    Meatloaf had cool album covers.  But he was a slob and his music was horrible.

    One of my memories of the early 80s is me trying to listen to a Meatloaf album in my friend's room.  It was 'Bat Out of Hell' and that cover was awesome. 

    I just stared at the cover and waited for the music to be over.  It is tricky to build a rock album with someone singing like he is in a choir.  Freddie Mercury figured it out.  Meatloaf did not.

    He did have bad albums, but good luck trying to find someone else to agree with you on Bat out of hell being one of them.

    RIP!!!

    As I said in the Water Cooler, the album cover which introduced me to the brilliant art of Richard Corben, one of my all-time top ten comic artists, and surely one of the greatest colourists of all time, with his amazingly vibrant airbrush palette.  An artist that otherwise I wouldn’t have discovered for years in the U.K..

    Bat Out of Hell is certainly in the top 5 of records I've listened to most in my life, front to back.  There's not a bad note on it.  RIP my man.   

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think every song on that album made the top 40 at some point.    Don't know anyone who could claim that.

    Now I am officially sad!!!!

    Oh God, you waiting about a month too long to optimize return. Slight downside now, as the market heads to $40K by year's end, and then pushed up even more soon after, you may want to consider holding these until the hobby picks up again after the Summer. 

    No rush to sell.  I listed them pretty high...  I can wait for the market to catch up with them since they are unique books.  All Sig series.

    Now I am officially sad!!!!

    I've thought of doing the same thing god503 but with my GA Caps.  I could clear some serious debt with the 20 I have but I'd likely never get them back unless I change careers or there's a major correction in the comic market.  I'm not sure which is more likely hm

    But then my #1 goal of collecting every golden age Captain America comic (which, realistically, is already a pipe dream) would come tumbling down for good and I am not sure what would happen to me.  I'd be debt free but with no purpose, perhaps just wandering comic shops starring at the back walls like an aimless, goalless wraith ???

    But I do wish you the best of luck in realizing the best prices you can for you books! 

    The only real emotional attachment I have are to my McFarlane spidermans...  those I am planning to hold on to as he was my favorite artist growing up and made me fall in love with spiderman.  Tops being a ams 300 9.8 with 5 sigs NEWSTAND... that one will tempted me as those prices are just crazy.  I wanted to hold on to my collection and use it to put my 2 young daughters thru college with then but some of these prices that they demand I just can't ignore..
