  1. Not another one. How many threads on 181’s price do we need?!
  2. Bought a great book for a fair price. Great communication and fast/secure shipping. Would not hesitate to do business with again. Thanks!
  3. Yes, too many variables to generalize...BUT the post-movie fall-off def. hits villain first appearance books more than hero first appearance books.
  4. I always found Peter's hair off-putting. Something about it felt off...
  5. I like Peters...music choice for that scene was perfect btw. Hoult, meh...
  6. Too many 300's too. And before people start preaching about increasing prices being irrefutable evidence that demand surpasses supply...there was a point in history where there was a tremendous amount of "demand" for tulip bulbs too. How'd that turn out?
  7. I don’t buy books with tape. They’re simply a hard stop for me. A mental barrier I can’t get past. Sometimes it puts me in a real pinch with scarce books, and I find myself wishing it didn’t bother me. So, obviously there are many who can cope. What are your thoughts? Did you never care? Did you hit a wall like me where, as your tastes matured and you transitioned into golden age, you simply had to accept tape in order to acquire some of your target books? Feel free to discuss other defects you struggled with, and softened on, over the years as well... Anddddd...go...
  8. I want to know which boardie this REALLY is....
  9. Done this on the road many a time, but never with a mayo jar. Water bottles have a very small margin for error, Gatorade is a little better...mayo would be great, but who the heck carries a mayo jar around (outside of Blob's dad).
  10. Different buyers have different preferences and turn-offs. Some of the most notable detractors for universal labels that some buyers will simply not buy (or at least not pay FMV for) are rust, tape, water damage, serious fading, writing on cover, marvel chipping, etc.... It's important to note that not everyone falls on their sword for the defects I noted, but some selectively do...and that can impact price, but not necessarily. Best answer I have for an unanswerable question...
  11. Ouch, of all books to get burned on..that's a doozy.
  12. The other studios sure seem to be figuring things out lately, each with their own style. Was only a matter of time I suppose. Some cross-pollination may be contributing as well.
  13. Please elaborate on the discount referenced that’s apparently linked to accepting returns...? Not tracking...
  14. Disclaimer, I don't know anything about SD1. However, google image produced various colors of the 3D portion of the title. The one showing in the lot you bought is blue, google image shows one with yellow, and another with white. Perhaps all four copies have different colors?
  15. Godfather meets mutants. Damn that makes me giddy just thinking about it...
  16. Pretty cool. He took it on the chin with class...seemingly moved on and kept quiet about it, but we all know it had to be eating him up inside. Happy for the guy, MCU IS his passion. Pretty rare to see a reversal like this these days... I'm assuming suicide squad and GotG3 don't conflict? Haven't reconciled their schedules... **Disregard. Came back to edit. I see now they are actively deconflicting. Apparently Disney is the one accommodating.**
  17. @Jaydee ELEPHANT COVER ALERT...very cool one at that...
  18. I'm guessing no. I don't think this is a FF48/49/50 situation, where 48 caught fire, then 49, and lastly 50. The draw for IH180 is Wolvie's first true appearance imo, and collateral gains will end there...
