So how long before Please Give Me CAK realizes that lemonman has rescinded his nomination? "Enjoy the rest of your weekend" < "Enjoy your week."

There have been dozens and dozens of books sent off from Akoni's house and from CGC, due to the unbelievably hard work of tysalazar25, yagyare and Adonis - it might be in the hundreds. There are still a lot of people who are out money and books, but it is much better than it was 4 months ago.

Hey Matt, It would be great if you read my PMs and gave me an update. --Sean.

Great book and great series.

Do you think that is the "secondary grail" behind Omega Men, now? If not, what? In a world that pays me $10-$15 for X-Force 2's, Lobo #1 has potential. ( You're also seven years younger than me?! Jebus. you look like you got beat up with a bag of donuts. I had you pegged as seven years older. Minimum ) JLI 18 is the book. Man, Kevin Maguire was king of the world at one time. Why? Ist Lobo in current incarnation? Correct - 1st Main Man Lobo It's his first appearance outside of Omega Men too but that cover is awful. But he is the Main Man -

Nice!!

I called and thought I got that fixed.

Sean, Grantley is in the U.K. The cost of shipping far exceeds the nominal compensation I would expect. Also, based on the seller's history of disappearing, there is the risk I would simply not hear from him again. In case it got lost in the posts, I never intended to ask for anything. It's only when he stated that he passed the books along to me with the same grade he bought them at, obviously not true, that I asked for compensation. The arrangement was for me to get another book. I did not get that book. Shipping the books to the UK on my dime does not make me whole. Bob, I don't care. You showed the whole deal, and you brought it on yourself with your passive-aggressive comments about the grading. You don't get to get into a contest with a Brit over $60 bucks in mid-grade books, hang a PL nomination on him and then refuse to accept a refund because of the realities of overseas shipping. The seller has done a poor job with customer service, not once but twice. There is no doubt about it. But once he offers a full refund, either take it, or move on.

The fact that there is an offer of a full refund should make it impossible for a PL nomination to go through. The list is not for spleen venting or things that don't sit well. It is a mechanism to receive a way to be made whole. Once a nominee has proposed a solution that makes the complainer whole, the complainer either takes it or the nomination goes away.

Thanks, bud!

The existence of the five below books disproves your notion of how Marvel accounts for and prints incentive variants. Your numbers mean absolutely nothing. Your estimates mean absolutely nothing. You have no idea how Marvel determines its final print numbers, nobody here does. Finding a VALUED incentive variant in the packs being an exception is not the point. The fact that they contained high ratio incentive variants AT ALL is the point. Today that ignored incentive variant could be 10 bucks, tomorrow it could 200 bucks. Even if all of the packs being sold by five below only contain dozens of copies of 1:50 and 1:75 variants then that isn't an infinitesimal amount of copies. Dozens of copies of a "rare" incentive variant is not insignificant. How would those Venom variants be doing on eBay right now if there were dozens of listings instead of only a handful? You don't need palettes of these books sitting in warehouse somewhere waiting to be discovered to devalue these books. Yeah, yeah, yeah anything is possible, so what ? Marvel has actually gone on the record confirming via Diamond how they produce their retailer variants. You evidently just don't believe them (for some reason). Do you actually read what other boardies say before you respond, or are you already formulating that self-important drivel in your head before you even finish reading a post ? And what made you decide to post this sputum under "darkstar" today instead of under "lazyboy", "grails" or any one of a number of your other usernames? Just curious. I think you should go back and re-read the part where it was stated that marvel will print a variant up to the nearest case of 200-225, and also accounting for potential damaged copies, with the possible exception of an event book or a "#1" book which they may print at an excess. So where might some of those overages end up once in a blue moon ? In a five below pack or at a variant sell off, that's where. No one ever said no variant is ever over printed excessively beyond what retailers order. What was said is that is rare. You are far, far more likely to see a variant in a retailer's bargain bin than you are in a five below pack. Period. Any one who says they regularly find incentive variants in a five below pack is lying. They are indeed out there but finding one is the exception not the rule. And again, as a percentage of the sheer volumes of variants a publisher prints in a single year , this is an infinitesimal amount. -J. Grails is not another account for anyone. That is my friend Charlie. I don't know who lazyboy and darkstar are, but they are not Grails.

It's only the first rule in the list of selling rules. I can see how it would get lost in the shuffle.

I enjoyed the Sparks mini, and I enjoyed Millars Ultimates send-up tremendously. I remember a few issues thereafter, and then I think it went on a multi-year hiatus. I may not have even read the last several issues.

Over the next three weeks, I will be having a sale thread with Frank Miller SS books - Daredevil, Sin City, Valiants, Wolverine Lim Series 2 and 3 in the first batch. And maybe a couple of very esoteric Millers later on when they are back. I am trying to recoup the heavy costs of getting these books done, so i will only be selling as many as I need to cover that nut.

F you Jeff.

No matter how good the movie is, if it is going to follow history, the book is never going to top "the announcement spike." We may see some stair-stepping with NM98 if there is a series of good movies, however. I really think Deadpool is the first franchise since the Walking Dead that has a legit chance of becoming truly part of the zeitgeist. When I was in Vegas last week, I saw more people with Deadpool t-shirts, backpacks etc. than all other superhero stuff combined.

That is a mischaracterization. RMA's position has been to refute broad statements like "NM98 had a massive print run." It did not, for the time frame in which it debuted.

That's nice!
