  1. Coming up: a handful of Star Wars Sugar Free Bubble Gum Wrappers/Cards from 1977-1978.

    I thought I’d list them here and give board members first crack at them before moving them over to eBay. (it's been awhile since I've listed anything here; please let me know if I'm not up to speed on the procedures and rules.)

    Rules, etc. 

    First :takeit: wins; will respond to PMs as quick as possible. 

    See photos for front and back of the exact item you will receive and make note of any imperfections such as glue (which can be hard to see), stains, bends or tears. The little tear near the number is pretty standard with all cards in this set. Note: the card/wrapper was cut along the perforation line; the piece with "To Open Tear Along This Perforation" is still glued to the wrapper of numbers 9, 17, 18, 23 and 24 and is missing from numbers 11, 14 and 37. Prices reflect. 

    Prices include free shipping within U.S. Cards will be shipped via USPS in a penny sleeve or equivalent sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard in a standard letter envelope. Any special packaging beyond that must be requested in advance and will incur additional cost. 

    PayPal, check or money order accepted. Will ship within 48 hours of payment (probably quicker). Refunds accepted; you pay return postage.

  2. Late to the party on this one, but I have the X-men version of this. My envelope has "Option-E X-men" on the label. I can't remember where I got it from (probably e-Bay), and I bought it opened. The comic inside is Uncanny X-men 181 (in about Fine condition). Since #181 is dated May 1984, same as the ASM #252 and the Alpha Flight #10, I'm inclined to believe the ad wasn't necessarily indicative of what you would get.

    But to answer your original question: do not open it!

  3. Here's a major problem with the new forums: you can't see any real user-generated content without scrolling down.

    Here are photos of the old forum and the new forum. See how I can see 10 threads (8 actual sale threads) before having to scroll down on the old one. I can see only see 2 1/2 on the new forum. Also see how much empty white space there is.

    Can you redesign this?

    How to fix: cut the top/middle eBay ad (why do we need to see 2 eBay ads for the same comic?), shrink the huge title block, move the "Announcements" block over to the side and put it on top of the "Popular Now" feed, and get rid of some of the white space in each line.
