  1. Might be a little late for this thread but just picked this one up
  2. Off the rack == that is awesome which brings up something very distinct; in fact so much so that I have been mulling over starting a journal. Luckily I have most of my OO comics from the 70s and 80s. But for some reason in some instances, especially with toys and video games from this era, I get more excited over finding something in particular in pristine/new/shrink wrapped condition. It's almost as if the reboot button got clicked and I'm back in time with a flood of memories rushing in that I completely forgot about. Cheers.
  3. Indeed. This one is high on my get-list. Only 1 9.8 and 5 9.6s in the census.
  4. Thanks! Yes I have a short list of slabbed runs I am presently putting together. For IH my objective is 201-300 as these contain some of my all-time favorite covers and stories. 100s not too shabby either
  5. Just started nibbling away at a slabbed run in the 100s. This is my personal favorite era of ASM.
  6. Truer words have never been spoken. When Facebook IPO'd I was forensically watching order flow for days. Morgan Stanley and other underwriters tried their best to support the bid. No chance. Stock price just melted away. Eventually a couple months after the debut, volume started drying up and technicals turned really bullish. I vividly remember calling my cousin, today is the day. We both got in at $18s. I could barely hold on to the position in excitement a few months down the road selling just under $30 thinking I was a rockstar. My cousin; well he placed his shares in a drawer forgetting about them and still has all his shares present day. Sometime the best investment you make is with complete detachment and utterly forgetting about it.
  7. Might explain why there are only two sellers on eBay with guaranteed CGC 9.8 listings @ $500 a pop. When this revelation hits critical mass and if 9.8's end up being a unicorn, watching the price action will surely be entertaining. Is it true there only 2500 of this variant?
  8. Under 3 minutes. 20+ tabs open. listings ending 15 seconds apart. Wild turkey bourbon flowing. This is the life.
  9. Thanks for your comment. I should have posted a pic. Here it is.
  10. Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on this. Comic has all the sigs on the back cover, so it presents from the front as a blue label - pros/cons? Thanks in advance. Cheers.
  11. Uptick continues. (The two BINs were taken out quickly) $1675 Bidding style $1750 BIN $1750 BIN
