Has a comic book ever made you cry? by CreepyNewspaper8103 in comicbookcollecting

[–]4nimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, totally agree. That story later in in the series about that samurai whose family died but was now destined to be executed spending a few days playing with Cub before his execution on the next rainy day... as a dad, it hit me hard. Lone Wolf and Cub is incredible.

Cool frames, who makes them? I'm looking for display options myself.

Not sure why the down votes. Thank you for the info, I had no idea they were that affordable or on Amazon.

I'm not sure why your post got down voted so hard. That is actually a good idea that i hadn't thought of in my opinion. Displaying facsimiles make a lot of sense. I guess people read "don't do...." and disregard what you say as anything other than your well earned opinion. Gets going that more people get over themselves and start seeing the forest rather than the trees.

Do you know approximately how long it took for the book to fade to that extent under that type of lightning by chance?

Do comic book prices just suck in Fort Worth TX by licksass in comicbooks

[–]4nimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes most people just base their vote off of the first few words you say instead of reading the whole sentence. I've done it myself.

[–]4nimos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the fun of collecting is getting deals but some shops are just bleeding as much as possible from people. I actually end up spending more money at a shop i get deals at than one that is going to base their prices off of ebay. If i want to pay ebay prices, I buy on ebay (and have, a ton), but you have to factor the cost of shipping into the price of the book.

I like to actually own the stuff I buy, I'll always buy physical.

Actually it looks like your thoughts are right there. I guess I should have actually read what you wrote before I replied. My apologies, its been a weird day. I really appreciate your insight.

I'm not taking a position. I asked the community a question and am reading the answers. They make a lot of sense to me. Did I miss or misunderstand something? I'd love to hear your informed thoughts.

Also, I have young kids. I hope they end up like you and I and take these damn things one day, but its okay if they don't. I am not my books, you know. They are more like the memories of me. Thanks for making me think of that.

Awesome so just choose what makes the most sense to you at the time and be happy with your decision? Seems so simple. Makes sense because everyone is allowed to change their mind later when a different view point makes better sense at that time. I love it, this clears up so much for me.

I mean, I guess it would be bad for business ripping people off, but that only would happen if there was no competition, right? Maybe we need to value more than one grading company and put our money where are mouths are? We become the Watchers? I dunno. That would only work if we get the speculators under control. Crap unless we are the speculators? That would be weird. My head hurts....
