  1. I'm not sure this is 2 industries that really need combining!
  2. It was only 20 bucks and I had account credit and many edibles
  3. I think I figured this out. Everyone is caught up in partial ownership of comics, but what about partial ownership of other peoples partial ownership?? Think about it.. instead of spending money with Rally Rd, you can spend money with a company that instead buys shares from the other micro investors! The logic is clear! Don't think about it too much! I've even come up with a catchy name for it: "Microscopic Ownership of Really Old Nostalgia & Such" I think the acronym might catch on.
  4. I've listed quite a few lots on Ebay that all started tonight with $1.99 starting bids and no reserves that all end next Friday night. Links are: Star Wars #2s (5 newsstand) & #41s (4 total) lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858430605 Star Wars #42 newsstand: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858419958 9 key comic lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858734700 Big Spider Man lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858063634 King in Black lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858816740 Avengers lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858436082 Thor/Black Winter lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858764890 Crossover #3 Spawn variant cover lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858453076 Comic speculation lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858729791 Knullified covers lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858807516 50 comics lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858066541 Venom / King in Black lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333858772548 I'll follow any special requests for shipping that I can. I decided to go with UPS for these sales given my experience with the current state of shipping. Let me know if you have any questions or want any additional pictures. Thanks for looking!
  5. Peter did have conflict with the suit trying to push him to do things he didnt want to. One could view this as the suit trying to impose his will on Peter to "make" him Venom. Peter was able to resist, therefore he didn't "become" Venom. Eddie offered no such resistance as they were joined in their mutual hatred of Peter, so he pretty much immediately "became" Venom. Look at it from another view: Eddie could never, in any theory, be Venom without the symbiote. The symbiote could theoretically be Venom without Eddie.
  6. He also used his formula for that if I recall correctly, so it was modified symbiote, not raw "virgin" symbiote.
  7. I couldn't pass this up today, just how bad is it?
  8. This could easily be the way all symbiotes refer to themselves when bonded with a host. It doesn't necessarily mean the identity is lost when the host is removed. Theoretically.
  9. Same reason someone buys a 5 dollar lottery ticket, except this time worst case you get 3 comics.
  10. Your rebuttal is both in depth and insightful as to its foundation.
  11. His insurance company is going to require evidence of ownership beyond pics of an empty trailer and listings on a website. They aren't just going to cut a quarter million dollar check on his word.
  12. I didnt see any topics like this from searching and I know I've seen several, so I thought a spot where we could all post and laugh at them might be some fun. I'll start it off with a couple:
  13. I agree this is the accepted definition of Venom, but I think the argument can be made that Venom is indeed solely the suit, and that the suit tried to turn Peter into "Venom" but Peter resisted the suit and was able to get rid of it before being fully transformed. Eddie offered no resistance and was easily transformed into the base dominant personality of the suit, which is Venom, imo.
  14. Agreed Peter was never Venom BUT the suit DID exhibit it's own behavior and personality traits while Peter was wearing it, separate from Peter, giving the suit it's own identity.
  15. Is everyone just accepting that "Venom" is ONLY when the suit is on Eddy? Couldn't one argue the suit itself is what makes Venom, since Eddie by himself is no Venom, and therefore the first panel with Peter with the suit would be at least a partial Venom first appearance?
  16. Both my shops here around the Flint area offer discounts. One is a yearly club (10% off new plus the wall) but they only sell $25 memberships twice a year, the other has a permanent discount based on what you spend, 20% off for $75 and up, and it works on new comics, but not the wall.
  17. "First appearance" should be pretty self descriptive. If other categories are needed, like "First story", "First cover", "First key" etc, then let's add those categories.
  18. If this does take off (as Ebay listings appear to be testing) then is the market going to crash on preview 95?
  19. I love this cover and couldn't resist grabbing this sketch variant this week!
  20. Massachusetts isn't much better for me. Still waiting on this first class delivery from an ebay sale
  21. Hes been grading comics since 1968 AND it presents BETTER than a NM!
  22. I'm putting that person_without_enough_empathy in a frame on the wall
