That's what I'm wondering. When did this become gospel fact?

Wow, i'm just hearing of this. I think John needs to clarify exactly what happened and why. I can only imagine that it was a money issue (greed). No. It's not a greed issue. Bat-man showed me a snapshot of the paypal transaction. He really did pay $1,500 plus fees...less than what mt1000 said he would have paid -- $1,600. Why didn't Bat-Man post this himself?

Sorry for the family issues. That having been said, how exactly did that cause the book to be sold to Bat-Man and not mt1000?

The seller said he had a personal P.M. with you, I assume to explain the situation. Mind telling us what the explaination was. Alot of boardies would like to hear it I'm sure. DRX It was just that he thought i would not pay after the deposit ( well i dont give $500 to just anybody but...) I had the money within a few days of the deposit well befor batman said he bought the book so yes i got screwed. It had only been a week since you gave the deposit, correct? Did he bother to email you to see if you were still committed to buying the book?

concocted stories I hope it's as good as some of the previous ones we've heard.

Was that the 'wrong scan' error? And did we find out what his Ebay ID is? How did he not figure out 'he'd used the wrong scan' before the thread even started, when kryptospidey asked if it was his old book?

Full run. 1-441, and on to the current issue. Of the books 1-400, all are slabbed save for 3. That's hard to fathom and just plain wrong. :: :hail: Which 3 aren't slabbed? 332, 341 and 392. Nuisance books that I'm reluctant to pay over $40-$60 for. Patience is a 'virue', as Michael Golden says. Besides those 3, all the run from 150-400 are 9.8s save for 4 books in 9.6.

I have one of the first 9.6s given. I subbed it along with a run of other OO books in 2001. It still sits in its original modern red label holder. It may be a candidate for a resub. Resub it! Or actually, I've never seen a #151 in a red holder...and it is a 9.6. :think: (If you do resub, and it comes back 9.4, I'll disappear for a while. ) No worries there. (thumbs u It's not a 9.4 even on a bad CGC day. There are 2 tiny NCB marks along the spine, that can only be seen with tilting of the book. Nothing else. I'm not terribly motivated to re-sub though. As an end note, 173 also is a very difficult book in 9.8, especially compared to the census numbers around it.

Why take a shot at Zaid?

Could've been worse...he coulda caught it in his zipper.

Listen, it'll never get to that point, as Danny is a smart guy and will just pay the higher amount once he sees the firepower - he'd never allow this to get to the level that Mark states, as then he'd be opening up a whole new can of worms. The scenario as I see it: 1) Danny finds out about potential legal challenge. 2) Danny relents to higher child support since he does NOT want to let Mark inside his life. 3) Danny lists 30% more hidden-resto books to pay the bills. To think that he'd let a child support case threaten his source of income is ludicrous, and no matter what you think of Danny, no one can say he's stupid. I'm not a legal expert by any stretch of the imagination. Whether or not he wants Mark in his life, standing in front of the courts may not be anyone's jurisdiction but the courts and authorities to decide. If there is a child support issue (and from what Mark explains, it is evident that there is one), no investigation can tease out private financial information like a cross-examination under oath. I also understand the livelihood claim you bring up (and how this case can hurt it and the community) but if there is a bursary award in the amount that Mark is suggesting, IMHO the path Mark is taking is logical and well worth the risk. Don't confuse jc with the facts. Just because some of you are lawyers doesn't mean you have more insight into legal matters than he does.

most likely nothing. and why should they? They're hoping the existence of PCS doesn't come out during discovery.

+1 (thumbs u I was a kid at the time. For me, it's Silver = Romita and Bronze = Andru.

You gonna post the e-mail where he told you this, or should we all just assume you're a lying arsehole? You said Lauren's father 'sent' you a list. Post the email please.

Great thread. (thumbs u Add this to Boozad's shipping post as essential information.

Nice books, Steve! (thumbs u

My favorite personally. (thumbs u I'm not disputing these prices but what makes this relatively common in high grade (17 9.8 132 9.6) book worth 50-80 X 9.2 Guide? I love the cover also and do not follow modern prices but there sure are a LOT of other things I'd spend $1000 on than a McFarlane Spidey as much as I liked reading them. Are other issues other than 300 getting similar prices? How about 316? 17 9.8's is not Common If Marc was listing a 9.6 those are common 9.8's for this issue are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find 17 in 9.8 is common.... BUT, it's a number that is dwarfed by the number of collectors that would like to finish a 9.8 McFarlane run. If you look at the number of 9.8s for other books in the run, this issue lags well behind. Some of the books in the 201-230 range census out in the single digits.

Thanks for the quick reply and info! (thumbs u Great customer service!

Classier storage items than a bunch of white boxes. What is the company name?

Could anyone even imagine what would happen if Danny ever really got sent up the river, and admitted that he was the seller of these books? Depends. If the 'Tec is a blue holder 6.5 as suggested, I imagine there would be some interesting debate....

Todd McDevitt, OS advisor.... store is New Dimension comics, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Funny...I was going to post this question as well. Anyone else have any updates?
