I was just up in my parents loft. Covering one part are the pages from football sticker albums we got when I was a kid. collector values never entered our minds. If you don't enjoy them for what they are, what's the point? Agreed 100%, Thoth. If only a viewpoint similar to ours had prevailed during the early 90s. Instead, we got speculator-mania, with all those blasted tourists infesting the collector community.

Pa: Well, that's all of the birthday and christmas shopping done.
Ma: We did so well! Look at all the gifts!
Pa: Just think, in 30 years, he'll be able to sell them on, still wrapped, to someone else.
Ma: Perhaps...
Pa: Yes, I think we should just get our kid slabbed to protect his value too. After all, in 40 years we could sell him on to a couple willing to invest in his emotional life and his imagination!

Ah, but think of all the evil experiments the healthy, atomic Krypto-radiation saved him from over all those years. Just like Lex to get caught up on a single point, and let it take over his entire life.

Lex is indeed obsessive, just like another Warners IP, Wile E. Coyote.

Let's do it one better:
A Superman/Flash/Road Runner/Speedy Gonzales team-up!
(OTOH, the Road Runner/Speedy Gonzales vs Wile E. Coyote/Sylvester the Cat team-up cartoon short (IIRC, it was titled the "Wild Chase" set a bad precedent for such concepts. In a word, it sucked. And, really, with 20/20 hindsight, I think the Warner Bros cartoons peaked in quality near the end of the 1940s. There were still a few good ones in the early 50s, but as that decade went on, they got worse and worse, really no better than the much-maligned 60s cartoons.)

Maybe Lex ordered ACME Kryptonite by mistake.

If ACME really existed, it would fit right in with the lack of quality-control in modern-day manufacturing.

GLX sounds like the title they would give to a new Green Lantern reboot.

Thanks, Ibby.
The classic lineup of the Green Lantern Corps versus, say...the classic X-Men lineup from shortly after Kitty joined...

Steve Englehart's Green Lantern run is underrated and focused heavily on non-human GLs.
Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

Wasn't there a reanimated Green Lantern who did* go around saying >glx< and the like as he had partly decomposed. I think the ring was the only thing keeping him functioning.

I never knew you knew such obscure Green Lantern lore, Quis. I consider myself a GL fan, but I certainly wouldn't have been able to answer Thoth's question.
