  1. The nice thing about when a family member loses interest in comic books is that you get to cherry pick and low ball his keys!
  2. Looks like the pictures were taken on a cell phone produced in the late 90's
  3. What's your DPI set to under "Scan resolution"?
  4. How does that even get passed quality control?
  5. Well then! Bring on the trash because we're waiting hah!
  6. Summer of August 2017, one of my most memorable hunts ever. I heard about a neighborhood garage sale and decided to bring my brother along to show him the ropes. It was decided he'd be the driver while I was the foot soldier. We get to our first house, he pulls up on the opposite side of the street and says "I don't see any comic books, let's go!". I'm like "hold on man!, let me get out and take a look, you never know!". So I get out of the car and as I start to cross the street, I see a little glimmer of hope! A Dell logo protruding up from a beat up box. I walk up to the box and quickly flip through a few books, nothing crazy and they all looked pretty beat up. I asked the seller, "how much do you want for these old books"? He replies "uh, I don't know, how's $20 for everything?" I pulled out a 20 spot and off we went to the next house. A few hours later we get back to my place and I start peeling away each issue at a time. Mostly misc bronze and some moderns. About half way down in the box I pulled an ASM 128 and right underneath that ASM 129!! I yelled so loud in excitement that I'm sure my neighbors down the street heard. That was a good day! I've had other awesome pickups but this one will always be remembered as "the one".
  7. Hmm that might be too huge for my taste. I'm heading out to Michaels later today.We will see!
  8. What cheap frames do you guys recommend that can fit a slab printed close to 12 3/4 X 8 1/4?
  9. I'm planning to go there this week. Thanks for the reminder!
