yes, but you’re too late for the big Magik Woo collection Heritage sold off. I don’t believe his books were pressed. So junkies gonna junk!

Nothing is weirder than a comic shop peephole with owner jerking off to kid’s looking at comics. Post closed.

I’d break into Mile High Comics and leave the 50k there. I wonder if Chuck would call the media and try to find the owner

oh yeah, I forgot. was in the LCS as a kid and this guy was trying to get the owner to turn the shop into a disco at night. "Just put the boxes of comics on wheels and roll em to the side at night!"

During the Death of Superman publicity stunt in early 90s that fat guy that owned Golden Apple in Los Angeles on Melrose Ave grabbed me when I was in there browsing one day and insisted I go on TeeVee to say how sad I was that Superman was dead. There were news vans in front of the store like something mattered. I told him no, I thought it was all so stupid. "But Superman is dead," Fat LCS owner says. "No he's not. It's the oldest PR stunt in the world," I replied. "You don't want to go on TeeVee?" "No. Who gives a sh*t?" "You'll be on TeeVee!" And so on until I fled. I know it's not much. Maybe you'll have a better story. Oh yeah, once in the early 80s I saw some girls at my LCS.

The Silent Invasion

Count me in!

I didn't want to seem as negative as I generally am, but if I had to go to Vegas and lay down a bet about the hows and whys of this robbery, I would bet as you say.

again, I appreciate your input. For an exercise (cause I'm bored, if you're not, I understand) Let's say this guy is a poor, homeless, drug addict. What's he gonna possibly do with this stuff unless he's got a regular fence, which is entirely possible.

I hear ya. Just came off as a little crass. Sorry. Who knows who did it? I believe the cops are buried acting as the last line safety net of the walking wounded that seem to populate the streets these days. I wish they could get back to policing, as they probably do, too. Someone earlier in this thread said some LCS owner purposely watered his comics to collect insurance. Wonder if he was poor, drug addicted and homeless.

Cool, man. Until your post I didn't realize thievery was exclusive to the poor.

Not a lot of love here for Mile High. No biggie. Couldn’t care less. As I’ve said here before, I sent away for some avengers when I was about 11 from MH and listed alternates. Chuck sent all alternates in crappy condition. I sent an F- you letter back and he wrote back banning me forever. That was about 1978ish. Anybody predate that in telling UpChuck to F-off? come to think of it, I jacked some of my father’s law firm letter head ( we have the same name) and started messing with him. Come to think of it, did the same with the Columbia House record club

I need to get a ROM #1. I'll wait till it's about $1,600.00. It's my usual M/O.

which is which? Is Mr. Magoo the 200k book grader?

that price is idiotic

thanks

Dumb question Roy: How do they treat a 200k book different than a $2 book in grading?

Check this out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steve-Ditko-Beckett-Signed-Cut-Spider-Man-Co-Creator-Autographed-with-org-Doc/312572757081?hash=item48c6c9c459:g:dNkAAOSwFeNcjGbb I look at SD letters on ebay cause I like to read them. I'm surprised they have value (yes the completed listing say they sell for big $$). Seems a shame to cut a letter to just get the autograph part encapsulated.

Nice pieces. Kid's good. In Sulaymaniyah, Iraq I met a young man who worked at a coffee shop. I noticed some really great drawings around the shop (no superhero comic stuff) and asked if they were his. He said yes and asked if I wanted to see his portfolio. I said sure and he pulled it from behind the counter and showed it to me. It was all male superheroes but with boobs. Huge boobs. And not cartoony like you might see in a Robert Crumb piece, but men with boobs. Serious as in if men had boobs. Spiderman with boobs. Deadpool with boobs. Quicksilver with boobs, and so on. He gave me his Instagram account but my head was already spinning from the travel and where I was at and I just didn't write it down. It seemed perfectly normal. I just said, Cool.

Wish I could gig on it. Buddy says it's cake. While at work he said he, "Explores one end of the Internet to the other" cause he's so bored. Good cash, too which I could spend with you Roy if your contact can hook me up. Money for me = money for you! M And BTW Byrd is real, too. Paul Leary (guitarist for the Butthole Surfers among other accomplishments) is a big fan and writes about Byrd often. Wish I knew as much about comics as I do in the worthless I do

I do know someone that works on Judge Judy. She's nice to the crew ( ) and mean as to both the plaintiffs and defendants. ( )!! As far as the "reality" of said show, man we'd have to start defining terms and just get way off topic of what seemed to be (besides Bob Storms) a really, really lame looking con. As bad as the one in Dubai and no "cheeks."

I'm gonna step aside now. I dunno. - I mean there is a Giant Elephant in the room here and, well, I'm a guest here and do enjoy the place and like to visit and I already got a strike last week. So.....

I know, I know: The train has left the station. I just think the trains, say in a Winston Link photograph of old, are more interesting than the trains of today.

I know a little and I think you're a bit off on your calculations. Perhaps, please, a more experienced actor can come on in here and break off some knowledge. Since no one is, I'll try. It would cost, I believe, quite a bit more to grade since the grading fee is based on the estimated value of book. Pressing, same.
