Nice Books everyone!!!!!!!!! Still can't get used to Greggy buying Marvels!!!!! I'm watching some slabbed WBN for the slabbed run.....anywhooooo, very nice stuff everyone.....carry on.

Holy Polaris Batman......almost a Million views on this thread!!!!!!! The books look great, keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You, Mrs. CC on her 43rd birthday at Smith Mountain Lake in Virgina.

Sweet Books one and all, still trips me out the life this thread has taken on!!!!! However, keep up the good work and Happy Hunting.....love the eye candy in comic book form!!!!!!!

Some great books my brethren.....some fantastic books as well. I have continued my plodding on the Wrightson 11 ( HOS 92, Swamp Thing 1-10), I have added Swamp Thing 2 CGC 9.6 w/ white pages, but sold my HOS 92 CGC 7.0 about a month ago due to wanting to upgrade to 8.0-9.0 for that issue. So, need to aquire a HOS 92, Swamp Thing 3, 4 and 6 and I'll be done with the Wrightson 11.

Picked up WBN 10 and 16 slabbed in 9.4.......heck, I was plodding with this, but when you can pick them up for the price of basically slabbing them w/ shipping included...well, pulling the trigger is easy.

Outstanding books everyone, I love to let the pages pile up, then browse through the plethora of raw and slabbed beauties!!!! I just got in another Werewolf by Night slab......the plodding along......taking my sweet time slabbed run, anywho, it's WBN # 38 9.4 from the Bowling Green Pedigree, which gives me two from the BGP as I have MSpot 2 in 8.0 as well. Happy Hunting my brethren!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!! Some fantastic books people, I just went through 20 pages of very nice work,keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace-CC.

i switched to trublood. Ahhh, the Jolt Cola of Orange Soda........I can dig it. (thumbs u

Hey Supa, by looking at your avy, man you could pull off Morbius in a heart-beat, and ya still laying off the ganga??

Seems like all the cartoons on cable already serve this function-No? Just watch and listen

That lingo sounds like the set up of an Oceans 11 caper. ......god, I do love this place.....how did I ever stay away so long

I never looked at it this way - makes perfect sense! Chit, out don't even know if it makes sense.....sounded good though, just my inner Tupenny and Dover trying to come out

If you're making the comparison with '98-'99, perhaps...perhaps not. Any other time period? Not a chance. Late 80s and early 90s, there were LCSs absolutely everywhere...and all of them stocked 1,000s & 1,000s & 1,000s of back issues. Hell, a good proportion of their income was generated this way. These days? Try to find a LCS. Try to find one with back issues. Taxguy says there are more collectors post-eBay...and you offer the fact that local comic shops barely stock back issues as evidence against that? I'm not saying he's right, as I have no way to measure the size of the collecting community, but the primary reason local comic shops are barely selling back issues now is because collectors no longer sell to them, they sell to each other directly...and guess why? eBay. Every shop in my area tells me the same thing, they used to have collections walk into their doors unsolicted throughout the 80s and 90s, but that slowed and eventually stopped after 1999, so their stock sucks now. The only local comic shops I've seen with decent back issue selection are the ones where owners actively seek collections out as opposed to waiting for collections to come to them. BINGO FF, Ebay is the Back Issue market now, as my LCS calls me ( case with the 3 NM 98 I unloaded), I come in usually make the deal since the buyer is "motivated" and then give the owner a bird dog fee for the hook-up. When I was still in the Raleigh area I cleaned out both Capital Comics stores and Foundations Edge of Silver Age Spidey and FF and the VF or better Marvel Horror I sucked up like a Black Hole (whoops, that's porb headed to the "out of context member quotes"), it especially true for WBN 32 and TOD 10 as both LCS call me for them at least twice a month. The pure fact is as you put it-Ebay is the transcendental long-box for back issues and the LCS simply can't recover from this to re-stock a quality back issue selection-Peace CC.

These new collectors, then... Just when are they going to start arriving because by every measurement you want to take, this hobby is getting smaller by the week. And the census figures tell you that this particular book will be easier to catch than crabs in COI's crib. (thumbs u Once again, yes, this thread is about the 9.9 mega sale, but my references were to raw sales......and it's still cooking.
