  1. Godzilla/Kong & Synder Cut JLA caused me to sign up for a month so I was also able to get thru season 1. I thought they did a very good job. i enjoyed not only all the characters they were able to fill, but how well of a job they did fleshing each one put and making them interesting. Plus I appreciate the quick intro montage which gets you right back into the story. Currently l have enough streaming services so I wasn't going to keep HBO beyond that month but if they come out with a cheaper plan (which I thought I heard they may be doing soon) I'm certainly interested in Season 2
  2. I would read the sticky in the Brother Can You Spare a Grade forum and posts good pics/scans of each. You will hopefully get some good grade estimates. You may even get some opinions on whether pressable defects are seen. Then you can go to goCollect or used Ebay sold listings to get an idea of current value
  3. it's not the end of the world, but if you're going to stick around (and the hope is all comic lovers do!) a lot of the forums have topics stickied at the top that new members can go thru. if you click on the 3 dots, you should be able to edit your posts and maybe delete one set of the pics. Then just post that one in a separate thread. You'll hopefully get more replies then. Welcome, good luck, yadda yadda yadda.. (and I agree with 4.5 for each)
  4. here's a few threads which talked about shipping large lots
  5. I tell my wife - if there's ever a fire at the house, open the family room window, toss out those cardboard boxes marked "A" and "B" and climb out! When I had my raws in the basement, I had the long boxes sitting on 2x4's in case water ever got on the floor. That actually worked when either the laundry tub overflowed or water seeped in from outside. Of course moving them upstairs was an ever better solution. I'd go along with Thoth and also say get a good tarp at Home Depot BTW a friend at work just had her 3 story apartment complex burn down. The fire started in the 2nd floor unit above her. The fire department aimed the hoses directly into her apartment. So if you're worried about water damage from a fire while you're not there, there's only so much you can protect against.
  6. well Watchcount sold listings for Ebay shows 9.6 selling at 500-$1000 over the last 60+ days so goCollect must have a mistake. I can't picture a few lowball sales on some other auction site dragging their FMV down given how many Ebay sales there have been. Nowadays with the way prices have been rising I always look at either Ebay sold sales or recently finished auction sales rather than goCollect
  7. You can also use 3rd party insurers so you'd be covered no matter who you use. I've never used any of them myself but many boardies have
  8. There's no answer to that. You'll find people everywhere who swear by and swear at USPS/ups/fed ex
  9. yeah there's another thread here about that story Seems the article you quoted is a bit wrong or misleading. Apparently the victim was jumped by 4 people and pulled his gun to protect himself according to the stories I read.
  10. brittle pages are usually avoided. You may want to post this on the Golden Age forum for chances of more replies
  11. I wouldn't use comicspriceguide.com for slab prices. No that I've done any kind of exhaustive research but most of the times I compare their slab prices to goCollect or eBay sales or even gpaAnalysis for the 3 issues they supply free data for, it doesn't seem to be in sync with them I also agree with shadroch that you should slab those 1k book you're thinking of consigning as raws
  12. you could try this site that offers raw prices comicspriceguide.com As far as MCS,I never used them but I believe you have an option to set your own price regardless of the grade they give
  13. Watched the 1st episode last night. While reading the 1st issue of the comic - If I tried to imagine in my head what it would be like as live action - this wasn't it. The only exception was the Chloe character.
  14. I thought the proposed law had a $1 or 2 million exemption for step up basis https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/stepped-up-basis-biden-tax-plan/
  15. try https://130point.com/sales/ On another thread I mentioned about taxex no longer working and someone responded about that site. It tried it and it does give back sales prices
  16. I even searched for "$" symbols thinking maybe they just used a diff keyword but no such luck
  17. I can't seem to find "taxex" anymore in the page source. Noticed a reddit thread also with the poster making the same observation. I did click on 'show original listing" Tried multiple completed sales with a best off accepted note & unable to find "taxex" on any of them
  18. hmm, maybe it means you're poor at ducking....may wanna stay inside next meteor shower
  19. Why does it have to 'pop'? Many valuable assets don't pop, they just settle down in a trading range above the level before they stated their last climb I'd think 'keys' would do this. Random spec books solely due to MCU may be a different story
  20. you should prob post this in "The Signature Room" rather than in the pools forum I'm not a sig collector, only having 1 signed book, but generally from the posts I read value usually comes from books that have the celebs actually on the cover.
  21. I do something very similar to this. First of all we save all cardboard/packing paper/bubble wrap from mail shipments (It helps to have a big dog as we're regularly receiving boxes) I wrap the comics in plastic sheeting (eg cheap Home Depot 1/2 mil thick plastic). I tape that to the cardboard sheets. That keeps tape residue off the comic bags and prevents having to pull tape off a comic bag. I fill the open space around the cardboard sandwich with rolled up paper or bubble wrap. Then the brick goes into a 9x12 poly bag which gives it some moisture protection too
