  1. Or, "Are you cool with booty calls until we find people we actually like?"
  2. Puppets enjoying winter sports to dolls enjoying winter sports.
  3. You've been dreaming about that since the 80s, haven't you?
  4. Surprise in a chest for ducks to surprise in a crate for a mouse and his dog.
  5. Mochila of Destiny to Spectre of Fate. (Google says a mochila is a backpack. Really? Backpack of Destiny?)
  6. The guy in the blue sweater needs to see a doctor. He has some kind of abnormal growth on his cranium.
  7. Buy what you enjoy. You can make money by flipping hot books, but no comic book is a long-term investment. There's a real risk of price stagnation or even steep declines across the board once the Gen-Xers start to age out of the hobby. (The Boomers are already starting to leave, and they're the ones holding most of the nicest books. You're going to see a flood of grade-A material on the block over the next 10 years.) There will be some Millenials and Zoomers in the hobby just like there are some Gen-Xers who collect 78 RPM records and Hummels, but the number of serious collectors will shrink. The passion in the hobby comes, by and large, from the guys who grew up buying comics off the rack every month. That doesn't describe many Millenials or Zoomers.
  8. No, not all title pages are splash pages.
  9. Are you sure it's a $200 item? Because I regularly see eBay sellers listing for ten times their fair market value. (I usually don't bother to make offers if the price is more than twice the fair market value, but occasionally I will. I've had offers around 40% of the asking price accepted—rarely.)
  10. Jeep in the water to firing from a Jeep on land.
  11. Red, white and blue July cover with the signatures of Marshall, Leahy, McArthur, King, Eisenhower, Nimitz, and Arnold to red, white, and blue August cover with images of Marshall, Leahy, McArthur, King, Eisenhower, Nimitz, and Arnold.
  12. It looks like it's a comic book/activity book hybrid. Does Overstreet usually include promotional publications like that or only pure comic books?
  13. Feeding an elephant to riding an elephant.
  14. Those creases in the lower right corner are what keep it to an 8.0. Maybe he isn't rich; maybe he's a guinea pig so they can perfect the technique before using it on the rich guys. Did you consign your books early or late? Books that get consigned late sometimes go very cheap on C-Link because buyers either don't see them or have targeted other books.
