    So this is the guy? https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/mtpocket505?filter=feedback_page:RECEIVED_AS_SELLER&_trksid=p2047675.l2560 He has an "acceptable" Conan 174 that can be yours for only $24000. Ironically it's not even 174 in the photo. Not sure what type of idiotic scam he is pulling on this one. Why hasn't ebay shut this clown down?

    I have some 1988 marvel heroic origins card. At least half of them are miscut from top to bottom. Similar to this:
  3. mephistopheles
    Did you contact them about it?

    8.0-8.5 already looks CP.
  5. mephistopheles
    8.5-- 9,0 nice book.
  6. mephistopheles
    9.6. It already looks clean/pressed to me.
  7. mephistopheles
    Discounting the stains I would put this at 7.5-8.0
  8. mephistopheles
    8.5-9.0
  9. mephistopheles
    I would err on the side of caution and say 6.5. The bottom of the spine looks kinda janky. Maybe from a pressing melting the glue. Cool book though.

    3.5 It started out pretty good, but dropped a grade with every picture I scrolled through.
  11. mephistopheles
    Got a link to thread?

    9.4 If the movie disappoints (as woke Marvel seems to do these days) the book speculators will dump them causing a price dip.
  13. mephistopheles
    It's definitely got that indy vibe.

    Found this while re-bagging my collection and it's not listed on GoCollect.
  15. mephistopheles
    7.5 to 8.0
  16. mephistopheles
    Guessing around 6.0, maybe 6.5 with a clean and press by someone who knows what they are doing..
  17. mephistopheles
    Amen brother!
  18. mephistopheles
    Yeah I found a non-graded cop[y cut similarly. It's starting bid was about half of other 9.6 which piqued my interest.
  19. mephistopheles
    It's on ebay and that's the only photo which also made me nervous he was trying to hide something at the bottom.
  20. mephistopheles
    Part of the Groo label is cut off and Aragones name is slightly canted. Maybe it's just a factory defect, but is this ok for a 9.6? Compare it to this one

    The only thing missing is the ghost of Stan Lee appeared and blessed it by farting magic comic pixy dust on the book.
  22. mephistopheles
    I think you ruined McFarland for me. I can't unsee the janky anatomy in ASM 300 now.
  23. mephistopheles
    It's more therapeutic to complain anonymously on the internet,
  24. mephistopheles
    Sometimes not even dynamic. Check out the latest ASM. This is just soulless banality.
  25. mephistopheles
    It sucks for completionists. It also brings out the worst in rampant speculation with people who would buy dog spoon splashed on an ASM if they thought it was a variant and could be flipped. Have you heard about the people that stood in line for hours at cons to get a variant only to have some dooshbag buy up all 100 copies leaving people without? There's nothing wrong with people buying solely for cover art, but variants are being pumped out more for dubious reasons imho. If every day is Christmas, then it takes away from the specialty of Dec 25th. Do I have vintage bias? You betcha!
