  1. Gemini.com or PayPal two name a couple.
  2. Back in 2012 I built a bitcoin mining rig. Just for fun! In 2020 I tried to get on the bitcoin blockchain. It took nearly a week. Exchanges are not easy either. There are barriers to entry that most people that don’t understand crypto are not aware of. It is for this reason I don’t think there’s as many crypto comic collectors as one would imagine. With respect to market trends, I don’t see any pullback for GA quality material.
  3. I don’t think I made myself clear when I created this topic. Signatures from the golden age were common amongst the kids that collected comics. Some had personal ink stamps to brand their property. Here is another from the Arlene Nichols collection.
  4. ‘Come and enjoy the diversity of genres, encased in sustainable plastic.
  5. Post your famous or infamous signed GA comic.
  6. 2021 was the year I sold off my 70+ raw flash comics collection (avg. VG) on eBay, over a four week period in October/November. My pre-sale collection estimate was about half of what the collection sold for. Anticipating eBay policy of ‘the buyer is always right’, I got pinched only one time. Having navigated eBay waters for eons, I chalked it up to ‘cost of doing business’. I feel fortunate that my WWII, Korean War, PCH, Romance bingo card had been fulfilled years ago.
  7. 2021 was a year of lamentations for tabcom. Equally painful were the declining health issues coupled with a comic book market accelerating beyond my reach. Therefore, I prefer to look back to the year 2020 one more time.
  8. Sticker was added by the submitter, post graded.
  9. This topic has officially become Clickbait.
  10. Comic book collecting has gone from geek niche to mainstream. Paging Mitch, ‘is it a good time to buy Comics’?
  11. 2021 #regradepromisecollection campaign. All buyers of the collection return the items to CGC. Demanding that the grades be reevaluated down by two points. Taking a stand, together we can fight injustice.
  12. ‘Small sticker attached to front cover’ notation would be most beneficial if it was coupled with ‘comic book encapsulated in plastic.’
