  1. I'm wondering what other cards are going to be placed next. We got the victim card, the libel card, sympathy card, and now the disability card. You just need to own up to your mistakes and quit trying to make yourself look like you're trying to do your customers right. I get that you want to finish the work you've started on your customer's books. That's being ethical and professional. The behavior being shown in this thread is far from being professional and it more damaging to your image and brand. Making customers wait longer just because you want to make adjustments to make a book look better, while keeping your frustrated and concerned customers waiting, seems rather selfish.
  2. I was really hoping for a scene with the Crime Syndicate of America in one of those Elsewhere shots.
  3. Flash's goal was to save his mom which would have saved his dad, but at the end he decided he could only save one. I believe Cavill was in the movie, but only for a couple seconds. I still thought this was a very good movie. Knowing that this movie is going to be on MAX in a couple months means I won't be going back to watch this at the movie theather.
  4. Thanks. I picked up a large set of Turok son of stone back during the Valiant craze. There were a few lower grade books, but most we're on VF or better.
  5. I have a #7 15 cents cover somewhere. It took some time to find that. I'm not saying it's more rare than the others, but it's always that last issue in the set that's hardest to track down.
  6. Looks like a 6.0 to me. There is too much creasing on the spine, that back cover crease, small tears on the left edge on the back cover, and what looks to be a crease on the front cover from Spidey's shoulder to triceps.
  7. Regardless of which came first, it's still an ad for Alpha Flight 51. His early artwork isn't anything special which is why his early work isn't very valuable.
  8. Apparently DC is following Marvel with their woke agenda on this movie. Yep, I'm definitely out. I was hoping Warner would just focus on making movies without virtue signaling but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
  9. Same here. I didn't find anything in that trailer that made this a "must watch" movie for me, but that last line sealed it for me.
  10. Cool book, but I'm sure you're probably aware this is in pretty rough shape. I'd say it's in Poor condition.
  11. Nice book. I'd say it's in the NM range (9.2). Possibly higher if that top right corner can be pressed.
  12. I think the YouTuber may be one of these entitled people out there that think because they have a camera and a YouTube channel they can go out, and film and do what they want without a care on how it'll affect the people they're recording as long as they can use those people for content in their videos. I've never gotten kicked out from a comic books store but to get kicked out from two stores within an hour for the same reason was his own fault. He knew why he got kicked out from the first store and did it again at the second store. I've dealt with a couple YouTube and social media people in the past and one of the things they love to do is to try to intimidate people so that they can get what they want. Maybe these store owners knew what was up, a guy walking in with a camera strapped onto him is pretty obvious what he's doing, and just decided to end his stupid games once he showed he wasn't going to respect their business.
  13. I would assume the OP is doing better since he doesn't seem as desperate to sell his books.
  14. This is unfortunate especially considering people who don't know much about comics prices may just type "comic book price guide" into their browser and wind up getting that web site. Imagine inheriting a bunch of old books and using that site to not only price your books but to use their marketplace to sell them. It's always good to have more than one source for pricing.
  15. I have no issues with buying restored books but trimmed pages or covers are a no-buy for me. I'd rather get one with a detached and split cover than a "higher grade" trimmed book.
  16. $70 for that book is insane. The book is worth much more than that. That website is not a very good place to go to get accurate pricing. They use an algorithm to come up with their graded prices instead of actual prices. For a book like that, that doesn't get sold very often, it's harder to get an accurate price but $70 is way off for such a key book.
  17. They probably took a hit on the grade. Green labels will ignore certain defects, whereas blue labels won't.
  18. I know this topic (180 vs. 181) has been highly debated on many threads and forums, but what would/could/should happen if in issue 181 the editor decided to replace the entire creative team with another team and took the book onto an entirely different story path without Wolverine, and Marvel decided to put someone else other than Wolverine in GS#1. Would #180 still be considered a cameo or 1st appearance?
