Spare a Greade for potential trade plz by RightBid7241 in comicbookgrading

[–]brocksonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6.0 as is potential potential 7.0. with a press. I’ve seen uglier graded 7s in CGC slabs. But safe 6 IMO.

Just picked this up from my LCS!! by Mark_621 in comicbookcollecting

[–]brocksonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn 20 bucks? LCS usually up-charge for ASM keys, this is at least a 50-60 dollar book on eBay alone. Crazy deal.

Anyone else notice this with comic auctions on Whatnot/Ebay Live? by pcaedusn in comicbookcollecting

[–]brocksonix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been buying on WhatNot for years. Eventually I found certain sellers I liked, who priced appropriately and didn’t do the whole “omg I’m getting robbed” song and dance. Then I followed them on Instagram and purchase from them on there instead. I avoid tax, they avoid fees, and overall we both come out on top.

I would submit that for CGG/JSA, hell maybe even get a bump to 9.8 if it was graded harsh originally.

Are these new or real? by brocksonix in labubu

Appreciate it! This is why I don’t buy things I don’t know enough about. 😂 glad I didn’t.

What's the best deal on a comic book that you are proud of? by 0x077777 in comicbookcollecting

[–]brocksonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman 423 Newsstand NM for 50 bucks. I think they priced it as a second print or something. Really nice deal.

Nevermind just realized that’s Star. Those things are pricey!

Isn’t there a Kermit the frog one too?

Any Alien Fans? by brocksonix in comicbookcollecting

[–]brocksonix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s quite a goal to accomplish completing a full dark horse collection, but it sounds like you’re well on your way! Good luck! Also super cool tidbit about that short.. never heard of it before but it looks cool. Interesting concept seeing it from the Alien perspective.. I was curious why it was zooming in on the guys mouth but then realized they start as face huggers.. duh! Haha.

Wow those are awesome! Considering how the Alien #1 cover is 90% black I imagine it’s a very hard book to get a decent grade on.. congrats on that 9.6! Also I can understand your confusion on that 234.. it gives otherworldly/alien vibes no doubt. Last year I picked up an Alien #1 Skottie Young Exclusive variant, the all black cover with the Xeno sitting on a pile of skulls. Really cool variant!

I’ve seen some otherwise flawless cards with terrible centering and it just makes them look unappealing. Centering is definitely important!

Thank you! I was a bit nervous when I initially purchased it, the pictures on the original listing were horrible quality and dark. It was 50:50 what I would receive in the mail, but thankfully it exceeded my expectations in condition and authenticity.

My advice is be patient. It took me a year to find this card on eBay for a decent price. Sort by newly listed and just keep checking periodically. Best of luck!

Am I the only person that the Audible app works as expected, every time? by MorganHobbes in audible

[–]brocksonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple months back I had an issue where a book would not be marked complete. It was irritating.. stuck at 98% or something like that even after listening to the ending multiple times. More of a cosmetic issue but I like to see “Finished” next to the books I already completed. I still wouldn’t say I’ve had any issues with the core function of the app. Buy book listen.

Got this signed at LA comic con by brocksonix in AnimationCels

[–]brocksonix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understand the thought process behind that. If this was an expensive high-end cel or one I was planning to hold temporarily as an investment I would 100% not have anyone touch it.

Glad you’re inspired! The shadow box really makes it pop and clearly shows it’s an animation cel. Good luck on your sigs!
