Fascinating... Just saw Chuck's email In before the crash

Sorry buddy, nobody allowed in.

Whew! What a week for this blessed nation; Nothing like a thousand protestors and honking cars in my neighborhood to remind me of the smallness of life. For a few moments it was that initial fear like REAL wilderness... that feeling of being out of one's element and suddenly lower on the food chain. As for comics... seller's market for many of my collectibles right now (e.g. Dr Aphra, Spawn, Freak Brothers to name three). The urge is to make want lists for picking smaller more obscure stuff. That moment a collector gets priced out of a collectible- it's happening to me right now on many fronts. Made $400 free and clear on a Make An Offer Heritage sale. It was a mistake drunken thrill bid in late 2018 and the second highest I had ever paid, so a nice moment. The process of the sale itself took over a month (less fun). Backed this cool ash Jim Rugg Octobriana blacklight comic on Kickstarter. This is the NEW NORMAL... $30 comics off Kickstarter More on Octobriana, the deep-state, counterintelligence Russian underground created by the CIA(??): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRqIYbg18sY Part of Rugg's project is to now do FOIA requests on the public domain character. Disc golf! I've played a few rounds, including 27 on Saturday... the more I play, the less I draw. Next paycheck I am going to print a few copies of my comic book for friends and family via Print on Demand. Finally, I've lost all the recent shoe Draws and Drops, including the Ben n Jerry's Chunky Dunky and the latest Travis Scott collaboration. That's OK... there's ALWAYS another shoe around the corner.

305 was his last issue. Among the Spawn fans on a FB group that I follow, he is only partially loved by fans of the title. After some Tan interim action, Ken Lashley takes over with 308

Basically submitting directly to CGC requires a paid membership above and beyond grading fees. Submitting through a third-party or directly on-site at a convention is a way for the average Joe to submit books.

This was one of the features I appreciated early on. I've been with Spawn since the beginning, but immediately went to college early in the run. This summary kept me connected with the story the first few years of haphazard collecting. It helped keep the plodding story accessible.

One thing that is lost but hinted at here is that it is all well and good to earn / buy a 9.9 or 10 slab, but yet another thing entirely to keep / store / sell / ship a 9.9 - 10. That sh *t gets in your head.

+1 for McFarlane on Spidey... We have the Overstreet cover, TMcF is amenable post- Covid. The only hurdle is The Mouse

New sneakers! Journo music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIR1XIzbr80 Bought some more sneaks… the first pair I’ve paid resale for and my first purchase off StockX (which I will talk more about soon): BaNG BaNG Giannis Antetokounmpo signature sneakers Silhouette: Zoom Freak 1 Colorway: All Bros 4 NBA 2k20 Gamer Exclusive To buy this shoe one had to: 1) Own and play NBA 2k20 proficiently enough to… 2) Win a MyPLAYER Nation game between April 11th and April 16th 3) Link your 2K and Nike accounts 4) Unlock access to a real-life pair of the Zoom Freak 1 'All Bros 4' GE. Like real basketball, I could not accomplish any of those things and thus went to the secondary market (the lady is the gamer in the fam and she doesn’t play sportgames). I really like this silhouette, as you will read, and this latest All Bros colorway is going in the personal collection. Also, the dam broke on disc golf and yesterday I threw Tendick Nature Park (18+2 holes) and Lime Kiln Park (9 holes). Next up- Stock X and quick shots of the personal collection (PC)

FYI a new Kickstarter for an 'outlaw' blacklight comic printed in florescent ink... $25 shipped for the book. Jim Rugg is part of the Cartoonist Kayfabe Youtube channel and it's no secret I am a fan of that channel. They've kinda invented two new terms "Outlaw comics" a more broad-brush attempt to capture alt underground, modern underground, auteur work and adapted "Kayfabe" from professional wrestling (the production or show of wrestling / comics).

Big two weeks for shoes that I am following... Lots of people watching / talking about the Last Dance documentary on ESPN. I have not seen it yet, probably not until it hits Netflix. I like the look of both shoes, but I did not try for either. The thing about sneaker collecting is that there is always another drop, another pair coming, with drops week after week. Jordan 5 Fire Red retros (general release but sold quickly and hotly). Jordan 1 Royal toe retros (Over 3500 pairs purchased at resale on StockX) As you can see, lots of movement on these shoes but people are buying them to wear and for their collections, so the margins are thin. Thin margins are a theme I am noticing in sneaker spec as the industry tries to control arbitrage.

Great question! It reminds me how I use feeBay has changed. Now when I go to feeBay it's usually to pay up for something I've missed locally. But my best deal was a Zap Comix #0 1st for $37 shipped that graded CGC 9.4 and sold for $900.

I tagged two knowledgeable posters to try and drum up discussion on your posting. 👍

Two dangleberries ... Ha ha ha

An 8 year old dangleberry!

Looks like he's trolling Buzz

Zach Hauser runs The Turning Page in Milwaukee, nephew of John Hauser longtime local show dealer.

Picked up Jim Mahfood's new 'mini comic' (I would normally call it) ... But this one's a monster tabloid sized, printed in Japan, manufactured without Staples.

Pete Davidson goes sneaker shopping... "They think we're stupid and 'oh look' we're gonna making them wear Dad shoes" The lady finds him creepy, I think he's moderately funny. I think he’s 100% - hundy P- on Dad shoes… I decide to strategically avoid Yeezys, chunky New Balance, Air Max reboots. What are your favorite shoes? What shoes do you remember getting as a kid?

These are the VERY next shoes that I will be sporting. Adidas jumped back into hoops the last two years in a big way and a recent APRIL codeword sale brought these down to $30. These are cheapie everyday kicks- first for walking, once broken in for disc golf. The chunky sole is good for toe-dragging on drives and synthetic upper should take a beating. I love Adidas Sambas and their soccer shoes (Copa Mundial, Classico, & Predator) were always the envy of my eye growing up. I had a pair of green Samba Super-suedes when I met my wife. She used to call me "Justin with the green shoes" vs another roommate Justin. But I haven't allowed myself a nice soccer shoe in forever, as basketball shoes seem to be more collectible / popular.
