  1. Thank you for sharing. Saw you mentioned Scooby-Doo. Any coming up?
  2. I'm the buyer. I had the winning bid at $290 but was ran up at the last minute. I really didn't want to pay this much, but this book hardly ever comes up for sale. This purchase leaves me 2 books away from a full graded run. For me, Scooby Marvel is more scarce than hot. It feels like there are only a few of us competing against each other for these books. Being so close to completing my set has made it harder to pass this book up.
  3. Thanks @Mecha_Fantastic for the welcome. I will definitely check Dynamo 5 out. Just finished East of West, Descender, Black Science and Jim Zub's Baldur's Gate works. Half way through Sandman which I can't believe I wanted this long to read. Huge Gaiman fan. And thanks to everyone else that said hi.
  4. I started trying to join many, many years ago. But the forum software thought my totally awesome email address was fake and would never deliver the confirmation link Finally, I decided to try another email address and was able to sign up. After 5+ years of trying to search the forums and having to wait 60 seconds to fix my search typo and try again, I decided maybe I need to post a few things to see if searching gets any better. Hi Mr. Moderator. Please and Thank You!
  5. Hi Everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. First started seriously collecting as a kid in the 80's around the end of Secret Wars I. Up until then, I bought a few books here and there, but Secret Wars I was the books that turned me into a monthly buyer. Spent my allowance on books until I got a car, then slowly phased out. Stopped buy all together around ASM 287. Yea..... Thanks a lot Todd!!!!!!! Talk about timing. As a kid I loved Marvel, especially Spider-Man, X-Men and Alpha Flight. Loved DC Green Lantern and odd books about Animal Super Heroes that talk like Captain Carrot, Spider-Ham and THUNDERBUNNY. You may recognize that last one from The League of Regrettable Superheroes. At one time, I was the proud owner of the single Highest Grade CGC 9.6 copy of Charlton Bullseye #6, First Appearance of THUNDERBUNNY. But I see there are 5 total copies on the census now. Hi Fellow THUNDERBUNNY fans! All 4 of you. I wouldn't do much with comics for the next 20 years until I had a daughter. As much as I loved talking bunnies, I was really hooked on talking dogs. Especially one Mr Scobbert Doo. I loved rewatching all the classic Scooby Doo's cartoons with my daughter and discovering new one's. At some point, I decided I wanted to pick up collecting comic books again, but this time I wanted to be a bit more focused. Based on our shared love of Scooby Doo, I thought I'd do this with my daughter. I saw that Scooby Doo's Gold Key series only had 30 books. I thought how hard could it be to find 30 really nice copies of a nearly 40 year old comic series (now almost 50) about a talking dog that 2+ generations grew up on. Sigh, 10+ years latter and I'm 5 books away from having a fully graded set. I've been outbid so many times by some of you folks that I'm surprised I found 25 of 30. I did manage 1 solo high grade book Gold Key Scooby book and I'm on the registry now. Woohoo! Thanks for the hand me down grades as you upgraded your copy. Sheesh, tough crowd. As an older collector, I've been lucky enough to pick up a few grails like a single wrap from AF15. I mean, geez, it's not like I could afford all those Gold Key Scooby Doo's and a pristine copy of AF 15. Along the way, I took my daughter to meet Stan Lee (RIP), made a few friends that loved collecting as much as I do and discovered that I love reading modern sci-fi and fantasy comic series. Image and Veritgo back issues are my go to for reading now with all their awesome sci-fi/fantasy series, but my heart still beats like that kid from the 80's who loved Spider-Man, Chris Claremont's X-Men and dreamed that one day the 53,247 copies of Darker Image #1 I stashed away would make him a gazillionaire. PS If you're a THUNDERBUNNY fan and would like to join the elite ranks of 4 other CGC 9.6 fans, shoot me a message. I can't promise it'll be cheap, but I may consider selling. ;-)
