  1. Oops, totally forgot about this. Can I just be tacked on for random whatever. The prizes all look great. I see someone has gotten mine, do I'll be putting that together.
  2. I was advised I have the candy canes going the wrong way.
  3. I usually paint a card for my wife on Christmas ("from" me and the kids) and Valentine's, sometimes mother's day, I buy one for birthday and anniversary...
  4. Thanks comicsforall for some 1000s, which I do not have and were immediately claimed by the 8 year old, some x-men, also immediately claimed by the 8 year old, and some dc hardcovers, immediately claimed by the 14 year old (he hates reading monthlies)-- although I am going to steal back the 1000s and black mirror to read during this vacation. And my wife was very impressed by the fancy red velvet card from papyrus, which I will probably figure out a way to reuse..
  5. I posted a tax bulletin here from NY that basically said a used comic sale is not taxable up to the cover price. Beyond cover sales tax applies. Good luck getting ebay to figure that out.
  6. It would be nice if comics published stuff like this... Fan art or even pro art from someone trying to get exposure. Would probably guarantee 5 or 10 extra issues sold.
  7. I realize I did not include a note or anything with the package, although the recipient ought to know from the return address who it is from. Should show up Monday or Tuesday as it is only 2 hours away.
  8. I want to watch the movie all the way through, but I need to get 8 hours of sleep and have a big cup of ice coffee.
  9. Where are there underpriced gold slabs on eBay?
  10. Well, since you don't know what you sent, I guess it is all speculation. Probably more like $4-5 than $2, yeah, but they have SA books up there in VG for $2 as well. My guess is that what you thought were higher grade books they decided were mid grade or worse and paid accordingly. They price a lot of stuff in 6.0 or less to move. And the fact is with your run of the mill early 70s stuff they seem to have 5+ copies of that stuff in mid-grade already, so my guess is that their A.I. maybe pays less for stuff they have a bunch of? Hey conan, I missed your 10% off, when are you doing that again???
  11. If they grade them at 6.0-7.0 then many books like those are $2-4 on their site. So shelling out $1.28 a pop does not seem nuts. Hack, they probably barely make a profit when you factor in other costs. You would have gotten $2 a pop here for many of them, but it would have been work.
  12. The book already popped when he became relevant in the comics, I don't see a secondary big movie spike. Unless he is awesome in the movie.
  13. You have plenty too add. You do a genuine online business on can coherently comment on the market. I spout out opinions based on less than $500 a month in sales.
  14. I make offers and they are accepted often enough. I accept offers.
  15. Only 25 copies? Do they just print one for each contributor? https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARTOON-LOONACY-98-comix-FITZGERALD-Vojtko-THREE-STOOGES-Beatles-APA-2009/163501868898?hash=item2611788762:g:qUYAAOSw84ZcSPVM
  16. That is an interesting array of potential venues for his work ... Hustler/Sex to Sexty vs. Good Houseekeeping and "mommy taking kid shopping" coloring book. The guy had a dream, had some stuff published, but I guess it was never enough to get out of the grocery store. Edit: Actually, looking on the internet he pubished a lot of stuff. I just guess it never got past the point of "side hustle" big enough to get him out of the grocery store. Who knows, he probably got bumped up to manager and was making too much $ to quit.. someone is trying to sell the coloring book on ebay for $49.99!.
  17. What was this made for? Given out to friends? Sold at his favorite head shop? Just curious.
  18. Good luck. Christmas week I sort through my 2 conan longies and determine whether I have a full set.
  19. That 9.6ses don't do so well may limit submissions too: $25 (from the other company): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-428-Holiday-1988-DC-White-Cbsc-9-6-CGC-Universal-Grade-NM/392569525083?epid=85360914&hash=item5b66f7935b:g:qDQAAOSwvJVd5xpA $41 (from cgc): https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-428-CGC-9-6-COVER-Robin-Jason-Todd-Death-In-The-Family/163943195980?hash=item262bc6a54c:g:fWAAAOSwZy1dzHMf most of the cgc ones do better than that though never understood why this cover didn't do better: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-399-CGC-9-6-White-Pages-DC-Comics-1986-/383268550983?hash=item593c95f947%3Ag%3AMQMAAOSw7UBdzu2x&nma=true&si=k5rBGBi%2BuujbAIA%2FqNJ8cW9pcBQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
