I’m a pretty big Matthew fan and I must say, subdued Matthew is pretty awesome to listen to.
Thanks… I think? :)
It is definitely a compliment. Unless you are freaked out by the realization that you have actual fans….
that is something I can’t help you with.
It is a little bit surprising, yes, but I appreciate the heck out of all the Faithful Spoilerites. If not for you guys, I’d just be another weird guy having half a conversation in the back of a comic store…
When I first heard Matthew in this, I’m like okay who’s with Stephen until he gets back from the bathroom?
Yeah, it’s weird how I sound here. I don’t know if that’s my normal speaking voice, or if the lack of oxygen had me operating on auxiliary battery power or something. :)
Wife claims that this episode showcases my “authoritative voice”, as heard in call centers across the midwest as I try to teach people junk…
I am well practiced in the art of call center voice as well.
As I re-listen, and you discuss restoration, I have a question…Are there any instances of collectors taking incomplete, high value issues, and combining them into a complete issue?
The Brave and the Bold issue you illustrated, got me thinking, what if there was another incomplete issue, but containing the missing components so that a complete issue could be compiled, then selling/slabbing remainder as an incomplete issue? Would the restored issue, made of component parts be more valued than the two separate component parts?
I listened to this live from nerdtacular and loved it! although there is one thing as a non american that I have been pondering.
I have no idea if this is the place for questions but i’ll try anyway, I haven’t been able to find information about this anywhere.
I was in my local comic book store today. and many of the comics (from the mid 70’s to about 95), being sold in Denmark, have a danish price stamp, from the printer instead of the usual american price stamp. How does this affect value? does it go waaaaaay down in grade? or is it just not a collectible?
