First of all how are you keeping Steve, it's nice to see you still posting. I also watched all three specials and while it was nice seeing David Catherine and Bernard I have to agree with you it lacked any charm. I was reminded of the Spider-man Clone saga and the Peter and Ben parting. Peter you can go live your life and take MJ with you, as you deserve a rest and I'll handle what comes next. Seriously I've lived my own life NEVER caring or even thinking about "waken" but these specials were a tale to far. Can you imagine little Jimmy handing in his homework claiming that Newton was of the Asian race.

I've been away for a while due to family matters but I must post a comment on this thread. First of all I won't believe it until @Get Marwood & I starts a UK variant thread I had hundreds of horror and sci-fi tapes gifted to me by a friend most of them still sealed, I encapsulated them in my local landfill! Funny enough the only sealed VHS I have is a copy of the Exorcist with the banned BBC documentary, it's a film I have no desire to ever watch. .

And please don't call me Shirley! As for the Jigsaw I would just say it was lost in the post as it's a beauty. Seriously, as I was summoned to appear unfortunately I'm still very busy but I wish you all the best also hello Steve my friend. -
I see the buyer has a 4.0 maybe he sweetened the pot with a trade, however good luck to both. I'm of the opinion that if I were to come across an AF15, even though I don't have one that I would hold it for a day or two then sell. I know I'm probably in the minority but a comic is a COMIC.

Thoughts on regrading older slabs
tv horror replied to Cornelius The First 's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I recently watched a Youtube video were the guy would crack these cases open and showed you how. What shocked me was that CGC does not heat seal the comics anymore but just places mylites on the front and back, what gets me is will thee last as long? -

tv horror replied to kav's topic in Comics General
I'm collecting the Batman Golden age omnibus' and it would be nice to know when they end and the Silver age starts. -
Spider-man Has a new costume Next Year Do you like it ?
tv horror replied to siro123's topic in Comics General
I hated that character as well as the Puma and Alpha WHAT were you thinking Marvel? -
Spider-man Has a new costume Next Year Do you like it ?
tv horror replied to siro123's topic in Comics General
That was the only idea I liked from the latest Spidey run that the Hobgoblin was running an industry on Super costumes, it made so much sense as he was already involved in the fashion industry. However I do agree it does look like the stealth suit, at least until Spider-Man's new film. . -

TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY THAT IS THE QUESTION WITH MODERNS
tv horror replied to tv horror's topic in Comics General
His book did not raise in value until the Spiderverse movie so it is debatable if it will keep its value. I also agree about the Youtube videos and I do enjoy them. -
Steve that was a brilliant posting I really enjoyed reading it and agree fully. As for sharing your collection I've had the same problem that is unless my home needs work done by workmen! There has been a few times were the central heating needed repaired and as my collection is built onto my walls the radiator had to be removed. So the manager comes to my room to look at the radiator that needs replace on Monday morning, then on Tuesday four workmen turn up for one radiator? By Friday I got curious and asked one of them why they needed so many workers and his answer was "We all heard about some guys crazy collection!!!!!!!!!"

I have been wondering lately after watching numerous Youtube videos that the modern run of comics is worthless! Yes I can hear your shock but hear me out, unless a comic is limited in its run I believe that there would be thousands of 9.8's and to inflate certain prices is nonsense. Personally I would rather invest in an older first appearance than a modern for two reasons: One that there are fewer copies and two they are better comics in general both in art and story. Maybe I'm alone in this thought but it does make sense, now if you are only going to flip the moderns please feel free. Another trend I've noticed through the video's is that nearly all of them want bargains and are NOT prepared to pay full market value and again have to show off the same canon of popular covers. That's another reason I'm convinced that comics from say 1970 onwards are everywhere if you're prepared to hunt, it makes me laugh when I hear one of them claiming "I bought Hulk 181 for a dollar!" Then during the same video claiming that it is worth X amount of Dollars?Have any of the other forum members an opinion, thanks for reading?

I'll try but it might take me a bit of time as I've watched hundreds of video's, just to be clear Ross was not mentioned only modern artists. -

I was watching a recent You Tube video were it states that artists in the present era are not allowed to use real locations in their work in case they are sued! Ross would have been in court his entire run. -
And I thought that my old run of Spider-man was amazing...Great Caesar's ghost I can't even imagine what that would look like, what numbers are you missing?

Yes but was it a Spideymobile?

As I sit in my Crypt reading all your very interesting responses I would like to add my own. I've been reading comics since I was 5 years old the first year I was just drooling over the drawings and I can even remember "reading" my first comic which was a Beano U.K comic, I realised then that I lost something maybe it was the magic who knows but it never stopped me. I loved the thrill of waiting on the next issue coming out and remember these were all black and white reprints back in the Sixties and Seventies but I loved them all. At first back then in the early 60's I had maybe four friend or at least kids I knew who collected the same issue and if I were to miss an issue I would move Hell and high water to get that copy of them by hook or by hook, yes I was relentless! However it "HAD" to be done, my run would be kept under my bed and like Fagin I browse over my treasures nightly before bedtime that was the special time getting to read the new adventures of say Batman or any Superhero. Then as I grew older in my teenage years I discovered horror and that has been my love since then, however I've only got two long distance friends in which I share my passion by phone! Yes they have never seen my collection due to me sharing my home with my older brothers and sisters and I respect their privacy. As for comics I did get back into collecting during the mid eighties due to my nephew expressing an interest in buying a Spider-man run, as I travelled around flea markets and such buying up everything they had my nephew lost interest and I was left with about one hundred copies of comics that I had once loved, what to do? I confess that I loved the hunt more than the comics and looking through those long boxes was quite a thrill. Then we move to present day I'm now three issues short of a complete run of ALL the Spidey titles less AF15 Amazing 1,2 yet I now find that they are all STUFF even my horror collection and nobody else in the family is interested so it looks like the dumpster for them. Lately I have found more interest in watching people show their collections on You tube and have a right few laughs at the "experts", there was one I was watching last night that had gotten a short box full of comics for free from his cousins? Well as he went through this box of what some on the forum would call drek, he announces that this one is worth $600 and this one $95 "Oh I might send this one to CGC...Nah maybe not?" Yes TV Horror gets his jollies from You Tube meanwhile I still love going through my stuff as it is my STUFF!!!!!!!!!! So yes I can well understand how some of you are feeling so go ahead show your collections on You tube before you pop your clogs at least you might earn a few dollars along the way, phew this is a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng post, stay safe.
