  1. Multiple transactions never a problem. Great boardie A+
  2. How did you find this lead? Just between us girls. Luck and networking. It also helps that I knew what I was looking at and many did not. It still will be a lot of work this isn't a short flip on several of these. I may slab a few as well.
  3. There were just so many I have never seen and several multiples.
  4. Good prices! Those prices had been on there a long time. I got a bulk deal. I need to go back and see whats left that I missed next week.
  5. I just purchased a large lot of newsstands from a distributor's family. They had been sitting on them for years for no particular reason. All from like 2007 to like 2010 almost all are NM Ive see so far. Some books I never seen before as well here are a few below. I think total number is around 150 or so.
  6. I hate this book I've looked forever for one copy. I've never seen it in the wild or at shows. Other hulk 377 3rd print its the most difficult book for me to find.
  7. Well this is the recovery month after Christmas. After people blow their cash the first week its slow till mid-February when it picks up. All do my first show in March 16th and we are usually packed due to tax season. Its our busiest show of the year.

  9. If anyone was lucky enough to buy some of those Taylor Swift Pacific Blue comics early on they are doing very well on them as some were really limited. I find high grade later copper and early moderns doing well for me as well. Right now harder to find scarcity and high grade lead the field. HTF high grade 2nd prints, newsstands and sets all do well for me over time. Some might not sell for 3 or 4 months, but they will eventually sell so I have np paying for them knowing I will set on some books for awhile. Punisher War Machine 218 seems to be doing very well with repeated sales over time. Dept of Truth should start moving well again this year as it gets closer to production. Still selling 1st Spider-boy a copy every few months at $30 or so. Zatanna NM copies of her last 16 issue series sell very well. That Bolland 1/10 variant with the cards a local shop had a NM copy for $200 and let me tell you it took some self control not to buy it even if it was overpriced its such a fantastic cover. Alot of 90s nostalgia books are going to really appreciate well soon or have already. Several video games fall into this category and will for several years. Resident Evil was always a good sell for many years as well as others above. Modern horror has done very well. Jason vs Freddy vs Ash does very well for me. Even those SIKTC is slowing down and value dropping other books are appreciating well.
  10. Gaming Very True I have sold alot of high dollar Call of Duty Zombies and Dead Space this last month.
  11. Our 7th show in this current location. We are the largest one day show in our Tri State area. We offer 20 dealers inside an older mall with plenty of space for people to move around. This is not a cramped in show in a hotel room. One dealer basically said its like the Strangers Things mall except one level. So plenty of space for set up and you can sit down at tables and review your purchase as well in the Cafe Court. We have plenty of space and the dealers are split evenly between two locations in the mall. Admission is free as well as parking. There is nice Noble Roman's pizza shop for lunch as well. Many buyers spend hours at this show because of the volume of comics that are there. I encourage anyone close by to come down to the show and judge for themselves.

  13. This shouldn't be hard to find it was in 1995, but first copy I have seen. Its actually really neat as it reprints the original story.
  14. I wonder about the Simpsons though. I think at some point it becomes the opposite for them. Directs are much harder to find after around issue 100 or so? I see newstands Simpsons alot, but rarely see directs over 50 and much less past 100. I think they were in Barnes and Nobles among other places. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
  15. Contact ebay asap I would think tell them this is stolen merchandise. That seller has a ton of Peanuts art. I would imagine this was either a consignment or someone sold it to them.

  17. You can make this comment all year long as movies and gossip from spec sites leak out. There is always someone entering the market. Now in this case just if she appears and it's still a big IF the book will not go down for a long time.(The fact that she is good friends with Ryan Reyonlds and his wife doesn't hurt either.) There is a huge fan base that is rabid for anything she does. I'm more than happy to gamble on this some then any other speculation this year. All my sales the last 2 months have been to women or at least the accounts have a women's name on them buying this book. I only wish I had horded more Uncanny 130s.
  18. My fault had a family crisis come up and forgot. All check back tonight later to see who I ship to.
  19. Dazzler 1 continues its climb. It will get a speculator bump this week as its been featured some on spec sites this week. It's been a very lucrative book for me over the last two months As well as xmen 130 being red hot.

  21. Here are again less then a year later with another issue. This problem is a perfect storm for con artists. Large volume submissions and add in understand company and you get that. All the being said we get books that have been tampered with at shows and switched out but its very rare. I suspect its going to get larger now. You can tell who is new to slabbing sometimes by their outrage on facebook. They have no ideas about Percy and Jason Ewert from years ago. I am more forgiving of this one then the UF4 fiasco last year.

  23. Season 2 is just not very good. Episode 1 was decent. Episode 2 I didnt care for, but I could watch it. Episode 3 was terrible. I dont have high standards.
