  1. Well, ran all the numbers though the tax software. I didn't sell a lot of items over the year, but what I did sell added up to quite a bit. This is gonna be a realbutt hurt for me.
  2. I'm in the unfortunate position of having to pay capital gains tax this year for a sale of a collectible. This leads to a question where I just can't seem to find a clear answer. Is there a threshold amount before an item is reportable or do I have to lump the sale of all collectibles into one amount when reporting? I.e. if I sold a book or sports card for $100k, I know I need to report the capital gains on the 100k sale, but what about all the smaller $10, $20, $50 sales I made throughout the year? Do I need to sum all these little sales for year or is (in this hypothetical example) only items sold $100k and above? FYI, I do not have a 1099 for the sale. Thx for any help.
  3. Not the '70s, but I worked in a LCS from '83-'84. Prior to that, I was a frequent customer from '78 so I knew the business.
  4. This was a great issue. I still have raw copy of it somewhere. It was one of my last books just before I quit collecting comics back in the mid-80s. Just so happens, this is one of the few books I still kept. Probably because of the Stevens cover, but the rest of the book was just as great.
  5. Wow. Great price. Congrats to the seller and buyer. Great looking 9.0.
  6. A must have for Demon fans.
  7. I'm OK with this wrap. No white stripe on the front. Much better this way than in the other direction.
  8. Congrats. Slowing selling off my sports card collection right now. Might hit it big this year if the market holds up. Enough for me to not worry about my job any more and allow me the time to slowly sell off my comic collection. As much as I love all the junk I accumulate, at some point you need to sell and move onto other things.
  9. It might be the scan, but the book looks good to me, especially for the grade. The cover has always been somewhat muted anyway. I haven't seen too many where the colors are overly saturated.
  10. I remember that book was a real hot item back in day. It's a shame the whole sword and sorcery genre is nowhere near as popular as it should be.
  11. I've always preferred 476 as well. Classic cover in my opinion. I think the story arc is only mediocre though, but that may be just me reading the story late after all these years with a modern perspective. The issue was on the stands when I was still collecting during HS, but never bothered with it.
