  1. Did you know you wanted that issue? Were you familiar with the cover?
  2. Yes a thousand times. If you want it and it's available you should buy it. At least as a collector. No guarantee you'll ever see it again.
  3. I agree with you Jay. Sorry if I made it seem like I was talking specifically to you. I scrolled back through the discussion and thought yours was best to quote to keep continuity.
  4. I think this is one where you need to see the book in hand to know. This book along with 2 or 3 others have become the flag bearers for those who want to convince you that every Promise book or book on HA is overgraded. But the fact of the matter is that there were 5000 other books that had pretty accurate grading by what I've seen.
  5. But seriously, what happened in the intervening time? The fact that you sold these books through other outlets is really strange if you weren't happy with the transaction. I would have just asked to undo the trade. I feel like there are a lot of missing details here.
  6. People make the mistake of thinking that our hobby is stuck in the time period that they were most involved. We all have our journey through it, we start, evolve, and finish. But that's true of everyone who comes in, and the only constant is change. It's a terrible mistake to think that the tranches of what's hot, valuable, or collectible will remain static. New hobbyists want something different than the old guard, and things will be ever cyclical. If you don't realize that things change, you'll get left behind.
  7. At the time I was happy with the trade. I would have been much happier trading cash instead of the book, but that's not always possible.
  8. I traded it last year in a moment of poor judgement. It was a really beautiful copy.
  9. More importantly, will he be wearing his original GA striped undies or his scaly undies that Joe Maneeley gave him?
