  1. Being in between jobs gives me time to find the hidden gems! And when you find a shop with those gems you have to bleed them dry!
  2. That is what I told him when he PMed me as well. Then I blocked him from PMs as I had spent too much time on it already!
  3. All purchased or traded for in the last 10 days. I am flipping a lot of other stuff to keep the cost low. He has a nice FF12 but we cannot agree on the price as he sees it as a 7.0 but I won't pay more than 6.0 for it as I am not so sure about his grades sometimes.
  4. I buy most of my comics in person, so I have to find one in a store first! (I also buy some here, like the nice SS2 I bought last week!)
  5. I just bought 2 2.5 raw copies! Actually I traded a bunch of slabs for them. I had none of these issues 3 months ago and now have 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 53 and a few others. I am looking for a 49 now myself.
  6. Nah. It is best to counter posts like yours publicly. If you don't want to derail the thread then stop posting about it.
  7. That is why it is irresponsible to just make a number up like 1:100. 1:100 is just a much speculation as any other number you could just make up, so it is best to not use a made up number at all and just say newsstand, which denotes a different distribution method and little else.
  8. I got a nice Silver Surfer in the mail today from www.alexgross.com and he was easy and pleasant to deal with!
  9. I went to a show last year where he had very little line and bought 3 of his sketches, with many left in the portfolio after I left. I got there in the morning but after the doors opened.
  10. Alex, someone at the door for you! (Alex has a good canned answer to this type of question.) Good luck, HA archives should have some comp info for the BWS splashes.
  11. Still waiting for my value submission of 11/09 to hit should be any day but I’m ready
  12. ugh, I just PMed him trying to trade for it. If I just bought it I would have snagged you by 30 seconds or so!
  13. I just got back a NM98 9.8 subbed in modern tier and a Standard tier IH181 8.0, both of which exceeded the stated limits by 4x and 8x respectively. I had them pressed and then dropped off so was pleasantly surprised when the got so much value but like I said, not moved at all.
  14. I like his ideas and would like to see it in action to see if I can swing it.
  15. well, it will come back much quicker! CGC has never moved a book of mine from one tier to another, and I just recently had one end up much higher value than the tier indicated. I use ASM300 in the modern tier often.
  16. I didn’t know they were that expensive I use our fellow Bordi myself and love his work
  17. YIKES! Why so much? $20 modern fee + s/h + pressing...how did it get to $130?
