What's the ONE book you couldn't do without ??

[murph0]

I probably wouldn't be dumb enough to bring a comic but if I did it would be my hoarding collection of ASM #14's..

I'd bring my Origin 1-6 just to pester you folks with it...

[Mister_Comics]

This sounds like that old Sci-Fi movie WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and that one guy took his bible.

 

Maybe I should take my Treasure Chest comics. Na! I'll grab the Amazing Fantasy #15 instead.

[greggy]

You better watch it. They could be snatched and used against you! Those sides can crack your soft skull!

Might be a good idea to grab a Cerebus phone book... tp might be in short supply.

[Guest]

Well, I guess I'll be the only one to post "on-topic" to this thread...I'd say AMS #6 CGC 8.0.

Spidey # 7 CGC 9.2

Hey, all...

 

Have to say, my minty fresh copy of TMNT#1 I just got, man'o man have I been waiting a while to find that one in preemo shape and now someone down the road is going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands to get it from me.

 

 

[greggy]

Welcome to the forum. I don't really want the book but I'll challenge you! Hell, we live in the same city. BTW, do you ever show up at the pathetic local cons?

[bronzejunkie]

Thanks for the welcome Greggy... I do go to the local cons as pathetic as they are I'll have to say Leonard has gotten them moving a little better in the past year, do you remember showing up on a rainy sunday a few years back and seeing like six sad dealers tables with a group of unwashed fans mingly slowly around them like zombies... Things have gotten a helluv'a lot better recently but not to the standards that a city like ours deserves. It's such a small collecting community I'm sure we've even gabbed or came to blows over a longbox or two... .

 

Have you ever set up a dealer table here?

[greggy]

Nope, never plan to sell at conventions. Vancouver buyers are so cheap!

[bronzejunkie]

I hear that, one thing that chaps my butt is the lack of gradeing knowledge as well, it seems that only Pat at Golden Age is the only guy in twn with even a basic understanding of the term NM or even for that matter VF. I can't count the times I have been told that a comic is NM and I have ran down to a con or store and saw discovered that NM actually meant F+ at best. Sucks to live here as a collector. New York was so much cooler.

 

Whats your fave store in town, greggy.

[greggy]

Well Golden Age is the only decent store for any decent supply of older back issues. However, I rarely find any DC Bronze high grade which is my collecting specialty. I was able to dump some treasuries to him and get trade for it. Boy, they are too hard to move! The thing with Pat is that depending how busy he is, his grading may be loose due to him not inspecting as carefully as he should be. Doesn't help that he only works 3 days a week due to family committments!

[bronzejunkie]

Bronze age is my thing right now as well(as you could probably tell by the name) maybe we could do some trade'n for doubles.

[greggy]

Oh, I have plenty of doubles. However, DC is my specialty!

"Nope, never plan to sell at conventions. Vancouver buyers are so cheap!"

 

Hey we should have a competition with Toronto buyers! I think we've managed to alienate almost every American dealer (with the exception of Harley Yee, bless 'em).

[greggy]

Harley is a good chinese brother. He knows how to play the system to make money anywhere he goes!

[hogations]

The thing I'm also amazed at is the big bucks he'll spend at other dealers tables with little or no squabbling!

[greggy]

Maybe there is a hidden dealers' discount included implicitly in the price. Since he travels so extensively, he may be able to get the big bucks from the other foreigners!

Let's get this topic back on track!!!

 

My ASM 129, CGC 9.6 - I'm hoping it pays for the 1st year of my daughter's college in 15 years!!! Harvard baby, all the way
