Captain Marvel's face....

I had a non-payer recently, had to wait until the allowed payment period was up and then I could relist. A few days later, I got a message from eBay that they were waiving all fees on my next three sales to make up for the non-payment issue I got hit with - turned out pretty nice, my next three were about $400 combined. Not sure what triggers that response, but I was happy with it.

I figured the 9 Mylars were worth about a third of the cost based on how much bags and boards go for nowadays...

Lots of remote controlled r2d2's

Talked with one guy who mad it out of a 3-d printer.

So a lot of little parts, as oppose to the 3 big ones it normally assembles with.

If you're talking about the green one in your photo, that's actually R2-A5, ya filthy casual...

I kid, I kid, I had to look it up. Cool pics, seems like a fun time!

bizarro was great!

I even enjoyed the copper of modern iterations, had some interesting conversations with friends at the time over it. To they saw me nerd out was an understatement  

They recalled it later, "You remember when? your were way into? yadda yadda Bizarro?

"yep!'

I really liked the way they used Bizarro in the Rebirth Red Hood run, I thought it was a cool (and actually sometimes touching) take on his character. I always had a soft spot for Bizarro.

Got this in a mystery box today - really cool cover, love that he drew so many different characters...

But - what's up with Cap's legs? Is it just me, or are his legs way too big and too low for his torso?

Raws were priced as marked

Bats slab was $50

And x-men was $55

$50!? Dude, I'm jelly - love that sketch cover. Nice grab!

I don't typically do mystery boxes, but I've seen a lot of people talk about the Boxed Heroes box, and I figured I'd drop the $30 plus shipping and try it out - the big prize this month was an ASM 300, and the secondary prizes included Captain America Annual 8, some MotU books, Avengers Annual 8, Longshot 1 or X-men 244.

I posted my results below - and my thoughts about the experience - in case anyone is interested.

Their presentation is really good - the box is nice and sturdy, and I could re-use it to carry books to a convention or if I need to transport 5-10 books safely somewhere.

They included their info card, a trading card and a couple of stickers. Kind of cool.

First book: Hobgoblin Lives #1 -- Value: $3-4

Everything is nicely bagged in Mylar, so they look and feel great.

Second book: King Spawn 1 McFarlane Cover -- Value: Cover price

I didn't pick this one up; cool cover.

Third book: Batman 112 Molina Variant -- Value: Cover price

I collect this run, but I only have cover A, so this is cool.

Fourth book: Black Cat 9 Netease Variant -- Value: Cover price

Fifth book: Miles Morales Spider-man Annual 1 -- Value: Cover price

Sixth book: Something is Killing the Children 19 -- Value: Cover price

Seventh Book: Civil War II 1 J. Scott Campbell Midtown Variant -- Value: $8-10

Pretty cover.

Eighth book: Wonder Man! 3 -- Value: $1

Ninth and final book: Uncanny X-men Annual 11 -- Value: $3-4

Overall, the "value" was about what I paid, but most of these books are ones I don't want. I'll probably end up giving some away or bundling some reader lots with other low-value books I have to try and sell.

I don't think I would buy another of these - to be fair to them, their presentation, service, delivery is all outstanding. All the books, even the older ones, are really high grade and all look great in Mylar. I knew it was a gamble, and in that spirit it was worth it, but I think I scratched my mystery box itch for now.

It's not a ship, it's a schooner.

There is no god and there's no point this thread is about crack now apparently when i got back shiz funny

I find it hard to believe there is no God when I cast my eyes upon the beauty of this thread which He hath seen fit to bestow upon us on this glorious Friday night/Saturday morning.

As a Joker guy I lean toward Ledger, although Nicholson was "my" live version of the Joker for a long time - I was in 6th grade when Burton's Batman came out, and I was fully enveloped in Bat-mania, from the books (I read Killing Joke, DKR, Year One, Death in the Family, Son of the Demon TPB, "The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told" and "The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told" to tatters in that same time frame) to wearing a Batman t-shirt basically non-stop, to the great Prince soundtrack (which is still on my regular driving Spotify playlist). The Adam West Batman was on TV after school and Romero was great, but the Burton movie was my #1 favorite film for a couple of years there - I got the VHS for Christmas when it came out and wore it out.

So I thought this video was kind of a cool take - it lays out why Nicholson's Joker is the scariest Joker. I thought they make a lot of good points:
