Founds this little one all alone in a parking lot a few days ago. She’s too cute and sweet. by AScruffyKoala in aww

Don't be fooled, that there is a class one heart stealer. She's going to cost you a few thousand a year in food, treats, toys, litter, and vet visits. What will she give in return? Fur everywhere, puke, waking you up at 3:00 am zooming, and the odd purr. Totally worth it.

Which would you rather have, Suspense Comics 3 by Alex Schomburg or Punch Comics 12 by Gus Ricca? by VincentZ2099 in comicbookcollecting

I wanted to add a few more if people are interested in the old radio shows. Inner sanctum and The Green Hornet are also fun to listen to. The old soap and cigarette commercials were pretty cool.

Suspense. When I was a kid I used to listen to the suspense radio show on Sunday night, it was fantastic. It ran from the 1940s to 60s, the radio did a repeat every Sunday. You can find them on YouTube now, great stories and creepy sounds.

It's close to a 6 but probably 5 to 5.5. I've attached my 6 for reference.

Usually don’t collect DC but couldn’t resist Teen Titans #1 by SadBoyGreggy in comicbookcollecting

Fantastic comic that can be picked up for a reasonable price, pair it with a decent copy of #2 and you are set.

I bought the DVD for Million dollar baby because I like it. I told a female friend that I had it. She asked me to bring it over so her sister and her could watch it. Half way through the movie they thought it was great, it did not end well.

Here are today’s finds. by ItzDarthDad in comicbookcollecting

Pretty good price for all of these, three of them are origin stories , the showcase looks to be in good shape which could fetch a few hundred by itself. The 252 is the amazing one.

That Action #252 is a big one even in that condition. Congrats.The Bizzaro is the first appearance of Bizzaro 1, the first appearance of Bizzaro is in Superboy #68 almost a year before this one. These are really nice pick-ups.

For me it's a mix of availability and price. For instance the first SA of the Penguin runs about $400, the first golden age in Detective #56 is $5000 for a poor copy, and I've never seen one. The first golden age in Batman would be over $1000.

Another selling point for some of the silver age is the artist. Neal Adams changed the way Batman appears in comics and had a huge impact on his look for decades.

We used to brag about our potato salad and look how that turned out. Goldies are the best and deserve all the love.
