  1. I’ll take it. PM Sent regarding the 48
  2. I thought my vision got blurry there for a minute. What a stack!!!
  3. Agree! And I am biased but the composition and color on this make it a masterpiece for me. Also a rare tender subject as opposed to jealous mistresses and drama. Your Dec 6 date stamp is my favorite of all the 2.5’s!
  4. This is a very interesting topic. Collecting usually isn’t a singular focus. I’m always interested to see what others are drawn towards since we all share a similar passion for funny books. Here’s mine. Not as cool as rock posters or vintage toys but it’s my thing. Disneyland Park props and park used fixtures...
  5. This right here! This right here is why I read the boards. A master class in comicsology. Wonderful piece of information!
  6. Welcome back man!!!! A true OG of the boards returns!
  7. A nice pick up from early 2019. Now a CGC 3.0 (detached cover). One of my favorites.
  8. The FF1 is a 1.5 and it belongs to @Primetime he was holding down the booth with me. You can PM him if interested.
  9. Well here’s that problem solved Dont worry, I lurk when I’m not changing diapers. (My kids...not mine. Just want to be clear there.)
  10. This remains to be seen. It might be a really good backup story.
  11. Ok here’s my show review. The show... was great as always. You can basically stop reading right there and just show up to the next one. In between the customers it feels like a room full of old and new friends hanging out on a Saturday talking comics and having a laugh. Jbud and HOC have been showing me the ropes for almost 15 years now so seeing both of them in the same room always brings a smile to my face. POV was in rare form. His improv is unnecessarily hilarious and once he’s finishes making you laugh, he busts out his magnifier and lays a master class worth of knowledge on you. I’m serious, I learned more about restoration detection in 20 mins than I have in the last 14 years. Primetime had my 6 in the booth all day counting $1 books by the dozen and letting me drop the Overstreet Advisor card every once in a while and Brain was there just long enough for me to wise crack a few times before he disappeared to do real life stuff (we missed you buddy). The show has introduced me to a lot of boardies I probably wouldn’t have bumped in to other wise. Harvdoss and Edgerx are both awesome dudes. Then there is the new breed of instagram collectors that have been growing on me. A lot of very cool ladies and gents that would make (if they aren’t already) great additions to the boards. And of course Wormboy does an awesome job orchestrating. I’m gonna say this out loud one time just for you Tim. Thank you for taking all that ‘abuse’ (I don’t think I’m allowed to use the word I want to there) from that mean old lady that rudely orders you where to put each table at the end of the show so the octogenarians can play bridge on Sunday morning. Everything about this show brings out the best memories of collecting and dealing for most everyone that goes. It is a nostalgia factory to say the least. If you’ve made it through my entire OG boardie love note then you owe it to yourself to check this little box of comics out. It’s better than Ralph Macchio’s letter to the editor in Amazing Spider-Man #129.
  12. I was one of those guys! Thanks for reminding me. I’m gonna go slam my hand in my car door.
  13. KrazyKat and his 500 shill accounts. Undisclosed pressing was the equivalent of drowning small animals. FFB was still Fantasy Football Bono Golddust (I’m sorry to bring back painful memories buddy) as Captain Red Pants. And Greggy only had 300,000 posts. I’ve been here too long...
  14. Show is gonna be great! If you haven’t been yet, show up! I’ve got 11 long boxes full of brand new 50 cent books coming (actual good titles included!) A wall with some more affordable keys for my lower budget collectors (GSX 1, Thor 165, Secret Wars 8’s, ASM 298-300, Graded copies of ASM 300, NM 98, X 101, and a ton of other goodies.) plus a ton of $5-$20 books at half price. We might even drag out some modern OA for fun. If I had found this show when I first started collecting I would have been very spoiled. The amount of knowledge, product and great atmosphere make it a very special venue. See you there.
