  1. I think this a cool cover. I had a tracking bid on this with the intent to bid aggressively, but there is no way I would pay this. I can only think that the romance genre market is leaving me in the dust.
  2. Wow! Maybe I need to think about selling my copies. They are a little better than VF-.
  3. A few weeks ago, I heard he was battling Pancreatic cancer. For some reason, finding out he has passed is still a bit of a shock to me. My condolences to his family and friends.
  4. The Comic Swap is in the books, and I had a great time! I sold four times as much as I was hoping. I can't wait until tomorrow.
  5. I think this "consultants" thing is just as big an issue, if not more so. I have a bad feeling right now.
  6. For me, I would call the auction result shocking. I didn't even feel this book was worth tracking, let alone bidding on it! I know I bought a vast majority of my Romance books when they were cheap, and now the prices have moved up, even sharply up. But I have to shake my head and wonder at some of the prices these books bring. Maybe I'm a dinosaur.
  7. Unfortunately, this did not happen to just you. I'm still waiting...for Josh to come back from safari...so he can sign the check...and maybe, I will get it before the end of January.
  8. It is not necessarily a bad thing. A while back, I bought a Golden Age romance book that was graded 9.2, with slight color touch. I got it real cheap. Obviously, the seller just wanted to get rid of this monstrosity. I could not spot the color touch through the slab, so I sent it in for color touch removal and re-grading. It came back 9.0. A real nice looking book! I can't see where the color touch was "scrapped" off. This book will stay in my collection for a very long time, even though it is worth at least ten times what I have in it.
  9. I bought this a while back and I didn't realize (then) how in demand this book is...
  10. I subscribe to a couple of antique publications and every so often they mention how VHS tapes go for very strong money at auction. I try never to tell people how to spend their money or what comic age they should collect or what food they should eat or what color they should paint their house. But when it comes to collecting VHS tapes, I just don't get it.
  11. Who doesn't like "kissing" covers? Or about to kiss...
