    Are my eyes going or is the same book listed in both of these listings from two different sellers? I'm assuming one of them snagged the photo from the other https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORBIDDEN-TALES-OF-DARK-MANSION-5/351833860532?hash=item51eaeea9b4:g:ZQoAAOSwvzRX0cod https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORBIDDEN-TALES-OF-DARK-MANSION-5/351833860532?hash=item51eaeea9b4:g:ZQoAAOSwvzRX0cod

    It's not sniping, it's just last second bidding.

    Is it weird that I've recently had the overwhelming urge to sell my entire comic collection and just collect horror magazines instead? I probably won't do that. Probably.

    I've never bought comics at Dragon Con, but this year I guess a few caught my eye. The Jo-Jo I actually won on Ebay recently with a very surprisingly low bid in a small lot of golden age comics. Seller wasn't aware, I guess *shrug*. The seller just shoveled the whole stack into a padded envelope, which my mail carrier subsequently shoved into my mailbox. By some miracle the only book I wanted wasn't damaged through all this. I'm gonna sell/trade it for a precode horror book if I can anyway. hint hint hint. My Thor solo title run is now seven books shy of being complete up to 256. And any Skywald fans out there?

    This book, and yep I still have it. Got it for like 7 bucks shipped if I remember correctly. Must have been around 2001 or so, maybe 2000 which is when I joined ebay. Not a big score, but I remember how fun it was to win it and get it in the mail. Somehow it is still my only copy.

    "This comic is POPPIN', fam! It's not one panel, it's two. TWO! Look at that spine, not a single flaw. Well like one little crease there on the corner but you can barely see it. What a perfect high grade easy NM+, maybe 9.8 if you squint but I don't have $30 to send to CGC to find out but you can buy it from me on ebay and then YOU can send it in because I guarantee it will be a high grade copy! Hit those long boxes because I really think this one is going to pay for your retirement and your kid's retirement, too. Run get it no hurry!"

    I bought a short box stuffed full of Thor comics, it was decent. I'd post more pics, but no one wants to scroll through images of one hundred and thirty Thor comics.

    Key Collector App: where anything notable about a comic book gets it listed as a key that every up and coming flipper should definitely buy for a dollar every time they see it, post on youtube that they bought it for a dollar and you should to, get it CGC'd 9.8 in preparation for the upcoming film/tv/new costume announcement, list on ebay for $40 for six straight months while the market matures, winning!

    Wouldn't be surprised if it does have a lowish print run compared to other bronze keys. It's just that speculation seems to have primarily been the driving factor in the price of the book. Sucks for actual fans as in high grades it is out of alot of budgets (and hard to find as you've pointed out). Good luck finding your upgrade! Maybe more will come out of the woodwork now after the show announcement.

    No amount of extreme fanboy explanations will ever justify the price for WWBN 32. He's not a character that's caught on in any meaningful way, and as pointed out he's been hyped for movie/tv adaptation for a long time now. I doubt the recently announced tv show will have any significant impact on an already way overpriced and hyped book, but I DO hope the show is good and entertaining. Not an expected addition to the Disney+ lineup, but I'll tune in and see what they do with the character. Can't wait for all of these shows. rawr!

    I've mad two purchases recently from Gene and both went very well. Books are great, well packed, and show up quick!

    tape and ink spots you see on a couple of these are on the outside of the mylar due to a pen mishap. thankfully it happened AFTER the bagging

    @ExacRan nice Parrillo sighting!

    How could you possibly interpret what I wrote with calling you a clown? I've done nothing but try to be helpful here!

    Get the keys and any other issues worth grading sent off to cgc. Seems like a relatively small investment to possibly drastically increase your chances of getting paid in the range you are hoping to be paid.

    to be fair, there are plenty of clowns out there.

    Please don't make this trade! And plan a cheaper wedding my gosh
