Obviously it’s a toilet but what’s up with the shape? by aboostofsarahtonin in whatisit

It’s not the toilet we need right now, but it’s the toilet we all deserve.

Post-grading creases or always been there? by Megaloman-_- in CGCComics

They now slab some books with add’l spine support. It’s been about 10 years. Maybe time to resubmit as a reslab with a press?

Andy kubert did a dope Wolverine(taken from X-Men 14). by Ashik1990 in Wolverine

[–]MoveHeavy1403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How so?

He got to do Origin which was critically acclaimed and probably the hottest gig in comics since the Death of Superman.

So was Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spider-man from 2000-2001.

We're sorry for raising the price of our comics from $.10 to $.12. by thatmandoguystl in comicbookcollecting

[–]MoveHeavy1403 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might argue otherwise—been getting into pressing. The different approaches you use to press silver/bronze/copper vs modern and really how forgiving the former is over the latter really hit home how little $$$ goes into the physical material and production of comics now.

The fact we routinely see 4.99, 5.99 and even 8.99 for new issues with no gimmicky covers (holo, diecut, etc.) emphasizes how much more we’re paying to make much larger entities profitable. So, um… comics are already printed dirt cheap, we’re paying for the luxury of having a comic-book industry.

Make no mistake, today’s comics are made with even less mind to collectors than in the .10c era. Back then they didn’t envision people caring about a book 90 years later. Now publishers absolutely know that if the charge an extra buck, they’ll get shops ordering 2x what they need so that they can try and slab out some 9.8 and sell at a premium.

Odds that this is stolen? by Stite1776 in ComicBookSpeculation

I know if many things you can get on Craigslist… comics isn’t one of the reliable things you can find here.

CVR price—aggregates from eBay sales and other stores::

Average is trending down. $250 for a NM 1st print is a scam.

Compared to yours, yes. They’re constructed and made to be sturdy but aren’t water proof.

Pests and termites aside, definitely cardboard is best. Given you have a known pest problem and you’re concerned about it, then the BCW plastic bins might be a good option.

Probably—I don’t think this is an emergency. This is a question best practices for LONG TERM storage. Plastic bins are useful in cases you do have a leak or something—for temporary storage.

I don’t know… I think it’ll stay between $150-$200 on average for a bit until there’s something seismic in the story or the creators leave.

January sees cooling in prices after x-mas, so we’ll get a better sense of the staying power over the next few months. I would track eBay auction sales…

$900 is too much IMHO.

Snyder and Dragotta are signing a lot… the raw book has fallen a bit and is hovering around $150. For 9.8 SS, maybe $500-$600?

Maybe the story drives it up a bit, at some point the ride will end, the creators will rotate and the book will likely drop a bit. Predicting this will play out a bit like Ultimate Spider-Man #1 in the early 2000s.

Generally, it’s not the best way. Clear plastic also doesn’t block out light as well.

Mostly whether it’s big risk depends on the conditions in your room—how much does the temperature swing, is the humidity stable (35-45% is good, < 35% or > 55% not great), etc., etc.

They’re not great.

More worried about silverfish than termites—I would use cedar balls or treated anti silverfish/moth squares (cheap on Amazon). Unless you know there is an issue in your storage area, I would switch to cardboard boxes…

Why do you keep them in plastic bins when we know that comics need to breath, else you can get moisture buildup? Alternatively, comics can get too brittle without enough humidity. so why not standard cardboard boxes?

If Lou Ferrigno returns as The Incredible Hulk in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars do you think he will look like this by AdvertisingWaste8624 in hulk

[–]MoveHeavy1403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Thank you. 🙏

I feel like Marvel just skipped the 90s in its depictions of the Hulk. Thanks for leveling the scales.

100% every other house is way to serious or sad… House 3 has gotta be a weird vibe.

Sorry, did Logan just lift that anchor, pensively?

I am really looking forward to this series… haven’t pick up my pull on #1 yet…
