  1. Interesting to see Dave Cockrum's letter. A master of costume design commenting on how much he liked Electro's costume!
  2. Page 8, panel 1: How did Cap know what was happening while he was still frozen?
  3. When I'm at a con, I expect prices to be a little high. I look at it as I'm supporting the continued presence of dealers and comic conventions in general. It only takes one walkthrough to realize which dealers are sellers motivated to move product, and which would rather sell less books at higher markup. After a few years, I might even start to remember which are which!. I generally don't make offers, but gladly accept them with a sincere thank you! That said, I am that guy (old school), with his handwritten buy list on a piece of paper, and current GPA written down across a spread of grades. I generally like to make a little weekend vacation of it, so I understand that they have expenses like gas, hotel rooms and meals. Also some con dealers don't overprice, they overgrade the old-fashioned way! I prefer slightly more accurate grading with maybe a 10-15% markup. If I get a deal on a stack, BONUS!
  4. I finally saw it. It was very funny and entertaining. I never felt attacked. However, I am very grateful they didn't show Ken's comic book collection in the Mojo Dojo Casa House!
  5. I'll add I've had nothing but great experiences selling through MCS.
  6. 6 points! Best round of the contest, and I graded them in in about a minute. No more overthinking.
  7. This is shocking to me. So young. I was a fan even before Big Adventure was made. A friend had a tape of the HBO special he did with all the characters that were later in Pee-Wee's Playhouse with a little more adult humor, and we watched the heck out of that tape. So sad to hear this.
  8. Yes, only one. I have a CGC 9.8 Ms. Marvel #1 (the modern) I have never read, but I watched the TV series, so
  9. Submarines are made out of leather? Hmm, apparently early subs were covered in leather and used leather water bags for ballast! Comics still educating me.
  10. RIP, another great one. The art styles of the silver and bronze ages are fading into history.
  11. Yup, once every week or two. Usually toward the end of the week.
  12. Put it on ebay as some "obscure artist, very rare, one of a kind".
  13. I think you've already got the best time. You could make the case that it end in the afternoon to not overlap with the big auction sites, but you also benefit from FOMO when somebody doesn't get what they were after at your evening time too.
  14. Seems a bit silly replying to myself, but for anybody who was wondering, the current answer is two days.
  15. How long after tracking shows my package delivered should I expect to wait until my shipment will show up as received on their site? Tracking showed my package delivered yesterday, and My Consignments still shows we have not yet received your shipment.
  16. I'm starting to think that Chris Pratt might be cast as Jimmy Olsen.
  17. Thanks for the response! My thinking now is to just list it as "possibly miscut or trimmed, buyer beware", and pricing it as a reader copy just to get rid of it. It's not like the rest of it is in great shape anyway.
