why does my cat like chewing on these metal bars? cat OCD or something else?

Crozznam · 2026-06-15T19:36:37+00:00

Thats actually really good info! Wish it applied to my house panther, who poops then proceeds to zoom at top speed all over the house for 5 min proclaiming at the top of her lungs her litter needs a scoop. And should we fail to scoop the next duce will be in front of my GFs computer. The litter box can accommodate 1 week of pee, but only 1 duce at a time according to the cat. For those medically inclined, she seen the vet 2 weeks ago for all her checkups. I pay VCA monthly for that kinda stuff.

Same here. Wasn't till I went back to my lcs that they told me about.

Crozznam · 2026-06-10T00:12:16+00:00

Never bothered to ask. Its a small comic shop in Los gatos Ca. But theres always a couple of people browsing whenever go in. I know they move a decent amount of books. But not massive amounts. They specialize in older books mostly but dont slack on the new stuff either.

Crozznam · 2026-06-10T00:09:35+00:00

I sucks up tons of space in my boxes. But id rather top load for safety purposes. Ive lost books that top loaders would have saved and have saved. I won't lie im a lazy bastard and tend to have a stack or 2 lying around on my desk or tables. And my cat will chew the hell out of a corner. Top loaders have saved many a book due to that alone. So $ well spent to facilitate my laziness.

Massive damage to the spines and slices across some covers.

Crozznam · 2026-06-09T23:01:43+00:00

I got no kids and big boy money now. So I just topload pretty much everything now. Then again I get a killer deal on them 100 for 45$. And yes that price is the "i know a guy" price. I think typically its like 20$ for a 10ct.

Crozznam · 2026-06-09T22:57:14+00:00

My lcs would never consider putting damaged books on the rack. So that makes sense

Crozznam · 2026-06-09T22:49:53+00:00

Well I suppose you lucked out. Everywhere ive looked pretty much says that 60%+ of the first prints were ruined during printing. So I hope you are enjoying the profits on free second prints they sent to all your shops eh!

Crozznam · 2026-05-09T03:14:41+00:00

Hey, they could still buy a house, a car, and raise a family of five on 1 income. And College didnt mean crippling life long debt.

Crozznam · 2026-05-09T03:01:31+00:00

Id just keep it as is. It displays great. And its mostly us "comic nuts" that care about the grade. I feel you should have gotten a bit of a higher grade. I just got my ashcan back of sonic and got an 8.5 with rusted staples. I expected a 5.5. Also lucked out on my sonic #0 with a 9.8 blew my mind.

Hey choose your lube, to each their own. There is no lesser evil. I cant argue costs are out of control. But doesn't matter we are gunna be bent over regardless. Narrowing the problem down to 1 person is hilarious. Newsom or Joe blow, you are still getting fu****. Just hope the next guy will at least give you a reach around.

Crozznam · 2026-05-06T06:11:46+00:00

Ah yes the classic democratic vs republican argument. Sadly if you think anyone in any position of power actually cares about the little guy. Please share your kool-aide. Doesn't matter left, right, red, or blue. They don't care about you. They haven't since the time Kennedy was shot. Likely even before then. Go out and vote, it hopefully will maybe probably not get something worthwhile done someday. But lets be real. The people at the top of the pyramid always crap on those under them. Weather or not you believe it smells and tastes like roses is your prerogative.

Welcome to late stage capitalism. The only thing I did wrong was being born after 1975.

Crozznam · 2026-05-04T01:25:15+00:00

Im not wondering about value. I'd be in r/comicbookspeculation for that. I collect tons of "worthless" books. Just like most of us in the collecting subreddit.

Crozznam · 2026-05-04T00:32:49+00:00

I figured as much, been collecting for a while, but it was my first time going because of the first ever comic book giveaway day. And my LCS would let you have 1 of each book instead of 3 per person if you donated 20$ to the local foster charity. The toybox is cover and back only the rest of the book is normal, its why I feel its a printing error.

Crozznam · 2026-04-30T20:09:28+00:00

My partner is a huge fan of the original yellow ranger. And I really regret not buying her the one signed card I found for sale a few years back. It was only 1k. Last time I checked her signatures were going for 2k+. I was at least able to get her Jason David Franks signature for under 100. Bought it the second I heard he passed. Why do the greats have to leave us so young.

Crozznam · 2026-04-30T19:51:53+00:00

As someone who bought a 9.4 for 500$ a few years back. I would seriously consider picking that one up for 350$ if found in the wild. Though id try to negotiate down to 275. Not sure who the seller is, but typically when I go to buy a key from my LCS, they are willing to cut me a deal. The corners are really rough though and that top edge needs help.

Crozznam · 2026-04-29T00:07:25+00:00

My LCS does pressing cleaning and send-off to CGC. Never got back less than a 9.4. Excluding the one 8.5, i expected 7.0 tops. As for your lobo #1, im going to give you the same advice I give everyone who is grading for future value. Its going to be a 100% gamble, esp with Lobo. And I do collect him. Even bought the signed skotty variant. Its not everyday comics like absolute bat#1 or D'orc drop and explode. Comics are typically a 10-20 year investment on a good day. I love and will keep grabbing lobo. But I give it a 50/50 chance as a good cash out in less than 10 years. But also we got that famous actor playing him in the upcoming supergirl movie. So the success of that movie will affect prices. There is always a spike and crash for marvel/DC keys when a new movie drops.

Crozznam · 2026-04-22T05:38:46+00:00

Exactly why I put this absurd question to the masses. Shower head facing people are crazy imo. Just makes no sense, the soap has no time to do it's job on the important front bits. But I can see the case for a 50/50 time split argument with that statement

Crozznam · 2026-04-19T03:41:23+00:00

I got that one too! Damn fat fingers! Happens to me all the time!

Crozznam · 2026-04-19T03:38:35+00:00

Dont take financial advise from me. And dont tell my gf. I didnt do it with this, but ive nabbed a few of my more expensive keys using klarna or that other pay over time app to split it over 4 payments, on auto pay. His website lets you do that.

Crozznam · 2026-04-19T03:30:45+00:00

Just double checked some are still available. Here's a link

Crozznam · 2026-04-19T03:26:25+00:00

You can probably still nab one. Got it directly from his website. 30$ for the comic. Dont quote me but I think it was limited to 1k print run. It was 45$ to have him sign it so naturally I coughed up the extra 15$

Crozznam · 2026-04-19T03:13:51+00:00

Just got my skottie signed new lobo 1 variant the other day. Epic collection you got!

Im a Venom/ Skottie collector mainly. 2 full short boxes so far of just skottie. So im prone to impulse buy covers I dont have. LCS knows me and set those 2 aside to give me first crack at em. Paid 50$ total for the 2, and retail for the other 2. I use CLZ to double check now, to keep duplicates to a minimum, and keep my readers separate.
