  1. Always loved the mirror master colors in the logo for this one. Nice pick-up
  2. Less than a week to go. I’m assuming this will be sparsely attended. Hopefully there will be some good deals.
  3. Saw a video from Torpedo comics…wow was the attendance sparse. I wouldn’t call this SDCC. Maybe a random gathering of sellers and some buyers.
  4. Amazing. I find it hard to believe no action figures from the 70s.
  5. If more sellers simply used tags/keywords in their post, that would help buyers sort through the listings.
  6. I went to the grocery store to buy some ice cream for Thanksgiving. They were all out of the salted caramel vanilla that goes great with the apple pie. I BLAME all the kids who were likely hoarding the ice cream knowing Thanksgiving was coming. The ice cream manufacturers already knew Thanksgiving was coming, so they prepared by buying milk wholesale. I know this because the price of milk is higher than it was last Thanksgiving. If people would just STOP BUYING ICE CREAM and buy more brussel sprouts, the market would equalize. It's so bad, there's now a black market. My neighbor had chocolate, but we were desperate for something to go with the pie. I had to let them borrow our leaf blower in exchange for a couple of scoops. I just feel so bad for the ice cream manufacturers. I hope they come out with more signature flavors and increase their prices so that they can stay in business.
  7. Nice pic. I don't have one yet. I need a few more statues. And, I want my ring back!
  8. Thank you for posting these. I have seen a few issues, but not specifically these letters. Kudos for keeping the history alive.
  9. I don't know them, they just showed up in a search. Good luck. it seems there are many fans here on the boards.
  10. Correct. I first saw this cover in the Gerber photo guide and have been hunting for years. I have seen two, one heavily stained and one just a very low grade. I'm pretty sure there were at least two others bidding it up, so I figured if I kept going, all I was going to do is punish someone, but eventually lose. So, whoever you are, you're welcome.
  11. Ugh. The book at 9.2 guides at $310. It was sitting at $525 going into the live session. I set a limit of $1000 for myself but got carried away and went up to $1200. Final hammer was $1800 (w/BP). I give it 24 hours before the regret sinks in.
  12. I'm watching a 9.2 with a small dust shadow. It's relatively cheap, even at double-guide, where I'm willing to go. But 4X? Hopefully it doesn't go there. Thanks.
  13. I haven't been paying attention...are the non-key, regular, run of the mill, Promise books going for crazy multiples? Just curious.
  14. Thank you. Great looking list. I don't know if it is a good thing for attendees or bad thing for those exhibitors, but tickets are still available for sale. In years past, there was no way you could be 3 weeks out from the con and still have tickets available.
  15. I have no submissions, so no stake here. But, I would not be surprised if there were a class action lawsuit. There was likely a lot of money lost, both in terms fo damaged books and lost opportunity to sell due to not making TAT commitments.
  16. MacBook Air, iOS 11.6, Safari 15.0. I have the circular log-in issue.
  17. About 2-1/2 weeks away. Today's email they announced Jim Lee. The website still doesn't work on my Mac. Can't filter the exhibitor list to see the comic dealers.
  18. Thanks bugman. I still do have the sketch by Stan. And, my oldest is a college graduate. The very first gift exchange, I was assigned Steve. That was fun.
