Odds and Ends

I ordered 3d printer nozzles on Amazon Thursday…said it would arrive Saturday.

Son asks me to check on tracking Friday night…had a USPS tracking number and had left New Jersey facility.

Figured it wasn’t going to arrive Saturday…checked this morning and now the history is gone, the tracking number is UPS, and Amazon says “they’re sorry, delivery is now estimated to be January 30th.”

Input the tracking number in the UPS website and comes back with errors.

WTH??

A shout out to everyone on this forum. My January sales have been really strong. One of my best months ever. There’s no possible way for me to know all of the hot books flying around, so thank you all for sharing your knowledge!

Had a crappy day so I have spent the evening watching Japanese comedy shows.

CGC sent an email today about a new specialty label themed for Marvel you can add to your slabs. It features the Punisher, skull-shirt, and all. I thought Marvel was trying to have Frank Castle be mostly forgotten lately due to various political/sociocultural stuff, so this is an interesting development.

I like Punisher stories. Maybe the Punisher embargo will be lifted.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of great stories with him. I feel like it would be easy for Marvel to just ignore any outside stuff and give us some quality stories. Just put Ennis on a series again and let him run wild.

I remember seeing BCW had something similiar… found it:

Great idea!!!
But what I’m really waiting for is the stainless steel protector that protects these zoloslab/bcw protectors, that protects the CGC case, that protects the comic.
So y’now… the 3rd level of case protection.
That’s what we all really need.
We also all need a migraine.
And we all need a hole in our heads
And finally, we need this (2nd time today using this GIF)

This all screams… stop buying the slab and buy the book…

And the only CGC slabs you’d hang like that in the picture are the ones you’re offloading at a loss, modern crap slabs… not a Werewolf By Night #32 for people to sort through… Geez!

Yes! The slab market is dying. The slab whales out there haven’t experienced the fullness of the drop off yet because they have hooked regular customers. None of normies are killing it with slabs. It’s over.

Slabbing is evil. And it’s dying. It’s over. I hope most will support this message…

I support 100% (after I quickly sell off my slabs :slight_smile: )

It’s like buying action figures off the pegs!

Yeah, it’s freaking ridiculous. Only a matter of time before that plastic shears through and the slab hits the floor and cracks…
