What is Captain Jack’s origin story? Do you guys think he was a sailor in the 1800’s prior to his baseball career and contracted a nasty venereal disease hence the “last name”?

So real talk, how much do you hate yourself knowing that you screwed over tons of people on a daily basis? Or do you just love being a terrible human being? I just want to know since I been with my family to SS offices and the people who work there are all miserable people who hate their lives. It must suck knowing that you wasted a majority of your life doing something that makes you wish your dead on the inside.

Once again reading comprehension problems. I stated I used to work for Social Security. 

Shockingly another post indicating a complete lack of knowledge regarding the inner workings of Social Security. I never worked in a field office where people go to apply. I never had to see any applicants face to face. Our office doesn’t see people face to face and clients are not allowed access to the office.

So I really wish CGC was the one grading the sports cards instead of SCG. Would really like to get this card graded. Then at choice moments I could offer it for sale to certain people. 

Could you imagine if there was Baseball cards with bondage...CGC would go nuts over that notation on the label!

I riled someone up last year in OA when I made mention that the general public doesn't care who half the artists are who everyone chases and spends thousands on just to get an image of the back of a character in one panel just because a certain artist drew it. 

I only really buy Marvel related published paintings and haven’t bought much in the last two years. The OA section just doesn’t have much that interests me anymore. 🤷

Calling someone stupid for acting stupid is acceptable. I dont think you have to be 100% tolerant of everything. Not sure if you ever read the paradox of tolerance, but yeah, not every idea should be tolerated. If some guy makes a thread tomorrow saying "CGC is bad because their cases are bad and if you like CGC, then your bad ", I feel every right to call that person stupid. 

But some people on here are just completely morally bankrupt and should be banned. I dont know if this stuff is the normal or what, but by tomorrow when I have to do work, Im just going to try to kind of forget about this place. Its just hateful and idiotic. 

 

It’s just hateful and idiotic.

Are they popping these days? Over the years it became just Comics General and OA. Then just OA. Now it’s mostly just Water Cooler.

FYI for those complaining about free speech, posts like this are gonna get yanked.  Calling someone a name or stupid or arguing doesn't fly here.  Well, at least not past Monday.

He's making you think he's sensitive while getting everyone else all in their feelings over his antics. Again... truly remarkable trolling. Once you see it you can't unsee it. 

Or it’s just posters from the Comics section running rough shot over in the card section...

You sound like a perfect fit for reddit.com. Everyone on there loves to be offended and outraged while trying to sound smart all the time. You should consider going there since you will fit in way better.

I broke out a Hogan’s Hero meme in hopes he would show up. He used to break out Sgt. Shultz a lot back in the day.

Im not sure if I already told you this since Ive told people this before, but no, do not grade your cards unless they are very valuable. You dont seem to understand the point of grading. The point of grading is to get a professional opinion on a card and have it encapsuled for resale at some point. If your going to take your cards to your grave, either buy screw cases, or find some trophy shop to make you labels. Your wasting your time and money on grading if its just for a personal collection that you never plan to part with.

You dont need a professional company to tell you how to enjoy your cards. Im sorry that you did not do the research before hand, but its a service that is mostly done for resale purposes. 

 

Since Marvel cards were just mentioned in this thread. They are a PERFECT a example of why posters here should simply do what they want with their collections and not listen to this concrete thinking.

The majority of 90’s Marvel cards were hardly were worth the cost of grading last year. The majority of 92 Masterpieces in PSA 10 could be had for $25 a piece less than two years ago...now they are selling for hundreds and even thousands. With those type of escalations I’m sure many people that had them couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cash in because at some point sentimentality goes out the window when money gets crazy. (I was one. I had graded cards for paintings I own from the set...the 3 cards I sold last month more then covered the cost of the purchase of a new Marvel Masterpieces painting for my collection). I had a discussion a year or two ago with another collector of Marvel cards that it was kind of surprising that so few collectors are into grading but we both agreed it was going to happen as I’ve seen similar lags with collectibles such as Magic Original Art. The way many collectors were talking in 2011 it just never seemed like the pop was going to happen and then about 5 years later BOOM. The Marvel trading card collectors were the closest I’ve seen to that group.

People who were “dumb”enough to grade these things previously don’t have to contend with the enormous turn around times for any company to grade them. Since this same poster has repeatedly prattled on about a bubble bursting with collectibles as COVID restrictions loosen and people do other things with their money the people who didn’t understand the point of grading are currently able to sell these previously worthless cards while the market is hot.

Now they truly would have pissed their money away if they took these same cards to a trophy shop and had them make some lame display for these cards.

Around that same time we also got a virus on our computer. We had to download a new virus scan program. Some porn sounding thing was found. My mom goes I wonder how that got on there...I immediately blamed my dad...I knew better than looking at porn on the family PC given all the viruses in those wild Wild West days.

My mom goes sarcastically and clearly bot believing me “Oh I’m sure it was your father.”

A short time later she told me. You were right it was your father. Someone from work sent him a link to something dirty.

it was between 1998-2001 because I only lived in that house for 2-3 years

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I used Napster a lot my senior year of high school so that was 2000-2001 and I would always move stuff after I downloaded it as at the time I had heard you were more likely to have a legal issue if you were allowing others to download vs downloading stuff yourself. I’m pretty sure that girl said she got hit for having X numbers of songs available for others to download. I can’t remember how many but as you mentioned they originally tried suing for a much higher dollar amount...something like $800 per song and I believe she said it was hundreds of different songs.

I was sued by RIAA 20+ years ago, Kazaa Lite! Settled for $3500. I don't illegally download anything as a result. Back then they had a lot of success in suing people, just not for the amounts initially claimed as losses.

And it all started because I wanted to see Pamela and Tommy Lee! What a multi-tasker that guy is!

I can’t believe you got hit that early on. The one girl I knew that got sued was probably mid to late 2000’s since she was in college at the time. She settled for a similar dollar amount of $4,000.

This raises so many issues and questions.

1. It’s ok for artist to sell art for money but not NFT? Why? 
 

2. How does this work for dealers or artist reps? Are you worried?

3. Does DC have the man power or capability to monitor this?

Thoughts?

Since ATT owns DC a comics I’m sure if they think the company is missing g out on potential revenue this way would come up with the manpower to monitor the situation .
