wondering what happened to the forum post(s) re the info and app for key comics, I know that the developer came on a little strong and may have rubbed some members the wrong way initially but actually the app is really pretty neat and hate to see anyone with new ideas feel they are less than welcome here. But I noticed that posts were removed and wondering why? 

I enjoy the app quite a bit , was just using it a few mins ago to find more Christmas presents for myself!

Got my carnage in the other day.

 

Here's my new setup since moved into a house earlier this year.

 

Now just waiting for sideshow thanos, iron studios punisher and prime1 venom to come in to help fill up all my empty cabinets

I as well am eagerly awaiting sideshow Thanos and iron studios punisher?, nice set up with the shelves!

Keep the 181, wolverine has been popular as a character since he came around , and having a nice grade in his first appearance is both ; a safe investment, and a pretty cool comic to own!

Wow. Any guesses on final hammer price?

That's what I use and I haven't had a problem even though I live in area that goes through significant swings in temperature and humidity across the year.  When this issue has been discussed before, someone suggested asking your bank if they keep the air conditioning on during nights and weekends.  Mine says it does, but who knows what they really do?

With respect to safes v. safety deposit boxes in banks, you do run the risk with a safe of calling attention to the fact that you probably have something valuable inside.  The average druggie looking for something to grab and run with will be deterred but someone more professional presumably will be able to get in.  Smaller safes, of course, can also be carried away.

But, then again, if you keep your books in a safe, you've got them available to look at without the hassle of driving to the bank.

i ended up ordering a bunch of stuff from Eva-dry , including Color changing silica gel packs for my deposit boxes https://www.eva-dry.com/dehumidifiers/e-150-moisture-eliminator-pouches better safe than sorry , and I figure it’s a good habit to get into . 

As far as the safes vs deposit boxes goes, I’m opposed to keeping the higher end ones at home mainly for security reasons. I agree that the safe itself paints an immediate bullseye on itself in the event of a burglary.

 it’s definitely cool! Thanks

When was the last time a high(er) universal grade like that  came up for auction ?

I grabbed this page , was pretty cheap, and an all around fun image

Prices seem fair to high for the good stuff. The lower end stuff though did go cheaply. 80 bucks for a half page Bagley splash? Regardless if it's the defunct Ultimate line, someone scored some nice published art for twenty bucks more than he charges to draw Spidey's head. And there's lots of other examples like this.... That said. The Lim prices. 800 bucks for the explosion page. I dont know whether to smile, laugh, or cry. 

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the ig page either, higher than I suspected though

I think having the Focused auction on a Friday is really hurting prices. Everybody is out. If this were the middle of the week, I think all lots would be doing better.

For the Featured Auctions, maybe it would matter less. But I still think it makes more sense not to end things on Friday or Saturday night.

Or maybe just auction fatigue? This came right after sept feature auction , and lots are up for the nov/ dec feature auctions at heritage, clink, and comicconnect

I desire a HG copy of this book:   9.0ish. But no way Im gonna dish out 2500 smackers for a universal 9.0.

im wondering: is restored the Way to Go on this book?

Personally I would recommend getting a blue label within your budget , as opposed to a purple or green label. Just be patient and keep an eye on auctions and conventions. If you have your heart set on a 9 ( or so) perhaps search for an upgraded copy and get it graded yourself to save on the initial cost.

Look like the right shape but I suspect they're the 90s version.

I about had an aneurism when I spotted those, knew it was too good to be true

Are those old Captain America sentinels of liberty pins towards the bottom right corner!?

I have a few tracking / low ball bids down on a few pieces, We shall see how they hold up! It’s always a fun time watching the auction none the less!

Thanks for all the effort you put in to chronicling nycc and posting it for all of us! It’s been fun reading this past week!

That marvel comics convention 75 pin????

I like the hologram in the top left of case. Very official

The only time I really ‘speculate’ is if I come across something I need / want and talk myself into purchasing it for fear of it climbing in value due to ‘Buz ‘ of a TV movie project
