  1. I think so? I've been much happier since I dropped my weekly pull list, purged moderns from my collection, and at least focused on Silver and early Bronze age Marvel (and DC horror), but I find it incredibly hard to narrow my focus further than that for long. I have ADHD that is at times pretty severe, so while I can maintain interest in a broad subject (comics) I cannot easily focus on completing say one run at a time or collecting one sub-genre, etc. I'm way too compulsive and unorganized. But keeping my collecting mostly within a certain era, while hard for me to do, is helping. There are enough sub-genres to spaz out on within the Silver/Bronze Marvel segment of the hobby to satisfy my dumb incorrectly wired brain. I can jump between horror mags/comics, super-hero books, specific artists, or something else to my heart's delight and still love them all. Of course, my one real goal is to have a complete X-Men run at least up to 144. I chip away at it here or there, but I know that if I could achieve the kind of focus a normal person can I'd have finished it long ago. So that's frustrating, but I'll get there eventually. All in all though, yeah I'm happy with how my collection is going. I don't think I could ever narrow my collecting down too much, so I just try to buy quality copies of comics within my chosen genres/eras and do my best to stick to that. I don't know why this question was so hard for me to answer.
  2. It isn't an insult. I didn't call him personally anything. I was describing his actions.
  3. I don't even care of Shoo turns out to have sent the book back, I won't sell to him now just based on the completely irrational and ridiculous emotional outburst over the sig required. I do not have enough time in my day to worry about dealing with that kind of childishness. I hope both parties are able to work this out, or if one was wronged I hope they find restitution. Good luck with this mess.
  4. Yeah it definitely has a more gothic horror feel vs the campy covers of most of the rest of these. I love those, too but this one stands apart I agree.
  5. thx! Won a few on ebay recently and was very happy with the condition of this one. The others were lower grade. Still nice copies for sure, but this one was a surprise and a keeper.
  6. Man that thing really is a rag and a half. If the interior was clean/non stained and sharp it'd be maybe a little better. But its not. Ew.
  7. Everything is posted, recap on page 1 and I’ve lowered prices on a bunch of what’s left. Thx for checking it out I’m closing the thread tomorrow morning.
  8. Thanks everyone for the additional takes and for checking out the thread. I hope that even if you haven't bought something you are more interested in the wonderful art of Lucio Parrillo I've updated the recap and slashed a bunch of prices. Consider this the last call. I'll be closing the thread early tomorrow and moving these on to the next venue.
  9. Rules? Shipping? payment? Return policy? Those are beauties! GLWTS
  10. I think the seller would for sure get more than that in a proper auction. I wouldn't want it, either but 100% guaranteed plenty of people would try for it.
  11. Oops found a couple more: Guardians of the Galaxy #1 glow in the dark variant! It actually does look cool $15
