Thats a take!

Fun flea market find today

I have and will do so in future. Vet the seller, pay via Paypal when possible, and ask lots of questions.

Sorry, I'm trying to get rid of a looooot of copies of Turok #1 this time out

Some highlights from my weekend Birthday digging excursion.

Nice. I've bought a few things from you in the past.

I will be vending!

Happy to do so... what's the format it should adhere to?

Yeah, look at the delta between a raw copy and a slabbed copy in roughly the grade you think a book is, and then determine based on that whether grading is worth it. Also factor in how much your time spent on dealing with the grading process is worth, like, if it's a case where you're going to spend a few hours of your own time to realize an extra 50 bucks in profit, ask is that worth it to you.

Fun mail call...

Take per PM!

@aardvark88 speaking personally, I would love it if you had take Chad, Evan or Markus up on it. More dealers would have been great, as much as I enjoy spending with those folks, I do get to see them regularly at the PNE shows and the Main Street Comicon.

Haha, unless you're interested in the Oysterprince than that's all I have left of (non-sentimental) value. The Kermit is rad though, and a GMT would certainly be a hell of an heirloom given the eternal coolness factor.

Nice books! Can I ask as a recovering watch collector (ie shifted my watches into comics) what you're looking at? The only thing I kept after selling my Explorer and other pieces was a Tudor 38mm Oysterprince, mostly because I'd rather keep it and wear it a few times a year than sell it for what it'd be likely to fetch.

Based purely on some non-data driven anecdotal observations from Fan Expo this past weekend: The place was packed to the point of it being difficult to traverse the convention floor pretty much immediately, and the crowd was definitely skewing towards the younger side of things. Those folks were almost all there for anime related things, cosplays, meeting voice actors etc. The contrast between the lineups to meet anime guests and comic guests was considerable, they put the voice actors in the same wide open section as the movie and tv folks, and the comics guests in a narrow area adjacent to artist's alley and even then the latter never felt or looked overly crowded. The folks digging through the bins of the limited number of comics vendors tended to be older (as in mid-thirties to mid-fifties), and while there were younger people who were buying comics, they were either very focused on certain titles (The Flash, Disney books, etc) or trying to grab spec books. Now FanExpo is largely a pop cultural event and not a comic show, so I don't think the above should be extrapolated to mean anything about the health of the hobby as a whole. My major concern is that comic collecting is going to hit the same point it did in the nineties where people start to feel taken advantage of by gimmicks (endless reboots, crossovers and variants variants variants) and spec hype (a problem now exacerbated by youtube and instagram influencers) and quit the hobby. What would that mean for any of us as collectors is a good question, but less demand generally equals lower prices (yay!) but could also lead to less availability as fewer people make a living from or take an interest in selling (boo!). The health of things like manga and the youth oriented graphic novels that vastly outsell every single superhero book by a significant margin would indicate to me that there will always be an appetite for comics of some kind, but whether that translates to collecting as we understand it... who knows!

Overall this copy is structurally in the Fine to Fine/Very Fine zone, nice corners, a dirty back cover that might improve from a bit of TLC, and some general wear. But that strip on the right hand side front cover where the purple has faded to light blue is a major flaw in an otherwise quite presentable book. I know the common understanding is that fading matters less the lower the overall grade (but also that buyers will shy away from sunfaded copies regardless), but how do you grade a book like this with it as a major conspicuous flaw? I'd probably personally knock it down to a VG/F, but curious how others would approach it.

Last two FanExpo pickups...
