  1. Timely conversation with you this week! Bob and I had a brief conversation around this exact topic on Tuesday. I'm going to bring some books to C2E2 for Bob to look at for trade. Flip side of this is on the seller and how much time and effort it's worth. For me, at this stage in life, time is more valuable. Note: I have no intention of selling my collection anytime soon (measured in years) but I do want to clear out under copies. For years I've said I would post them here... Clearly unsuccessful getting around to that.
  2. I was never a big Miller fan, but did like his Daredevil run and I thought he started to slip with Dark Knight Returns. But the story compensated greatly. Where I always felt his talent laid was in the layout. Very creative.
  3. 58 in the year of our Lord, 2024...
  4. I used to have to go to a plant in Duncanville (about 10 years ago) and drove right by that store! Should've stopped in but usually was tied up work-wise or heading back to airport.
  5. Hope you feel better! At least you acknowledged the prizes and thanked the sender! For those that don't, it's not that hard to send a simple "Thanks" via messages if you can't post pictures. Afterall, you chose the prizes you wanted.
  6. I bought from them a few times years ago and had similar experiences. Over-graded, poor customer service communication, website is hard to navigate. Every now and then I check them out thinking maybe it's a better site.
  7. Thanks for sharing Raffle prizes. Another part of the fun to see the generosity and creativity.
  8. Keeping this going as part of the fun is to see what people got.
  9. I'd say Baltimore from my experience. C2E2 isn't bad but that is because Dale and Bob are there so I have a comfort-zone. Used to be better before COVID.
  10. Looks like what Motor City Con has become. Fewer comic dealers since COVID and that was actually declining for a few years before. I traveled to Baltimore this past year and it was far better in regards to Comic Dealers. Plus I usually go to C2E2 to catch Bob Storms and Dale Roberts. (I guess I could just order online but not as fun as in person) Thanks for the report on New Orleans! I went to a couple Wizards (in Chicago) back in the day but didn't like the cost and path they were on.
  11. So cool you got the Heroes of the Horrors book! I had that as a kid over 40 years ago. Read it many times. Good memories and still have it though it's falling apart a bit...
  12. Picking @Ron C. Mystery Box turned out to be awesome! (I thought it would be good as he was my Secret Santa a few year's back...) I was stunned by the cool things he included. 4 CGC books with two signed! Upgrade to Battlestar Galactica #1 from my youth. Fantastic comics like Wolverine #3 and #4, Man-Thing #1 (another from my youth! Remember buying it at drugstore.) Sal Buscema art book, a Destroy All Monsters Super 8! Original art! Plus much more. Thanks again to Ron for the great gifts and generosity! Happy New Year everyone!
  13. Another wonderful Raffle Event in the books to close out 2023! Thanks again Sledder for all your hard work and patience! This, along with the Secret Santa, make the site special and add to the community. We can all share in the hobby we love. Let's get more people involved next year and make 2024 the biggest yet! Happy New Year everyone!
  14. Once "coffee" is associated with candy, I'm out. Blech
  15. Frazetta prizes are always tempting. It was on my list
  16. Not shocked mine is drifting down. Reminder: the title says 5 BA JLA books but there are other JLA sets included. Might not be for everyone. Great prizes still left!
  17. My fourth is still here so I'm excited to select #14 from Ron C.!
  18. If picking live, you'll need to spell out what you picked.
  19. I'm planning on picking live though I do have my list in. May change at last moment... I'm insured either way...
  20. I'm happy you enjoyed them! I usually try and personalize the cards, some better than others... Merry Christmas!
