| @Davethebrave They are local to me and looking on their website they specifically list comics. I reached out to a few other places and heritage auctions had a much better fee. I think it was 350 an hour or 2500 a day and if I send them my list they will give me an actual estimate. This is all just fact gathering stage since my dad hasn't passed yet. |

| Again, sorry about your father. As you know I’m in a similar position. As for the costs, it sounds like Heritage “gets it” and the other, despite listing comics, doesn’t. If they price themselves out of such an easy task with third party data references they either can make $ more efficiently elsewhere (perhaps) or they really don’t understand what’s involved (likely). I have dealt with auto insurance claims/appraisal on a minor collector car and despite them professing expertise, they had none. Partly intentional, partly not. Of course was able to get proper appraised value but not worth the effort involved so later everything to a true specialist. Quote: Originally Posted by Bronte |

| @Davethebrave Thank you. It may be a bit soon to say, but I think he has been better the past 2 weeks. He started eating again. (He is down to 104 lbs fully clothed.) We shall see.... |

| Once had a cop knock on my door at night. His patrol car ran into my fence and he left his me his business card. Why didn't he right himself a ticket? He instead told me to call the office in the morning. (I declined to do so because I did not want to get on a cops bad side over minor damage) | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| If vampires need to be invited in...how often do they need to be invited? i.e. if they lived in one region for hundreds of years would they have eventually been invited into most places and could now come and go as they wish? |

| @KatKomics In theory, anybody inside could invite them in, so it didn't have to be the homeowner. My assumption is once invited you are good to go. What always baffled me was how pervasive the vampire mythology is in almost every culture. Blood is a given in terms of vitality, but if you look at the mythologies of various countries, nearly all have something "similar" to a vampire. And I'm not talking countries that bordered near other countries, far and wide there are similarities of vampiric lore throughout the world. I chose the forum name Bronte because of a friend. However, prior to that i used to use the name Nosferatu on all my forum names.... I remember even arguing with my English professor in college that Dracula was partially the victim in Bram Stoker's dracula. |

| @EbayMafia It's been too long since I've seen that film. But one of the supposed ways to keep a vampire at bay that would have saved a Lotta folks a Lotta trouble would have been to scatter a shit ton of rice at the doorway. In theory, the vampire had to count every grain of rice and if interrupted had to start all over again. I think mustard seeds was a variation of the rice method that could also be used. Granted that would make for crappy stories.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte @Bronte In the 2nd Grendel series (the color comic) the villain is a globally famous Kabuki dancer who turns out to be a vampire from Japanese mythology. I think I read something where Matt Wagner said that he was inspired by the same thing...his intrigue at the idea that Vampires exist in the legends of many cultures. |

| I vaguely remember something about that. The comics were from the comico, publisher right? Great now I'm going to have to go looking to see if I can find it. Hopefully something distracts me before morning. Lol |

| Does anyone think high value common books like Hulk 181 and UF4 will crash? Why are other common “1st appearance” books like ASM 361, ASM 300, ASM 100, ASM 129, etc not reaching these same astronomical numbers? They are all popular characters as well. There are plenty of others just The ASMs were on my mind as they are on my want list. I dont want them to reach astronomical numbers because I could possibly afford them at some point🤣 Ya the value is in the context and what it means to the hobby/market yada yada, but I don’t see validity in the insane numbers these 2 in particular yield when compared to less common high value books like X-men 1, Hulk 1, detective comic 27, and so on. Regardless of grade. |
