  1. I had a friend who showed up to an outdoor gathering wearing one of those. I'm not sure what he was thinking, but he was ridiculed and I never saw the jacket again.
  2. Best thing since sliced beer! Just sold a book they had in stock fot ten days. I'd expected 250-300 for it, priced it high at $350 and negotiated it to $336.
  3. As of today, I have about a dozen books processing, but these are books I bought from them and then consigned back so they were in house the whole time. I have a batch of raws on the way, I'll track their progress a little better. I'm surprised people are upset about not getting their books listed quicker. Have they looked at the alternatives? My sales have been incredible, averaging around two grand a week since the beginning of the year, with most selling well above what I was hoping for.
  4. I don't have an issue with it being considered SA. It came out around the time the Martian Manhunter and Captain Comet debuted so its not much of a stretch. Calling it key is strange. It's certainly scarce, and expensive but key?
  5. The 2nd Age ended with that alliance. It lasted thousands of years . As did the 3rd Age.
  6. I would think any legal claim the original owner had to these books is long gone. I also don't see how exposing the identity of the family will help anyone. If they wished to be publicly identified, they'd have done so. I don't know Mr. Dumas but he seems like a good man who dedicated his life to one cause. I will respect his privacy and think anyone of good will should do the same.
  7. If you are going to consider Sugar and Spike a key book, how is the Congo Bill series not key? S&S1 may be rare, but how is it a key book?
  8. Whatever MCS may lack in speed of setting up, they make up for it with the speed they process payments. Considering the weather and covid, I think they are doing fine. Anything from before 1-28 has been processed and is available for purchase. Thats 1-28-2022 for those of you who use CGC.
  9. It is a great place to visit, and it certainly has more than it's share of quirky residents. As our town motto says- Bisbee: We are all here because we are not all there.
  10. Thats because it is fairly easy to put together an early Legion run. I have a run that includes all their Pre-Adventure 300 appearences, the Adventure and Action run and then The Superboy and Legion title up until it stasrted reprinting the Baxter run. The only expensive book was the #247. Silver Age Legions consist of less than 100 issues and almost all are dirt cheap. Bronze Age Legions have no expensive issues, nor do the Copper Age series.
  11. I'm not very familiar with the Wonder Twins, but what is wrong with a movie being geared to a younger audience? Movies like Spy Kids and Shark Boy seem to have done well at the box office while appealing to younger fans.
  12. Jesus loves you, and that is all that matters.
  13. A years worth of MCS consignment checks. MCS has been berry, berry good to me!
  14. CGC doesn't care if the signature is real, only that they witnessed it.
  15. Unless you negotiated a price that was about 50% off his asking price, you certainly aren't getting a very good deal. I don't see any indications of the seller being dishonest, but his price is out of line.
  16. Adventure 210 is pretty scarce. I think it is a key book but I'm a dog lover.
  17. I spend a lot of money on tape but wrapping boxes with movers wrap or many layers of tape keeps them from accidently opening, or even being torn apart. I consider each layer of tape an extra layer of protection. Tape is like cowbell. You simply can't have too much of it.
  18. Short boxes ship better than long boxes. You can also search your local recycling for a box big enough for the short box to fit in and fill the rest with packing materials. With comic boxes, realize the various handlers will be grabbing the hand holes so keep that in mind when putting the books in. Do not tape over the handholes.
  19. Put another lid under the box and wrap the box with a movers plastic wrap and it will be fine. Here is the thing- shipping books like that isn't cheap. You might be better off purging the books you don't want ahead of time or you'll spend more on shipping than they are worth.
