General Zod

I was told I did submit it during a "very tight grading" period, so I will get it out later today and look it over again. I have a back scan and it also looks great. (I need to re-scan it so the picture doesn't cut off the bottom edge.) So yes, I am definitely thinking about re-subbing.

Up until very recently I didn't remember the shape of my copy and had thought it to be low grade. After pulling it out to eye-ball, it seems like this could be a really nice looking mid-grade.

Here's my copy. I feel it's got tons of eye appeal and frankly, I thought it was undergraded in 2008. Might re-submit some day after the hundreds of other books I'd like to get graded.

That sucks. On the bright side now you have more time to focus on selling comics on consignment. Isn't it illegal to fire someone because of a learning disability? Just sayin. Sounds like a lawsuit if you ask me. There's your chance to make more than minimum wage I guess... well I didn't tell her I had a learning disability because I was afraid that I wouldn't get hired ironic huh? You should be up front with that from now on in interviews. If they refuse to hire you based on that, contact the ADA.

If the publishing world had a Hall of Shame like we do, Rob L. would be on the list in bold and screaming bright colors.

Anyone use the HP scanjet 3500c? I'm trying to figure out how to clean the underside of the glass pane. It doesn't seem like I can just lift it out to wash the streaks off. It really shows up on some of my heavy dark colored cover scans, like this one:

This book is underrated as one of the best runs for a team. I'm still trying to track down all the trades collecting the various offshoots as I don't think I caught them all at the stores. Booster Gold and Blue Beetle were a great duo too! Some people may have been turned off by some of the buffoonery and squabbling going on but to me it only added to the charm of the characters. I liked J'onn's addiction to Oreos (later changed to "chocos")

From the Probation thread: so so true... What I am most thrown off by is his adamant belief that he won't ever be banned. Is he in some way related to one of the mods? He has avery flippant attitude towards his behavior like he has some kind of "get-out-of-jail-free" card. He probably thinks he's exempt because Steve Borock kind of endorsed him in a "yer my boy, Blue!" way and for the whole Secret Santa thing. What puzzles me is that he knows we're all in a community that protects our own from misdeeds.

That's pretty much it, Cloudy. Good work.

Same here. I'm kind of treating #6 as the completion to a trade reprint so I can sit down and read it all in one shot instead of waiting a few months for the next installment. This book (well, the next season anyway) should do much better once it gets on a regular schedule.

Ebay has been taking a nosedive for the last 6 months. They've been trying big time in the last 3 months to get me to make my first sales auction. I think the "death by one thousand cuts" mistakes are certainly catching up with them, regardless of economy woes.

I do hope the publisher issues have been ironed out so David can crank these out a little more regularly. I do know he just had a board game based on this come out not long ago.

I had a guy send me a raw book through Priority Mail (envelope). The USPS marking on it was for $.65 which made me look twice until I saw that the seller had affixed a stamp for $4.95 next to it. And he had it sent with delivery confirmation, book was double sided with cardboard and quite secure. He charged me all of $5.00 for S/H. I felt bad a little.

Kudos to Ivegotneatstuff for a G.I. Joe slab (bought before this subforum mess happened) that arrived in great condition!

Pretty easy (and cheap) to pick up a second/third printing if you want a reader and are skipping the trade reprints.

I'm still not seeing a lot of slabbed 21s around the market, though. That "lot" was mostly '09 purchases.

Those are all this year's prices off eBay auctions. That $202.50 was the highest I've seen yet for the 9.4 (which came right after the Super Bowl trailer). I think I've seen the 9.6 at higher, though, but not by a whole lot. He wasn't the brightest trying to corner the market.

Hell, flipping the 9.4s from last year would make pretty good money. The 9.6 hasn't really climbed as much as the 9.4s did, though.

One who's looking to lose money on the deal as the bids are still several hundred dollars short as of tonight. He was better off breaking them up.

Yeah, like that one would be flying under the radar the whole time...

Yeah, I'm not liking it much as a buyer. I buy from multiple ages and I have to click on this area and that area to go look? Honestly, the main forum was far far better for me to do one-stop shopping despite the multiple threads by some solo sellers. Splintering the sales forum isn't doing it for me. I'd rather there be board software limits imposed on the sellers (one official selling thread at a time with an option to lock the thread upon it being closed and perhaps a form to fill out when selling for the first time with a check box next to each of the guidelines to acknowledge the rules).

Brian, I'm really glad this ended up being a positive after all the stuff you were going through in the past!

Please try not to overgeneralize, guys. There are good sellers and good buyers. If there's something bothering you, point it out in a less vague way. A few weeks ago I asked a new seller for references. But I've seen a bunch in the past couple of weeks that I decided to let other people ask instead. I don't really want the reputation of being the first to ask every single new/unknown seller for those. That's easy. Keep buying from the good/great sellers and if you get burned, well, speak up. Wouldn't be a bad idea to see constructive criticism now and then. (thumbs u

You troublemaker...

If you saved the first email where eBay notifies you that you won the book, most of the time the seller's full mailing address is listed in there. Don't see how he really can at this point. Bad rep from the start, bad til the end. Hasn't really changed his ways in observing the rules. He seems to ignore absolute everything until it's a response to a thread only that he's started. he is online right now Yep, still proves my point he doesn't read anything that doesn't involve getting money from his sales, buying books or getting advice on how to maximize his profits...
