  1. Did a quick stop at Meijers on my way to work. Here's the bags and location:
  2. I cant find a pic of them but here's a guy opening some on YouTube.
  3. Anyone had any luck with these? I did a search for Meijers and didn't get any hits. They have 3 packs of comics at Meijers for $5, partially blind bag, with the pokemon cards at my store. It claims there are over 500 keys from various ages randomly inserted in them, I bought a couple and got nothing. Just wondering what those keys are and if anyone has seen them yet. Bags are unbranded but everything in my 2 bags was Marvel.
  4. I think this counts as a comic meme 😂
  5. I had a guy request it for a XMen 101 I just sold him. It has benefits, and I haven't had any issues removing it, I just use the edge of a scissors blade to cut where its taped to the inside of Geminis, a good inch away from the comic itself. Haven't had any issues.
  6. Does he have a red glow when hes angry and a green glow when hes happy? I'm going to put this in the same box as episodes 1-3 and pretend it never happened.
  7. So I just got this and I'm pretty convinced its fading, but the stark contrast line and how blue it is in the unfaded section makes me question it a little at least. Could this be a printing error or was it just somehow horribly stored with just that corner protected? I've never seen a fade this bad with that stark of a line.
  8. Merry Christmas! I also don't have any Christmas covers but I hope everyone has their best holiday yet!
  9. Somehow my December mystery bag from ComicTom got here 2 days ago 😂
  10. I can add plenty of fillers if that takes some of the worry out, I thought people would like something where they dont get a stack of 20-30 likely worthless books, but if most want quantity I can definitely add that to the mix with a guaranteed couple books in each that price out to 10 or 20 in overstreet. I can increase the bag count and lower the price point but I was trying to bring something with much higher odds than normal to the table. You're right that I wasnt posting here for sales, I wanted feedback and you're providing plenty and I do appreciate it. I plan to do many mystery bag auctions and one has to start somewhere so this is me doing that lol. Would it have more appeal if I took the top 4 or so out and replaced it with a batman 313 cgc 8.5? I've temporarily ended it to restructure it.
  11. Thanks I appreciate the feedback. As far as your point that I could just ship the bottom 16 books, I'll be sending a video link to all buyers showing an uncut, one shot video of giving away all 20 comics and even what ebay buyers receive what. I know that doesnt do much for initial concerns, but hopefully it alleviates them on the back end and shows I run a legit deal. I've already noticed the trackers and watchers on this site and I do not want to draw their wrath lol! And yeah I figured not having much for comic reviews would hurt, but I thought it might be offset by an 8+ year old account with all solid feedback. And yeah getting one of the lower comics wouldn't be great, I'll freely admit that, but I view it as a lottery ticket. 1:5 odds is pretty good odds for a potential 5x multiplier on your gamble. It's all about perspective I guess. Some win, some don't, but at least everyone gets something with mine. Happy holidays!
  12. I'm trying something a little different. I've got 20 different key issues including: Thor:God of Thunder 2, Conan The Barbarian 1, Marvel Special Edition 15, Star Wars 2 newsstand and many more. I'm doing a very small mystery bag lot with only 20 total key issues. All issues are listed and described and I do my best to give a fair grade opinion on them. Each bag comes with 1 of the comics listed, random lot assignment rules and video log details all given in the description. You have a 1 in 5 chance of getting one of those 4 issues! This is my first mystery bag type auction so also open to any input, I can take it EBay Key Mystery Bag Lot
  13. I think this already started with the "Preview" buys for around 10k. Someone is single handedly trying to shift the market.
  14. My dark horse star wars spec pile is growing too big for my liking.
  15. I bought a box of comics and found this in it, I have no clue any help on identifying it and any potential value?
  16. Are the older graded Batman 313's that DON'T mention Tim Fox going to become a premium graded variant? Like this one I have from 2018.
  17. All I can say is if you all aren't checking your local pawn shops, you're missing out! About a third have a stack sitting somewhere and most are clueless and I've gotten some gems at almost all of them. Today I got a 9.0ish edge of spider verse 2 first print with 2 others for 5 bucks out of a short box behind the counter at a pawn shop. Took it my local comic shop and turned it into a Thor God of Thunder 2 and a slab worthy Vader 3 Aphra. Not bad for 5 bucks and a little driving! Pawn shops are the best hidden gems I've found!
  18. Oh wow yeah this was Jellybeans! I picked through the rest today, he had a whole wall of loose comics, probably 20,000 total. Took me 2 1/2 days to go through them all
  19. I just had my own little Christmas at a used bookstore in a little town called Owosso, Michigan. This was a total of 18 dollars! Score! 😃
