  1. Interesting strategy. Could the opposite be a better strategy? Keep the best 10% at the house for the "estate sale", do whatever cheaply with the rest. Salvation Army? They pick up. Tax write-off. If someone sees only the best, they may think this was an extremely picky and astute collector and this collector must know more then them and they buy at a much higher price. But, what do I know.
  2. What are those collector packs? Remember the 4 mini posters they sold before the mr x comic came out? Never able to find those. city of dreams, city of nightmares
  3. Image it's just the mood I'm in now: middle of the night, can't sleep. Buying stuff gave the guy pleasure, and that's good, However I want to know more about this person. What was his job? How did he die? If that stuff could talk I imagine the fights they could tell us, "Get this stuff out of here!" "You said you weren't going to buy anything more!" Ultimately, what a burden for the family. Sounds like they just want it gone. Cleaning superman peanut butter jars? for what purpose? l'm gonna try to keep my collection small and tight. Someone's gonn have to deal with it
  4. Honestly don't know what happen to my Plookiville's. They had no resale value at the time I sold stuff.
  5. Awesome! thanks for the 411 on the Charlie Brown spoof. Didn't know that.
  6. Gator, When someone comes into your store clutching a long box and asks, "Do you buy comics?" can you tell by looking at the person what's in the long box?
  7. Three of my favorite comics. Anybody got any cool one-of-a-kind items to show off? Thanks in advance.
  8. I'm assuming this is a typo. Burkey has all of ASM 20 in his private collection. It was a mistake. There is a SD page with Green Goblin on the Cool Lines site. thought it was 20, but that's the Scorpion. Correction: ASM 23, page 6 They quoted me $35K back 2009 so knowing them they likely are asking $70k now. $35K was crazy then so that is why they still have it. John B. thanks. what does this Cool Lines place have a giant vault with all that art in it?

  10. No point in asking about the Steve Ditko Spiderman 20 page, I guess. No I don't have a lot of money.
  11. I've got my Daredevil Miller run, Alan Moore Swamp Thing run, and an unexpected Swamp Thing Vol. 1 run. I got Dark Knight Returns 1 9.8, 9.6 SS (Miller/Janson) I guess this is Copper Age stuff, sorry This year it's about discipline and focus. Discipline and focus.
  12. Chronologically, the 3D issue sits between issues 3 and 4. Now where the heck are the rest of the Gaiman issues? Will see how I enjoy the first 16 issues and proceed accordingly. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question.
  13. I've read court cases and attended trials for fun and entertainment (I know, it's weird) and this is what always happens: You watch the trial, attend court hearings, read the depos, read the filings understanding them the best you can and the case goes on for years. Then as each side runs out of money, they settle and everything is sealed so you can really never tell what happened in the end. See the C. Dickens story The Bleak House. I predict this will be settled out of court and none of us will know the conclusion.
  14. I bought it from a reputable dealer at an 8.5. Opened it and the glue began coming unglued. Not bad, not great. I just wanna read it in the story's original format. Not gonna resell it. Price was 45$. It doesn't look like someone was pulling a fast one and put some glue on there. But I'm no expert at restoration. Like I said, It's a reader. No biggie. Just wondering.
  15. Bought Swamp Thing runs volume 1 and 2. Priced at FMV, excellent communication, speedy shipping, superb packing. Excellent, excellent excellent!
  16. carded, loose, colors? I'm not sure what carded means. If that means still in package, yes I would like them in package still. Colors of figures is not important. I see them on ebay, just seem super-pricey. Maybe that's what they go for
  17. anybody gotta a line on the original Micronauts figures. Need a Time Travaler and Space Glider
