BWS at his peak!

When I had a 5 day(2 weeks of illness total) all inclusive stay at the hospital I made sure one of the things I did before being admitted was inform the few boardies that were expecting books from me. All were understanding. Communication is key. Not that Jason needs any accolades from me or anyone else, but I can confirm what he says. I was one of those people expecting books from him and he PM'd me saying he was ill and would probably spend a couple of days at the hospital. When he recovered, he PM'd me again and we finished the deal. (thumbs u And guess what? Both of his emails started with a polite apology and he clearly explained the reason for the delay. (A delay which, to be honest, was not much of one to begin with - we're only talking about a couple of days, here!) And that's what it's all about: communication and common courtesy! Cap_Freak's behavior was totally unacceptable and completely unprofessional. Personally, I wouldn't buy a single thing from him, even if he gets out of the probation list

My thoughts exactly! (thumbs u

How on earth did I miss those in the last VCCs? I need 6 issues to complete the run (#34 being one of them).

Super kudos to October for a tightly graded and nicely priced Lois Lane #70 and a couple of other sweet silver and bronze books. Thanks man! (thumbs u

Kudos to The Resurrection for some excellent bronze X-Men and to AJD for some super-cool Uncle Scrooge books. (thumbs u

Nice! Planning on selling your undercopy?

Kudos to mschmidt for a boxload of cheapie moderns. And thanks for the freebies too! (thumbs u

Kudos to Count for helping me come closer to completing my second X-Men set. (And damn him for making me think about starting a second ASM set! ) Just kidding. Thanks a lot, Nelson! (thumbs u

Kudos to joker-fish, for a boxload of ridiculously cheap bronze and copper Batman and Detectives. (thumbs u Kudos to GACollectibles for for some really sweet bronze DC's (and a couple of Defenders). (thumbs u

Major kudos to Zonker for some tightly graded (and way underpriced) bronze DC's. Thanks again, James. (thumbs u

Kudos to FlyingDonut for some cheap moderns in pristine condition. Fast shipping and excellent packaging, as well. (thumbs u

I still need a few issues to complete my second X-Men set... I'll be there!

Nick, that's really sad news. Hope everything works out for you, mate! (thumbs u I really wish you find new employment as quick as possible and that you won't have to sell anything you really don't want to.

Kudos to Mr.Diggler for a boxful of super cheap JLA's! (thumbs u And thanks for the cool freebies, too!

I have a feeling this is going to be a significantly smaller club than the Spawn one. I wish I could join. I only have a 4th printing.

Kudos to Zonker for some sweet bronze DC's. Kudos to Jeffreykli for a box full of high grade Miller Daredevils and other copper goodies. (thumbs u

If you're talking about "real" collections, I'd say X-Men #1 is probably the worst offender. But if you're talking about the kind of "one longbox for 10 bucks collection" that eBay is filled with, I'd put Turok #1, Rai And The Future Force #9 and Magnus #21 far above the ones your mention. With these books, it's not only that they were produced in huge quantities, but that they also had much smaller sell-through (most copies stayed at the retailers back rooms). Heck, even the copies that were bought by fans were mostly discarded in the next couple of years. Oh, by the way, I have about 8-10 copies of Spawn #1, so I guess I can join the club too. (If someone starts a Turok #1 club, I'm going for a board position )

Kudos to Warlord for a box full of 50-cent bargains that will fill some holes in my collection. (thumbs u Kudos to Flaming_Telepath for a bunch of ridiculously cheap early Sandmans and a super-sweet copy of Silver Surfer #4, which gets me closer to completing my Silver Age Surfer collection!

And if you wanna give yourself a nice Christmas present...

Major kudos to PEP for another box of inexpensive (but absolutely necessary for a completist) coppers and moderns. (thumbs u

Actually, I think they continued this practice until the late 60's to early 70's, at least. Pretty sad, when you think about how many comics (many of them now elusive in high grade or in general) were destroyed this way.

Kudos to Transplant for some cheapie-cheap moderns that will fill holes in my collection and a couple of sweet hardcover graphic novels from the early 90's in like-new condition. Kudos to Count for a nice box of modern goodies. And even bigger kudos for hosting one of the coolest sales threads ever! (thumbs u
