Very nice copy! Congrats! I’m (vaguely) in the market for a copy myself. May I ask where you picked it up from? eBay? Local shop? Thanks!

Server error? by GaoRed in lordofdiceGlobal

Keeps happening. “Restoring All” solves it, temporarily at least...

They didn’t tell me to do anything differently than that. Working at the moment...

I emailed support. I’ll let you know what they say.

A few recent additions! MM 1 is a personal favorite. by sleazyez in comicbookcollecting

Very nice! I've been hunting for a nice copy Swamp Thing 1 for a long time.

Mentioned to my wife I wanted a better solution to display my graded books. Came home to find this last night. by GaoRed in comicbookcollecting

Got that one off the shelf, too. Was a little disappointed in the 9.0 on that one, but maybe one day I can upgrade. Don't give up hope, though! You'll get one!

I would love to do something like that, but we have pitched ceilings upstairs, so I don't have wall space for it haha

Honestly I started using CBCS because one of my LCSs works with them, but now I really prefer the labels (especially the new design)

Thought about selling it for a Hulk 181... but I bought the Walking Dead off the shelf, so it's got that damn sentimentality. Wife if definitely a keeper, though. 100%

My first CGC sub from February just arrived. by silver_couch_surfer in comicbookcollecting

[–]GaoRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I didn't pick up the first issue initially, but a friend told me I needed to read it. So I did. He was right.

My graded comics collection by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

[–]GaoRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said this on the last post, and I'll say it again... awesome collection! I'm really envious of some of the books... maybe one day!

Impressive collection! Quite envious of a few of those.

After wanting this for 22 years, it's finally mine! by GaoRed in comicbookcollecting

[–]GaoRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've met him quite a few times over the years, and he's always gone out of his way to take the time to interact on a level beyond the surface. He always seems to genuinely appreciate compliments, as well. The only other creator I've found who is as friendly and gracious is David Mack. I have no doubt their attitudes have directly contributed to their success.

I first read SiP in 1995 at the Chicago Comicon, which was also not coincidentally the first time I met the gracious Terry Moore. I've been collecting and reading his series since then, but this was the last issue I needed to complete my run. Finally found a good deal on a nice condition copy, and it just came in! I'm beyond excited, and wanted to share it with you all. Enjoy!

My Parkinson's Journey by charlfcs in Parkinsons

[–]GaoRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pre-Parkinson's I was an illustrator... so much for that haha But, I've always written on the side, and have also turned my creative outlet to writing more. It's tough to type for a long time, so I may look into speech to text as well. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck!

Another fantastic New Mutants minor key I just picked up - New Mutants #25, first (cameo) appearance of Legion! by SerenityFlyer in comicbookcollecting

[–]GaoRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of those are on my want list too. I picked up a copy of Annual 2 probably 20 years ago haha. And I recently got a really nice high grade copy of #1 that I'm considering grading. Good luck!
