  1. The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of The Sierra Madre are two of my favorites. My son is a huge Bogart fan too. He bought a 1951 Chevy Styleline and added a personalized license plate which reads BOGART.
  2. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? That question is as relevant now as it was 2000 years ago.
  3. Praying for you Jimbo. I've seen the power of prayer work in my own family. Just this year, my brother suffered a heart attack and stroke. He fully recovered and is back at work. With God all things are possible.
  4. Alain is a treasure. He sent payment for a book within seconds after we agreed on a price. He contacted me immediately after receiving the book, and even left feedback for me.
  5. And he had a completed oil painting within 25 minutes. If Frazetta actually said that Bob "over works the painting", he should have realized that would not be plausible given the time constraint.
  6. Considering the popularity of Bob Ross, this is not surprising. He actually inspired me to give it a try. My (unfinished) tribute to Bob...
  7. Steve Ditko was my favorite Spider-Man artist. I remember seeing the change in Spidey in issue 39, and 10 year old me wasn't happy.
  8. Found this great deal on Ebay, but someone beat me to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-very-old-and-encapsulated-graded-comic-books-package-deal-/195359429658?hash=item2d7c54541a:g:P2sAAOSw7R9jKC7L&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAoI8UK2xm6HQ8XKnZbPO48bf29UpTkma/jWOu7XhEXeeeLMlpKAd26Fq9gcXX/pBGf22cTNZETIrYokIDaFBDmNqN2DPVar0cWQvc8fePCHCloZjWpQAolez76ZIvgzP+bFNKe1ptYEMLkYXrrILAzTqiodRIywbNr4ibQraX27uu4Aqswyglvyhzm5fbzQ9mUt1kJrZlw1N3yofIIgkgvzI=|tkp:Bk9SR7KyyqmOYQ&pageci=6f83caf2-00b6-4552-be3b-464230dc93ca&redirect=mobile
  9. Battlezone was one of the first 3D games. The other games of that era couldn't match that sensation of being immersed in a battle from all sides. It was great.
  10. Very happy for you. As a fellow hoarder, I can understand why you'd want to scale back. I have more hobbies and interests than time to enjoy them.
  11. The Atari 2600 was probably the first console I bought. Spent a lot of time playing Space Invaders. Shortly after that, I acquired a Vectrex console and was addicted to Battlezone. The Vectrex used a vector scan display instead of a raster scan. Lines were bright with no pixelation. Wish I'd kept it.
  12. Yet another reason to refrain from cracking open a slab.
  13. It was "buyer beware" before you bought it. He sold you a book for less than its normal selling price. He then sent pics which show he is clueless about how to package books for shipping. He's trying to torment you.
  14. Me : I don't think I'll go to Fantasticon this year, I really can't afford to buy anything good anyway. My wife : We're going. Me : You don't even collect comics! My wife : I like to look around. I guess we're going.
