1/13/2018 Topic: Why are some title's values so grossly overvalued? quinnspuddinjoker	True, I also mostly skip the values of the graded values. Some are close but most of those are to far off. I believe site is trying to fix that also. I always use auction sites to see most accurate prices for raw or graded prices. Like Oxbladder always says the guides are just a snapshot of time in values, ever changing....well something like that.
1/14/2018 Topic: Page missing? quinnspuddinjoker	I might be wrong, just my opinion of grade. No matter what it is incomplete.
1/14/2018 Topic: Nobody sleeps (dot dot dot) quinnspuddinjoker	Sounds like lots of fun work. Hopefully we will be rewarded by some nice scans on your back issue thread Defiant1.
1/18/2018 Topic: Infinity Gauntlet in Comics and Marvel Movies quinnspuddinjoker	Enjoyed your blog. Also enjoyed reading the value stamp stories, learned a lot.
1/22/2018 Topic: ASM #10 CGC 7.5 quinnspuddinjoker	Nice book, I agree it is well worth the cost. Congrats.
1/23/2018 Topic: Lois Lane #70 guides value is way off quinnspuddinjoker	Superman’s girlfriend Lois Lane #70 value on guide is way off of what has been selling the past few years. Thanks for whoever checks and fixes.
1/23/2018 Topic: Lois Lane #70 guides value is way off quinnspuddinjoker	Also the guide has the cover price as $12.00 instead of .12 cents
1/28/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	Every year someone gets this up and running, what are your goals this year in collecting? Here’s mine. 1st goal is to replace all of my comic boxes with better new boxes. Some of the 60 boxes are beat up, some I have writing on them that have been crossed out numerous times, looking bad. 2nd goal is to replace comics bags and boards with Mylar and fullbacks like I’ve done the past 8 years, so I got the years before using Mylar to go thru. Most likely use halfsbacks to save space, fullbacks you can’t get as many in a box. 3rd goal is to reorganize my comics in boxes by putting them in alphabetical order. My organizing has been poor at times, just putting new buys in one box and not putting in the right boxes. This goal will be done by doing goal one and two. Obliviously this won’t be easy but it really needs to be done. 4th goal is to at least get a few of my original art I’ve bought framed. It sucks that they are stashed away in a closet and hardly look at them. 5th goal is upgrade a few books I have but not in grades I would like. One is Phantom #1, I got two copies but really would like a high grade of it, which I’m finding out is harder than I want it to be. But it is fun to try. Others to upgrade is Batman 155, Batman 232, and Batman 234, which a a lot easy to upgrade. 6th goal is to try to be more selective in what I buy. Really need to reduce the amount bought, more thinking quality of books bought than amount. 7th goal...pay the rent before buying comics each month!!! What are your goals this year? Would enjoy hearing from you! edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 1/28/2018 edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 1/28/2018
1/29/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	I enjoy seeing your goals. 5th goal is key to happiness in my household! Your goal of #3 is cool. My first thought is BATMAN 156, I love that cover! I’d bet a marvel Tomb of Dracula would have one but I’d doubt it would be a hero he is carrying. Your goal of using short boxes is smart. I moved too many times to know short boxes are so much easier to move and those helping will appreciate lighter boxes. Thanks for the advice of framing. I did plan to get UV glass. I got a Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy art by Timm I’ve had for ten years and a giclee print by Alex Ross called Joker’s Reckoning, also had for years that both need to be on my walls. Other art can wait but the two mentioned are first to frame. And you are completely right, push that goal to number one, just can’t to stop buying comics for awhile....gonna be hard!...congrats on the tech #400, I still need one. Wish I bought one years ago though.
1/29/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	World’s finest #180 is a carrying cover, right?
1/29/2018 Topic: head-rush/jokerbangedquinn back issues quinnspuddinjoker	lets see if this works. photo bucket is bad now.... a few books i got in the collection.... edited by jokerbangedquinn on 1/29/2018
1/29/2018 Topic: head-rush/jokerbangedquinn back issues quinnspuddinjoker	hope those scans work or others actually see them.. lets try a few more in the collection. A wide range of books to look at. ha, when i was a kid I watched this cartoon and even had a wrist watch of it... edited by jokerbangedquinn on 1/29/2018

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 Ya, Tomb of Dracula I didn’t think they would be anyone we knew being carried. But hey close but no cigar. I’ll find my scan of the Timm artwork, it was in one of his sketchbooks too, pretty cool. I got another Timm that is framed of Batgirl, luckily it was framed when I bought it. I’m sure you got Uncanny X-Men #136, and #167, annual #6 all “carrying covers”? I’m sure there a a bunch of Action Comics or Superman covers with Superman carrying Lois are out there. Looking forward with the blog covering your finds! edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 1/30/2018

Ox three years ago or so I was doing the same thing with paying off my three statues from them. Payment plans make it easy to jump in and buy from Sideshow. Hurts for awhile but man I’m so happy I bought mine and last year found space to display. Is Savage Tales hard to find in Canada?
1/30/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	Kitdog good to hear from you. Only 15 or less to complete your Spawn collection is pretty cool. I only have the Max Punisher series by Ennis, fun reading, love Barracuda, got that mini too. Not knowing much about Lady Death, doesn’t it have a bunch of hard to find variants or really low print runs? That would drive me crazy if trying to complete that.
2/2/2018 Topic: head-rush/jokerbangedquinn back issues quinnspuddinjoker	Ronbatman wrote: 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 The Funky Phantom book when I bought was the highest on census, got it for $40. Funky cool! The Conan scanned late at night after a few beverages it looks like.
2/2/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	Your #6 is what I’m doing. I use photobucket but haven’t uploaded for a few years. Others have had problems, don’t understand why I haven’t had problems, strange. I’m with you gilgaandra, I enjoyed Robbie’s collection and all of his wisdom he shared. Bounty missed, really cool person. And unknown(Mitz) I thought he got robbed of his collection, and just stopped coming around. Wasn’t mitz into 10c books? Hey is it Summer weather for you this time of year?
2/2/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	Ok, I’ll bite on the non comic goals. #1 Quit smoking. Smoked 10 packs a week, now 1 pack a week. Nasty habit, been smoking over 35 years. Live a more healthier life style. #2. Get my telescope out at least once a month with my dad. Great bonding time with dad. He is 80, time/life is going by to fast. Fun deep thinking conversations while looking for objects #3 buy more 4K Blu-ray’s...I’m hooked. #4 don’t talk politics. #5 save enough money to send my daughter a few months of her mortgage payments or car payments. Hey strange, I thought I was signed but posted as a guest....SOO THOSE ARE MY NON GOALS ABOVE.
2/3/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	Hey it’s tax time, the money I get back I can get some of my artwork framed!
2/3/2018 Topic: 2018 comic goals for members quinnspuddinjoker	I’m so glad I’m not a completionist type of guy, it would use up too much time in my head and money. But since you bring up garbage pail kids cards, I can really understand completing that. Marvel X-Men cards and Spider-Man cards from the nineties I tried to complete all sets for my daughter. I was buying many boxes searching for chase cards and at the time comic stores near me had a lot of chase cards I needed. Buying boxes I ended up with extra basic sets(minus some chase cards) so I had sets for my daughter, her cousins and me too. I really enjoyed opening packs with her and organizing them in the folders we bought to store them. Some cards of course explained when someone fought against a villain and what comic issue. So if my daughter was interested we’d hit the LCS and look for the back issues the cards listed. Enjoy completing your set kitdog! Darn it, my post was as a guest again....
