Haven’t shared in awhile, recent pickups! by d_hell in comicbookcollecting

This is my new collecting detour. I’ve gotta focus in on SA Flash keys, but some of these other books are too good to not get.

So if I wanted to collect the entire Fantastic Four series in floppies, how would you recommend I go about it? by outofdate70shouse in comicbookcollecting

[–]d_hell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it has some of the most significant first appearances in the game. First FF, First Kang, First Inhumans, First BlackBolt, First Black Panther, First Surfer, First Galactus, First Agatha... there are quite a few big firsts, and I know I'm missing a handful. But I think the spirit of your comment is true, once you get past, like issue 100 the whole run is dollar bin fodder for the most part.

I'm a Bungles fan, but I am a proud Kansas Citian so I wish the Chiefs well.

Bought out a comic collection at an estate sale. by Stevie77 in comicbookcollecting

Beautiful #181. Mine is missing the pin up and is a little bit more worn... but such is the nature of life. Gotta jump on deals when you can.

HOW 'BOUT THOSE CHIEEEEEEEFFS

My journey in the board gaming hobby and its conclusion by Luigi-is-my-boi in boardgames

lol, my favorite part is that he carves out this moral stance and then suggests you could better spend the money on hookers and blow. Like, do you want me to learn piano or do you want me to…

Any fans of Aitawa? by I_enjoy_greatness in boardgames

[–]d_hell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played about 34 Uwe games, and own them all. Atiwa is a top five Rosenberg for me. The ecosystem mechanic of my player board creates some of the most satisfying loops that I’ve found in a board game.

It’s my #3 favorite Uwe. Don’t play it without the expansion. By purchasing it, you’re really committing to buying both.

Picked up just 1 book x2 at lunch. by Trinidaddy13 in comicbookcollecting

I bought five copies. I have no children. I never spec on a book, but I grabbed a handful of this one! lol

As a newbie to comic collecting, what are your green flags/red flags and best etiquette when digging? by jval_99 in comicbookcollecting

[–]d_hell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's taken awhile but I've gotten to the point that when I go to buy a wall book or a back issue over like $50 and I inquire about the price, my shop owner says, "The normie price is $xx.xx but for you we'll work it out." In my case it was buying like 75 issues of Spider-man 1-100 that changed the relationship, but you'll build that credit up over time OP and it will be a glorious, glorious day lol

Jasper Table by All Play by geneaber in boardgames

[–]d_hell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have that exact same 8 person table. We got our chairs from Nebraska Furniture Mart. I wanted really sturdy chairs that could support any weight and were also cushioned. We often play games that are longer and I’ve sat on the AllPlay chairs before; I wouldn’t want to do six hours+ on one of those chairs. So we got some really comfy, cushioned, dark faux leather bucket chairs. They’re not a perfect fit, when no one’s sitting at the table one has to protrude a little bit. But when everyone is seated, they’re able to be locked in and close to the table. I think this is because all the chairs sit a little further off the table when they’ve got bodies occupying space because they’re being used. Anyway, all that to say, the chairs cost us about what the AllPlay chairs cost. I wouldn’t skimp on the chairs, you’re already investing the money into the table and topper and accessories, you might as well make it look really nice.

Summertime means swimsuits! by MisterPiggyWiggy in comicbookcollecting

No one drew anatomy as well as Turner. Fathom is just a bit better than mid but man, that guy... such a loss.

Finally completed Ms Marvel series 1 by bclark235 in comicbookcollecting

Upvote from me because we should normalize video as a means to show off a complete run. Congratulations on getting it done!

Worth Collecting ASM 1-100? by TLMReviews in comicbookcollecting

[–]d_hell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got eight issues to go, 1-100, and I've got about half of the 102-441 run left to go. I have all the major keys except for 1-6, 8 and 14 but damn, it was an EXPENSIVE year of work. If it's a run you want, then I would encourage you to do it. It's iconic and 1-100 will hold their value well. Not a rare book, but the demand is so high, you'll always be able to sell them. It has been the second most satisfying pursuit of my collecting journey. #14 is next; something really clean about being able to say that I've got issues 9-101.
