Hmmm I would need to think on that and pay attention to what I do and for how long

Are you serious?

Glad you corrected me I do not want to affect the final hammer price if the book is all good.

I am, admittedly, predominantly a lurker on this chat forum, but I have read enough to have literally spit coffee when I saw this post. 

"Affect the final hammer price". 

My, this was certainly rich! Thank you for the good laugh, I really needed it.

I believe I am. I am generally just a lurker and post reader, so I hope to be able to learn how to navigate this version.

Riverdale is a big hit for CW. Try to buy some Archie books that have the main characters' first appearances.

It is sad to say this, but the evidence of your actions point to a long and hard road of poverty, not success, unless you change your outlook and demeanor.

No matter the reasons or what you type here, your actions define who you really are. I would hazard a guess that most folks are already disappointed in your comic selling actions, but knowingly spending money that wasn't yours is just down right dishonest. New low for you.

 

Spending money that wasn't mine? Yes it wasn't mine and I tried more then once to give it back and they didn't want it and because of that I had to use the money because at that time I had no other choice if you want to consider it low then go right ahead.

 

When I told them what I did they didn't even care they just said they would work out a payment plan.

Are you seriously trying to justify spending money that doesn't belong to you? How could any perspective comic buyer possibly trust sending you money, or anyone trust sending you a consignment, knowing that if they are not happy with their purchase or you sell an item for them, you might get desperate enough, and spend their money on yourself and not be able to refund them or pay them? Please understand this is a rhetorical question. Your admitted actions have already answered this question for you. While I certainly have no right to judge you, your actions once again, speak louder than any words you might say.

I cannot believe that no one else in this thread has clarified the point that ADHD is NOT a learning disability. True, it might have affect on how one learns, but it is NOT classified as a disability, at least not in the United States.

Had a wee bit of time to quash and read the last 1900 responses. Clearly this young fellow has a bright future in front of him as a comic book purveyor. As MJ would say, "Go get 'em, tiger!"

Well, at least we know you can use google. Congratulations.

Perspicacity this one does not possess.

This might be the single greatest idea ever. I am all in.

I thought it was a pretty good movie.

Checked out your for sale thread. It perfectly illustrates the fact that you don't understand the comic market. $10 to ship a $2 comic? Step back for a minute and consider what person pays $12 net for a $2 comic. Then consider how much labor you would expend for a potential profit of what, .50-$1.00? You clearly don't understand or haven't thought any of this through. Now I'm not a board expert like some of these folks, but I'm in tune enough to offer you this criticism.

Not sure I learned anything from this thread that I can apply to my daily routine, or to life in general.

They're both 2 of the safest books in this hobby. Both are winners.

Af15 is relatively safe. Tmnt is anything but safe. In fact I would call it risky at near 5 fig levels (but then I would call any post 1975 book "risky" at those levels)

 

Nothing is "safe" when it comes to comics. Such a small segment want them, and I wouldn't think that segment is growing.

 

However, your statement reflects a belief that old is a huge factor in value. And yes, it is a factor. But it's not nearly as important as supply and demand. We know the supply of TMNT #1 is far, far less than any Spidey book, AF #15 included. The demand may not be the same NOW, however, TMNT have been around for 30 years now, constantly in the public eye, in one fashion or another. All those 8-to-whatever year olds that grew up with them are now at prime income age, and just like you(assuming), me and other older guys, nostalgia will drive them to what they loved when they were young. Heck, my 7 yr old and all his classmates love them.

 

I think TMNT #1 IS the AF #15 for the next generation.

 

IMHO, of course.

 

The flaw, as I see it, is that while the turtles have been around for 30 years, spider-man has been around for those same 30 years (and 20 more) and is infinitely more popular and in demand and with far greater exposure and support. To state tmnt #1 is going to be the equivalent to amazing fantasy 15 is, in my opinion, a flawed reach.

Today's income earning, former 7 and 8 year old products of the 80s overwhelming will continue to love and subsequently choose spider-man. Tmnt just doesn't translate as well, nor does it hold up when one compares the two.

I have quite a few runs of Star Comic titles. I don't actively seek them out these days but I do own quite a few.

This is book I'm taking about. Balance of FC detached

 

That's a shame.

I see copies like this for sale, but rarely see them sell!

I wish my apartment had an extra room that I could set up as a comic room.

I sold my last 8.0 FF 1 for $42K....sold my last 8.0 Hulk 1 for $33K....sold my last 8.0 SC 4 for $30K...

 

so, FF 1 is still #2 in grade (7.5 and higher), but hulk is rising!

 

What spoon do you people do fora living to be able to buy and sell books like that?

Apparently they buy and sell comics for a living.

I can't believe Rick gets killed in the next issue. I am done with this rag.

 

Nice try. Anyone who wants to see the covers from 116 and 117 - here's a LINK.

 

Slightly spoilery I suppose in terms of who's alive in those issues.

This information is publicly known. The writer, Kirkman accidentally leaked.
