i really never heard about "miswraps" tell I came around here. honestly never thought it was a thing. Curious to hear answers from the knowledgable around here.

Yes. Exactly. How you can tell. Thanks!

Never heard of Hollinger before. Thanks for taking the time in posting and bringing him up. Learn something new every 3rd or 4th week around here.

Laughing because you giving out an “F” not about that poor woman being murdered.

Come on, I'm trying. Are you trying to make me feel bad? I'm a grown up with grown up responsibilties. Time is a premium over here. (not enough to waste time here. Double ) But, No is the answer to your question. I'm just now finishing up my Moon Knight (1982) run. That run is really bests with the Bill S./Doug M. issues around 22-27. So what do I read first Byrne FF or Simonson Thor?

thank you! i'm home bound and in need of cheering up. Seriously, I thank you. BTW, dumb question from a non-collector: how do you know it's the same figure from toy to toy?

Brilliant.

awesome!!

what no love for the hype-sters ?? It made for entertaining threads when I was really, really bored at work. However, someone here way smarter than me (doesn't really narrow it down, I know. ) said very calmly, "It's not really good for the long term health of the hobby, all this hype-ster activity." Logic kills all the good threads.

Come on experts speak up! I dunno if these prices are good or bad.

missed a lot back in my reading days 79 - 87 as I was hyper focused on Frank Miller's work. Bad move. Missed alot.

i just ordered a copy. Once I get and read it if y'all are interested I'll give you a review. H e l l , even if ya'll not interested I'll give ya'll a review.

ok, that's it and thank you. Hopefully it's a good read as McFarland isn't especially well know for their covers. Better when they left them a blank with just the book title. If you looked on the McFarland website and found it, I apologize for not finding it there myself.

can't wait. I really love these boards as the folks participating here have tipped me off to some great stories!

Was it Jamie of Southern California Comics or Terry of the Yorba Linda show. Or was it...? Want to get it and can't remember who it was. I know it's being published by the awesomely weird publisher (in a good way) McFarland Press. Any help here?

Ouch! Thanks for being vigilant and letting us know.

I'm putting together my Byrne reading run (never read it) as we speak. Almost done and ready to read!

Since this thread never seems to go away and people keep submitting comics thru Paradise Comics to be signed by whomever regardless and you're asking my opinion in the tread title, I'll respond: I think 5 - 7 years is a reasonable time. Might we revisit this in, say, 2023?

reason i stopped reading comics, i dunno, 3 years prior to this s h i t

16 sounded a bit low. 27 is still young and if you're making a living around comics and you love 'em, more power to you.

Alex Reece is 16? Really?

When did the bubble begin? When did it burst? Maybe direct people to this thread circa 2017 when discussing the dangers of FOMO. Conversely is there a thread to direct people to when discussing FOMO wherein if you didn’t move you absolutely did miss out? IH181?

WTF?

I wonder if any speculators snatched up FF 1 in 1994 upon hearing that Corman was gonna make a movie?

Several of the Market Reports in the 2018 OSPG say that the AF15 prices of 2017 could not be sustained echoing some folks opinions here from back in the crazy days of 2017. One market report made the suggestion that the time to sell AF15 is now and to put that money into a different key(s). (Just got out my book and looked this up. Alex Reece from Reece's Rare Comics says it atop page 178, specifically if you are "unsure" about keeping yours of not.) But in fairness other Market Reports say AF15 "shows no sign of slowing down" (Todd Sheffer of Hake's Americana Page 183. ) If you wanted the AF15 for your long term collection, well, now you have one! Like you said if one isn't flipping no need to worry. If you want an FF 1 for your long term collection, you'll get one. I know, I know. I'm no help whatsoever. I can't be a monday morning quarterback. Does anyone truly know when the bubble is gonna take off or burst?
