  1. Hmmm. I saw the movie last weekend and must've missed that part.
  2. You kids and your social media. I was curious about the collection so I found his Instagram page. I had to tap out after scrolling down twice. I have zero patience for these self-obsessed "look at me" clowns. I will never, ever understand their appeal especially "unboxing" videos.
  3. Mmm... what about the 8 Spider-Man issues of Marvel Treasury Edition? Then there's the Grab-Bag and team-Up issues, too.
  4. When did this go into effect? I don't recall ever seeing a notice. This is great news, and one of the very few things ebay has done right.
  5. That's me on all counts, except I don't have Disney+ and haven't seen any of the shows. However, I'm still plugging away on my runs and have been buying more books in the past few months as prices have normalized from the crazy pandemic run-up.
  6. I think this should catch me up. The 154 is a so-so copy with heavy distributor ink/return spray. But since it's a reprint, an upgrade has never been a priority.
  7. Last visited May 23 https://boards.cgccomics.com/profile/12921-hero-restoration/
  8. Yikes. That doesn't sound good. There was a thread a few months back from someone with a similar problem:
  9. I almost posted the same thing! I thought he was a dumb villain and the name was just as bad. A play on "machismo" isn't great to begin with, but worse it just sounds like "gizmo". Gizmo? Gizmo? What kind of name for a bad guy is that? That's a word the Thing would use talking about Reed's latest invention.
  10. Two thinner boards don't provide the same rigidity as one thick one. The last time the topic came up, someone explained why in detail using carpentry as an example but by search-fu is weak today. If only we had an expert like @BlowUpTheMoon available, but he's probably busy making Power Girl having a pillow fight with the Black Cat while Julie Newmar and Scarlett Johansson share a bunch of grapes covers with AI.
  11. I can't tell whether it's the photo, a digital artifact or a color lift from a not-good press? In the upper right:
  12. Who was the seller? Does he have a lengthy ebay history?
  13. Cockling/waviness along the top, various spine tics, various indents, blunted LLC, bend LRC, spine rubs BC. Color lift FC? 7.5.
  14. Ouch! Yeah, those self-stick bags stink. Whenever I get one it goes straight in the trash.
