Me too. Video games are the red light district of the collectibles market -
Top Ten Hitler Covers

Ok @Mutie Fan my “like” above was a joke. there are approximately 395 pages of Gold topics dating back to 2003. I’m reading them all and by doing so am dropping in on approximately 20 year old conversations. It’s like a sci fi movie where the crew has all disappeared, but the dinner is laid out on the table and the coffee is still warm. it’s a fascinating trip backwards, and I’m learning the thoughts and the personalities of boardies long gone. Every now and then, if I’ve got something to say, I’ll bump an old thread. Boardies I thought had long gone will emerge blinking and scratching and saying “who dare disturbeth my sleep!!” And I’ve had the privilege to talk to “some of the old boardies who are still around”. Their 20 year old conversations reveal a sort of timeless knowledge and humor. it’s a deep dive I think many here would find fascinating

Favorite Covers of the Golden Age, what’s yours?
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to eschnit's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
@Cat-Man_America here’s your book and here’s the Promise Collection book. It looks like they were printed one right after the other. The missing green off the sleeve and pant leg of the lower right soldier is the same. -

What are the rarest romance comics?
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to Bo_Hogg's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
That’s definitely GGA. And unless you count Little Orphan Annie, I declare this . . . -
This is in Heritage’s next big auction. I’ve looked at it many times, and much as I love the gag, the browning overpowers me. Still, it remains on the radar . . . it’s currently at $23k with 18 days left, and it’ll probably hit $50k. It pains me to think about, years ago, passing on a Sunday strip thinking $20k was too much

What are the rarest romance comics?
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to Bo_Hogg's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I've read where Young Romance #1 is considered to be the first romance book. Is there a consensus as to the first appearance of Good Girl Art? Or is this an impossible question, with just too many examples that could be considered GGA? -

20 years later it’s still not a great deal. I doubt anyone paying $100k 20 years ago for what turns out to be cold title would disagree

Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
What drives me nuts is the inconsistency. One note for one book might indicate bindery tears and rusty staple, and the next grader note from a book with the same defects will reflect neither condition. This is not an exaggeration and it is not in my head. I've got concrete examples. I guess its just something we must live with. When I buy a book over a certain dollar amount, I will have already gotten the grader notes. Time and again, there are things going on with the book not reflected in the notes, and only visible with the book in hand. I like happy endings, but there's not always a happy ending for some of the bigger acquisitions I've made. -

Good lord it sounds like you all but pulled down his pants and spanked him in front of some power players. And it sounds like the guy deserved it. That was the end of your partnership, sounds like. -
