  1. I still can't believe people do this. Believe it. We wouldn't have this thread if people weren't people. I dunno what it's going to take for people to change into decent humans, but hope is all we got. And not taking scammers BS. Classic screwups. Few times, I asked them immediately after they won my items when I saw their feedbacks were ZERO. One of them didn't have the credit card or PayPal. I sent my request to cancel the transaction. The winner ultimately agreed to cancel it. THAT is the example of the classic screwup. I closed two more cases: they never relied or paid so they got strikes. One with zero and other with 150+. I see more weird going on eBay lately.
  2. Just playing devil's advocate here, because I once bought a lot off of eBay that showed as shipped but never arrived. It could have been delivered to the wrong address. (Not suggesting the shipping address was wrong, just that the post office may have dropped it in the wrong place.) Blame on PayPal's loopholes. Always issues with the addresses. I have to google their addresses before I ship the books.
  3. Its not a buying and selling group? The first post on the main page is the site owner running a raffle. Plenty of buying and selling goes on there, either through private sales, ebay listings or via links to the buy/sell/trade sub-forum on the blowout cards forum. Also at the site's owners and mods crapping on Indy for posting links to his external site where he features book speculation. That guy has made hundreds if not thousands of dollars for many members of that group. Similarly linguini and larry have been treated like garbage there, as has that topher guy from investcomics. But yes please tell me again how that board is entirely credible. Oh wait, you're a moderator there...don't even bother. I'm a moderator over there. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, because this garbage you wrote is so far off base that it's comical. Let me address some of your nonsense here. Anyone that joins our groups knows we have fun mostly and just b.s. about comics and speculation. i've gone on the record about what nonsense that wolverine test tube spec was, but fact of the matter is a member there pointed out relevant info no matter how silly i and others think it is. also it didn't start to take off on ebay until whoever the hack is over at bleeding cool boosted the info a few days later and wrote a story on it. we have fun over there and the cynical cry babies like you are kept to a minimum. we use real names over there and a lot of great relationships are made. it's a hell of a group. people share stories and photos of comics and their collections. it's a great source of information. indy/pinky got grief for posting his blog link cause he didn't ask for permission first and just started spamming it, it nothing more nothing less. jimmy, dakoit, hokness, tony chu, topher, and others are welcomed with open arms and are freely allowed to post links to their blogs. all they had to do was ask first and make sure it was okay. indy/pinky i'm sure will be able to do the same with a little communication and forewarning in the future. also what's wrong with having a b/s/t forum? that's what makes this hobby fun is it not? i've met some great people and made some awesome trades. Raffles are just something that is done for fun every so often, and most members get a kick out of it. Winning a CGC 9.6 Batman Adventures #12 for a 20.00 gamble? the deal with the scalped issue is a joke at this point. we can't help what people do with the info, no more than members here can help what happens to spec info posted. all the site owner did was link a comment that latour made about working with the aaron on scalped that lead to them coming up with the idea for southern bastards. no one ever said hey look it's the 1st app of earl tubbs. old news. you sure know a lot about our groups so you must lurk and troll over there often. what is the most funny is that all the guys you mention like jimmy and larry post over there often and have a good time. they have mentioned numerous times how much more they enjoy it over there than here for the facts i mentioned above. it's funny you say larry is treated like there, when it would impossible for him to get more mess than he does in these forums. we've even had some talks with larry about doing our own variant for the groups just for fun. we've raised money for members, and picked up members when they were down. we've ran drives to send comics to our troops, and are always looking for cool things to contribute and help the hobby. not sure what your vendetta is about the group but get over yourself dude. feel free to ask me any questions you got. Still hot http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wolverine-80-1994-Marvel-1st-Appearance-X-23-Test-Tube-First-VF-NM-Rare-L-K-/151429382550?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2341e50196 I compared this Wolverine #80 (Test Tube) /NYX-23 (full grown woman) to Uncanny X-Men #201(baby Nathan Summers) /New Mutants #87 (Cable).
  4. Gotta move to Akron... No, you really don't want to. What happened to Akron? Dying town?
  5. Anaconda is still filled and wanted to be left alone until the digestion is complete. Nice provocation.
  6. They won't. Also they won't show the back covers. Much more, they won't update their website. They are simply stubborn. I wonder how much of the scans shown is dependent on what the seller gives them to use? In the case of the book I bought, it had huge front and back cover scans, and a nice pre cgc scan of the interior pages before grading. But I agree about updating their website, that will never happen. . . . nor will book sales ever appear on GPA I talked the reps from GPA once. Clink is not partnered with GPA.

In the case of the book I bought, it had huge front and back cover scans, and a nice pre cgc scan of the interior pages before grading. But I agree about updating their website, that will never happen. I asked them before. They said it is too much to work. That was three years ago. They may be dinosaurs for a long time.

  9. I bought 7 copies at the small show without a hesitation. It was from $1 bin and showed him all copies. He asked five dollars that saved me $2. That was last Saturday. I checked all to see what condition they are in. Surprisedly they are unread mint condition. I will submit them and expect 9.8s. I would make $1400 easily. I will include NM #98. Nice timing for me before the bubble bursts but I don't see that will come soon.
  10. How many colors does it require to function the hologram? I think yellow, orange, green and blue are working together to make the reflections in that hologram.
  11. We are now 543rd page. Are they getting slow or fast at this time? I think they get slower right now. I haven't sent anything since April plus four coupons are yet to be used. I will wait two weeks or more after NYCC.
  12. It is really small but there were so many incredible LOW prices!!! Cheap rates for the booths are perfect for the small time local comic dealers.
  13. Dupage? Did I miss you there? Frankly yes. Next ones are in January here and in February in Milwaukee.
  14. Yesterday, I picked them up at the small comic convention. Paid for only $5. Asked him if he was aware of NM #98. He was not surprised at all and told me that he was selling the remaining long boxes before he will retire. He didn't care about them. He showed me the pictures of himself holding Tec #27 and #35. Oh holy cow! He has #1 to #35. Asked him if he is going to sell his Tec collection. He will but doesn't know when. Cool humble guy! I checked every book. They are unread and MINTY!!!
  15. I sold Bone #1 CGC 9.0 SS Off White to White for $750 last year. I knew the price will rise on Bone #1 in someday until now. It gets hard and harder to find it on ebay today than few years ago.
  16. I'm unaware of any DC war books amongst the Church collection. There WERE comics that Church purchased as late as 1962 (and a few later?), but the runs petered out quite a bit by the mid-50s as I recall. . .and I don't know of a single Church copy of ANY DC war book much less an OAAW 83. That WOULD be cool, though, if it DID exist. Edgar Church passed away in 1978. Chuck Rozanski purchased his entire collection from his children who had little knowledge in the comic books but wanted his house to be sold immediately before the value went down due to the ethical people moving in his old neighborhood. Edgar was 90 years old and was probably in a caring home. He was too old to tell his children about his collection. He collected the comic book in 1930's until 1950's. OAAW #83 was printed in 1959. I doubt that he collected the war comics not even EC Comics. He may be a religious person. Who knows. You can always ask Chuck. He was slowly selling the entire collection one by one for ten years. I am sure that he may remember most of it.
  17. So far, the highest one is 9.0 that we never see it in the public. We know that Keith Marlow sold his 8.0 for $16K few years ago. That was the second single highest at 8.0.
  18. Yes, Salida. It's certainly possible that there was a Bethlehem copy. What grade is the Salida? Maybe Oakland and Mass Pedigrees. They used to collect many war issues but I think they collected them in late 60's. OAAW 83 was printed in 1959.
  19. Opps. I thought a real duck here only.
  20. $114.99 That is what I am afraid to lose the money in few months after the purchase.
  21. Oh Gosh! The Conan completist! What a beauty collection with all of your hard work.
