Kids, if your teachers start teaching the bible, just start referring to the people in the bible as characters (either written or spoken word in class). “Well, in the book, the Jesus character…” Or start calling out abandoned narrative plots, spotty writing, inconsistent morality, etc

Today’s Mail Call is a Christmas Gift to myself (one of two) because I’m allowed to be happy for the sake of happiness itself: the April 1973 issue of CREEM featuring Marvel!

Mark my words. This will either become a subject of massive controversy or it’ll be canceled. Is that what I personally want? No. But the way things are going, you watch.

@pokemontcgpocket.bsky.social tell me, how come in the Pokemon card game, EX’s are so plentiful they’re almost a common but in your app I’ve been missing 4 of them FOREVER in Shining Revelry & only JUST NOW got 2 of the 4? Because I refuse to open new packs until the previous main set is completed.

There are NINE cards in this set I would readily add to my Kanto Pokédex binder. Will I pull even ONE of them? Watch both parts and find out! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MewPpp/

New video! @deeppocketmonster.bsky.social had a TCG Stadium discount recently so I used it to nab a booster of my much anticipated set (that I assumed I’d NEVER get a chance at in ANY language) GLORY OF TEAM ROCKET! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MecYWs/

Having now read this issue, it serves nicely as a standalone story. I like when ongoings take a timeout for semi one-shot storytelling to bring a character’s history into perspective with the current narrative & give us some personality (not that Gambit, of all people, needs more personality).

I’m considering selling a lot of my stuff. Master Sets of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet base set, Pokemon Go, and Celebrations. Selling all of my Symbiote Funkos. Selling some figures, selling some comics, selling some trades. Anyone have any advice on how to do this right for fair profit?

Not so different from any other average enjoyable evening. But so long as the day is enjoyable, I suppose it’s all about as good as can be. There will be no cèilidh this year but shamrocks and bourbon aplenty will be dedicated to those partaking this evening!

Today is Saint Patrick’s Day. This year I celebrate the actual day of at home alone, surrounded by various decor I’ve devoted to my favorite holiday. Shortly, I’ll grab a whiskey glass from my freezer, fill it with one of my preferred bourbons, light a preroll, & soak in the evening air on my patio.

And the big one. At $5 each, I found ALL. FOUR. ISSUES. of JLA/Avengers with George Perez! It’s obviously not a jackpot scenario. But it’s a damn surprising one at $5 a pop!

Then I suddenly saw the first issue of Harley Quinn’s first solo series! (Not her first appearance but still significant.) Only $5!

Chad Bokelman @thenerdfonz.bsky.social · 16/03/2025
Now the lucky finds! A second printing of The Dark Knight Returns issue 1! Obviously not as valuable as a first printing but at $12 it was worth more than I paid!

Much the same way any Ragman fan who sees Trinity issues, grabs issues 23 & 31 because Ragman is in them! (Especially when you don’t actually have them in your collection yet)

Chad Bokelman @thenerdfonz.bsky.social · 16/03/2025
Wasn’t familiar with this one, but when a @lanterncast.bsky.social co-host sees Hal in such a prominent position on the cover, you grab it. Plus Power Company is returning anyways so good timing!

In this same store were a bunch of random sealed trading card packs. We’re talking like Mork & Mindy, Barbie, Rugrats, Sesame Street, Incredible Hulk, DC Cosmic, etc. But I nabbed Spider-Man & some Bill & Ted!

Dicking around on Main Street in Buda, TX after breakfast this morning, I took to browsing the two antique stores in the vicinity & found a few comics! Starting with a random issue of Darkstars I needed (don’t worry the REALLY lucky finds are later in the thread)!

On the off chance you’re ever in a conversation with a purported comic book fan and they say something like, “Ok Ragman for example? Who cares about characters like that?” Show them this picture of a Ragman fan who had a ‘Cry of the Dead’ miniseries ad cut from a comic and custom matted in a frame.

I’ve been purposefully avoiding Target because of the boycott, but I was after a new Lego set. I figure only going when every other option is exhausted is still effective enough. But I caught a Lego restock & nabbed the Creator Record player! (& a switch game on sale for $30)

Darted across the street to Walgreens to browse and saw an “older” Lego mini figure set! Used the Minifig Scan app to find what I wanted!

Chad Bokelman @thenerdfonz.bsky.social · 07/03/2025
Then I hit up Walmart looking for some of the new Legos, and whatever else tickled my fancy. None of the new Legos but…I HAVE been meaning to get some Bruno Mars on vinyl! (And to re-up on my favorite smelling candle “backyard bonfire”)

Went for some much needed errands this morning! Workout first, breakfast second, haircut third. But then the shopping! Meandered over to GameStop where I unexpectedly found the chase Guy Gardner I’d been looking for!

Twenty Days Later …I finally amassed 400 pack points in @pokemontcgpocket.bsky.social as I was true to my word & ONLY opened Dialga packs searching for my son Shinx. It wasn’t to be, but with pack points, he is acquired!

QUESTION: If we can agree that pizza is good cold, can we also agree that Meatloaf (for some reason) is also just as good cold?

A lot of these reasons (& more I didn’t mention) have been around since the game began. But you’ve only asked for MORE money MORE frequently & made it MORE difficult to add to my Pokédex in a game that supposedly encourages “catching em all”. The balance of fun vs frustration has tipped unfavorably.

5) certain Pokemon only available in eggs and even then only very rare hatches. I’m sorry. I want to complete my Pokédex. That’s THE REASON (the only reason) I’m playing. Why do I still have only one Charcadet?

3) Region locking specific Pokemon was always a ridiculous thing. You’re known for “gotta catch em all” & I have to literally travel the planet to do it? I can’t even afford your pay to play constant events. 4) Remote raids nerfed. I get it. We’re supposed to “go” but not all of us have raid parties

On July 6th, 2016 @pokemongoapp.bsky.social released & I downloaded it the next day. I’ve been playing ever since. I’m considering quitting. Here’s why: 1) Nearly every event & community day is pay to play. 2) Shiny odds have been INCREDIBLY nerfed. (I’ve never SEEN a shiny Pidgey) (Continued)

I went to Market Days in Gruene, TX & actually found comics I needed in an antique store! While I already had Tales of the GLC #2, another doesn’t hurt, but I actually NEEDED #3! & I grabbed Blackhawk b/c the cover is sweet! I’m sure @onceuponageek.bsky.social will approve of my Firestorm addition.

Did you ever read “The Silver Coin” anthology? Sounds like a pitch for that series. And that’s a very good thing….

#MailCall for today is two Justice League of America issues #64 & #140! I was after #140 and #64 was just a bonus issue with the listing that had a cool cover. Side Note: #140 has the story that inspired the ‘In Blackest Night’ episodes from the early part of the Justice League animated series!

Both sides of the isle have been at varying degrees of WAR w/ each other for so long. I’m not a conspiracist by any means but yall do realize the POINT is to keep us fighting each other? The ENTIRE system is compromised & HAS been. We can’t fix it until we work together & NOBODY WANTS TO! Im tired.

Chad Bokelman @thenerdfonz.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
I realize that we can’t give up. That we need to fight or lose everything. But…is it ok to admit that I’m so tired of fighting guys? Whether it’s Trump, or Musk, or a certain Governor or whatever. It seems like we’re ALWAYS in danger. No matter who’s in power, there’s a fight. I’m so tired.
