    Nope, hundreds of thousands of anything add up to very little value individually, even 30 years later.

    It’s kind of sad how variant covers completely took over around 2000. Comic books have always been about 10 years behind sportscards. "Variant" cards took over in the early 1990s (limited "chase" cards), so it's actually right on time that we'd see variant comics switch from the content of the books to the "limitedness" of the covers around 2000. Sad, but true.

    I don't know if these belong in the discussion (not necessarily 1980s movies), but I feel like I must have bought them for similar reasons.

    That's the longest wording I've ever seen for "Of COURSE we are criminals, but their JOB was to catch us. They didn't do THEIR JOB very well."

    This is a fun bit of math, for those who would rather read about it than do it. You might think "up 50%" and then "60% off" would result in 10% off... but... If the original price is $100, then "hike his prices 50%" means the new price is $150. "Then run his 60% off sale" takes $90 off the price and the result would be $60, for a book originally priced $100. "hike his prices 50% and then run his 60% off sale" results in 40% off the original price.

    He created a serious Deadpool, so the bit of love is a lesser bit.

    It's funny that the cover he chose to feature on his post about retiring has a left foot that's just > (and the pose is the classic McFarlane Spidey/Spawn)

    Somewhat off-topic, but I believe the real-world person behind the dgarthwaite account did pass away.
