And that’s why God gave us eyes and a mind, so we can decipher for ourselves what 1.5’s we like better!!!! Green label was not the smartest marketing idea ever, nor was posting a 5.5 Hulk #1 and showing it as a 9.2 label in your marketing campaign. Of course neither was no inner wells, or posting pictures of Paul holding a book without gloves on when the entire IG world was beeyotching about getting horrible grades due to “fingerprints” but sometimes mistakes are made!!!!!

The general consensus was the book was a 6.5/7.0 max and NOBODY can understand the point of this giant marketing mistake on CGC's part. When people start getting back there 6.5's and then take them to the booth and say they look like the 9.2 you have advertised as a 10 foot wall display, you are asking for trouble!!!

LMAO...it's funny as I scoured this entire thread and Bob's booth seems to have been missed in this con report. Jim

LMAO

Not sure who RR is. When you walk in, we'll have the first three tables against the right wall, not the ones beside the bar. We will have three AF 15's on our wall, because as good as Eric is at buying them, selling them is a different story. Look forward to meeting you. Jim

Wow that got dark quickly...I go to the gym twice a day, six days a week as well as play competitive hockey, basketball and football holding my own with 20 somethings three of those days. I didn’t realize you thought I had a problem.

I should finish it up the last little bit but I’m on pace to be owing somebody $20 at this rate

That sounds awesome...what are you doing Thursday, Friday AND Saturday night??? Love, JJ

I have removed what you have asked me to.

That article makes it seem that video game collecting and video grading is a new phenomenon when that couldn't be farther from the truth. This piece is an advertisement for WATA disguised as an article. The first person to congratulate the article and it's participants in this thread is even a member of "Wata Advisory Board" If you are okay with the $101,500 Super Mario Bros cartridge sale, well that is totally up to you. Just let it be known that the seller of that cartridge is a member of the "WATA Advisory Board", then it was graded by WATA and then it was sold to a consortium of "collectors" who are also on the "WATA Advisory Board". You can take that for whatever it is worth. https://www.watagames.com/who-we-are Jim

Just enough to send the “Bug” to school for a year unless she keeps up with her swimming. JJ

Very nice Wesley!!!

Brad is also an Overstreet Advisor, a recognition given amongst his peers. He is well respected within the hobby. You aren’t going wrong with SharpComics. Jim

Arex....is this more than you will post all year???? I’m glad you did....it’s been awesome. Jim

I’ve had a half dozen Cooke autographed books sitting at the shop to give to him, been sitting here for over a year and now I hear he won’t even be on the same continent as us pretty soon.

15 years later and this is still the stuff of legend. I wonder if any of us had the foresight or “vision”.

Can we change the title of this thread to the "I forgot to hit the prescreen button when entering my invoice sale" LMAO

I'm shocked...both Roy and I have a drink in our hands...so unusual for Chicago LMAO

Probably because of your “allergies” Greggy was accusing you of? Jim

Roy...it was 2007, that’s when we all first really met at the Courtyard. 2008 was the first Greektown dinner. When was the year Beyonder came to Chicago with us? Was it 2009 Christopher? Jim

Arex would call Danny "Elf" all the time, because of his Nightcrawler avatar, even though Danny was about three feet taller than Arex.

You guys were in Charlotte, Drew and I were in Philly and Doc was already pizzed at me for not coming to Charlotte. If I could do it all over again, I would have been in Charlotte.

I don’t actually know what to post, but I just wanted to let the veterans know that it’s been ten years. Imagine how much has happened in your life since July 24th, 2009 to now? How relationships have changed, how you have changed and how quickly that all went. Life is short, enjoy it. Thats all I got, I still miss you til this day though buddy, I miss a lot about when we all hung out together when you were around. It hasn’t been the same since you passed. RIP Nikos Jim

You are awesome...and make me laugh every time.

Awesome stuff Flee!!!
