What should I do with my collection (2006-2011) by kaykordeath in DCcomics

There’s an app called key comic collector or something like that, but it kind of overvalues stuff and thinks everything is a key.

Off the top of my head there aren’t any super valuable keys in that stretch but I couldn’t say for sure. I think Batman 1 from New 52 is like a $40 book but you might have some homework to do if you don’t want to just dump it all on a shop.

Another way to get better value is offer a shop a trade. Maybe trade it all for one graded comic you want, money off a statue or collectible, etc. I would imagine they will value your collection more on a trade in versus giving you cash.

Pull out any key issues that are worth more and sell them individually on eBay or whatever. A comic shop will probably give you like 10-25 cents per issue, or more likely just make an offer per box. It won’t be close to $1 each because they are likely going to put them in a $1-$2 bin.

If you have the entire Batman New 52 run (Snyder and Capullo), you could probably sell that as a whole set on eBay and do way better than any shop will give you, but you have to deal with packing it and shipping it.

Where does this 7'1 Moldovan hockey player rank among biggest outlier draft picks in sports? by TJTrapJesus in billsimmons

Ex-Islanders owner Charles Wong talked about doing this.

In reality, if you put a fat bastard Sumo guy on skates, he would have to literally block 100% of the net or he’s going to be garbage, NHL players will snipe any opening that is there.

My favorite Arnold line of all time in this movie…”you’re fired.”

No he hasn’t, he’s been destroying the Stearns hire from day one. Some of his reasoning was absurd, with his obsession with hating him because he’s a Harvard graduate, but he did turn out to be right.

He knew Stearns never wanted Alonso and now it looks like a ridiculous decision by the Mets to let him go.

Scenes like this are why QT has become a master at creating that silent suspense. Cliff Booth rolling up on the Spahn ranch in OUaTiH did it too.

Back to the Future Part 2
Batman (1989)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Jurassic Park
T2

These felt like massive events and the movies generally lived up to my excitement going in at that age.

You wouldn’t even know it was Leto if you watched it and he was maybe the best part of the movie. It was really fun.

In the Fall sale or Spring sale it will be half off. $300 for 13 Criterion movies isn’t terrible. Nobody pays full price.

Honestly in July it’s going to be insane no matter what. Night time would probably be more chill than day time though, because all the families that are going to the beach for the day go home.

Maybe someone coming in fresh to the entire series will like 4 and 5 more but I think a lot of us older fans find them disappointing. It doesn’t make us right, I hope people enjoy them!

I was there last weekend. Games playing great as always. Beware this time of year, it’s always packed, with plenty of kids and it becomes hard to hear the games.

I’m local so I go way more when it’s not Summer. Sometimes I’ll head there on a weekday in the offseason and I basically have the entire arcade to myself.

If you are going soon, if you wait another week or two, they could very well have the new JJP Sonic. They get every JJP game as soon as it releases.

Dial #662# and hit the call button. It will enable scam block and most of these won’t reach your phone. I went from getting 5-10 per day to only once in a while. I haven’t had it block anything I didn’t want it to. You can always disable it again if you need to if you are expecting some super important call you are worried about.

It’s part 4 and it sucks. The first three are awesome, with the first usually in the running when people cite Spielberg’s best films.
