  1. Google search. Sometimes I'm looking for an old comic, and end up reading a 10 year old cgc thread
  2. Oops, wrong seller. Will leave positive feedback soon lol.
  3. If you put 4 9.6's, a chipped skull, a tal rune, and a scroll of town portal into a horadic cube, it rolls a 9.8.
  4. I know that ebay supposedly has good seller protection, but who would even waste their time buying a six figure book from a zero feedback seller? A fool and their money... I once bought a pair of sneakers from what turned out to be a bad account. It took weeks to get my money back.
  5. I can't even find this listing on ebay's sold items. Removed? I do see a pair of this book sold on March 27/28 from the same seller, although different pictures than this auction. Actually I think it expired, then sold the next day? As for the blurb on the book itself, it seems this theory isn't really in vogue anymore. Most articles I found via google shows it was an abbreviation of peso.
  6. Yah was a shocker. I wish I went a little harder on that British Tarzan book you had, think I ducked out at 85. Would have made a nice pair with my Sparkler book it swiped the cover from
  7. That makes sense, I cant find any other copies for sale, as and see several copies of #3 for sale. Thanks for the response.
  8. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143590379903 Had a number of books on my watch list, and this one sold but doesnt even make sense. Guide is around 50 for NM, and there isnt much that makes it stand out. This one sold for 330, a bump from 190 in the last seconds. The prior issue in the run in similar condition sold for $11 in the same auction. I'm confused. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313065365187
  9. Im bouncing between this page and browsing ebay, and keep instinctively looking to hit the like button when I see a comic there like Zippy the Chimp
  10. Yes to both! Makes the stories fun, as I love Donald voice, especially when he loses his temper!
  11. This is my thought. The term "key" is still kinda new to me, as back when I collected as a kid I'd never heard the term if it was even in use at the time, but as I understand it now, it's a standout book. First appearances of major characters, deaths of major characters, first issues of major runs, these things to me are keys. When the term gets slapped around too freely, it waters it down to the point where it starts to lose meaning. I've heard people use the key term for books that most of us would consider dollar-bin fodder. Oddly, with maybe the Batman exception, when I was growing up origin stories were almost on par with other major books, but this collecting niche seems to have almost died off completely. Is this because these characters have been retconned so much by now that their old origins don't even matter, or that with the interweb, we can easly read the origins of characters we like without having to buy GA or SA books to read it in? Marvel Team-Up is what other first issues are, the desired book for a run collector. I'd like a copy myself, as I grew up on beater marvel-team ups from the quarter bins, but I don't think I'd go so far as to call it a key. Just my 2cents.
  12. Take both Someone needs to pick up Doc Savage 2 and 3, fantastic covers
  13. I'm eyeballing the 1st Pluto apperance, but it will probably shoot to double what I can afford
  14. So cbcs has 7 graded action comic 1's. I'm surprised it's not a bit higher, but I'm not familiar with grading companies. 17 graded detective 27's. 104 Superman 1's, and 60 Batman 1's. And apparently I'm the owner of the highest graded and only submitted copy of single series 1. *struts*
  15. Same as TC. Several hundred xmen, and a couple hundred spideys Jealous of Mr Scrooge, as Tarzan is my current target
  16. Did you report it to ebay? Im not positive, but I think they get pretty angry when a seller tries to sell outside of their platform.
  17. I can think of one I missed out on recently *edit* did a google look of comic book chess cover and counted about 30 from the images. Would be a fun project, but a lot are GA and spendy. And yes I know they're playing chess on a checkers board :P
