    What a shame. It sounds like his vision is going, not that his hands can't do it anymore. I hope he gets a lot of royalties so he can at least be comfortable financially.

    Didn't Perez leave before Miller who I think went before Byrne. It was over the course of a few years. With that said, Perez was up there in the 80s.

    These things are worth about treefiddy in decent shape

    I am guessing this must be the case given how nice copies of heroic printed during ww II seem to go so cheap. Either that or a warehouse find. I was sucked in by a pretty cover and made an offer on a book at half ask and half guide looking to lowball, but looking at auction results on other issues that was actually high. Seller countered with a number in the middle. I think I will pass.
  5. The Less Blob
    You are looking for a clean break?
  6. The Less Blob
    Same question for Heroic Comics... Great painted covers, but are they all reprints too?
  7. The Less Blob
    Ok, that gives me optimism

    Jeez, I was all excited I got a hulk 377 for under $1 (let's forget about the other $69 I spent on more questionable stuff)

    You know what you are doing.

    Not necessarily the results cited here, but overall there may be Self selection bias. Fewer books will be sent in where they are obvious overgrades (or sketchy for resto), which may skew this toward many books coming back the same grade. Otoh, heritage deems one of these companies good enough for their auctions, so maybe there isn't a genuine difference. Indeed, that one does not even seem to charge less after factoring in discounts?

    #16, and I meant to list it, because it is something I am trying to stick to, and have done thus far this year Do not buy lunch at work. Obviously there may be exceptions for a going away lunch or whatever, but aside from a weight loss issue (hard to know what is going in the food I buy), I can easily spend $40-50+ a week on lunch around here. Better to save that money and put it toward debt reduction, comic acquisition, home repair, or my half of a family vacation.

    Oh come on, this is madness!

    "4. Get my feet fixed. Getting old sucks " seriously, I lose the 35 pounds and NOW my foot is always hurting. i might have gout.

    Frustrating. The electric company shut off my electricity for a minute while updating my meter. The next day the fridge is dead (but the lights turn on). I wonder if they short circuited something, but if they did, why did it take a day? Maybe just coincidence.

    That is it. Yeah, magazine is in the title, but the later issues are just fat comics. This is not quite magazine dimensions, just big GA, but fat too. Fatter than a typical square bound, more like a fat pulp. On the fence over slabbing as it needs a press to get a spine roll out, so after all that I would have $115 or so "in" a book that is about $200 OPG VG. Dunno what FMV is though in a slab. Doesn't have a sexy (as archies go...) B&V cover or something funny/risque that seems to jack these up, just a lot of $ in guide and presumably not that easy to find. I kind of would like it in a slab though.

    I have 2 and 4 and 2 seems a little bigger than 4.

    I can't remember phone numbers, locker combos, or my Amazon Prime pin.

    Fact is he works better as a regular marvel baddie (or at least neutral) than in the context of the x-men
  19. The Less Blob
    He was so poorly done in the crime against humanity known as x-men last stand that it may have taken #12 more than a decade to recover. One of my favorite characters. Still done one dimensionally in deadpool 2, but that was a comedy.
  20. The Less Blob
    Hah, I had wrong issue AND wrong title for 1st copycat. My brain might have hit the limit for comic minutia and has started deleting files!
  21. The Less Blob
    I thought you were referring to new x-men 12... I thought maybe that was first copycat. 1st juggie probably bounced because it had been relatively affordable and a 1st of a cool underrated character.
  22. The Less Blob
    NM 87 got a bump, but the world knew for a while he was going to make it into a movie, so by the time the movie was coming out I think it had already gone up. I am pretty sure i tried to sell a nice copy for $50 a few years back with no takers. NM 87 was not really a heavily printed book. X-Men 12 had a billion copies printed.

    CLink may be shipping millions of $ in books to NY (and used to be here), so that's probably it. Same for CA and Florida I assume.
  24. The Less Blob
    Will CGC slab this as a GA book or a magazine (and charge me more). It seems kind of big.
  25. The Less Blob
    You aren't. Seems like the market for this book might be in the $300s, possibly $200s, Sorry. Stan Lee had virtually nothing to do with Cable or anything to do with the book, so that factors in. If Rob Liefield has an untimely death, maybe it jumps. He has only signed 1 billion SS books compared to Stan's 3 billion.
