  1. Probably would have looked nicer on a key book... Obviously I kid! Great book, and I think the label looks nice, and it's great that they're supporting this cause.
  2. Sorry to hear about your hiatus, but welcome back! And thanks for the great article, it really helped me understand what I had found, and it's one of the few - and the most complete - histories of the book that I found anywhere online.
  3. I still have sealed copies of the Dark Tower and Killing Joke Deluxe hardcovers sitting here - just never got around to cracking them open...
  4. I'm just happy I got in cheap for once on the UFF issues. I'm kicking myself for passing on a cheap Marvel Zombies run a couple of months ago. Can't win 'em all I guess.
  5. Were you at the MightyCon at State Fair Saturday? I'm bummed that I have to miss the New Berlin show, I have other plans I can't get out of.
  6. Just wanted to publicly say thanks to Mike for a great sale and for working with me on a strange payment issue that I had - he was patient, worked out a great deal and was helpful every step of the way. His packing and shipping were of the highest level too - thank you Mike!
  7. My low-to-mid-grade entry in the club - love this book. First thing I did was transfer it to a mylar and fullback; everything looks better in mylar.
  8. Thank you sir! Always happy to buy from you - had such a great experience last time. Good luck with the sale!
  9. I didn't want to share it earlier because I hadn't gotten a shipping notice yet, but now I did - I was browsing eBay on Thursday night (before the Friday Disney+ announcements), and I wanted to see what UFF 22 was going for. Right place, right time - a new listing popped up while I was looking. Seller listed UFF 21-23 and 30-32 for $25 BIN plus $6 shipping. Looked great in the pics; fingers crossed. I hit BIN and made payment as fast as I could. I was shocked - UFF 22 alone was going for that much or more at that time.
  10. Ran into a situation I actually haven't had before as a buyer, and I'm interested to hear what you all would do. I bought an item (CGC slabbed book) on Nov. 4 at 2:05 pm Central time. It was a best offer situation - I offered, they countered, I accepted. I paid immediately as I do 99% of the time (only time I don't is if I'm in the middle of something else and need to win a book - then I pay asap, usually within an hour or two). I got a shipping notice on Nov. 6. Since then, it's been at "Shipping label created, USPS awaits item." I contacted the seller yesterday (Nov. 12) at 11:55 am with just a simple message asking for an update since it still shows that USPS hasn't received it for shipping. I've gotten zero response. The seller has 500 feedback and 100% rating, so I'm a bit surprised. Would you wait and contact them again on Monday/Tuesday? Or should I skip the second contact since I haven't heard from them? I think from what I could find on eBay, I have 30 days from the shipping notice to request a refund or file a complaint - correct? Thanks.
  11. Got this at the Milwaukee Comic-con today in a 2-for-$30 deal with All-New Wolverine #1. It's lower grade, but I didn't have it and it looks awesome in the mylar, especially for $15.
  12. Went dollar diving at the Milwaukee Comic-con today, found some decent stuff - nothing ridiculous:
  13. Hit up the Milwaukee MightyCon Comic-con today. Lots of cool stuff to see and a lot of deals to be had. I was surprised that there were so many toy vendors - there may have been more toy-only (and Pops and stuff) vendors than actual comic vendors. Anyway, got a nice little haul of some fun stuff, spent $114 for everything here:
  14. My friends give me grief all the time because I'm the guy who buys a game/movie/etc. intending to use it, and then it sits on my shelf unopened. This past year I went through my storage bins and had a couple of sill-sealed Final Fantasy Game Boy Advance games and a sealed Halo 1. I sold 3 sealed games for just over $1,000. All of my other games have all the boxes, manuals and every insert intact. Since I don't play them anymore and I don't collect them, they were just taking up space. I sold a bunch for a couple thousand, and flipped that money into graded, "blue chip" comics I wanted. Glad I have such weird bad habits!
