is actually the origin of TT. The events that took place in 54 prompted them to form TT. Chronologically having the origin before the foundation is like these things happen in real life. However, in comics we have gotten used to this sequence very often being the other way around. A group is introduced, and later the origin (which obviously happened before the foundation) is explained.

Where's the combo?

I have most SA keys, but if I was to be buried with one like the Egyptians then it would be my BB28. Simply like that.

worldwide, i never speak about the US market as it doesnt matter, all that matters is the actual total a movie makes, versus its budget I agree. It's nonsensical to put much emphasis on US market numbers when world market is of course what matters.

+1 I think this will be the movie that starts the super hero movie bubble to pop. MARVEL productions will be fine, but future WB/DC films will be hurt. Actually, my money is on Ant-Man being the first new wave super hero movie to tank. Based on the bad trailers (especially the weak one leading into Avengers AoU), it is the first Marvel movie I am debating going to. My kids do not want to see it, and a couple of comic/sci-fi buddies with kids are planning on skipping it as well. GotG looked cool in the trailers, while Ant-Man looks blah. I thought the same thing. Ant-man looked lame.

I agree. That is the big legacy of Stan and I guess Feige now.... that they have a master plan. The Marvel cinematic universe just seems to be coming together better and better. I really hope DC has or gets such a plan. There are signs that it could be ... at least they are spotlighting many heroes that could be part of a bigger picture... Atom is front of the heroes of tomorrow... and could (imo should) quickly go into JLA... maybe (would be cool) JLA in time becomes the uniting element in the DC cinematic universe?

I'm more interested in Suicide Squad than Harley...
