Oh Paul, why are you soooooo cranky? I've tried to have a nice chat with you and all you want to do is throw silly insults. Do you remember what Mike said a few pages ago? "If there are any personal attacks including name calling from either side, the person hurling them will be permanently banned from the thread at minimum." You don't want me to hump that button, do you? Have a good night and I hope you feel better tomorrow.

That's some powerful mind reading ability you have. Can you tell me what I'm thinking right now?

Lighten up, Paul. I guess you didn't see the smiley faces? I'm just joking around. BTW you can ask Mike if I'm Stu. He knows exactly who I am.

"What I am genuinely interested in is this....where does the Company CGC stand on this issue?" "I'd love to know what CGC feel about this given they have had a huge hand in perpetrating his legend."

Please ask them, and post their reply here.

What did you think poutine is? Asking for a friend.

Why does CGC have to acknowledge any stand at all? I think you're reaching for something that's probably unknowable and not exactly pertinent to their core business of grading comic books. Whether Stan was a fraud or not has nothing to do with CGC's business model.

Mike they make fun of you... Where exactly does "Chris Chestnut" make fun of Mike? I read the whole message and couldn't find anything that makes fun of Mike. And I'll bet my English reading comprehension is quite a bit better than yours. So now we're going to have clickbait post titles? Are you really that desperate to have people read your posts?

Don Rosa has been selling recreation covers with "duck" characters like this for years. I picked up an Avengers #4, Thor #112, and ASM #14 many years ago at a con in AZ.

I bought a few of these in 1970. They were a nickel each if I remember correctly.

Nice clickbait face there buddy. The algorithm is proud of you.

ComicTom needs to get severely dragged for promoting this POS.

Um, no. Are you one of Mike's "friends or associates"? Or maybe you're ComicTom?

I don't think a press is going to be able to fix the 2 graders notes that I've bolded, but the other 2 would almost certainly be fixed with a press assuming the back cover crease isn't severe (hard to tell from the pic). I think a press would give the book a small bump but it's not going to magically turn it into a 9.8, so the decision is up to you.

Not sure if this is a recent issue. I've had "too long" bags going back at least 10 years. I just fold them at the top of the main body of the bag (the red line in your pic) and live with the extra space. Haven't ever had bags that were too short.

"Then it will go back to the original designs..." That's the point I was making. I understand that there will always be temporary changes as part of the marketing for a particular movie, TV show, etc.

Yes, the actress who plays Snow White is Hispanic. I have no problem with that at all. However, if you go to the Disney store you'll see that the Snow White figurine is still depicted as a white female. I'm willing to bet the Snow White figurine will always be depicted as a white female. Compare that to some of the changes that Disney has made to Marvel characters in the comics and movies in recent years. I'm simply making an observation that Disney seems much more inclined to change the Marvel characters, for whatever reason, than their own. IMO this shows a lack of respect to the original creators at Marvel, and the long time fans of these characters.

It's funny that Disney doesn't seem to want to extend their love of diversity and inclusion to their main legacy characters. Why not go all in on the virtue signaling and make Snow White and Mickey Trans or non-binary?

Thank you!

Is your comment directed at CGC for misspelling the word "Spanish" or is it directed at RMA for pointing out the misspelling?

I had that same Aurora U-Boat kit back in the day. I'd love to get back into building models again one of these days.
