| Reading comics online. Found a site appears to be free. Doesn't have everything, but it does have quite a few books. Just read captain carter up to book 3. And they look like they have a long run of young avengers https://viewcomics.me/ |

| I'm in Dallas until Saturday or Sunday. Can anyone recommend a good comic shop? Ideally ones with a good selection of Silver and Gold (or at least Bronze). | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Not sure, I did buy this book at their Vegas store during my 30 day road trip last month on FCBD. It was graded as a VF. The sales clerk who pulled the book down from the wall made a comment it was VF as she saw the grade at the back of the backing board. You can see the wrinkling along the spine of this square bound book. I bought it because a Bunny for $30 I thought why not. Even a couple of full points off.  If I can remember when I get home I'll take a pic out of the mylar. |

| It was a pretty cheap book and they did have photos. But honestly unless it has glaring defects I am not good at spotting minute flaws. I need to just stick with mycomicshop.com but unfortunately their inventory isn't all inclusive..... sometimes I take tbe ebay risk..... | ||

| An observation that I never really noticed before about the FF....or maybe I forgot that I knew this once. The Thing = Earth Mr. Fantastic = Water Invisible Girl = Air The Human Torch = Fire Not sure this is meaningful in any way but just a different perspective of the FF to me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 Hey guys, so it's been 4 days since I put the musty smelling bronze age book in the Tupperware with a container of Damp Rid and a box of Arm & Hammer baking soda (top of box removed) and it worked!!! No more smell. None.... Problem cured. So I just put the book in a fresh bag & board and popped the next smelly contestant into the box open at the staples face down on a stainless steel wire rack with lid on tight. Yay... lol...  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebraveof course it doesnt....but it also does not remove the CAUSE of the odor, it just absorbs the odor while its present until it is removed...and then in many cases it will return, effectively creating the same effect as MASKING the odor as I said. Semantics are fun, but regardless, the baking soda will likely only temporarily remove the smell. Micro chamber can be left in the book indefinitely performing the role....it used to be part of the slabbing process at least for books at CGC I have had done. Unsure if it is still MCS adds micro chamber to larger ticket raw books they sell generally as well. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town No, it does in fact chemically neutralize the source of odors. Has to be used properly and an open box of baking soda is not the best way (surface area and all that). I strongly prefer activated charcoal per my post above. It is more effective. But baking soda does not mask odors. Masking an odor is to cover up with another odor. Completely different and not merely semantics. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DavethebraveA box of baking soda does not remove mold or other odors that might be locked within the paper fibers. It has no way to penetrate inside and do so..as your own post refers to. Baking soda cannot neutralize all sources for all odors however...it simply absorbs them while present. Once removed the problem returns....the odors were simply removed temporarily. The odor can and does often return in comics....to me that is semantics......or splitting hairs. End of the day, the solution is often temporary and the worse it is, the more temporary. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_townI bought a few different cryptos in early 2019. No more than $5 each just to test the waters while PayPal was not charging transaction fees up to a certain amount. I waited and watched. Bitcoin was the most steady of all. Lite coin and the others dramatically increased and dropped day by day and hour by hour. I sold and bought between my investments as I was watching the trends. It was interesting. I cashed out before PayPals promo ended I was plus $0.46 in litecoin  only being able to withdraw in $1.00 increments it is still invested and has the lowest drop percentage currently at 1.47% leaving me with $0.17 after all of the previous drops, but give that a minute it will rise or drop 1-3%š¤£ |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Agree to disagree. I will say that the time required to remove most embedded odors is much longer than a day or two. I would use the method for a much longer period of time. Depends how embedded. |
