In the real world of proper sport, who will win the FIFA World Cup?

And yet so few folks I know follow soccer. It is interesting how in the US we don’t (macro) have the same passion for soccer as other sports

That's what makes America, America in my view. You have Hand-Egg, Baseball and Basketball...and the greatest pastime of all...comic books.

U.S. failing to get in this time sure ain't going to boost interest.  Of course, we can hardly be blamed for losing a key game 2-1 to that powerhouse squad from Trinidad-Tobago.

Probably could have taken Trinidad or Tobago, but not both at the same time.

I was so happy when my son decided to not sign up again.  I have tried to watch it, but it is like watching paint dry in the dark (IMHO).

Rick,

Did you watch the Florida Auburn college baseball game last night.  What an exciting game with a steal of home and a game ending home run off the Auburn outfielder's glove.  Game ended pretty late, so you may have missed it.

Some people say that about curling ... there are strategies involved in both games ... perhaps this flag???

But isn't there strategy in everything we do?

Are you going to get to go to Omaha?  You guys are our (Texas Tech) side of the bracket again!  Great season so far for both teams.

The highest for a restored comic ever ?

At least 1 Action 1 restored has sold for a lot more (that I know about). And my former restored tec27 sold for more a few years ago, but neither was a public auction

Hey G.A.tor!

Two questions, and apologies if the first of them already appeared in this thread.

1.  Will you be at the Torpedo Comics event on July 15th?

2.  Just saw a raw Tec #168 that might grade out to an 8.5 or so.  Any idea on the current market for that book?  (pages oww).  40-50k?

Thanks!

1- not this year. Had toyed with idea but couldn’t swing it

2-40-50k certainly seems reasonable

I recently stumbled across the fact that Gene Colan worked on a stretch of Hopalong Cassidy for DC, about issue 80 through 110 or so.  I'm not sure I want to collect them, especially if they're tough to come by.  Are they steady sellers or dead ducks?
