I would like to know as well. While we are at it, why are golf clubs seized as  restricted items? Seems fishy to me. 

They’re dangerous, and can be thrown with a great degree of force… 

…especially after busting a drive into the trees or missing a three foot putt.

And of course, this masterpiece. Pick your poison. 

Paul Ryan?

From when Marvel instructed all artists to draw like Liefeld…

I have not seen any of the 7 packs in stores here. I hope they finally reach us here as it sounds like they have some nice gems.

We won’t (didn’t) get the first wave of 7 for 10s, because we didn’t get the waves of 3 packs that went into them, I’m guessing.

Hoping we get future waves of the 7 for 10s, with the long odds ratio 3 packs inside, and the current wave of 3 packs.

He tells Porkies lines from the Movie?

He tells what Porkies rinds he likes?

He tells what Porkies chops he likes to eat and how to prepare them?

Well, it was good enough for Chaucer, Shakespeare and Jonathan Swift.

Eh, I give their stuff a B too. And *way* too many variant covers.

Dollar box fodder.

We can assume it was a shilled faulty auction

Maybe.  But if so, whoever was doing the shilling is an absolute m***n.  If I’m putting a floor bid in, $450 is ridiculously optimistic, and if I’m the 3 feedback guy, just how high would I think I could push the final price before I won my own auction? 

Skipping legs day, Hemsworth?

Are you asking about cover price of comics, or back issue prices?

I intended to ask about back issue pricing in general, but as always it's difficult to convey the proper meaning online.

No worries.  Your best bet is old Overstreet Price Guides.  It’ll give you some idea of the history of values, and the market reports will be helpful to capture the zeitgeist of the moment.

The caveats I’d give you are this:  pre-2000, Overstreet was really slow to adjust pricing on books that blew up.  It took them several years to catch up on pricing McFarlane Amazing Spider-Man’s, for example.  The problem continues post-2000, now magnified by the fact that books blow up and cool down much faster in the internet age.

Second best options may be old Comic Buyer’s Guide issues and ads, and other old ads, like the Mile High ads that ran in comics in the 80’s and 90’s.

First, I'm sure this has come up over and over, but I couldn't find any threads using search terms of "longterm" "appreciation" or "prices" hence this post.  Sorry to the old timers that have seen this before.

Yea, but maybe it would quiet them down?  C'mon, just humor them!  Then you can at least say "Hey, I did what you though would count as proof...now that's not good enough?"

Because it won't be good enough

Would be good enough for me, Dan.

Supposedly, merchants would sell customers live piglets and, after putting a pig in a sack for easier transport, would sometimes swap the pig for a cat when the customer looked away. The buyer wouldn't discover they'd been cheated until they got home and literally let the cat out of the bag.

Don’t buy a pig in a poke.

Probably best not to buy from Danny, either…

First time I finished the Sopranos, I was so impressed with their culture I decided to learn Italian. Their profanities are the best. 

How far did you go?  Are you fluent?

So not one person on this site that he can trust, never bought nor sold, no one to vouch for him, and no PMs or the like? Somethin' stinks....

Nope.  No LCS connection.  Never met by anyone at shows… etc, etc

Can anyone honestly tell me......if accusations were being leveled at you for this long......and they were false.......that you wouldn't have absolutely lost your s**t by now?

Not me.  I’d laugh, say ‘yeah, whatever’, and run into several boardies at the next local con. 

Hell, I’ve even met Greggy in person.

this guy is such a scum bucket. all those nose bleed priced books, and of course no back cover scans. makes sense right? this part of the listing cracks me up. So he's just getting around to this one? LOL. Carefully hand picked? What else would it be picked with, a set of ice tongs. LOL.

 "THE best one, carefully hand picked from an unopened case in 1987 and meticulously stored since. "

 

Are ‘thrill bidders’ still discouraged?
