    CLOSED! Kramerica's 2024 Festivus Sale!

    oh and @Kramerica - Your babies are going to a good home - that's a Preacher Promise.

    I mayyyyy not take their love-sessions QUITE as far as Sir @dover, but they'll feel the love, guaranteed.

    To make you feel all warm and cozy inside here are some TRUE details about my comic collection.

    1. I read all my books cover to cover at least once (typically multiple times).

    2. I view them often and always make sure they are in the raw so I can enjoy all their pages. After all, isn't it "what's on the inside that counts"?

    3. I find reasons to "reorganize" them, typically on a bimonthly basis. I rarely "finish" reorganizing them because I am often too distracted by this book or that book - and get lost in reading sessions that are truly in another dimension.

    4. As a result of this process, I think I may be one of the few who actually appreciates comic book STORIES over comic book ART - though both are of course essential and amazing.

    5. I made the mistake of selling my loved ones (funny books) ONCE before about 10 years back (to some of these same boardies actually) - never again, never again....especially given my "one-that got away" book that @Changer now has in his possession.  It STILL stings to think about  that one. Nice pull from that man - very nice pull.

    6. I love comics for many reasons, including the a) hidden Jewish heritage of the Marvel SA artists and how it influenced their character development and story-lines, b) the way Timely, Nedor, and others depicted the American sentiments during WWII - their is truth in those pages that one would be hard-pressed to find in today's censored world, c) the ubiquitous nature of the struggling hero and can-do attitude, d) the way some high-grade (and RAW) SA and BA books almost taste sweet to my eyes, e) the PEOPLE who you meet in this strange place called the boards and the YTCC (shout-out to days gone by).

    In closing (now that I have authored a true preach session)....

    There are MANY on here who value the collection you've put together man - and these are just your dupes and non-essentials! I'm having a lot of fun just imagining the wonders that still reside deep in the dark depths of the Kramer closet...

    Wait...today is Wednesday? For the love of Phoebe Cates I've lost all sense of time and space and am drifting aimlessly into a dimension where I have no date for Valentine's Day, I'm a full time nurse, I've lost my job, the Seahawks fired Pete Carroll and they are remaking "Roadhouse." Oh wait, that's not a different dimension. That's here. Ugh. My life blows.

    Sheeeeeeeiiiiiiiitttttt, homie...someone give this man a cookie!

    Being a full-time nurse (at home with a loved one) = soooooo much harder than a corporate job. Been there. Done both. I do not envy your current situation. It is a MIND F$#&. Full stop.

    As for Pete Carroll woes - you're on your own there, no matter how dire the situation  - I. hate. that. man.

    But ya...This too, shall pass man, this too shall pass...

    Feeling for you just a few miles up North.

    Well. Looks like you have a conundrumum. What if you asked if you could postpone Valentine's Day until Wednesday? Then you could go out for dinner and beer and it wouldn't be super busy. 

     

    Wait - "bro" - TODAY is Wednesday (Valentine's Day). If you've been planning on surprising the lady on another day maybe give her a warning before she threatens to take away your funny books? :baiting: This is purely a selfish recommendation in case you decide to list again in the future -- gotta keep Kramerica's stash So Fresh and So Clean (Clean...).

    Thank you Sir. I think that there is always something inherently nicer when you have someone who is selling their duplicates and the books that are no longer in their wheelhouse. It's different than when you have a sale of castaways, flips, recently slabbed or consignments for someone else. Does that make sense?

    Absolutely
