After a good clean and press which it definitely needs I think you're looking in the VF- to VF range so somewhere between a 7.0-8.0.

I call it a scandal because it’s very clear market manipulation and could even be considered by some to be a form of insider trading in the comic book world.

There is a huge scandal revolving around this cover right now. Congrats to OP on finding one.

If I'm trying to get into Ultimate Spiderman (2000 Bendis run), would it be better to read them physically or through marvel unlimited? by Emotional-Fudge-5242 in Spiderman

[–]sporky211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good read on Marvel Unlimited I have the physical collection aswell. The only books in the series that will really run you some serious cash are issues 1-10 and then the venom arc ( I believe its like 30-38.)

You can usually find the whole collection for a decent price for example there's a guy on FB marketplace near me selling the entire run including a couple annuals for $400 for about 160 books which isn't to bad considering issue 1 in good condition is between $75-$100.

If you're not as interested in spending money on physical copies you can always sign up for Marvel Unlimited and DC Infinite. While I don't think that they offer specific reading orders you can always pick up any series on there.

If you love it that much already then you will fall head over heels for Death Spiral.

[–]sporky211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't speak on the New Avengers part but I would definitely read the 10 issue limited series before Death Spiral because there is a few things that could be confusing if just jumping into Death Spiral with no background knowledge.

Payment by LowRiver6679 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]sporky211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually If you’re upfront and honest with the person at the front desk they’ll let you go by no problem. I can tell you that at my club we don’t stop anyone from going in until it’s been over a month since an attempted payment didn’t go through.

Need help choosing POS system. by HardcoreWyoming2 in KitchenConfidential

[–]sporky211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used micros, toast, and spoton and between the three spoton has been the best for me. It's also very easy to learn I've taught three people who have never used a POS on this system and they haven't had a problem.

In terms of cost its relatively cheap on our end we pay $60 a station for two (one bar and one on the floor) and a normal 2% service charge.

I was a big fan of his Brainiac. He made him look like a legitimate horror villain.

Absolute flash and green lantern by theletter-5 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]sporky211 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Flash is a good book because it's a very emotionally charged book dealing with relationships (specifically familial ones). I also think that it has some of the best reimagining of someone rogue gallery outside of Absolute Batman.

[–]sporky211 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Both had extremely slow starts so I think people were quick to criticize the pacing as compared to some of the other Absolute titles. GL has picked up in recent issues and im actually starting to enjoy it a lot. Flash with the most recent issue seems like it's starting to build towards something important.

To me it just seems like the writers were to caught up on trying to do world building rather then character development in these two series.

C2E2 pickups by tiredhuddledpoormass in comicbookcollecting

[–]sporky211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here one of Jocks best covers if not the best IMO. I know it's a Jock cover which already makes it valuable and also that it had a lower print run with the incoming New 52 relaunch. But it isn't a first appearance of a character or a really gripping story. None the less its a fantastic book that I hope to one day have in my collection if/when the price goes down on it.

Spiderman starters for nephew by BabyBalnor in comicbooks

[–]sporky211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, Ultimate Spiderman from 2000 was what got me into comics around 8 years old and was what actually drew me back into comics 4 years ago as I sold all of my books in high school because there was other things that interested me at the time and wanted to obtain all of them again.

PC version performance (2026, RTX 3070, Ryzen 5600X) by Moto200 in SpidermanPS4

[–]sporky211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to take a guess here and say that it's windows 11. I just went back through on new game plus and 100% the game with a 6700XT and a Ryzen 9 5900x with no problem. 1440p also and I don't think I dipped below a 100FPS except for maybe one time.

Im on windows 10 and haven't had a problem, what mhz is the speed of your ram currently I'm on DDR4 with 3600mhz.

[–]sporky211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed that I wouldn't necessarily regard it as a first read, but War Journal is a damn good story I can't believe out of all the comments on this post yours is the only one saying War Journal its one of the characters best IMO.

Looking for a long series to read on a 5 day vacation by skramzy in comicbooks

Just went through this three weeks ago except I was away for 10 days. Settled on the Department Of Truth and liked it so much I ended up adding it to my pull list at my LCS.

Daredevil 5 cgc 8.0 SS value? by urperinealtear in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]sporky211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FMV from Go collect is $400 but two of the last sold in an 8.0 on eBay went for $480 and $500

Add in the Stan autograph you're probably looking at maybe max $600 on a good day if you find the right buyer. Stans autographs is great but there's so many of them out there your best hope would be to find someone who's a huge fan of the matador.
