    Happy birthday!

    This is really cool - especially given the similarities, that it's Kirby and that it predates Thor's Marvel debut. But since Thor is a Norse god of mythology and can't be copyrighted as an idea, DC can still use him in their books. Here's a panel from Wonder Woman 771 that came out last year, when Diana went to Asgard: Granted, it's not the same version of Thor popularized by Marvel, but the idea is similar to how a lot of the Disney classics are based on public domain stories - you can't copy Disney's version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but you can make a product with Snow White as long as it doesn't copy Disney's version of the character. The fact that the Tales of the Unexpected came first and is so close to what would ultimately become the Marvel Thor ideal is really interesting though.

    I assume you know this and it's the reason you said that, but the artist on this book was the creator of Madman. Congrats on a great pickup!

    LCS has a sale going on through May; picked up a fun little batch of stuff for a pretty decent price:

    Here are two of my favorites that are outside the regular stuff I think of for Neal - I picked both of them up earlier this year:

    Exact same thing happened to me - it took about 3 business days after I did the verification, and then it was resolved.

    If I ever win the Powerball, I'm opening a comic shop - that way I can run it at a loss so I can just keep all the cool stuff that comes in...

    I would love to see a thread from shop owners about some of the coolest and/or rarest things that have come into their shops (and conversely, some of the weirdest and worst things, or maybe some of the most out-of-touch sellers etc.). Have any interesting stories to share? It could make a neat YouTube channel too - like a more real-life "Comic Book Men" - although I did enjoy that show for what it was.

    If you sell now, obviously. If you wait until later - maybe, maybe not. It could continue to rise, or the bottom could drop out of the market and it could be worthless. It's just like any other market, you're either bearish or bullish on the future value of an asset. If you bought it to sell, there's no shame in taking profits at $800. Sure, it could go higher in the future, at which time you might kick yourself for selling low; or it could go to zero, at which time you'd likely kick yourself for not selling when you had the chance. Most of it is based on your outlook, the health of the market, and your tolerance for risk.
