1/26/2018 Topic: Thoughts on the new Mister Miracle? Ronbatman Administrator	Mister Miracle is definitely worth reading. You never really know if he is trying to escape a trap or if it's his life. The opening scene for issue one is shocking and the relationship between he and Barda is well developed. It should be noted that it is a mature title because Barda and Scott are a couple. (if you know what I mean)
1/26/2018 Topic: Display Case Ronbatman Administrator	Love your Amazing Spidey Collection RixMaxx. Very nice
1/28/2018 Topic: Trouble Finding Batman: Ronbatman Administrator	I think I can help... Search for Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, click on the 1989 to 2007 series. Just above the first issue you will see 3 boxes - Monthly, Annual, and Specials. If you click on Specials you will find those books. They were a part of the Legends of the Dark Knight series. Ron
1/29/2018 Topic: Question on Golden Age Book Ronbatman Administrator	comfan wrote: I have a Yellow jacket comics #7 printed in January 1946. It has only one staple in the middle of the book with holes or other signs of any other staples. My questions is this a defect or something common of age an if a defect how bad of one? Clarification - Did you mean, "no holes or other signs of any other staples"?
1/29/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members Ronbatman Administrator	Can I comment on your goals before sharing mine? About your 4th goal - A few years ago, I had 4 pieces of original art framed when Michael's had a 1/2 off framing sale. I put them under UV glass to protect them. That was one of the best things I've ever done with my collection. Comic book people are visual people so getting to see my favorite pieces made me happy. Plus it easier for non-comic book lovers to appreciate my passion for the hobby. The typical response is something like, "That's amazing". I would move that goal up the list. My goals 1. Continue moving my comics from long boxes to short boxes. Easier to handle and organize. 2. Continue working on my Neal Adams collection. I have all Neal Adams' drawn Batman, need 11 Detectives, 4 Justice Leagues. The Adams' House of Mystery and House of Secrets books are so hard to find in VF and above. Since Neal did mostly DC, the Avengers and X-men books are usually very expensive. Patience Ron patience. 3. This is a bit weird. A few months ago I became obsessed with finding a certain cover. The cover is super common but I didn't realize it until recently. It shows one hero carrying another hero. (Crisis on Infinite Earths 7, Avengers 49, etc) I call it the carrying cover and so far I have bought 31 examples of it. So if you see one let me know. Since I'm the writer for the CPG blog you'll hear about it eventually. 4. Buy some key books that I really like. On the list, Captain America 110, Conan the Barbarian 1, Amazing Spider-man 50, Invincible 1, House of Secrets 92, bought Detective 400 last week! Yay! 5. Don't let my wife know how much I spend on comics. #lifegoals
1/29/2018 Topic: Do I have a test copy or variant cover.not modern Ronbatman Administrator	A picture would help but I don't think they made any variants of that book. If the colors are significantly different it could be a printing error. More common in the 70's than now. Here is a link to a cgc post about it. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/413764-sun-fade-or-printing-error/
1/29/2018 Topic: Going from collector to investor Ronbatman Administrator	If you're only looking to invest, then I would change rarity for desirability. The first appearance of Deadpool isn't rare but it's very desirable. Just a thought
1/29/2018 Topic: Cannot Remove/Delete Ronbatman Administrator	Dylman, I just deleted it and there is no penalty.
1/30/2018 Topic: Question on Golden Age Book Ronbatman Administrator	That would be a production error if there are no other holes in the book. If you were getting it graded by CGC you might request a "qualified" grade. I've seen that before in older books but it's not what I would consider common. I hope that helps. Ron
1/30/2018 Topic: head-rush/jokerbangedquinn back issues Ronbatman Administrator	I like the mix of books, serious collector issues like Fantastic Four 48, Wolverine 1, and then the Funky Phantom. Based on what kids read at the time, the Funky Phantom is probably really difficult to find in that condition. Have you checked the census on that? That Conan picture is fuzzy maybe you should consider selling it. (to me) Looks like you added a great lot of books to your collection. Congrats
1/30/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members Ronbatman Administrator	Batman 156 is one of the first carrying covers. I'm missing that one but not for long. I've been bidding on copies of that issue for a month now. soon. Its funny Tomb of Dracula has SEVEN carrying covers. They seem like victims instead of heroes though. Harley and Poison Ivy by Timm? Dude, that needs to be displayed! Joker's Reckoning has that crazy angle that makes you stare at it. Very cool
1/30/2018 Topic: New to Grading - stuck on this issue Hansi Ronbatman Administrator	First of all, the subject matter. Wow, that is a creepy cover. It looks like the fold at the bottom breaks color on the girl's dress. The upper left corner is missing or folded. The lower right corner is rounded. The ink on the price. The ink and the color breaking fold are the big issues in an otherwise beautiful copy. A 7.5 can have a color break fold but then there's the ink. My best guess is 6.5 to 5.5.

1/31/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members Ronbatman Administrator	Kitdog, 15 missing issue from a set of 280+ is impressive. I always get excited when I add a book that connects a run. Do you collect everything with Spawn or just the regular title? Does it seem ironic to anyone that Kitdog has some holes in his Punisher collection? Wherever Punisher is there should be holes. I'm missing 7 issues of Batman from issue 191(May 1967) to today. Missing issues are taunts to a completist.

2/2/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members Ronbatman Administrator	When you get down to just a few issues missing of a title do you get excited because it's so close or worried because they are the hard to find issues?
2/4/2018 Topic: Best Superbowl commercial Ronbatman Administrator	The Superbowl is getting ready to start but let's focus on the important stuff...commercials. What is your favorite commercial?
2/4/2018 Topic: Best Superbowl commercial Ronbatman Administrator	The Tide set of commercials was fun and Eli/Beckham dirty dancing ad was hilarious.
2/5/2018 Topic: SOME SMALL GLITCHES WITH THE NEW CPG.COM Ronbatman Administrator	When you open your collection and it's divided into publishers there should be an X to the left of each publisher. If you click that, it will delete all. Adding books works fine, so no concern there. Ron
