So your point is that we shouldn't be discussing comics in a comics forum?

Saw it on facebook, pretty sure the guy said it was Mexican.

Another version with Jean’s power visible:

Pitiful cretins! It will take more than your pathetic YMCA to overcome the Power Cosmic!

ToS39 is one of my favorite comics (paid $10 for one in 1975) but that is one ugly cover.

XM1 is a fine book, I wish I still had my copy. Doesn’t mean we can’t poke fun at it though

Fools! Thor is immune to interpretive dance!

there can be more than one jerk

I once saw this with MG having a kind of mono line lightning bolt coming from her head to Magneto, with an explanation about it being removed to reduce visual clutter or something like that. This is useless without a source, but if you’re the kind of guy who trusts vague memories of random strangers on the internet, there’s your answer!

Batman and Spiderman are frequent beneficiaries of phantom tethering posts as well.

...and not just gas but fresh, usable gas. How many years into the apocalypse are they now? Gas eventually goes bad.

Does reholdering automatically mean regrading?

This stood out to me as well. I like the idea of Stan Lee, but sometimes the reality is kind of a donkey. I also hated the execution of the animated segments, but that's probably because that's my field and I thought them poorly done. It was a lot for episodic television though, and doing it better would have busted their budget for sure so I get it I guess.

If it were a desirable collection he wouldn't be resorting to gimmicks. easy enough to simply say "all or nothing."

That's a bummer...I would have maybe offered to split the cost with them, why should 100% of the burden fall on the person who is not legally responsible? While good advice in general, reputable only gets you so far with theft, you could easily have passed that book on to someone else before you knew its story, and your reputation is golden.

Never noticed before but the logo for this probably inspired (to use a kind word) the Hogan's Heroes logo.

I don't think the notation would affect the price; 7.0 is worth whatever 7.0s are going for at the time...although I'd probably pay a little more for your copy than I would a typical 7.0 as I LOVE great looking big books with imperceptible flaws that means I can afford them.

Any blowback from PP? I always figured charging back on them would result in termination of your account.

This is why it's best to avoid the Hitler Pedigree collection.

Based on the movie portrayal of Mandarin, the price on ToS 50 should have tanked!

Let me point out straight away that this is purely hypothetical curiosity. I have no connection to any stolen books (AFAIK). The stolen book threads on here have me curious though. Let's say I read a thread, and realize some pricey book I purchased was in fact stolen. Perhaps I bought it at a con and have no idea who the dealer was. Perhaps I bought it from an LCS. Say I paid ten grand for the book (I know that's an odd purchase to make at a con without having some seller ID info, again this is hypothetical). Good person that I am, I contact Robbed Collector and tell him I have his NM 98 PGX 11.0 Very Mint comic. I assume as stolen property I am obligated to surrender the book to its owner, which I would of course do. Am I then out $10K? Seems like all that does is transfer someone else's misfortune onto me. If it came from an LCS, I assume I'd have the law on my side to recoup my purchase money, and it would then be on them to track down their source of the book and try and recoup their own purchase price. I assume this all falls under receiving stolen goods or something like that, and whoever comes forward with the stolen book kind of has the hot potato and eats the cost unless they can track down whoever sold it to them. How does this really work? I bet someone here has some unfortunate experience they might be willing to share.

Or asking them to tear out pages so as to qualify for refund.

I think he's just being literal.

I agree that the show is much better than the first few episodes indicate, or maybe it just takes that long to respond to it but this show really induces a deep level of fanaticism if you let it in. It’s amazing. Definitely come back here after you’ve seen a few and tell us what you think.
