  1. It's frustrating explaining yo people who dont collect why I purchase something and never open it, even though that's its designation. Comics are as much an artform as they are a story. I can get the story secondhand it makes no difference, but I can never recover the art if it gets damaged. Would someone purchase a Van Gogh and run their greasy hands across the canvas? I think not!🤔
  2. If you have C.O.A CGC will still give it green label? I have a signed copy of RAI 0 and Vengeance of Bane 2nd print. I even have COAs on both and pictures with Jim Shooter signing the book. I dont understand why CGC wont authenticate it, on pawn stars when someone brings in something autographed they call in an authenticator. As the lead source on grading comics, wouldn't it be a good idea to hire someone who strictly authenticates autographs?
  3. I dont want to share a sad tale, just a response. That's crazy!🤯 How does he get away with that? I just went to the show this weekend and only bought one graded copy. Now I'm reluctant to send in the raw copies I purchased for fear of being made a fool of. And now your wife could of been an avid collector is now reluctant to purchase comics upgraded. That's a shame😪
  4. Those are some of the most beautiful comics I have ever seen, people dont realise that comics are art with a story.
  5. This post has taken on a mind of its own😎
  6. That's pretty heartwarming actually. Thank you for that 😊🤗
  7. I'm not sure I can speak for bitcoin. I used to collect comics as a kid too, and the cards, I also collected sports cards, but now I've gotten back into it and I enjoy it. Thanks for the support, I know my personality can be a little abrasive, but with a bit of patience I bet we can learn a lot about each other
  8. Punisher was my favourite superhero growing up, I dont think I will ever have the money to get asm 129 or hulk 181 I have punisher 1 and wolverine 1 And I want a big collection with a wide variety though if I could only have 5 comic books it would be Asm 129 Hulk 181 Asm 361 New mutants 98 Batman 1
  9. Maybe it's not about the rarity of comics as much about the speculation of movie success?
  10. I feel much more relieved than! I guess you'll be angered to know I just received new avengers 11 and 27 and marvel point zero Sam nova in the mail today
  11. I grow weary of this. If you cannot stand me, than why respond to my posts, who is controlling who. And dr Jekyll mr hyde,seems a little ridiculous Regardless of my personality. I just wanted to find a site where I could talk comics and learn the industry, if you wanted to run me off because you didnt agree with the way I conducted myself, than just ignore me, dont respond to my posts 300 times
  12. Totally agreed with everything you said.
  13. I dont feel hammered. I appreciate,both constructive criticism when I am out of line as well as positive feedback when I have done something right, I am an infant when it comes to collecting and like any infant that's how you learn. If I feel I am being harshly judged than I will respond accordingly. Thanks guys I just wanted to chat about the comics I got. And I want to build a respectable and strong collection.🍻
  14. Plenty of good info here both in direct conversation and constructive criticism, I appreciate all of it. I put out a thread early on about raw vs cgc and got mocked I quickly realised in certain aspects comic collecting is an old boys club, and it's a club I desire to be apart of and support. I support all of your opinions some of them I respect ,others disregard. Before I posted this thread I asked what comics I should buy at the show, and I was mocked. That dealer at the show was burning people,ripping them off, if I was outside the showdown g the same thing I would be labelled a thief, why does being ane perienced dealer make it okay. I noticed that some dealers take advantage of ignorance and innocence, it's a business, this dealer even acknowledged that he was ripping people off or he wouldnt have reacted in the manner he did.
  15. I buy books I'm prepared to keep as well, for example asm 361 carnage favourite supervillain, xforce 11 domino favourite female superhero, vengeance of bane love bane, thanos 13 like thanos and punisher,also ghostrider, spawn liked it as a kid growing up. Movies only increase the interest, sure there is specs eternals nova, but those arent the comics you invest most of your was in, the ones you love are! Love deadpool, new mutants 98 is decreasing in value, you are only partially correct, but fully ignorant in what I desire. #lovemorehateless
  16. I'm doing the knightsquest! Also might look into maximum carnage, but I like speculating too. @hollywood1978
  17. It's frustrating to say the least, some of these dealers probably go on Ebay and see what other dealers are selling it and push the value a few bucks.
