  1. I can smell the neckbeard on some of the posts in this thread.
  2. This has recently become a problem for me also. Mainly with PMs. When I refresh the page, my content restores to the reply box and will submit on the second time.
  3. Tons of 50s books this year, very little from the 40s. But these two would definitely make the cut.
  4. For such an amazing collection, it has a lot of books that aren't very exciting. Mostly due to the era during which it was collected. I would have assumed that those would have gone cheap, but I would have assumed wrong. Very wrong. It's kind of inexplicable.
  5. This is the thing with this particular book. There are a lot of people with money trying to fill out the best runs of Superman, Batman, and Spider Man. For essentially every other book there's another copy that will come around that's comparable. With this particular copy of this particular book, that's not the case. If 2 BSDs get into a bidding war...
  6. Dena, I don't think your experience is what everyone else is experiencing. I'm going to try to succinctly summarize the problem. We're routinely logged out of the boards, but not out of the CGC website. In my case, it can be as simple as closing and reopening my phone screen that leads to me being logged out of the boards. I'm not closing out the tab or web browser. In order to get logged back in, I have to close the tab, go to the CGC main website, log out (this is important for understanding... we're still all logged into CGC, but not the boards), then log back in. I'm not accessing from a bookmark. I don't have this problem on any of a number of PCs, only on my phone.
  7. Someone speculating on Clint eventually dying? I mean he's pushing 90, no? But in seriousness, WTF?
  8. One might say it looks... very good.
  9. The flipper:collector ratio has really grown since CGC. It used to be the case that you had to take time to learn about comics, how to grade, what was worth owning, and that gave you some vested interest in the books. Now it's just turning commodities.
  10. 2.0/2.5. There are way worse 2.0s out there. No pieces missing, big tears.
  11. Yeah, and they wanted a quality product also. Dell was the same way. They didn't skimp on the product knowing that it would hurt their brand.
  12. You're also comparing a different cache of publishers. Victor Fox was notoriously cheap, so a lot of his books were more poorly printed in this later era, and a lot of other publishers were trying to get in the market on low budgets. My bet is that if you look at the DCs you're going to see routinely consistent QP.
  13. I think the overall quality of production of books was better in the WW2 era versus the era immediately following that. Paper shortages, increasing costs, etc., led to a decline in the materials and processes. So rather than Church being meticulous about choosing a nice copy, it's more likely that he just had better copies to choose from.
  14. The pictures were obviously taken prior to encapsulation. What concerns me is that the splitting could have been caused by a press.
  15. If you go to GPA you can get that information by paying for it.
  16. stable temperature is good, wide fluctuations is not good. For most people who have a home kept within a 10-15 degree range, nothing to be concerned about. If you keep stuff in a shed and it goes from 10 in winter to 100 in summer. Not good.
  17. There are at least 6. This one, Battle Report 6, GI In Battle 9, War Heroes 1 & 5, then Attack 8 (I think).
