The day I met him in Vegas and he did the Batman sketch, I had just bought a New X-Men Omnibus. It completely skipped my mind that he was involved with it. It wasn't until later that night that a board's asked me if he'd signed it that I remembered.

Conan has fought dragons, Frost Giants,giant snakes,wizards, immortals, vampires and more. Tarzan may have fought a lion, but Conan(Amra is a lion.

The Post Office most convenient to me has a large( two foot by two foot) that states Comic books are not eligible for Media Mail. I guess they had issues in the past. I don't use media very often but when I do, I drop them off at another PO and have not had a problem. Over the years, I think I'm two for several hundred as far as problems go. Once was a shipment to Hawaii and the other was opened, but delivered with half the contents missing. I had used several smaller boxes inside a bigger box, and one of the boxes inside had my address on it and was delivered to me as if it was going thru normal channels. Both were board transactions.

I met him at the first Vegas Con and I had the Heroes Initiative Three Minute Sketch book with me. He signed another book for me and asked to look through the sketchbook. To my surprise, he asked if he could do a sketch. He drew a wickedly evil looking Batman in under two minutes. Rest in Peace.

You'd think they would have battery backups for situations like this.

Looks like it is hitting both Sarasota and Tampa. An equal opportunity storm. It obviously hates the slabs.

I gave some thought to moving to The Keys before I decided on Vegas. The possibility of having to go through a hurricane or two a year was one of the deciding factors against it. I still hope to winter there one season.

I cant think of a film that I laughed as much during. It's a very scary, creepy film but has some brilliant comedic moments.

Years ago, I remember reading this, perhaps in a fortune cookie "Find a job you love, and you'll never work another day in your life." What a crock of Shiite. I had tremendous passion for every job I had my entire adult life, but eighteen months in retirement, I'm still coming to terms with just how much I worked. I'm finally getting away from feeling guilty for doing nothing.

Saw It today, and really enjoyed it. I don't read anything about movies and try to avoid online trailers so I went in fresh. 3:45 showing was 95% sold out and I ended up having to sit in the second row, on the right facing the screen. Guy next to me had a giant pretzel, a personal pizza, a bucket of popcorn and a giant soda. That must have set him back $30. Place sells 12 ounce draft beers for $9.50 Third movie I've used my Moviepass for.

Give a fool enough rope.....

First I've ever seen them. Very nice. Are you a pro?

Looking through these today, I think I might have undergraded many of them. From about 117 on, there are a number of candidates for slabbing and possible 9.6+s. On the downside, 108-112 are in the 7.5-8.0 range. Been awhile since I had a buy like this.

I'm sorry, but I think this whole thing stinks, and this nonsense about being already sold to a boardie only deepens my suspicion.

I just paid my policy today. I recently added a safe and spoke to an underwriter to see if it qualified for a discount. It didn't as it isn't 350 pounds. I asked her about this and she wasn't sure., especially as I have a collectors policy, not a dealers. Offered to connect me to an underwriter but I wasn't that interested. The $328 a year I spend on it is a great investment, as far as I'm concerned.

Does insurance, such as CIA, protect a seller in such a situation?

Closed the deal. 101-300, plus X Factor 1-43 for $1300. Then he had a short box of Bronze,, early Copper, best was a NM She Hulk 1 and a couple of Moon knight 1s. $200, so $1500 for everything. Pretty sure I will hold the101-125 and move the rest.

Someone has to ask this. What were you thinking bringing $30,000 worth of comics to a meeting with strangers in a fast food parking lot?

MCS has them pretty, pretty, high.

Cant cherry pick. It's one of the three. I'd love to buy up to 150, but that's not an option.

Thanks. Do the rest move? I know 101-110 and 141-142 sell well, but not sure about the rest.

How are these things selling? I have a chance to buy a supposed OO collection of 101- 300, but he is giving me three options, So I can buy 101-176, or 101-200 or all of them. He graduated HS in 1975, and bagged all the books after buying them from a comic shop, but didn't board them until many years later. A lot of 9.2-9.4s but few 9.8 candidates. Do these still move fairly well? He wants what I think is a pretty fair price for them. My thought is to skip the 201-300 run, although he is only asking $125 for that part if I buy the others. Any advice?

I've found a lot of photos of him and famous people ,circa late 1980s, and several of him in a tux holding an Emmy. Photos of him and friends inside the hall during rehearsals and such, and a couple of him standing by a limo outside a film studio. I'm amazed there is so little on him on the web.

The Chicago team in the WFL was known as The Fire. By the way, My son and his fiancé are on their way to Orlando where they will either hunker down in the Villages at my Uncles place or drive north depending on the path of the storm.
