  1. I don't know...I mean he is in his 90's. It's not natural for anybody, let alone a 90+ year old to sit there and sign their name over and over for hours at a time. His handlers run a fast assembly line. His eyesight is not good. I think he tries, but just gets stuff shoved in his face, and it's 'chop chop, hurry up Stan'. No pictures, basically no talking, it's a very weird thing now-a-days.
  2. Stan's eyesight sure ain't what it used to be. I pointed to one of his handlers, what I thought was a pretty obvious, more than decent sized, white patch for him to aim for, and his handler said something like 'Seriously?!?', like I was asking him to fit it on a pin head. Stan tried, but still not the best placement.
  3. I have heard both sides of the spectrum. Some are happy he's gone, some are upset. Personally, I think Marvel needs to clean house on about 90% of their current staff.
  4. I definitely think the movies have given them a big bump. For example, it seems like recently many raw Bronze age #1's were readily available in high grade for $35-$50 in high grade (Black Panther, Inhumans, Iron Fist, Luke Cage), now today, triple to quadruple & only Cage is a 'first appearance'. Doesn't make much sense.
  5. And absolutely Don't Have Fun! It's a rule. (Sorry, I'm a bit jaded from the last time I went, but the whole thing is just such an impersonal money grab). Hope you have a different experience, and the sigs come out like you hoped.
  6. Looks like he took a brief nap on the first 'e'. Poor guy has to squeeze those naps in when he can, the way his handlers shuffle him around.
  7. From a collectibles standpoint, how many hundreds, if not thousands of storage lockers are auctioned off every weekend in the USA? Then how many success stories of anything decent getting pulled out do we hear? 1%? Not sure if it's worth it, unless you are 'all in' for the liquidating the rest of the stuff (tools, chairs, desks, clothes, pee stained sofas etc.)
  8. If that is a serious question, I would be concerned with your ability when it comes to 'investing' in comics.
  9. I don't think it's complaining, and even though it is still the highest rated cable show Sunday night, it is seeing a real decline in viewers" "According to Nielsen Live+Same Day data, the episode airing on Oct. 29 drew a 4.0 rating in adults 18-49 and 8.9 million viewers. Not only is that a drop of approximately 20 percent in both measures from the Season 8 premiere last Sunday, but it is also the show’s lowest ratings since Season 2. The most comparable episode to this week’s in terms of ratings was Episode 8 of Season 2, which drew a 4.2 and 8.1 million viewers back in 2012."
  10. $1 bins. Nothing less. Occasionally a store has a sale- 1/2 off on back issues, so the $1 bin becomes .50 cent bin.
  11. meh....I liked the Amazing Spiderman one. But for the most part, I can live without them.
  12. I feel like it's missing something. It doesn't look like the panels are finished. Maybe it's the inker.
  13. PFFFFFTTTT!!!! Seriously?! Purchased, and read. They just drug poor Steve Rogers through the muck and mire for over a year, and he comes back, restored, into the now Marvel 'Legacy' numbering, and this is the art that we get?! I can't draw, and I hate criticizing others when it comes to drawing, but Chris Samnee doesn't do it for me. Sorry.
  14. So I caved and binged watch the second half of Season 7. I'll throw it on Spoiler in case people still want to catch up like I did. A few observations:
