Have book in hand. It seems to be “faded” evenly on front and back so perhaps it’s a low-ink situation. Regardless it’s mine now and it will do. Can’t wait to free it from slab, read it then put in Mylar.

I have all these cards. Not good condition. Held in piles with a rubber band. Stumbled on some prices. Wow. Just cause there in great shape I guess.

Unacceptable! Spanky knows:

Anybody know when the HA 8.5 auction starts/ends? I forgot my HA password and logged in mistakenly too many times and now I’m locked out. Says I have to call them and my social anxiety won’t allow it.

A burst of sunshine here. Aren't there (or at least weren't there) articles predicting a resurgence of high-end collectibles as stocks continue to erase gains since 2019? So perhaps $ is moving from stocks and crypto to big boy books (to include AF15 in 8.5, which seems high-end enough to me). In that scenario, an 8.5 AF15 might extend the $707K in Sept 2021 and the $875K in July 2022 to a cool $1 million in October 2022? Seen in that light, a mere 14% hike wouldn't seem like a huge leap. Ok, ok, AF15 just holding at the July figure would be the
scenario (for AF15 owners) in light of everything.
If an 8.5 AF15 cools to $500K, it could mean that AF15 is still correcting and/or succumbing to broader market woes, but even then, not more than other asset classes nowadays. This would be the
scenario. At least that beats doom and gloom. But what would that mean for a 9.0 chance at cracking a cool million? A 9.0 sold in March 2017 for about $400K, well before any wackiness, and a decade and longer ago (e.g., historically) a 9.0 was 50% to 100% more pricey than an 8.5. So even with a cooled-down 8.5, a 9.0 could still reach $1 million without much or any wackiness...if the historical relationship holds. Also consider that a 9.0 could be more immune to broader market trends than an 8.5 and avoid a cooling down.
That leaves the
scenario. Tempting to consider, but I'm [still] in a good mood and want to keep it that way. 
You’re a smart man. AF15 8.5 = 1 million !!!

No, lots of Big Boys were regional and they just added "Big Boy" to existing restaurants. In my area it was Abdow's Big Boy.
No kidding? I think Shoney’s is the only “variant” I know. There are “Bobs Big Boy Comics” and Shoney’s Big Boy comics”

Are there rare Abdow's variants out there?
You mean Arby’s?

I bumped up my bid and won it at 68$. My decision was based on beginning to take my bobs big book collection to the next level!
the very first issue, first series) (Everett cover, Timely in-house production) sells for over 1k!
-
The tension and drama starting to mount as the MCS auction for Bobs Big Boy Comics has less then 45 min left. Who else is watching? I need some influencers!

I think theoretically, most normal signings go like this:
I bring my book or picture, lay it in front of the guest and say, "I love your work", and the guest signs and the line moves. Possibly, the customer might take a picture of the guest signing. Every so often, someone (if the line is fairly short or they paid extra or its a child) will ask to take a picture with the guest, and the guest may or may not comply with that guest.
With influencers, they might be trying to video the entire thing, talking loudly or making a video in front of the signer, or wearing a stupid costume, or doing a stupid stunt that may involve props or loud noises, or require extra room, and might take active participation from the guest. Not to mention getting multiple signatures. So they waste a lot of time and it feels like the influencer monetizing the situation more than the creator signing something for true fans.
Thank you. I’d still like a link to this idiotic behavior to see it in action if anyone has one.
my guess is this will all come crashing to the ground one day and all that will be left is us crazy about the story and art. I don’t think this hobby (world) is in a healthy spot.

I think I know what an “Influencer” is. I fail to understand what an influencer does to ruin the experience of the young woman signing for free. If someone would link to an influencer doing this I would appreciate it

I could see a 9.2 hitting that mark in this wacky day and age. 8.5, half million give or take, probably take, or give, whichever means the lesser of the two. That was just NoMan in a Euphoric State that's all. Which incidently is where I went to college.
Alright then, 2 million.

You mean how supposed fans went after the film, Zack Snyder and then his filming crew?
‘Batman v Superman’ Cinematographer Defends The Superhero Team-Up And Director Zack Snyder
People had garbage takes on this movie because it didn't fit their MCU approach to superhero films (joking during action scenes). Then you had WB early on tampering cutting out a relevant 30 minutes that later turned out to be quite impactful to the moviegoer's experience.
I’m just saying it’s funny how someone spoke to Fong. Just flat out telling him what he/she(the twitter person) thought without fear of reprisals. Most cinematographers are premadonnas (sp?) and need to be smacked down to earth a bit.
I don’t know anything of the controversy nor do I care. I saw the movie on an airplane and it did indeed suck. Seeing it bigger in imax would only make it suck bigger.

Poor Larry Fong. Probably the first time someone has spoke to him that way. I hope he’ll be ok. Hope he can still stay/get into ASC. Still get his kit rental.

I’ve been outbid in MCS auction on issue 1 (1976) of Shoney’s Restaurant The Adventures Of Big Boy. I simply won’t bid over 43$

And if you don't have a half a million to procure that 8.5 there is a .5 coming to CL in a few days. Ok it's mine. Hate to plug my own book but it's gonna need all the help it can get.
GLWS. I’m very curious what this goes for. Thanks for letting us know

This club is open to anyone who respects the bullet-proof investment that is AF15.
