  1. My new double bookshelf from a closed Borders store
  2. Halperin link: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetailSearch.asp?Order=Views&GCat=25305
  3. I just finished Tolkien's "Lost Tales 1", which was a slow read, but interesting nonetheless. I am currently reading James Patterson's "Double Cross"...I need a quick read
  4. I don't if any posted this yet, but the original TV show is only $7.49 at amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Complete-Willie-Aames/dp/B002DH20Q0/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1300890698&sr=1-1
  5. I remember bidding on many of those, but losing on all (under bidder a few times). I don't think that way of doing it was very smart financially for Showcase, but at least we had a good chance of getting a copy. Of course OS should be more accurate since it can be updated yearly.
  6. It is hard to read most of those titles, but playing around with it helped a little bit:
  7. Dale is waking up and the shadowy figures are talking to him. It looks weird without the grays added in. Ah, now I see it. That is a flame on the bottom left corner Thanks.
  8. I read volume 11 TPB a few days ago and when I saw this OA, I remembered that I have no clue what is going on in panel 1 (this is with the cannibals). Can anyone enlighten me?
  9. Now I know you're lying. The Ark was a box. Box of what? The second set of ten commandments, silly
  10. Yeah, modern prices are so screwy...OA would have been much better. $4k for a Liefeld page. i'm sure there are OA guys who are thinking that's screwy too. sorry, but i beg to differ, that's a page from his first appearance, i'm thinking that is a very wise investment, the CGC 9.9...no. $12K for a Liefeld book, or 1/3 that for OA featuring the 1st appearance of a key character. Whether $4K is too much or not, the OA is a much better investment.
  11. Yeah, modern prices are so screwy...OA would have been much better.
  12. 3 TPBs were very well packaged...thanks!
  13. thank you for asking A recap of some sales we made at the Con: ... those were the highlight sales... only purchased 4 books ... I sold Verzyl that Zip 32 mile high copy about 11 years ago, it's a real stunner! Congrats! Facebook is trying its best to connect me with Verzyl...I don't know why
  14. Welcome back! You missed record-breaking prices (or maybe you didn't), Action 1 talk, Tec 27 talk, and most recently, Pep 22 talk.
  15. Will the meatball sandwiches I am making for my company's "One Dish Wednesday" be yummy?
  16. At the 1989 San Diego Comic-Con I was set up with Howard Rockman from Albuquerque (at the time I was managing his comic store there). A guy came up to the table and asked if we had any Supersnipe Comics. The guy looked like a bum. He had pants on that were so dirty I swear they would stand up on their own.I had to look at him a few times before I realized it was David Carradine. It was shocking how unhealthy he looked. Well we had one Supersnipe that he liked and he wrote us a check for $40 for it. When we got back home the check bounced. Howard could never collect on it so we put it up for sale in the shop for $40. It sold in about a day. , that is a great story and I am glad that in the end everyone got what they wanted out of the deal
  17. I have been looking for a nice, affordable copy of this for a while and this just arrived
  18. My only Mound City win (with many, many low-ball underbids). I wanted a copy after reading the history behind it in a list of the 100 greatest comics, so this was perfect at only $11.80 shipped
