I've been around. I tried to check in at the old forums a few times over the past 6 months or so to see if they had come back. I had tried the forums link on here, as well, but it was not up yet, I suppose. I was a bit surprised when it worked the other day. Glad to see the boards are back. Yeah i've been a little quite myself. No backs issues to mention for months now. Just new stuff! (what the wallet can afford Lol). Been helping out Tex over at his blog with some new book reviews although i haven't done one of them in a while either...Need to get back on the band wagon! Hey. It's you guys I've haven't been doing much either. Last LCS trip I got only one funny book Look at that spine roll. The tears are small, no marks, no tape, no missing pieces, nice colors. I'd call it a solid 3.0... Wanna see the front? 1st Vulture; soon to be played by Michael Keaton. Neat huh? A nice looking lower grade.

Nice pick up Robbie ASM #2 wow (spine roll or not that's awesome). Thanks. Geez, this forum is slow and crashes a lot... Early Spidey has bunches of keys. Ditko & JR just liked creating new bad guys.

But is really slow for me also, (gremlins in the system maybe). Makes it difficult to look about & post. Took me multiple tries to post this After 6 or so "Can't reach this page" messages, I'm done for the day.
7/29/2016 Topic: Issues selling too cheap online. Robbie	In the example above, people aren't buying the "comic", they are buying the plastic case. Right? That's where most the value is... But that's new comics. There's always been collectors working on new series. Problem is; they don't stay new for long. Lots of competition in that space. Once a comic is old, it stays that way.
7/29/2016 Topic: DOG'S COMIC HOUSE Robbie	10 cent Supergirl. Swell pickup Nice Marvel finds, I'd buy those semi-keys all day at those prices.
7/29/2016 Topic: Pence vs. Cents Robbie	Most of my pence issues I also have a US version. US is the "real" one, UK is the "variant" cover with a much smaller print run. Printed at the same time with the same inner pages. I think variant covers are neat, but I don't want to pay crazy prices.
7/29/2016 Topic: robotcat's something or other Robbie	Those 80s indy horror comics are great reads. Someday they'll be rediscovered and shoot up in value. non-code color comics. Complete stories in one issue. Xen. Tales has some wonderful art. edited by Robbie on 7/29/2016
7/29/2016 Topic: Future State of the Comic Market: Gold/Silver Age Robbie	I wonder how much more the key / non-spread will continue to grow? I think, some of the old forgotten comics will continue to stay flat. Any gold or silver that gets worldwide attention could see a spike.
12/31/2016 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	Hey Defiant, nice early EC books. Land of the Lost is an okay read; much better than the radio show it's based on.
12/31/2016 Topic: Where have all the peoples gone... Robbie	I was able to make 2 posts without a crash today. The old forum was better, this one is slow and burdensome.
1/1/2017 Topic: Where have all the peoples gone... Robbie	Login getting cleared is a security thing. Doing your browers setings wrong can do that. But in this case, I'd suspect the site was misbehaving.
1/1/2017 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	That is a sweet group of the key Silver Marvels. That's pretty.

I bought Valiant comics in the 90's around the time they came out and traded my duplicates. The dealer who did the trade made money too. edited by Defiant1 on 1/2/2017 Well played, sir That would make it hard to pay today's prices for later issues. Nobody wants a 1st Punisher for more than they paid for 1st Spidey.
1/3/2017 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	Hey, the silly forum let me post on the 1st try. Nice.
1/3/2017 Topic: A List of Features We'd Like to See at CPG... Robbie	Hi netstuffers, Since you asked... assuming you want the forum portion to grow... Let "flag" (or whatever) other users when we post, and let us see a list of posts we've been flagged to.

1/4/2017 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	Defiant1 wrote: Exactly! When I see Hulk #181 going for large sums, I just remember paying cover price. There is not a lot of incentive for me to buy 70's & up comics at expensive prices now when I've been passing them over this long at a much lower price. I'm more interested in rarities or things I've never seen before. There are plenty of rarities; they make having a wantlist or complete set pretty confusing.
1/6/2017 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	oh geez... had no idea I'd missed that many new Ditko books. The several I'd read were pretty interesting.
