  1. Kudos to Dover for hooking me up with the perfect reading copy of ASM 122. Bravo!
  2. Kudos to ft88 and TheAvenger80 for some very cool, very affordable BA issues of Green Lantern -- shipped fast, too! Thanks, fellas! -Mike
  3. Thanks Scott! Glad you liked it! And kudos to you, too, for having to deal with my extreme packaging! Best, -Mikey
  4. Starting tomorrow night: a HUGE stack of BA Marvels (some SA, too). New collection...wide variety of grades, cheap lots and single issues. Here are some quick pics of the (roughly) sorted pile:
  5. Coming up in a few hours: several more Marvel and DC keys. Later SA and some BA this time...wide variety of grades, too.
  6. Perils of being a former US Postal Service employee! Glad you liked it! -Mikey
  7. Maybe a few more books from me tonight...after 9:00 EST as usual...
  8. Kudos to mtlevy for some killer SA/BA Marvels: accurate grading, superb packaging, fast delivery, and cool freebies, too! A fine new seller and very much a credit to the Boards! Bravo! -Mikey
  9. I spent nine hours yesterday assembling the most complicated (and expensive) cluster fudge of a bunk-bed I've ever seen for my 8 year-old. It was a complete nightmare of mislabeled parts, a zillion different screws and bolts, and utterly confusing @ss-backwards instructions which were apparently written and drawn by Dr. Seuss. I sweated, swore, dropped stuff on my feet, busted my knuckles, and wrenched my back...but it was finished by the time my daughter was ready for bed last night, and when she saw it all put together, made up with her Barbie sheets and ready to go, she shot me a HUGE smile, threw her arms around me, and said "Oh, thank you, daddy...you're AWESOME." Kids are a drain on anything and everything you call your own: time, money, energy, resources, patience, nerves, etc., etc. And they're worth all of it and much, much more. So no...you'll never be ready (my parents weren't, but I'm damn glad I'm here!)...and nothing else compares. Good luck!
  10. Tomorrow (Sunday) night at the usual time: A few more lower grade SA Marvel keys...
  11. Whoa! Too kind, man! Thanks! And glad you liked the books, too! Best, Mikey
  12. Coming up after 9:00 tonight...a few Marvel keys, including a BIG one...!
  13. Coming up in a few hours: more SA Marvels from my stash, including a minor key or two...and maybe a MAJOR one (but NO promises...depends on my mood and how the beer holds out!). Thanks for looking! -Mikey
  14. BIG kudos to new (to the Boards) seller mtlevy for a tightly-graded & bargain-priced ASM #14. Fast delivery and insanely over-packaged, too! A first-rate transaction all around! Bravo!
  15. Coming up at around 9:30 or so (EST) tonight -- a few cool SA Marvels: some oddball first issues, a semi-key or two, and at least one real key. Stay tuned!
  16. True story...our bass player, Jim, found himself in an elevator once with The Nuge several years ago out in California. After he got up the nerve, he turned to Ted and said: "Uh...Mr. Nugent, it's an honor to meet you...I'm a huge fan..."NUGE: "Thanks, man, I appreciate that."JIM: "...except for Damn Yankees."NUGE: (long pause) "...yeah, I get that alot..."
  17. Don't forget Meat's HUGE voice...which (to bring it all back home) he honed in the mid-70s as part of one of Ted Nugent's marauding touring bands...
  18. (thumbs u Have you seen him recently? I haven't, and really don't know what to expect these days...
  19. Just saw Maiden back in June. I'm still getting used to the 3-guitar thing, but it was a VERY strong show...Bruce Dickinson, amazingly, still sounds as good as he did back in the '80s...
  20. I think even Dave Grohl would agree that Lemmy is cooler than him...
  21. We inhabit different musical worlds, my friend...upcoming (mainstream) shows for me include Ted Nugent, Kix, and Motorhead...
  22. Sigh...the Foo Fighters go on..and on...and on, while one of the greatest Rock-and-Roll bands in the world can't get arrested over here these days and finally (and sadly) decides to call it quits. All hail the pride of Stockholm, the mighty muthereffin' Hellacopters...!!!!!
  23. Super kudos to HighVoltage for a couple of really sweet looking SA Caps...nice upgrades for me, shipped fast and VERY securely. Great seller! Thanks, Jeff! (thumbs u
