  1. Looks interesting and I can see using the site.  For some of the sources where you list results, I ended up with the "dreaded" (to me) double-scroll bar.  It doesn't seem to do that with the eBay results.  Also, being able to list all results with a column as to the "source" would be nice as well.

    Nearly 1.25 million people are killed in car accidents each year. That means, on average, auto accidents cause 3,287 deaths per day. An additional 20-50 million people are injured or disabled.

     

    Where the outrage in this? Why in heavens name are we even able to drive these death traps? I feel government should shut down all roads until we get a handle on this. The automobile industry should be held account for not acting on this fast enough.

    Those numbers seem high, so I'm guessing those are worldwide numbers.

    In 2018, according the NHTSA, the number of US auto fatalities was just over 36K (over 12 months - averaging around 98/day).

    As of today, the number of COVID19 fatalies in the US was 72K (over 2-3 months - with 877+ today).

    The "Fatalities per 100M miles traveled" has gone down significantly over the past several decades, possibly due to the numerous safety measures being enacted.

  3. I think I posted before,  but this is my favorite Punisher cover - because Tim Duncan.  He also owns a custom car shop in town,  and the car pictured on the cover was one he actually built and raffled for charity (and was signed by Stan Lee!)   I had this book signed by Mike Choi in person,  and is the only time I've been able to have my books personally signed so far. But those darn Newton rings!  :frustrated:

  4. Funny, my daughter checked out that book this week from the library for a book report (also got the Clara Barton one).  Except hers is titled "Who Is Stan Lee" and was published in 2014.  Same picture on the cover.

    There's many of these types of books from the publisher, and it has a listing  in there of around 100 or so other books about various people. 

  5. After a 25-year or so break from collecting, decided to get back into the hobby a couple years ago.  Not sure what prompted it, but i think i saw a new LCS open up and I stopped in to check it out.  After researching comics online, and this "new" grading concept, I bought my first graded comic during a 15% off sale on eBay; a Star Wars (1977) #1 9.6 WP (because Star Wars!).

    At least something good came of my redundant thread. This show is so good I have a feeling this thread will have some staying power, so to have it named correctly will pay dividends for months to come...

    Dumb question I’m sure but I just got Disney+. There are more episodes (Chapters) coming right? If so does anyone know how many?

    5 more chapters this season, released every Friday

    Clearly no one or nothing dies in Star Wars, ever.  Palpitation.  Darth Maul.  That melty Vader mask.  Luke's lightsaber.  Probably Luke's old hand.  Greedo. 

    It's maddening.

    Unlike comic books, where the heroes and villains stay dead! :nyah:

    Although a one-off movie starring Luke's old hand might have promise hm
