I really do not have the time for this stuff anymore.  Even though I bought a Nintendo Switch around winter / spring of 2022 as well as Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I did not start playing it until June.   I used a checklist to see what I had to find and ended up finding and beating all 120 Shrines, around 50 side quests, and defeated all four Divine Beasts and today I finished the game and beat Gannon.   

Honestly, I never thought at my age I would enjoy a video game that had complexities like cooking and knowing what to wear in specific environments.  I very much enjoyed the free form multiple ways to accomplish an objective ability of the game. 

This might have been the very best single player non-online game I have ever played. 

Maybe next year I will pick up the sequel. 

 

I picked up the sequel on opening day and just finally got around to finishing the game Saturday night lol. Amazing games those 2. You'll love the freedom of what you can do skill wise and amount of areas to traverse in Tears of the Kingdom so much as well as the craft/attaching options. I figured I wasn't quite done the 152 shrines but went from 135 to 148 on Saturday and said "time to get it done!"  Probably have to wait until 2028 for another Zelda game unfortunately. 

This is in like 10 pages in no spoilers

Dean Koontz has some good ones too

Can't remember the name of the book but one at the start of the book he looked up and looked in the mirror and it seemed he was in a house that had aged 300 years without him. I just looked it up think it's called The Taking. Amazing book. Check that out if you haven't read it.

Reading Stephen King and Peter Straub's talisman now. Tough to compare books to the dark tower series / the stand and the Dome from him. Haven't gotten too far into this one but seems decent.

Grats on the score ;-)

wow someone actually making a post about comics and having pictures to share. .............. mind blown

With most ppl unable to access site without using other 3rd party software to disable the pop up redirect issues, they'd undoubtedly shut it down until they can resolve it rather than have their customers have books not get bid on and selling for chump change. Hopefully they get that issue resolved soon.

Anyone have movement on David Michelinie subs?

 

4th week in GEI. Hope my pages aren't turning off-white/white in there ;-)

In my experience once they go into GEI they're usually done by end of week or the next week at latest so they must be busy.

Think I had mine in pretty early. Received date was 4/28/23 ..

Deepest condolences to you and your family Mike.

I'm down to test my poor eyesight again!

258 was already a 9.6 from my personal subs awhile back. I was just praying to the CGC gods as it looked good. 

Super pumped about finally getting an ASM 281 SS 9.8 as I think I had 1-2 fails from 9.8 blue labels  Post those books when I have them in hand though as I don't yet but I do have some crappy pics from my first lot to share stay tuned ;-)

Those are decently looking pedigree labels. I have an ASM 287 with SM and Daredevil that I got a twin cities pedigree card with from Heritage cgc 9.8. I'll probably submit that for the newer pedigree label and leave as is even though I'm trying to SS everything around that book ;-)

WOW killed me had it at a 2.5. Bullseye on the action and only 1 off on the other 3. Got my goal of keeping my score under 40 points at least after this round.

Glad to hear you did well LazyBoy. Some ppl are doing well in certain venues. Actually seen some pretty high Heritage prices. I should have specified ebay market sucks right now lol. Good stuff tho if you made some good profit. Guess it's just a matter of exposure but back in the day you couldn't list an ASM CGC 9.8 and have it land under 50 bucks type of thing so selling 3 at half the price of grading is absurd ;-)

I really haven't seen too many 298s one of the 299's on heritage went SS 9.8 low and 298s just haven't been in my radar or there hasn't been many lately.

there's no wrong thread when trying to help ppl save money. The ASM cgc 9.8 market is broke. All good tho.

And no I didn't get them graded but with those nice of shape books I would have.

Why oh why did you get these graded in the first place?  And BTW, these are in the wrong thread  Nothing copper about those books. 

 

Divad  my friend. Been here a long time like you.  They're pretty darn close to copper age. Just giving our friends here a heads up as listing ASM 9.8's isn't what it used to be listing at lower dollars. Love your post tho.

Guess the keys are even slowing down as the 299s are going super low comparitively. Not sure there's anything that could be posted in this thread at this point as heating up. Definitely a buy market at this point.

Don't list books at under 50 bucks or that might happen. Market sucks right now 

Well guess they're modern but pretty close to copper age. Pure meltdown on a few books I listed a couple weeks ago considering they were ASM 9.8s.
