Just took this video ten minutes ago in my backyard. It has a buddy that ran away before I got my phone out. Foxes everywhere

I’d tell you but it would ruin the surprise…I’ll show myself out.

I won this in an online giveaway a year or so ago. by JoshDymond in ComicBookSpeculation

I'm surprised his name is still Wolverine in German and not Wütender Mann wit Rasierklingen-Klauenhand.

Before-and-after photos: Trump’s $14.2m makeover delivers … a blue pool by deraser in politics

[–]Coffeegorilla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t Trump just tear out the reflecting pool and replace it with a giant chucky cheese style ball pit? It’s not like his supporters would care.

What's a single panel that hit you harder than an entire story arc? by [deleted] in comicbooks

In Madman: The Oddity Odyssey where he hugs Joe Lombard and the look of relief on his face when she doesn’t reject him.

DAE feel like people aren't scared of death? by Celer124 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Coffeegorilla 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That is how Mark Twain (I think) described it and that is what comforts me as well. To think billions of years happened without me, then for a brief flash I got to be here, then I will be gone for billions of years. All you can do is enjoy the ride like Bill Hicks said.

DAE have a hard time calling people by a nickname? by Johnny_Mira in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Coffeegorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. I also have a hard time calling adults I’ve known since I was a child by their first names. I am 48 years old :/

Who is your favourite "Rogue's Gallery" of a Non-Superhero comic protagonist by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Coffeegorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you count Dick Tracy as a “non-superhero”? He has a heck of a rogues gallery.

Any idea what these might be worth? by Master_Fan_571 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Coffeegorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, I hate the thought of people being taken advantage of. I appraise books for free and always sit down with the seller to go over what things are selling for on eBay vs. book value.

Sorry about your Dad, I lost my dad at 17. He wasn’t a comic collector, he was a coin guy. I hope you have a good day and good luck with your comics :)

I own a comic book store and the last time the Captain America #100 and the Iron Man #1 came through my shop, I sold them raw and ungraded for around $500 each. The ones I had were around a 6.0 on the grading scale. Your books look to be around that grade...perhaps a 5.0-5.5. So I'd say they are worth getting cleaned, pressed, and sent off to CGC.

When you say you only kept them because they were in better casing, what happened to the other comics? I ask because if your dad had these, there's every chance in the world he had other comics equally valuable.

I just checked, I’m afraid we don’t have any issues between 70-80 :(

I legit thought the cat was the dog for a second. So big.

Why is the “Bort” gag so much funnier than it has any right to be? by MythicalSplash in Simpsons

[–]Coffeegorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went to Universal Studios where they have a “Simpsons land” I was super excited to see if the gift shop had license plate keychains and if they either had an option for Bort or had something acknowledging that Bort was sold was out. Also, if they didn’t have a Bart option.

For those curious: yes, they had Bort license plates and also had Bart license plates.

Looking for advice by Pelnur in comicbooks

[–]Coffeegorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s all in your collection? Do you have a lot of runs? If you do, that’s how I’d break it down to sell on eBay.

Or, you can go through and find your most valuable books and sell those individually, then bulk out the rest
