And sometimes people just put stupid crazy high prices on stuff hoping someone will bite.

And sometimes they do.

That's because some people have more money than  brains 

I'm still not getting it ?

Bob is the new Bo

I don't have a clue as to what your babbling about ? ...who is " bo " .                                            & secondly it's BOB JR to you @Yayeah

Let's say you come across an interesting old bottle  & a genie appears from a cloud of  smoke 

 & says he will grant you a wish to live in  the pages of ONE comic title / series  ...which would it be ? 

interesting topic

Oh welp, for some reason my post with the "C_nt Comics #1" from 1969 was removed.  That cover is a bit racy, to be sure, but quite extraordinary.  Worthy of the SA in 1969.  Comic-book wise, not so sure what else, except for Silver Surfer #4 (cover Feb 1969), but that hit the stands in November 1968.  Scooby Doo #1 has a cover date Mar 1970, so it likely hit the stands in December 1969, so it counts!  That's a biggie.  Also Cap 110, 117, and Thor 165?   And we can't forget Vampirella #1!   Hopefully this passes censors.  But if the books don't cut it, the Apollo moon landing counts for something!  

up for Vampirella

Only thing with Raw is you can't tell if it is restored and page quality.

So now we know to take anything that happens on Heritage with a big dollop of salt.

Like I've said ... I'm new to the hobby & as far as Stan Lee using a ghostwriter I don't have a clue ?                                 I know Stan Lee is a BIG name  & I thought he is / was looked upon as a " GOD" in the comic world & taking shots at him was strictly forbidden , a no - no 

Great stuff , thanks for " the NOOB guide "  

As a youngster I'd spend weekends with my grandparents & I remember my grandpa & me would jump in the car & head to downtown rock island , Illinois where he'd do a little shopping .                             picking up his cigars & other things he needed at the time & always giving me some money to buy comics at the f.w. Woolworth's that sat on the plaza , I'd pick out my comics ( stuff like ... JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY , HOUSE OF SECRETS , HOUSE OF MYSTERY , THE WITCHING HOUR , GHOSTS , etc  ) I loved that kinda stuff -  while he browsed around the store then we'd either get something to eat at the lunch counter or walk across the plaza to  HAROLD'S CONEY ISLAND ( best hot dogs / chili dogs ever ) while sipping a root beer .                               My grandfather is gone now ( as is " Harold's "  & the old Woolworth's store ) & I miss him dearly .                     I miss those days with a heavy heart .

The good news is I don't have enough money to be scammed with something like this. The bad news is I don't have enough money to be scammed by something like this.

 .... It's called a blessing in disguise

While this centers on the market manipulation happening in the video game market, the players and overlap with people invested in the comic hobby is important for all to see, and this manipulation is not exclusive to video games.

 

A Must Watch Indeed 

What's your favorite comic title & why  ? 

which do you prefer & why ?     Advantages or DisAdvantages of either / both .                                             Thanks guys ( & gals ) for any responses

Shots at Stan are pretty common among collectors. 

It's a long and complicated conflict which centers around how much Stan actually created vs how much he marketed and took credit for. 

There are many books on the topic and spirited threads here.  

o.k. , thanks I'll have to check those out

gotta agree with ya on that the flame of passion burns brightly

Underrepresentation of bald characters.

though I'm new to the comic collecting world  I do have one regret already ...  that  I'd wished I started earlier 

Who doesn't  the dollar$ comics  box ( or cheaper) ... though I'm new to the hobby DOLLAR BOX DIVING has become an obsession for me , it's like treasure hunting
