I’m amazed at how little I bought this year…
@Artboy99 did I buy Savage Tales 1 in 2023?
-
I’m in the books were much better camp. Shawshank was excellent and the Shining pretty good but otherwise the Movies and TV shows always seemed lacking to me. Honourable mention for The Outsider.
Another Top 5 SK Book is 11/22/63.

- A mid grade Avengers 1 (been saying this for at least three years

- Vault of Horror 35
- A cool early Timely
The truth is that I rarely stay on -script but always end up buying cool stuff.
Bring on 2023!
Well none of those happened! I did buy a mid grade Witchcraft 5. Otherwise, it was a pretty slow year for the collection. I think the steep decline in prices has actually been more of a deterrent than an incentive.

Good luck with the sale!

I blame @piper for the move. Anyone that enjoyed Black Widow and The Marvels will doom anything they post in.
I don’t plan to watch the Marvels…

Thank you Mike!

Don't waste 2.5 hours of your time with 'Marvels' movie. For good Brie well written/directed by BJ Novak, try season 1 of 'Lessons in Chemistry.' 8 episodes streamed so far with each episode getting better. Still has some female empowerment so u will feel it may be tangentially MCU.
Enjoyed it!

My condolences. Way too young…

“My fault – all my fault! If only I had stopped him when I could have! But I didn’t… and now… Uncle Ben is dead…”
And a lean, silent figure slowly fades into the gathering darkness, aware at last that in this world, with great power, there must also come – great responsibility!
If you could only have one page, this would be the one!

2/5 I don’t get the hype.

That's for the best! My wife doesn't actually care, but she's not really a "stuff" person, so she doesn't understand the impulse to accumulate things. Except money. She likes to accumulate money. So in her mind, why would I like to have this junk, when I could have money instead? Sometimes I think she may have a point, but I haven't fully come over to her side yet.
Money is good, but the bigger books I own are worth a lot more than my initial investment, even in the economic downturn. All my floppies/CGC books fit in one small closet now. The only way one would know I'm a comic person is by seeing my collection of Omnis/Hardcovers/TPBs and the odd comic t-shirt.
I've enjoyed the process of selling many books and buying one quality book (classic cover or key) in its place.

Quite a bit here that I agree with and can relate to. I just have to be careful to not go too crazy with the hardcovers as I downsize my raw collection.
I'm out of shelf space!

the viewers or lack thereof closed the book on this show that's why it won't be a third
They missed out.

It was a satisfying conclusion. In my opinion, it’s the best written of all the Marvel TV shows. 5/5

Thanks for the suggestions! I didn’t exactly break the bank but bought a couple of Vampirella Mags at 30% off.
Nice store.

I am honestly ok with that as I am done with Kang as they have portrayed him. It was a terrible decision to have the Quantumania Kang defeated by ants in this film and who cares that there are hundreds of versions of him because it just becomes this:
Third movie was mediocre but the scene was really cool.

I received the first Invincible Compendium today. Really looking forward to this one. I haven't seen the show, but have been interested in the book for years now, it's just one of those ones I never got around to. With Omni-Man one of the upcoming characters debuting in the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack 1, I figured now was a great time to learn about the character.
I knew I wanted the compendiums, but everywhere was sold out of them... Except my LCS, who had it listed as a possibly orderable item. Two days later they had it in (great service) and they express posted it to me at no charge (love them) and voila, it arrived today. Nice and chunky, good print quality, I'm looking forward to getting this one after I finish reading my current novel.
Anyone else read it? Is it as good as I'm hoping?
First 100 issues were very good. Very enjoyable series overall.

The Lottery Shirley Jackson Lion Books #14 1st PB edition $70
One of the most reprinted and "analyzed in English classes" stories of the 20th century.
Classic Herman Bischoff Pulp GGA cover of Tessie Hutchinson collecting her lottery prize
I just barely upgraded from this copy recently. A very tough book in any kind of decent shape, I've never seen a VF
Fine. Square and solid tight spine and pages tight and supple with light toning. Slight wave to bottom of book. Light creasing and traces of old tide line on the back. Despite these flaws it presents very well and this was the best I could find for a long time.

That is now 1/3 or more than 194 and 238 command in 9.8. I do feel especially sorry for the suckers who purchased either at 4K, 5k or even higher while some here during the bubble continually mention "unlimited upwards trajectory" or similar self-serving sales bile, while those with actual Comic, Economic and Financial acumen were scoffed at.

Sale Date: Oct 3 2023At one point each in 9.4 was going for over $1000. Those who have 9.4's are no longer "good" as was mentioned they were early in the main #194 thread.
It might be time for me to look for a High Grade 194 & 238. I sold them many moon ago assuming that I'd upgrade but got scared off by the crazy prices.

In general, I feel like there's been a pull back on books selling quickly this past few months. Hopefully, I'll have a chance at a couple of books this time...
