ADAMANTIUM replied to Buzzetta's topic in Comics General
How was it determined? The scale I mean, was it open to the public to vote? -
Seems I remember when you bought the pinball and posted here, less rust than all that it turned out or I'm guessing. Still works as a bench table though. Nice! 👍

First Transaction as a Comic Book Collector
ADAMANTIUM replied to Oxdaddy's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
I still kept bother My Noble Causes Family Secrets #3 cgc that are crazy cheap as a 1st cameo appearance, compared to what the 1st full appearance of Invincible goes for I don't think @Oxdaddydid to bad, or I don't think the seller was a "scammer", but using tips in my last post and that others have mentioned will give him an idea of where we're coming from or at the very least explain our answers. They did alright, just do the research now, with some estimates from examples in spare a grade part of the forum. Liniked earlier, that way when he goes to buy again, he'll have a better idea! or at least be more confident and comforted -
First Transaction as a Comic Book Collector
ADAMANTIUM replied to Oxdaddy's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
ya I read up real quick, if original poster, it would be best if he posted actual scans from a printer in this part of the forum... Hey buddy, can you spare a grade? - CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards (cgccomics.com) Scans of the books he bought, scans from a printer/scanner type. People will give him feedback after seeing both front and back, explaining to him the difference between comic and card grading, which may be similar but comics may have more "factors to consider!" I got the Sandman #1 CGC 9.6 priced at $250 Marvel Fumetti Book #1 CGC 9.8 , which is a Stan Lee photo cover, along with photos on the cover of the rest of the bullpen. And a double, which is now my under-copy of Star Wars #68 it's a tough break! I know of those 26 slabs I "traded" some would be a "hard sale or break even" market point, so I was willing to take the $125 loss for the LCS to sell them easier. Then avoiding the Ebay Sales tax form not sent, for stuff I wouldn't have made "profit" on, making a "tax form" just more "work" to explain I didn't owe anything And FYI this is the Invincible that I kept, which cost me $80, should sell eventually for at least $300, which is profit even after fees -

@Point Five Very true! @ADAMANTIUM calls losing $100 in collecting comics a pretty good Tuesday! What are you? A person from the future 😜 Read on if you dare 🤣 syntax and sentences. I just traded something like 26 invincible slabs, 2X8.5's, 4X9.0's and the rest between 9.2/9.6! That the LCS owner said himself was, "about $800 value?" For their 3 slabs priced at $250, $85&$80, even if they had charged me tax? It would have only equaled $449 that I got worth of stuff! The cost of the slabs for me was $562, but I threw in the $15 cgc box I brought the slabs in with so call it $575! Loss $125 I didn't bring in the three to four I have left, which were the 9.8 or NM variants that I'll make that $125 loss back and make $150 profit, but pretty spot on @Comics4All Ps. I have no idea what this thread is about 😂😆 -

HUNGER GAMES: BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES (TBD)
ADAMANTIUM replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
And that's part of why this country is so effed up right now. "PART" I say!! This story is brutal. Kids murdering kids, and these books were published by the Scholastic Press. They were marketed to Jr. High kids. Ya there were some right next to us, and pg 13 was the "right rating" I suppose, but this wasn't like TMNT or something laughy, it was pretty psychological for under 13... I awaited any reactions, but the audience jumped a few times at surprises, and while nothing was overly gruesome (that I remember) it was a very psychological based- 53 replies

Where did this 1994 Superman art come from? Ripped up tshirt?
ADAMANTIUM replied to Rhymenoceros's topic in Comics General
well due to the "mullet" I'd say it is around or just after the death of superman, if that narrows the search, or it might be "terms" in a search that help? -
Welcome to a long countdown to Fan Expo Dallas 2024!! June 7th-9th
ADAMANTIUM replied to ADAMANTIUM's topic in Comic Events
I don’t think they’re doing onsite at any shows lately. I haven’t seen it listed. Ya that seems right, but Lord willing trying to keep it fresh "in the minds" just in case. I know there is a market for it, I've yet to enjoy such event though... -
HUNGER GAMES: BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES (TBD)
ADAMANTIUM replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
The live feed from the LA premiere showed the books author, and I didn't read it, but she was saying that it kept her intention. I will say this, it was pg 13 and kids were there as young as 7-10, with there parents and both saying how they'd seen all the hunger games and were excited! For a late night showing that ended about 10:30 central time on school night? Lol 😂 I thought it was dedicated!- 53 replies

This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection
ADAMANTIUM replied to Buzzetta's topic in Comics General
I have recently this year tried Ollie's... I'm in the board exchange.. gift exchange. But wouldn't know what figures are sought after at Ollies unless we got specific, and if the time came I could revisit this thread but 😂 I mostly hang here because I think it's a cool subject matter, while not ever collecting most of it myself. I have, but not nearly enough to warrant anything haha If it was specifically tailored to an individual then I have the Ollie's and Ross option near by me enough. -
I'll stay out of it though, as I seem to add third party references 😀😉 no third wheel for me

To be fair Mike was right in that it would only be two shipments 20 books reg label. 1st shipment 3 wolverine and two Spidey. 2nd shipment. Cgc mike was saying labels by themselves can all go in one shipment, which always has, and they didn't see a problem with being able to, just add the five books, upon adding the books add the label option for each individual of the five. No worries but was trying to help 😂
