The Less Blob

This is true.

Well, I dunno about that, depends on whether you have a high strung kook buying from you

I am probably going to get a zero from this guy on shipping time because I shipped it within the 5 business days stated in my listing, but he wanted it to go out in 2. Never mind that he will get it 10days before ebays estimated time as I am shipping it first class (at a loss to me), and not media or some such nonsense that will take 3 weeks. He seems very high strung. This sale is not going to go well. And it is on a book I already lost $5 on because someone never paid and I forgot to notify ebay.

You sell slabs. You have good overall feedback. I don't think they care.

Keys in slabs are not necessarily priced crazy over there (some sellers know the market, price around GPA (and say what GPA is, etc.). It's the raw books with lousy pics and intentionally mushy grading.

There is a guy who posts a book every few hours. He always claims the book was bought off the rack and put away for the last 30-50 years (he even said that for an autographed book). And then he attaches some $25-$100 price to no matter what. I never see anyone respond. I want to call him out on this nonsense he is trying to infer that these are pristine original owner books and such, but its really none of my business.

Don't overestimate the ease that any of us have finding scores in the states. They're drying up. Pretty amazing getting some nearly 40 year old 9.8s out of your find.

My old store ordered a case of Thor 339. He still had them in wrappers 17 years later. If he had not closed he'd probably still have a few hundred copies in wrappers.

Dealers pay that here? I sold my x-men 1 here and a big dealer was willing to pay the most. I probably could have done better on eBay but risked the chance of a buyer deciding it was A 1.5 not a 1.8, etc. He probably knew he had an easy $100-200 flip to a customer.

After being pretty active December - early February I have once again lost my ebay drive. I even passed on buying a pretty easy Ebay $20-25 sale for $5 from a street guy. I just didn't feel like sinking $5 into it. And I knew it would just go into the limitless "to sell" pile and not get listed.

If it is cheap enough, sure. But yes, I don't like it.

Some of the MSH 18 folks at least show up in GOTG 2.

Well, the comic was gone for 15 or whatever years. I am assuming the folks who enjoyed reading it are mostly still alive. I think if you regularly read a comic there is a decent shot you would check out the show, even 15 years later. But at the end of the day those 15-35,000 people really don't matter much for ratings. As for whether we had a thread here, there is one with 475 posts, but folks seem to have lost interest by mid-2018, so comic nerds clearly weren't the force behind a season 4 getting ordered.

Weren't the print runs around 50-75K for most of the preacher books? I figured 1/3 - 1/2 actually read them. I know my older brother read that title voraciously and then gave me all his copies, which, of course, I sold immediately upon the news of the show coming.

Is it just me, or does this seem like a pretty extra common book for its era? Koch had badjillions of them, which makes me think warehouse finds. it was an easy $5-$10 books on ebay for a long time, not in 9.8, but nice copies. I could not get 1/3 of guide for years for 9.0 - 9.4 copies. I know, things change. I can't believe how many of these I unloaded for 1/4 - 1/3 or less of guide.

all the time. I have a book I am mini hoarding at the right price. I watch and forget. easy come easy go though.

She will be teaming up with Jessica Jones as PIs. They will be drunk 90% of each episode. I think we need an alcoholic gal PI show. Hoda and Cathy Lee just don't cut it.

Yet it got renewed for a 4th season. Go figure. I will admit, I did not read the comic. It is a show my wife is cool with, so we watch it. I don't think the 25,000 or so fans of the comic make or break the ratings, but yeah, they do inspire 9.8 prices

Capable, yes, but not gonna do it.

Yes. Seriously, the center on my high school basketball team was 6' 7". He had trouble benching 80 pounds.

That I doubt (you carried the 9 too far). There are a lot of skinny wimpy 6' 5" dudes and there have got to be some tough as nails 5' 2" martial arts masters and boxing ladies out there.

Is Thanos's reign of terror limited to our galaxy? (Wasn't his finger snapping the universe?) Meaning if CM has been off hiding Skrulls a few galaxies away, is it possible that she didn't have dealings with Thanos?

Someone's opinion. They don't know all the beings? With that said, we have no idea how long Binary can be Binary. Is she "god like" for a 5 minute burst? 2 minutes? 1 minute? And if she has to cool down for a bit, is she vulnerable then? (It seems so) re-Reading X-Men 166 (and not really remembering much about her from other comics) it seems she can get messed up having a whole fleet blasting away at her ..she needed to Starjammers to rescue her.

Was she wearing the funky costume before her transformation? I'll buy the spawning of new powers, but not a costume magically appearing.

I am just curious what you think is the defect that will get pressed out in that SF #1?
