  1. for 35 years. As far as the 80% vs the 20%: 1. I figured that was common sense and didn't need to be brought to your attention 2. Just goes to show you how SAG treats their own
  2. Yes, so the actors can sit in their air conditioned trailers (after making sure to lecture crew how "we're all equal and in this together", waiting for their Starbucks, not wearing masks on set (even tho SAG is the one demanding crew wear masks), crying about global warming as their limousines idle with air conditioning on, and on and on and on....
  3. Bay is a piece of work. Know a guy who worked on his student film while Bay was at Pasadena Art Center. Rich kid. Could hire the best on his "student" film, with the exception of my friend who tied into his mom's house's breaker box and blew a fuse and caught the house on fire. He's consistently abusive and unkind to the people below him. What else do you need to know about a person? F.. this guy. Besides, his logic here is flawed like the Bossy Bottom running a train behind a dumpster at a truck stop outside of Barstow that he is: A Mocking Bird imitates and thereby creates its own art. Duh! And on and on...
  4. stay away from St. Mark's Comics. If it moved from the LES, stay away from where ever it moved to.
  5. Yes, get insurance. A suggestion: the question you want to ask is - Who has insurance and has had to use it? People thinking this insurance company is great or that insurance company is great is meaningless. Every insurance company is great at collecting premiums. How are they when something is stolen, destroyed, whatever? How do they respond then? Base your decision on which company to purchase a policy with on those answers and those answers alone.
  6. Safe Deposit Box is the correct term. its where I keep my af15. I haven’t see. It for a couple of years. I hope it’s still there.
  7. I knew her way back in 1989 on her first film. On that film I gave her Batman: The Cult miniseries comics. This sparked an interest in comics for her that moved to Star Wars stuff. She had several severe set backs in her life that she overcame and went on to a storied career. RIP, Shawna. Safe travels.
  8. Every once in a while things work out in my favor
  9. I love the date stamp but the crease top center gives me the heebie-jeebies. I feel like it's marvel chipping just waiting to fall off (but MC is only on the right side, right?) Whatever, I feel like it's gonna break off... This is what I know about it: Some guy named Crazy Charlie bought it off the newsstand back in the day. Crazy Charlie had a used bookstore in the Pacific Northwest forever. A man named Judd Lawson had it for a while, so I'm told. The great dancer Magik Woo owned it. He got pissed at CGC. Had the other guys slab it. They graded it at 8.5. Sold for 77k about in 2016. new mystery owner ressubed at CGC - stayed an 8.5, no doubt it's been pressed. I bought it in 2017. Stan Lee sig (signed in 1984) on page 16. The mystery owner from 2016 purchase to 2017 seller did very, very well. It's probably a little overgraded at 8.5, probably an 8.2 or so.
  10. no, there was a Submariner guy that always talked about prices way before batman guy. Submariner guy and his brother owned an AF15 together
  11. I don't really follow the prices with specificity. although I appreciate the guys here who do the detailed graphs about AF15's $ highs and lows, I can rarely understand the graphs themselves as I only went to college for about 6 months before dropping out. Most of those 6 months were spent in pursuit of this woman named Kirstein. We made out once at Rhodes Hall at Radford University in southern Virginia. I had arranged to make out with her another time at a friend's nearby house; he was going to split and leave me the place but his room mate ended up coming home and didn't want to leave because he wanted to watch the season premier of Airwolf.
  12. not comic book related, but art book related. someone has a book for sale at 400$. Is it bad form to send them a DM offering 300$? While I've negotiated on eBay, never have done so on Abebooks
  13. Bump! We need more AF15 news! Big sales only!
  14. At they're at the Costco getting Ritz Crackers for craft service
  15. you ever work on a non-union show with no medics? I worked on a show on location once and all the "medics" were strippers from a local strip club who were hired because they were cheap, they thought it would be fun to work on a movie! All hilariously funny and jokes galore until that dude cut his arm off with a saw....
  16. get a hold of a call sheet, any call sheet, there's always 10-15 producers
