Corner of the comic room with some favorites absolutes and omnibus, so far that Swampy is my favorite even with the new coloring, hopefully the next volume doesn't get cancel as DC's recent history with chopping books off their schedule!

Sweet collection!

Are those MOTU figures originals or the commemorative editions?

Holy smokes! That's crazy ...

Was it this one?

Cash ... deal. That's hilarious!  

Wow, that's a lot of money for some Pokémon cards ...

I know this is off topic, but I really dislike the casting of Robert Pattison as Batman as well.  I colleague of mine says he is a great actor.  That may be true, but as Batman, I just don't see it.

I absolutely hated Jared Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad."  I also didn't like that he was cast as Morbius.  He was good in "Requiem for a Dream" though.

I'm sure you're aware the census only shows three Universal graded copies, one each in 9.4, 9.6, and 9.8. Do you know who has the 9.6? Are you finding raw copies anywhere that could be possible candidates?  

Actually, no didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

I have no idea who has the 9.6 or 9.8.

As for copies, the only place I find this book is on eBay.

SWEET!!

I only have 3 friends that collect comics, and none have them have ever taken to my suggestion that they sign up for the CGC Boards. One of them has a very nice collection of slabbed Neal Adams Batman books, but still no dice. I can’t blame them though; I am not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram …  

IIRC, I signed up because I was looking for a 9.8 Valiant Comics WWF: Ultimate Warrior Workout Comic Book after I lost out on an eBay auction. My thought was that if I was going to find one, this would be the best place to look. Unfortunately, I am still searching. I do have a 9.4 though …

That said, I don’t post that much, but I enjoying reading the threads and looking at other people’s collections.

I don’t know about the “Old Guard”, so I don’t have anything to say about that. Everyone I have spoken to or dealt with on here has been very nice.

I think I can sum it up in one word – FOCUS (funny that I always preach this to my son, but don’t really follow it myself).

Cull my action figure collection and FOCUS on a couple of lines.

Scale back my weekly pull list and stop chasing all the variants (that in the end really mean next to nothing to me).

Purchase one of my grail books - WWBN #32, DD #1 or Aquaman #1.

Beautiful book ...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just wanted to let my fellow "boardies" know that I finally opened the gift from my Secret Santa yesterday who happened to be thirdgreenham himself!!!!

My apologies for the delay...my wife had a massive heart attack on the evening of Monday December 16th, they can't figure out how she survived a 100% blockage of the "widow-maker" artery. She is now the proud owner of a "full metal jacket" in her heart and is now home resting. So it's been a whirlwind two weeks...when i get a chance I will upload photos of the comics.

Thirdgreenham sent me a pile of Bronze Age Batman comics that look like he went through Doom's time platform to purchase them new off the shelf in the 1970's then immediately return to our time...fantastic assortment of BATMANs indeed! Thank you so much for the BATMAN comics...I would have never expected such an awesome gift like this, you have far surpassed my expectations 

Brian

That's terrible, but good to hear she is okay.  I wish you and your family good health and prosperity in 2020!!  Take care ...

To follow up:

I read Essex County yesterday in just over 1 sitting. 
what an excellent read. Thanks again, Secret Santa!!  

It really is a great piece of Canadian literature.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I got this wonderful book by Jeff Lemire, Essex County. I’m really looking forward to it!  
thank you, Secret Santa!!  

(although, you’re not supposed to be secret anymore, when the present is opened...  ) 

Happy Holidays!  

D'oh ... sorry, didn't know I was to reveal.  Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.  All the best in the new year!

Also, hope that the person who receives my gift likes it.

Brian aka Camper49 was my secret Santa. He did great with my gift! Thank you, you nailed it. Plenty of great reading ahead for me. I do Hanukkah, so here are the pictures. @CAMPER49

Wow! That is fantastic!!

Got my package on Wednesday.  Many thanks to me Secret Santa

Mailed mine out this morning.  Paid extra to ensure it is delivered before Christmas ... hope my Secret Santa like it.   

Shipping to Canada okay?

I think you have received some sound advice.  Personally, I would return it, but at the same time I would like to know CGC's position on this matter. I mean clearly, that is not what a collector would consider a 9.8.
