I think the guy just wanted to get a spanking and he was offering the job to a few choice folks on the forum.

I certainly like the covers with sexy looking women but this guy takes the "fetish" to a whole new level.

Cool cover! Congrats

Tom, from the scans that 9.4 looks a bit ambitious. Looks like some stuff going on at the staples and upper left FC.
What do you think?

While we at BCW Supplies appreciate the time and effort that went into Mike Schmidt’s extensive study of comic backing boards, we believe that his conclusion is in error.
In the images that Mike provides in his article he demonstrates that the coated side of the BCW Comic Backing Board is indeed neutral with a pH level of 7, as are the other brands of comic boards. However, in his test results, Mike states that “the 2-year old E Gerber half-back shows hardly any change in its surface pH, the shiny coating on the 2-year old BCW backing board has broken down & both the front and the back of the board is now acidic.” Consider this; a comic backing board serves only two purposes. One is to act as a stiffener to prevent damage and the other is to absorb the residual acid migrating from the pages of the comic book (this is the reason that it is recommended that you change your bags and boards every 3 to 5 years). If the 2-year old E. Gerber half-back shows hardly any change in its surface pH as Mike has aptly demonstrated, then it isn’t absorbing any residual acid that migrates from the pages of the comic book.
In my eyes, the only way to debunk Mike's test is to conduct your own study and provide the data as evidence.
From a logical standpoint, a backing board that is coated would have a harder time to absorb acid and protect the comic compared to a non-coated backing board. Or, am I missing something?

This picture seems to show pretty significant tanning on the edge of the page which could be slightly brittle...

Just bought my first comics from Tom and all was great. Perfect transaction in every way.
Thanks!

Does anyone know who is selling Avengers #4? I'm looking for, any where from 2.0 - 5.0
I'm not picky on the grade. I really need it just to complete my run. Any information would help. Thanks!
You might have more luck posting a request in the WANT TO BUY forum. People will find you...

She is SEXY!! Damn!!
And she married David Silver
Who's real name is Brian Austin Green. Who else, but a 90210 actor would be D-Bag enough to not reveal their real name, and then go as greengod.
Ladies and gentlemen, our mystery is solved!
