@Pre_Coder - You really got up early! You probably remember at the end of the day (if your parents let you stay up late enough) stations signing off for the night with a flag flapping in the wind and the Star Spangled Banner.

Test Patterns
That little white spot on the tube that took forever to disappear when you turned off the TV

And if you got up too early on Saturday, you had to wait for a farming show to end before the cartoons started.

@esaravo Yes sir, Ed. Not to mention staying up late enough to hear "The Star-Spangled Banner" right before that test pattern appeared. If I could stay awake that late, that is. 😆

I haven't submitted yet, but with a press I do hope it comes back a 9 point something.

Picked up #2 and #3 in comparable condition. Still searching for a high grade #4 (raw).




Good luck! I hope you find one. Keep me posted.

I never said they did. I personally hate them and avoid them like the plague. Even more so on 9.8 books. Just saying

Count me among those who could not give a shit about arbitrary qualifications imposed above and beyond industry grading standards. Poor newbies coming into the industry. Who knew it wasn't good enough to get a key or a high grade. Now you need also search for "The perfect wrap". Materialist Bourgeois Elitists, we are the Proletariat and we say "nay" to your perfect wrap conspiracy.



So Im a Materialist Bourgeois Elitists because I prefer to not have a mis-wrapped book?

"perfect wrap conspiracy?" So now it's a conspiracy? Are you Serious?

Your more than welcome to all the mis-wraps you want, but Stop with the ridiculous self righteous BS.

My initial sentences were serious. I assumed my intentional over-the-top hyperbole in the final sentence would be read with a chuckle. A light-hearted jab at the overall controversy. I apologize if anyone read it as intending to offend.

So get this when i started collecting, i collected cool covers that personally impressed me and as the days go on i evolve my self around a story arch that caught me wanting more! So till the multiverse comes to a end i will forver be trapped trying to piece the story together everyday! Just so in the end i will be a better person for learning a useless story that evolves this world to to multiverse! And some would call me stupid... I see it, and were reliving it! Thank you Kevin F. For giving me the chance to relive my childhood dream and forcing me to buy these comic books again couse i never appreciated nothing till you opened my eyes!
And really it wasnt him but he brought the twinkle to my eye!
Thing i learned is listen to your heart! Theres a reason for everything and theres a reason why you think the way you do!
And the answer is someone is telling you something! Weather you choose to believe it or not! Constance isnt actually you its actually someone else behind the mask which means more than you realize!
Have a good night all enjoy sorry for the long message!

@EbaySeller nah I knew your last sentence was meant in jest. Unfortunately in this age of posts and threads the meaning behind things sometimes does not come over well. In person chatting and jokes with the facial expressions and the tone of ones voice not always but generally the jokes are seen as they are meant to be.
Sorry for the long winded comment. Long day at work and it's getting late here.
As always.

Collect what you have joy in and have joy collecting 👍

I can't find those cartoons on tv anymore, but I still catch an occasional six million dollar man, wonder woman and Incredible Hulk

I just caught these two classics on tv the other day and had to take a video because it was like I was a kid again

Yes, I remember. Does that mean I'm old? I have a vivid memory of our family getting our first color TV. Before that, we could only get the network stations. With it, we were now able to get the UHF stations. That was the most awesome thing ever.

I knew you were kidding but was afraid others wouldn't when I read it. I've made the same mistake so I "feel ya".

I liked the "Dungeons & Dragons" cartoon from back in the 80s.

finally in my hands!!

Didn't know it but the reverse side also had a sketch though not finished and not signed....guess Mignola attributed?? Too bad the blue line work doesn't show on scans, the reverse side looks better than what you see here.
