How do you go from this to a real part of you don’t own a printer?

Yes. I don’t collect slabbed books that are that old that yellow pages are the only option.

Agree entirely.

Detested Kingdom Come to those that are suggesting that as an alternative. Totally flat story with very pretty art.

I would like to know more about when they were young. My dad especially had a very hard childhood that he hid from us until very late in his life.

Not spending more time talking with my parents. Both are now gone.

For anyone interested, here's one currently available for under $300 https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m54816385489/?srsltid=AfmBOorbzKdKEO-28zUOqhok9S-TqzvwTmNUVBJFyHzmW-0lsl5i2tElJQQ. I have no connection to the seller.

Save the outer cover separately as they won't grade/slab that. It will just be the bare book. If you ever sell, it would be good to be able to offer that in a set.

I see them listed this high all the time but never see a sale. I bought a 9.4 cgc for under $400 this year. There was a 9.2 that went for around $250. I see the same with the B&W series and Primer #2. Listed high all the time but sales much lower/more reasonable.

With all that said, I collect Grendel and Matt's work. I would love to be able to say I ran across one of these in the wild for $200. That's a phenomenal find.

It’s a scam. Both are dead. Neither lived in countries where dollars would be of any use.

Batman-Grendel HC usually goes for around $1000-1500 (no, I didn’t pay that much).

After that, I have one of the Grendel Devil by the Deed Masters Edition (limited to 12 copies) that were $500 but contain one off original artwork. I have no idea what the market price for those books is now but the 12 copies sold out immediately.

Absolutely no idea. I moved on.

Yes. Do you have a specific question?

Stewart Copeland (drummer with The Police).

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Order placed. And now the wait begins (hopefully not as long as the last time I bought a suppressor).

Bendis. Not even close.

For me, Powers, Alias and Ultimate Spider-man. His run on Daredevil was outstanding too.

Because you’re not dumb?

Look about the same to me but I haven’t shot both. My Springer came in at $85.

Do you have a link?

I got one of the plates but don't use it as I switched everything to the larger capacity mags so not an issue. However it's dressed, it's fun to shoot.

Very similar to mine but I added a large magwell from Floyd Custom Shop to the large/aggressive grip module. I also went with the springer compensator over patriots but I’d really like to see a side-by-side comparison.

I stand corrected. From SA website “WARNING: Caliber of barrel is intended only for use in the original caliber of the firearm. You cannot change the caliber of your firearm by purchasing one of these barrels.”

Keep an eye on eBay. Barrels appear on occasion at $100. I didn’t change the spring and had no issue. You would need to replace mags.

The first track I always play on any new system (car, portable,stereo, whatever I’ve had) has always been Meatloaf’s “Bat out of Hell”. That seems most appropriate but my wife likely won’t go for it.

Well, I originally posted that I have some Roman coins from the first or second century. But then, as others have posted, I was reminded that I have some fossils that are older than that.
