looking forward to pics of this show and hearing about everyone's experience at the show this weekend.

come on people, lets see pics!!

great book, with white pages to boot! if i collected tecs i would be all over this! GLWTS!

so after plodding through ep 6, i started ep 7 now and after 20 minutes i realized that i just dont care anymore. they blew it. after replacing milly alcock, who i had grown to love in the role of rhaenrya, they also seem now to have decided to dwell on a bunch of children for the whole first part of this episode. all the depth of character of the original series is gone, even matt smith's daemon, who had been one of the bright spots as an interesting and complicated character, is now boring and babyish.

not commenting on j in particular, but it's easy to overlook the fact that so many of us on the boards have our biases depending on whether or not we own copies of a book. if we do, we want values to increase and we are resistant to possible news that our book's value is declining. and if we're in the market to buy, of course we want prices to tank so we can get it at a better price. i try to base my views in reality but i am well aware that i am very biased too.

what era? any pics?

this is so true. i remember that for several years it more or less plateaued around 2017-2020. then the pandemic happened and it exploded. like with all books now, it is cooling, and may lie dormant for awhile. as spidey is likely to continue to remain the most popular superhero IN THE WORLD for the foreseeable future (my in-laws in japan can verify this at least in that one country) when things start looking bright again financially, it seems a good bet that todays AF15 prices will once again seem like deals. if only i had a couple hundred grand lying around, i'd buy 3 or 4 copies!

if you recall, another boardie who used to work for CC recently alleged here that he witnessed metro bidding on and buying books in cc's auctions regularly. an auction house being owned and operated by a major comics reseller is a recipe for shenanigans and allegations. i would 100% ignore this result.

usps is dicey and their claims process is a nightmare. fedex ground is now virtually the same price as priority mail and far more secure. their claims go quickly for the most part in my experience. however they have limits on the insurance that they offer. if you have a policy through CIS that covers all your shipments to and from.
