Is the top left rating for the quality or the content of the story? Will you open them and read them or what? I would.
Yes the upper left is a score on the quality of the physical book, its a .5-10 scale.
I'll read digital versions of them or versions that are more beat up. We started our own collection and one for my son.

Standard Grading Scale
CGC grades comic books, magazines, concert posters and lobby cards using a highly accurate 10-point grading scale. Below are CGC’s grading standards for each numeric grade. For the similar 10-point scale used by CGC Trading Cards, click on Trading Cards above.

Are comics a bit like Bitcoin then? Where they make a limited amount for print and that's that? Then over time I guess they become more rare etc. I might just go to the store and buy a bunch of first episode comics and maybe one day they will get a cult following or something. I used to have a mortal Kombat comic when I was a kid. I also had that panzer dragoon game on Sega Saturn. I bet I've had a fair few rare games over the years. I used them all tho I was never collecting

I think it's caused by lack of athletic ability. When I have a busy day my feet hurt. And I guess my brain fucked me over and changed the way I walked that day because my work shoes rubbed through my sock then my skin. Now it's tough to get it happy again.

Yea kind of, that's my understanding. I personally am focusing on MCU related comics, late 80's early 90's X-Men that the cartoon was based off of, and modern ones.

You want to focus on 1st printing of 1st issues and also first full appearance of a character. The 3 X-Men ones are all first Jubilee and are worth about 200-300 a piece.

I remember seeing some random youtube video about the Death of Superman issue being released. Obviously it was heavily hyped and went mainstream, and there must have been a high profile sale of Action Comics #1 at around the same time, because the video had all this footage of all those idiots at the comic book store saying "I'm gonna buy 10 copies of this and put them in a ziplock bag, and 50 years from now they'll be worth a fortune!"

Yeah........... that's not how it works, I'm sorry. :smile:

Not a fortune but still worth more than the few bucks they were when they came out. Almost 8k on 50 of them isn't terrible.

I mean the other way around. So pedalboard to amp rather than guitar to pedalboard. I'd like to delete the cable from my pedalboard to my amp.
I'm very stoned atm, but I think to do it you'd need two of em. And I'm not sure how the signal might be affected.
For now I have a cable running from my board to the amp.

I recently acquired this enail, and it's another absolute winner of a purchase.
The nail has been running around 625°, and it's almost too easy. This is a gem that sips current, so I leave it on most of the day.

... also, you have to be careful as it's very sneaky and hard to see because of the camo. It'll sneak up on ya
