  1. I understand that some people don't want to change their lifestyles in order to preserve their "freedom." I get it. No one likes to be forced. I value my freedom. You know what else I value? My 99-year old Great Grandmother. I've written to her since I was a child- I still write to her. I have never met her. She lives states away. Someday, I want to fly out and meet her. That can't happen if someone decides that they don't need to quarantine because they're "free" and decides to live like they do normally. They might infect someone, who infects someone, who infects my Grandma. Do you think she'll survive it? I mean, she was around during the Great Depression- this should be a snap, right? There are millions of people at risk. I understand that freedom is important- it is. But you know what? I'm willing to sacrifice mine, yours, everyone's, for a short time if it means giving other people more.
  2. As someone who didn't exist until quite a few years after this picture was taken, it both amuses and annoys me.
  3. Your origin is better then mine. When I was young I collected every foil cover I saw for sale. (This was not in the 1990s, by the way..)
  4. I don't know, really. I think its because it was one of the first relatively "big" keys I ever bought, so it made a large impact on me. I also just really enjoy reading the book, looking at one, etc. It's one of my favorite books to own.
  5. In this journal I shall post about my Spider-Man #252's and my quest to obtain more. I bought my first one about two weeks before my birthday last year, and now I have about 13-14 copies. I have just received my first Spider-Man #252 CGC 9.4, which was a personal grail for me. It is my second graded copy, the other being a 8.5 I may have overpaid for. I'll try to post some pictures of the other copies. Also, if anyone has any Spider-Man #252's you would like to unload for a (hopefully) good price, let me know.
  6. I have never watched a single football game so I have no idea what that is. Looks fun?
  7. Bad photo quality, but these are my favorite/ best.
  8. A tiny, unerased quick sketch to see how this costume would look on a human figure. From a comic I'm thinking of writing/drawing.
  9. I managed to complete my goal of owning 10 Spider-Man #252s before the end of the year. Started January, finished around June-July! Also got my first CGC book in January, and now I have around 10. Great year- lets hope 2020 is better.
  10. So I messaged the seller. Apparently it's a scratch, and it doesn't go through the book. He says aside from that the book is NM. Would it count against the book as a Color Breaking crease or something else?
  11. Is this meant for the Spider-Man #252 CGC 9.8 thread?
  12. VF to NM, as long as the price is good. The price is fairly decent on this one, so I wanted to make sure everything was okay with it.
  13. I noticed the ticks, I was just concerned about how the scrap would affect the grade. Supposedly the book also has some slight spine roll, although it isn't very visible from the pics I've seen.
  14. Thinking of buying this book- wanna see what you guys think, first. Seller says that thing on the barcode is a "scrap".
  15. It's like looking into a mirror...
