  1. I'll third that on Southern Bastards. Great book. I've enjoyed Wayward too.
  2. GIC 39 Anybody know who did the cover art? The Big 5 doesn't list the pre DC issues.
  3. A few recent pickups....condition is not the greatest, but at least I can read 'em. GIC 78 (One of my favorite covers of the series)
  4. Best things about this thread: talking about pizza and wishing there was a way to punch people through the interweb.
  5. Introducing All New Comic Book Coins! Now with even more retro feel Photoshopping. The reboot we have all been waiting for.
  6. Well there is that, but I was expecting more of a meltdown.
  7. Well at least JTBGood was polite about answering questions. He was wrong about his position, but he at least kept it classy.
  8. They can call this a coin or a cryptocurrency, but they're soliciting investors, investing in comics, issuing dividends, engaging in buybacks - it's an investment company as far as the SEC is concerned. I hope they have consulted a good securities lawyer because this looks flat-out illegal without complying with all the regulations in place. Oh, and any dividends are absolutely going to be taxable in the eyes of the IRS. this..... oh - and you should make sure to inform the comic shop that will be holding on to the books that they may be at significant risk. If the SEC, FTC, IRS or any of the regulatory agencies take a hard look at this - the store can/will get raided and ANY stock confiscated and potentially sold. Hope you guys formed an LLC as well - or bye bye to those personal assets. Cuz if that one guy from China shows up with 50% of the coins and demands to take half of the books and is refused....... you are now in the fraud playground. Ok, that is ridiculous both factually and regarding the law. Furthermore, those agencies are well aware of crypto and what is going on and have even made some comments about it. But, even if it what you said was remotely true, they sure won't be going after some lowly coin with $5,000 in comic books before all of those coins worth hundreds of millions of dollars (in Bitcoins case, billions) in people's hard earned money. And all they are offering is promises (in most cases). Look, I understand, many of you dislike this idea and only time will discover if you are correct in your assessment. But, to think that the SEC is going to start some huge crackdown on a coin worth $5,000 is just ludicrous and hyperbolic. The crypto world is what it is. If you don't like it, that is understandable and you are not alone. But, for many of us, it is a fun hobby (like comic books are) and it is enjoyable as it is. delekkerste, is correct in his assessment of what you are trying to do is essentially illegal. This is just not crypto, it is an investment looking for investors. You are going to need to do a whole lot of paperwork with the various regulators to get on the legal side of things.
  9. I thought this was joke at first it with the whole retro feel website...then I realized this guy was serious. Hey buy these sweet coins, and I buy sweet comics. Thanks, Bros! Not the first to the dumb and dumber bit, but it fits!
  10. I didn't see this one listed for DCU: GL 49 (one of my favorite GL covers)
  11. About this DC war... you'll find them in mystery box 45 and 46 Them DC War books are tough to find. I figure I'll finish my runs about the time I'm 70 and ready to sell every thing.
  12. I believe they all have Roman Numerals, except the 2005 MOS 17 19. Damn typo, meant to type 19 not 17.
  13. I believe they all have Roman Numerals, except the 2005 MOS 17 19.
  14. Well done on that find. I have yet to find anything decent on CL since I've returned to the hobby.
  15. Thanks I know I have at least 2 of the 4th and 5th printings, as for the rest 1st probably 10, 2nd's 5, 3rd also 5. For MOS 17 I have 6 more. 19's I have 3 of that one. Back when these issues first I worked for a comic/sports cards/mags/newspaper/p()rn store called Shinders in Blaine MN. I was one of the comic buyers for that store. Whenever a comic came out that had one of my favorite characters I would buy multiple issues. Well we never got in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th prints. But whenever I saw them. I would pick them up. I did buy a 1st print 9.8 of the 18 on the boards here. I have always loved the story, so I still buy them when I can get them for a great price. Shinders, that brings back some memories. Used to get my comics at the Maplewood store in the late 80s and early 90s. Before I found the Source and Hot Comics. Nice books as well.
  16. I finally scored at Half-Price Books! Went in last week and found new52 Batman 1-7 first prints for $1.50 each. I would say they are all about 9.6s maybe 9.8. And then to top it off my wife was looking through the quarter bin for Superman and found an Action 835 (2nd Livewire), its in great shape minus a thumb print on the cover, so prolly an 8.0. So I thought I better take a look in the quarter bin. I found a Alias #1 in about 9.4. Not bad for about 10 bucks total.
  17. Yeah Fury was an excellent movie. Worth seeing at the theater in my opinion.
  18. Not a frogman cover, but a recent GIC purchase. GIC110
  19. I would say the Walking Dead was the primary driver for getting me back into comics after being out for 15 years. But the Batman movies and Arrow helped push me back into it as well.
  20. Nice SSWS #90! I'm really getting into the "War that time forgot" issues. Who doesn't like dinosaurs + WWII.
