  1. New round of Parrillo auctions went live this weekend. More Vampirella, a bit of Warlord of Mars, some Queen Sonja. Oh yes, oh yes! https://www.ebay.com/sch/speedcake/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
  2. I’m glad you all find this very serious issue as entertaining as you do. I assure you it is no laughing matter! stop laughing!
  3. Where do I even begin looking if I'm in the market for a raw Good to Good/Very Good X-Men 1? I don't really want a slabbed copy, partly because of the extra cost and also I just don't collect slabs. I wanna join the club
  4. My dad loves to remind me all the time about him being an Air Force brat living on bases in Europe throughout the 60s and how he had to leave behind years and years worth of Marvel and DC comics when my grandfather finally got reassigned to a U.S. base. He was heavier into Superman and Batman than Marvel stuff, but still had loads of very early Marvel super-hero stuff. I try to avoid telling him about the small island he could own now if he'd have persuaded his mom to not force him to give his comics away to a neighbor boy. oh well.
  5. The buyer didn't actually send the comic back, not even the wrong copy, just a piece of cardboard? Oof
  6. YOU HEARD ME! Please, please won't you all think of the children of the atom and stop with the endless sales threads filled with fantastic books at wonderful prices that tempt myself, and others I am sure, who are trying to be very very good to not upset our wives or significant others? I know its tough during the pandemic and there isn't much else to do after burning through Netflix watch lists or the latest bottle of fine whiskey, but come on...come on. Come on. Please. Just come on and cool it. Cool it, won't you? Cool it. Please.
  7. I think I found the seller. They are from where I grew up. Shameful scammer, looks like.
  8. I haven't been over to that part of town since they opened the new mall at Hudson Yards.
  9. The wheel is great. I got a nice little deal first time I tired it and then got a couple of friends to try it out. They were both happy with their deals as well. I do forget to check in to see what’s newly added, though.
  10. I thought I was going batty wondering how the suggested grades were lower, but then looked again and oooooh I see. 5.5 ish for me.
  11. Heck yeah. that's the way to collect modern variants, for sure. Good job.
  12. You guys gotta tell us what kind of deal you got on those sweet books or we are going to assume you paid 300% over market price for everything.
  13. I've only seen maybe one of those before, but I'm guessing that for thirty bucks you got a heck of a deal.
  14. That's pretty neat. Morbid and neat.
