    Any Archie?

    The wife and I crossed the border to do a little Christmas shopping and I stopped at a comic shop that I had never been to before. A very nice gentleman runs the store with whom I had a wonderful chat. Picked these two books up. Can't wait to read about slum girl!

    You know that Betty, she's a mean girl. Always trying to undermine Veronica. Even as little children she was mean. Enough is enough!

    There is only room for one camp. The Veronica camp. Betty is only a sidekick

    Sweet Maria! Those Archie's Christmas stockings are not that easy to find.

    I like that you have a hard line. No wishy-washy regrets down the road!

    Very good observation. In your opinion though, can a trimmed book be desirable? Assuming a book's value increases, the trimmed equivalent must, in theory, ride the blue label's coat tails up. What would be the margin of increase of a purple trimmed against a blue? I suspect it would differ on a case by case basis, but as a whole, the trimmed will increase too, no?

    I think many would have a hard time getting over the betrayal.... Now go one step further, because I love being the devil's advocate. Your twelve year old niece is staying the weekend while her parents are at a Dirty Dancing recreation weekend in North Carolina. As many twelve year old girls are very detail oriented she decides to even out the bottom of one of your beloved book. She does a bang up job, gold medal trimmer the niece is. Same book minus a few tiny scraps. Does your attitude towards it change?

    I like this take. Although I think I learned my lesson with the SB pgs. I was of the same thought process until, over the years, the bottom of the slab collects more and more bits of comic and the slab is only moved for dusting/rearrangement. Now SB pgs is out. Of course if the price was a have to buy it price, I could still accept it, but it would gnaw at me. Maybe I have a SB mind Different take. What if you had a book in your collection raw that you've had for many years and have always thought "this is a very nice book". You've loved and cherished it and decide one day to get it slabbed to either display or protect or any other number of reasons. Let's leave out the only slab to sell debate. The book comes back trimmed. How do you feel about it now? Still love? Ex wife material? Personally, I'd be upset because I'd had the book up on a pedestal for years and it was going behind my back the whole time. Now naturally it was flawed when we met, but who can tell one hundred percent of the time these days???

    Very well thank you! I've been lurking from time to time when time permits. Thought I'd try to work on the collection in '24! I hope the comic gods have been good to you and that your family is well Gene.

    That was slightly confusing. I first thought that it was a 90 year old woman going for a tissue, but alas more Fireball.
