Where's Billy Joel? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxYNSGD6tjl4nvr3xT5AoK8shDUs4O1GMb

Here's more fodder for the discussion. Graded a day apart and both with claims that it's the 1st Lois Lane.

I can confirm that he received my raffle prize.

Wait a cotton picking moment. When Steve left CGC he went to Heritage as a consignment director for about a year or two. After that he started CBCS. So who's got the over/under on how long it'll take for Steve to start BCGS - Borock Comic Grading Service?

"First Appearance of Wolverine in Silhouette"

2nd appearance of Iron Man and armor changes from grey to gold. For $45 you did good. In that condition, if complete and theres not much else that's not visibly wrong, it could go for $100 - $200.

Frank Robbins cover.

I like challenges like that. I'm sure I can make it happen.

How about this offer...

Take the money, leave the decoy comic.

Who knew that one day she'd be Hellcat. These teenagers grow up so fast.

Wish I remembered.

Nice surprise from this last weekend's Wondercon. Since it's square bound it's loose - no glue on it. Interesting that the dealer didn't call it out.

I finally finished my Defenders run with Marvel Feature 1 and Defenders 122 (who knew it was such a hard issue to find) at Wondercon yesterday. I pulled out my new Marvel Feature 1 and lo and behold, it's a double cover - but the outer cover is not attached. Probably since this is square bound and not saddle stitched - no glue applied to the outer cover. Jackpot!

I am down to 2 comics to complete the Defenders run - Marvel Feature #1 and Defenders 122. The latter issues have been a bit harder to source.

I've been buying from Patrick for more than a dozen years now. He's not "pickycollector" for nothing - he's got a good eye for good comics and the last couple of raw ASMs that I got from him are primo! He's got great communication during the transaction, ships fast and secure - a no BS seller. I will continue to buy from him.

I was out of comics for 25 years or so until Civil War and the death of Captain America got me interested again. There's diamonds out there in moderns, no doubt. It's a matter of having to dig through all the dung...and there's plenty of it.

Are you going, Jeff?

I was looking to purchase a pack of Mylite 2 and boards. What a sticker shock! In April 2020 I purchased a 50 pack of Mylite 2 and 100 half backs for $45 after tax. The cheapest I can get the Mylites alone is $40 and $60 for 50 full backs. That's $100 without tax or more than 122% increase. I know...global supply chain...inflation...blah blah. But this is getting ridiculous. I might have to revert to polypropylene.... **shutters**
