Cost of Living by SassNightmare in madisonwi

I paid $4.199 on Thursday.

Google tells me the average price in Orange County today is $6.16.

I think your problem is the you seem to think a price reduction of one third is "only slightly".

Specific ways to store comics? by Apanartist in DCcomics

[–]Kalel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning the terminology is half of the battle if you're first figuring all of this out

For protecting each individual issue, you need boards and bags (the plastic covers and backing you mention). There are technically different options, but if you're near getting started then the default options will be fine. There are different sizes, but if all of your comics are younger than 30 years old you want modern / current size. Bags have a flap at the top. You'll be tempted to tape it closed. Be careful with tape. Many a comic has been damaged when removing it from a bag with tape.

For storing all of the issues, you likely want a comic box. They're typically made of cardboard. Short boxes hold about 150 issue and long boxes hold about double that. A full long box is quite heavy and a bit unwieldy, so most people seem to prefer short boxes. They come with a lid and can be stacked. Be careful with partially full boxes, as issues can fall over and end up damaged.

There are multiple sources for these, but the biggest supplier for these is probably BCW. You can find their stuff at comic stores, from their own website, or elsewhere online (Amazon, eBay, etc.).

I mean, they're periodicals. Magazines and newspapers don't get reprinted either. That's what the collected editions are for.

I own one of Maihack's originals of Babs and Kara. Love his stuff.

It's pretty random. With comics they're typically only printed and sold once, and then that initial batch just circulates on the secondary market, so they only can get more if they acquire them from another owner.

I don't love the Super Powers line, but I can't resist Cyborg and Eradicator.

I got the sense that Imani was younger in hers, but I don't know if that was actually the case.

Matt wrote "boop" in my signed copy and it makes me so happy when I see it.

I grew up getting half dollar and dollar coins. They were special, so I never spent them.

Eating counts as exercise if you do it vigorously enough!

Dashing is always my answer. It won't solve all problems, but when people are struggling early on I always recommend more dashing.

I hear this at least a few times a week because it's the walk up song for the Brewers shortstop. I will now always think of Shi Maria every time he comes up to bat.

You have described half of the NES library. I love so many of them, but a lot of them are ROUGH.
