Say something about the print run of New Mutants 98 and an R-Bomb will go off around here.

I used to give the print runs for certain SA items and got flamed then, too. I'll pass for now. 

Let the others hang themselves. They post personal information, post INCORRECT information re: other's Feedbacks, maybe they will turn into the lemmings they really are...

I don't remember all this hostility way back when, but in those days it was Joe Collector picking most of the fights around here.

 

Trust me the hostility will get worse. All I have to do is sit back and watch the fireworks!

Couldn't even read through the first page of feedback without accusations of scamming and overgrading. What a shock.

Yes, especially that SELLER who refused to sell to me. If you could read correctly, Shad, that insufficiently_thoughtful_person was the SELLER who accused ME of overgrading. 

Now while we are on such "friendly terms", you should know two things:

1) A Seller cannot post a Negative for the Buyers on the 'Bay. Surely he would have done so to me had he had the chance. Why? I slammed HIM  with a Negative after his attacks. 

2) That Seller was the overgrader. How was I able to leave him ANY feedback since there was "no sale"? I had bought two items from him, thus the ability to leave Feedbacks.

I have to save your posts today, Shad. Thanx.

CAL2 whose day was made today by both Shad ad Stu. Can you dig it???

I copied what you wrote,typed it in search username,nothing came up

Now when you research this eBay account, hopefully you will easily conclude that I did not get there by being the chump my detractors make me out to be. This was HARD WORK, and RARELY did I ever use Key Comics or Bulk collections. My business model was NON-key Comic Books. IMSM is NOT a Key Book: it is a semi-key in my opinion. Silver Surfer # 1, 1968? Yes, THAT is a Key Comic Book. Beatles Dell # 1, 1964? Yes, another Key Comic Book.

CAL2 who still works hard...

He was buying my IMIS off of Old
Guy and Donut all the while swearing he'd never buy from me. Funny thing was Old Guy was paying my full asking price and selling them to  Cal for about 30% more.  Good times.

Perhaps Cal can verify with his extensive records.

I guarantee I made money off ALL my IMSMs I bought here.

Are you totally lame or what? Others can see what I been selling them for and you post this? Not are your punches missing me by miles, you are insulting the other Comic guys here.

And business was always separate from the trash talk, even on eBay Chats. Even my more harsh detractors always respected the business aspect of this great hobby.

Maybe you and Marwood need to get a room...

CAL2 who needs to take a small break after this disappointing round...

I say 4pm this thread will be locked.

Over /under

Over 4 for $2,000 to win $2,500. The NEWBIES here don't know the REAL fighting words. They will need PMing by the "deep state" of this Forum to goad them into posting the trash. So yes, it will be OVER 4 hours, and it is 12 noon PST my time.

I'd take you on in a battle of wits, but I make it a rule not to fight unarmed opponents.

I remember you too.

But hey, you JUST DID enter the pit. One thing I can't stand are Hypocrites who claim to be "innocent" but somehow get their heads bashed a bit...

CAL2 who suffers no fools for very long...

Just now, the blob said:

Pretty sure I sold you a raw 8.5-9.0 for more like $80 a long time ago.

You probably did. I had a LIST of all the Boardies I did deals with, and that computer crashed. I lost all those transactions, over 200.

CAL2 who was good for business back in the day...

Just now, shadroch said:

I have no idea how long you were here. Nor do I care. Did you join before me? Don't know and don't care. 

Now you are outright lying. You may not care, but you KNOW the answers.

You also told me once to "go play in traffic" then lied about it. Another Boardie copied your post before you deleted it. I did not forget that.

CAL2 who has a computer for a memory for some things...

I'm not sure you quite grasp the meaning of "entertainment".

Sez the guy here for 22 whole hours.

Okay Shadrock. My counter-punch to your gut: I was here LONG before you were, and you know it.

CAL2 who now must re-activate the old account just to put Shad back in his place...

Does he sound like Morgan Freemen

Hollywood who would be curious to know,yet scared to look on you tube

I could answer your Thread with a post such as: " Comic Book hobby is alive and well, but like the Stock Market, money flows in and out of sectors. What is hot now is Avengers, SA Spidey's, X-Men/FF/Iron Man( no shameless promotions here, just the FACTS). To get the money there, the Bronze hotties Like Spider-Women 1, Machine Man 1, etc. have "cooled off". In the words of the Robber Baron "Rothschild" in his Interview with the WSJ back in the late 1800's:  " I always sold too soon" as to why he was s successful in the Stock Market". So pick and choose accordingly. Also spending 50 hours a week on eBay is a REQUIREMENT to learn the Comic Book hobby.

But to post that would end this Thread. Here, with the "flavor" added, this should be more entertaining. 

CAL2 who might relook that idea of the Title: Entertainment Director.

Why do you refer to yourself in 3rd-person?

That actually started by accident: back in the day I was trying to edit a post, and the servers were not receiving anyone's posts correctly. I went to work and there was this 55-something paged Thread bashing me for that. So not to waste the Boardie's efforts, I incorporated the 3rd person schtick to my Brand. 

CAL2 who has a Brand. It works. Just wait and see.

I can't decide if this thread is brilliant and hysterical or just a dumpster fire. I'm leaning towards the latter...

 

As a NEWBIE of 3 months you have no "rights" or cred to state this, so pay some DUES before you do this...

Cal2 who has been commenting,and defending his stance on iron man sub mariner one shot.

I have a 7.5 of it,but I only thought it to compliment the Iron Man 1 I bought

If you list your Iron Man's on the 'Bay I will at least take a look at them. If they look great I might buy them.

CAL2 who still spends the coin on pulp...

How do you acquire the seat of "Lowest Rank"..?

Something to do with Threads getting shut down...one could GAIN points for being the Last poster before a Thread was locked, etc. I wanted to be the LAST ranked poster, but this kid somehow undercut me, then he was gone for years...

CAL2 who is starting to get "it" back...

Was at my LCS last night, and they'd just gotten a copy of IMSM 1 in, had it up on the wall. I've always liked the cover. It was $78, not sure about the grade. I considered taking it down and looking at it, but anytime I have that impulse, I think about Cal's stash, and decide that there's no point. 

Seeing the world of Cal and the noob boardies collide has been pretty amusing this afternoon.

For the record, I've always enjoyed the...color...that Cal's posts bring to the boards. I suspect we share very few life philosophies, but at least his posts are entertaining.

I used to get "mad" because no one would appoint me the "Entertainment Director" of this Forum. The Mods did not like my "inside humor", trust me. I used to be the KING of getting the LOWEST rank, of which I sort of forgot for now, but this clown took my place and UNDERCUT my last place and then was gone. Oh well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose...

CAL2 who has seen it all...
