Basically I am trying to take advantage of not driving 300 miles a week for work and using that to buy books with

the package that was in limbo for 5 days, has finally had an update, yay!

I went looking for that and found this instead. I mean it was $32 so I got it

agreed, so much so I just bought one myself

i ended up completing a missing package search today since you have to wait 7 business days which it has been over that now. I let the seller know I did that too and will update them when I get more info

Okay these came in the mail today

I don't know if there will be a big change in it, but I have already seen updated listings for swamp thing 2 to reflect the new announcement for the justice league dark series

Today was the first item I had that was marked arriving late. It was sent media mail. It was scheduled for today but I guess it won’t be now

I’m trying to score me one right now

that's where I play my drum set at most of the time. guaranteed playing time and I don't have to be out till like 2 am for it.

I can't say I regret it at all. I use that drum every week I play(well not right now) and it's been part of my sound for years. Interestingly yamaha quit making their drums in Japan so it's not in production any longer so has increased in value some. well sounds like the bone worked out for you. Once this is all done, I seriously reccommend if you have one around, to do a community band. I play in one and its great. keeps your skills up or helps to regain those skills

I was born in April 1981 so I have you beat by a few months Adamantium! while not traditional comics, my first comic exposure where the mini books that came with the masters of the universe figures. I recall being not quite 3 and getting my first MOTU figure, whiplash, and it of course came with a mini comic. while I didn't read then, I kept them all together. I eventually learned to read them, but it was going to be a while before I got my first actual comic book. TMNT was on fox and so I saw a comic available in a store, it was TMNT 26, which came out in 1989. I discovered very quickly this was not like the show, I mean it had profanity and was violent. I kept that from my parents who would not have liked to hear about that. the next comic I bought was a few months later and it was at a long gone local grocery store called AtoZ here in WV. the issue was wolverine 23. the cover looked awesome and I read that thing over and over. It would be a little while before I would get a more comics, and I went big. I was in 7th grade and a classmate had wolverine issues 1-20 and wanted to sell them. they were $20. I was able to get them and kept them maybe 6 months, where I flipped them to get other stuff. I was starting early This is also around the time that superman 75 had come out and so I had to get that and there were other early 90s books that I was buying then too like the spiderman 1 mcfarlane book, that Kirby book he did for topps By the time I was out of middle school, I was getting into MTG and there was a local comic store here in Hurricane that sold cards. I was all about the cards, but going there all the time, got me into buying comics too. I started wanting to get all the knightfall storyline. It was tough as at the store didnt have everything so I was left without the whole arc. I was getting some image books too like spawn and gen 13 as well. When the store closed in 1997, I sort of got out of comics and mtg for a bit too. It was going to be a while before I bought anything again. I was in college, graduate school actually, and saw something about the civil war story arc and decided to get on that. It had already started coming out, so got all the back issues, and began my path to get every book in the arc. around that time, I started working on a wolverine run, buying the original series and everything up to the current series as well. I got to the final issue of civil war when it came out, read the ending, and pretty much started to sell the series, it was soooo lame of an ending. I ended up working on ultimate spiderman, and got that run complete, only to sell it. I sold the wolverine books too. I had at that point the 4 issue mini series, vol 1, vol 2 and vol 3 complete but sold it when the storyline wolverine in hell came out. it was too over the top. not long afterwards a new comic store opened, right near my house too, like 5 min away. I was actually their first customer and was there nearly every day. I started buying the blackest night story arc. I like big arcs I guess. during that time, the store got in a book, I had always wanted, a hulk 181. Only issue is it sold right away, but they still had it on hand as the buyer was making payments. well turns out he flaked out and I got a chance to get it. It was probably a 4. I had it. well around this time, I also started to drum again(played in high school and college) but began drum set. I wanted a new snare, man was it nice. yamaha vintage maple series, vintage brown finish, so I sold the hulk (still have the snare, still love it) that comic store eventually closed too. Around this time I learned about new 52 and how great batman was. I started buying them. they were great, then I sold them, don't really remember why. I jump around hobbies a bunch so that was probably it. I bought them again though, as well as started to read on this forum as well. my first graded book ended up being a new mutants 98 9.4. that started a dangerous road. I would buy and sell more stuff culminating in 2016 when I bowed out. It was earlier this year, I jumped back on the wagon, with detective comics 880 as my first regraded book. I have 9 now plus more raw books that I hope to grade. I should mention, when I do send them off, it will be my first submission

Okay so I live in WV and about 45 min from me in Ashland KY is a place called superhero creamery. it’s a comic store/ice cream parlor. Now I have never been but I am told it gets lots of traffic

Two things up for the day

Gus was great to work with. He allowed a sale through a closed listing when I asked about a book, and gave me a good price thanks!

This just came today from capt hook

so far, everything I have been getting has been fairly normal. I did have a priority mail package on the day it was supposed to be delivered scan as arrived at a post office only 20 miles away from the originator, but moved fairly quickly after that to me on a 3rd day. I have a media mail that is supposed to be arriving on the 17th that was first mailed on the 10th.

I don't know. It wasn't bullion but older collectible coinage. It was a little too slow for the seller, though he ended up buying an additional 20lbs in silver coins from me, so it worked out

Yeah registered is quite slow. I sent a buyer once 20 lbs of silver coins via registered mail. It took 2 weeks for it to arrive with the first week not moving at all

I don’t think so but I wasn’t really looking either here’s what are available DC books Marvel

I saw there were a bunch of different covers available. If I were to get one, it would probably be the tec 31.

I posted this in the horror thread but just got this. The seller indicated it was a single owner book

Yeah if they look clean I am all in. Right now I can get them pretty cheap, but I suspect that won’t last too long

Okay so I decided to get this one. Book looked nice and I got it for a good deal. The listing indicated it was a single owner book

This is vey intriguing. It’s amazing this exists
