Yeah. My stomach is starting to turn while I wait on mine, as well. Well, maybe you both have all the DC comics that were $5 books. Wow, I hope the Easter Bunny drops by soon so I can have him pass along my early Christmas list to Santa when they meet at the holiday character jamboree.

No kidding. Isn't this the second time comicseekers would potentially go on the list if not resolved?

Maybe all the hot DC issues went in your box.

Interesting!

Totally agree that this issue is important, though Miller did not take over writing control until issue 168, which makes it double-key since this was also the 1st Elektra appearance. That is THE KEY book of the entire run because this is when Miller took the character down a darker path than seen before. Not sure why CGC doesn't note that on the label. 158-161: Roger Mckenzie (writer), Frank Miller (penciller) 162: Michael Fleisher (writer), Steve Ditko (penciller) 163-164: Roger Mckenzie (writer), Frank Miller (penciller) 165-166: Roger Mckenzie & Frank Miller (writers), Frank Miller (penciller) 167: David Michelinie (writer), Frank Miller (penciller) 168: Frank Miller (writer), Frank Miller & Klaus Janson (pencillers)

I know, but you would think sellers would be aware how fast board members jump on these situations and totally avoid trying this. But then again, I'm thinking like a reasonable human being, which when figuring out these situations that goes out the window.

This is getting pretty pitiful lately with all these little scams. And this one sounds like you cannot even call it an honest mistake of someone not going through the boxes and turning it around as a flip for quick cash.

Sergio, I don't know you, but after reading this note I would stop taking a defensive posture, apologize, and start sending out refunds. Not going through the boxes in-detail was a big mistake when later on you were posting descriptions and stating no water damage or books with counts over 5 copies. Just leave it at that.

Sounds about right after reading all the posts.

fixed those for you. (thumbs u

Sounds like the logic someone tried to use with the CAP FREAK situation. I think money spent has nothing to do with being allowed to raise concerns.

Hey Adonis you forgot to mention that yours is DOUBLE SKETCHED too. Grrrr! Come on TJ. It helps promote the characters when OTHERS can also have valuable Goon books. Smile! Come on now - BIG SMILE!

I always thought so as well. Marvel's creative team was definitely having a lot of fun closing out that series.

Ooops, had this in the "Just back from CGC" thread by mistake. Although an oddball character, these two issues are hard to come by and especially nice to have since #18 ties in with Uncanny X-Men 140 and #19 is the 1st Jack O'Lantern (Hobgoblin II). #19 only has two 9.6 copies in the census, which made this sweeter. The second copy belongs to someone on the board, so at least we kept it in the forum family.

Is the case cracked or something else wrong with it, as if it is fine the way it is, I'd leave it alone. The more folks you have handling a book, the greater the chance something can happen. Everyone recognizes this book as his 1st full appearance. I wouldn't kill myself over needing the updated label to state this. Know what I mean?

My favorite Goon character. Man, can Buzzard blow some holes in zombies or what?

Does the cover look like this one, or is it the Dark Horse #1?

Any comment included in that post about the CGC process? I said Plitch wears army boots. Does that count? That did it. Time to start the smooching healing process.

Way to go Steve!

This is an incredible thread, but it also shows how little I really know about protecting my books for the long-term. Thanks to all who have spent countless hours researching paper conservation/preservation and the effect of pressing on a comic's long-term condition. Would someone be able to summarize the current recommendations for CGCd books versus raw? I know the real intent of the thread was to study the pressing concerns, but it would be a shame not to reinforce the message of proper conservation/preservation techniques for those new to this thread. I never thought of buying archive paper for my collection, but always went with traditional bags/boards and periodic changeout every few years. Is there a separate thread that contains recommendations already? If there is, so sorry to hijack this fantastic thread.

J moving in for the kill.
