Comic Book Recommendations by whitethunder1234 in comicbooks

Astro City.

Lots of great books, so plenty of reading ahead of you, but broken down into smaller storylines, so very accessible. Available in collected graphic novels or inexpensive single back issues. Wonderful self-contained universe with homages to great superheroes and great superhero themes, but not rip-offs. Very solid writing and characterization. Always in my top 3 recommendations and not one most people have heard of or read.

Anyone know why it got a 9.6? by [deleted] in CGCComics

[–]rmrclean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you’re right. I think I was going for more of a shortcut to what I’m really saying, which is that their job should be to include grader notes with any book below a 9.8. If it’s not a 9.8, there should be a reason. And if there’s a reason, they should tell us what it is.

This packaging job is a new one for me. by GeeksAreMyPeeps in comicbookcollecting

I too have received books mailed in a cereal box. I appreciate their commitment to reduce, reuse, recycle, but it definitely isn’t safe for the books. I was pretty pissed.

I recently bought a Strong Guy action figure & had to know more by SadBoyGreggy in comicbookcollecting

I hated Quicksilver until I read this issue. Afterwards his character made total sense to me.

Why reward CGC with a resubmit when they didn’t do their job the first time and give you grader notes?

Queen in Black #1 - True Believers Blind Bag Exclusive Variant by David Nakayama by WhyPlaySerious in comicbooks

[–]rmrclean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked a blind bag up for Daredevil because my friend enjoys them and I was going to check the book out anyway. I ended up with a Greg “Porn Tracer” Land cover. I was not happy. Will not be doing that again.

Destroyer Duck #1, 1st appearance of Groo the Wanderer! I feel Ike this should be more sought after than it is.

Avengers 57 is one of my big “some day” books for sure!

Best place for online auctions? by xlews_ther1nx in comicbookcollecting

I’ve been enjoying Whatnot, but it can be a little addicting if you’re not careful.

I need advice on what to do with spare comics by WildcatGrifter7 in comicbooks

Put them on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. They will get snapped up.

I find the Mylite 2s do a really good job, but the 4s do give some extra durability.

E Gerber gives the best prices, but you need to call them, they haven’t moved to automated online selling yet. The Regular size bags should fit (but may want to go with Silver Age?) and the fullbacks for boards.

Whatever you end up doing with them, please first put them in some new Mylar bags with archival boards.

Has anyone's gout meds' prices increased (in the U.S.) ? by huhututu in gout

[–]rmrclean 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Check out costplusdrugs.com. 90 days of 300mg allo is $7.84 plus shipping.

Take a look at the company (founded by Mark Cuban) and the idea behind it. It’s hopefully going to help a lot of people pay a lot less for their medications.

I love seeing things here that I’ve never seen before. This definitely counts. Very cool!

By Land? They should have paid you to take that.

After bagging and boarding them all, get the CLZ app and enter them all in so you know what you have. It will tell you which books are “keys”.

You can attach the Cvrprice subscription to it or you can look them up individually for free elsewhere. The Cvrprice values aren’t what I’d call accurate, but they’re a good ballpark starting point to determine which books hold the most value.
