  1. I used to. You almost bought it. I have sold it.
  2. Have any other pics of it? Would love to see what the rest of the display rack looks like.
  3. I have one Toldeo in my collection that was cracked from a broken slab. Still have the label in the back of the mylar:
  4. Gator doesn't collect covers with Crocodiles! Lovely book.
  5. I cast a vote for Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves as the worst accent. At first he tried an English accent, that by the middle of the film had completely been tossed in favor of his regular drawl.
  6. The movie was ok to me, but it goes way downhill after the helicopter crash. After that, I feel the Suicide Squad has absolutely no urgency in completing their mission, and casually walk for blocks. I am also discovering how much I hate filler: filler of the team fighting grapehead "who-cares" enemy soldiers. I bought the DVD and tried to re-watch it, I didn't make it through the film and turned it off before the final battle. The highlight for me is watching Margot Robbie walk in that over revealing outfit. My goodness the woman is a goddess. I actually liked Leto as the Joker, but I hated they way they decided he should look. Those teeth, ugh!
  7. yes but not a good measure of how I rate the film. I wouldn't give the Amazing Spiderman 2 a 1 out of 10.
  8. The Amazing Spider-man 2 has a 65% viewer rating, and it is horrendous. I couldn't wait to leave and should have walked out. Reviews are of little value to me.
  9. I found my stand alone rack at a local comic show from another seller. He had it in his booth using it to showcase books. It caught my eye, he asked what book has caught my eye, I said the rack. We negotiated a price, he said he wouldn't let it go for less than $500.00 in trade. I said SOLD! He came to my booth and was starting to look at my wall books, I directed his attention to a long box I had on my table that I had a sign on of $2-$5 each. It was a bunch of books that are worth $5 max in guide that had been to many shows that I couldn't sell and I told him I would give him the entire box. It is a case of "know your customer", the guy is always looking for deals, and he at the time didn't have a job. His job was going door to door selling comics. I knew he would see the value of the junk and would probably take it. He browsed the box, told me the box was worth more than $500, are you sure? I said yes. Done deal. I feel like the rack cost me nothing, and it is in beautiful shape.
  10. I wish I could figure out a way to make my spinner spin better but for an economical investment. I have looked into a bearing system but what I can find locally is a hundred dollars.
  11. the secret to JSComics: Has plenty of lots always, so you buy one, then hunt for another to combine shipping. *Doesn't have an overwhelming number of lots to choose from ( it is actually important ) Have reasonably solid grading.
  12. Looking forward to seeing a gorgeous girl with red hair and pale white skin wrapped in ivy. But yes, it is likely that all the characters will be different ethnicities and they will all be wearing black leather jackets and have on sunglasses.
  13. I am hoping for a fantastic film, but honestly the trailers are not captivating me. I am hopeful, but going into it with low expectations. I liked the Tobey Macguire first and second films, but absolutely hated the third. The Andrew Garfield films were lousy to me, especially the second one: what an awful movie.
  14. I have purchased 2 spinner racks and 1 stand-up rack and all 3 were purchased here in the province of Alberta. I have found spinners I have wanted to buy but the shipping is so expensive I have passed on the purchase. The 2 spinners I did buy were both purchased out of Calgary, and both were from comic shops. The one I kept was the older of the 2 but it doesn't spin as well as the newer one did. I sold the newer one to a fellow boardie here in Edmonton. I waited for a long time for both spinners to arrive. 1 was picked up at the Calgary comic store by a friend and I waited until he brought it with him to Edmonton and we met to transfer to my vehicle. It was months. The other, the local comic shop owner brought it to Edmonton when he was attending an event here, but I waited months for that one as well. Shipping from Calgary to Edmonton ( a 3 hour drive ) was astronomical ( 100's of dollars! ) and it is easily double from the United States. It is the oddball shape and size.
  15. Mine holds golden age books, and in some pockets it even holds slabs. I wonder if there is a way to determine the age of the spinner?
  16. Mine has 5 sides x 10 pockets per side, it is the "Best in Comics / Hey Kids!" version from the 70's.
