This is something I find annoying as well. Trying to watch a movie or series at night…don’t want to wake up the kids but I can’t hear a damn word of dialogue.
I’m constantly cranking the sound up to hear what they’re saying…sometimes having to rewind…then Quickly turning it down when the explosions or battles start…
I watch everything with closed captions now. Partly because I’m just getting older/sensorineural hearing loss from my Military days, but also because of this same issue.
Yeah man, I can’t watch anything without subtitles anymore. Even if I can hear it clearly, I still prefer to have subtitles. Funny how you get accustomed to things.
I don’t typically follow the big auction houses and comic offerings all that much as, if I’m being honest, I can’t afford that stuff and it just makes me feel a bit jealous of those who can. I’m Only human after all!
Right now though, between the Comic Link and comic connect auctions there are some absolutely incredible books at market.
The recently discovered Bobby Blue collection, along with FanTASt collection has resulted in the availability of books that just aren’t typically seen. In grades that aren’t seen either.
I still don’t quite understand why either of these incredible collections couldn’t be given pedigrees, but I guess there must be a box that wasn’t checked.
Along with those two collection are what appears to be some other big players cashing in some crazy big ticket books. Perhaps to create funds to buy gems found within those 2 collections.
It actually is worth taking a look simply from a comic history perspective.
