Boobs are timeless

Because you can't predict what buyers will do and how much or how little they will pay. That's called human nature and sometimes it doesn't make sense. I watch people overpay for stuff on ebay because they prefer to buy from a certain seller, all the while they could have had the same item from another seller in comparable condition for less money. It makes no sense, but then humans often don't make much sense.

FO1 should be on Steam and FO2 on GOG. Actually, they might both be on GOG

That's a crime. Go get Fallout and play it and then get Fallout 2 and play it.

I think you should press it as many times as it takes to compress into a single sheet of paper.

Highly improbable for anyone to give you any sort of an accurate opinion based on those pictures. Oh, and wrong forum, old chap.

First Trailer for Potato, The Bakening Don't click if you don't want spoilers

Are you telling us to Google image search “Tub Girl?” Hey, whatever happens in your google stays in your google.

Just pre-ordered 10 copies of Tuber # 1, first appearance of "Eyes" MacKenzie, (Spud's MacKenzie's son) rumored to be appearing in the upcoming blockbuster comic based film, Potato The Bakening. It's gonna be HOT!

If it's a really hot book is it a loaded Hot Potato book with lots of toppings?

I was thinking about the Flintstones the other day. Great franchise. I loved it as a kid and still do but it hasn't been very active lately. A few weeks ago, I saw a Flintstones cereal commercial on TV and it occurred to me that most kids these days, if they even know who the Flintstones are, are more familiar with the cereal than the cartoon and it's place in history. Scooby Doo does not suffer from that lack of recognition.

Thors 1st app. is actually carved into granite in germanic glyph on a hill right above where Hitlers Fuhrer underground complex was originally situated. 👍 CGC can't slab that.

You could do that with mylar, a fullback board, and storing it in the right conditions for paper storage for little cost. Why not use that $133.30 on another comic instead of shoving it in the CGC/CCS money sink, for very little gain.

I have to apologize to the boards. This was the result of me telling gadzukes, "If you can't find something to do, I'll find something for you." Not doing that again.

Jim 83 is not really The Thor 1st app. Everything about the character Thor except the visual design is a direct transfer (blatant rip off) from ancient Northern mythology. Okay, who has some ancient Germanic texts for sale? Anyone? Bob Storms?

Comic books rose in value long before there were modern movies about the characters.

Given that AF 15 is the # 1 key in the silver age, it's not difficult to understand why it's surged in value. AF 15 doesn't need any external stimuli beyond that fact. Having said that, an adjustment if even only a small one is long overdue on this book. I think peewee is correct. A year from now we'll be discussing yet another upward trend.

I'm not sure what we're all disagreeing with here. Sure, the collecting medium is different (sports cards vs. comic books) but I don't think it's such a bad analogy. Not perfect but it gets the point across for me. Sports cards - XRC (cards that were released in Topps year end extended sets and not part of a regular set) and minor league cards = Not true rookie cards (but often the first card to feature a player). Comic books - Comic characters that appear in a preview book before the true first app (example, the aforementioned Darkhawk appearance in Marvel Age 97) = Not a true first appearance (but the first time the character appeared.) In both cases, the XRC or minor league cards is not the true rookie card and not the card that collectors focus on when desiring to own the true hobby accepted rookie card. Similarly, the preview comic that just happens to feature a character before it appears in a sequential comic book is not a true first appearance and not the comic that collectors focus on when desiring to own the true hobby accepted first appearance or first full appearance. The difference now is that there seems to be a (growing?) fringe element of huckster and opportunist trying to make a buck on the unwary and ignorant by trying to pawn off a preview book as the true first appearance of a character.

Or you can fall back on hyperbole, overreaction, and defensiveness. The whole point of this thread is DISCUSSION. No one is making any mandates and trying to tell you how you should run your sales threads. If you want to continue to use the term, then use it.

That's not "new" to market. Not sure why anyone would use that terminology anyway unless it was literally applied to the an original owner collection or pedigree that (again literally) had never been offered on the comic market before. Is saying "new to market" a sales tactic that makes people salivate? oooh, new to market. Must be ultra special. By the way, "New to market" could also be used to describe old comics that have been baking in someone's attic in Georgia for the last 50 years. EDIT - Or. what Red84 said three posts above
