  1. comixology has the preacher 51 as may 5, 1999 print release, and the transmetropolitan 23 as june 30, 1999 release, don't know how accurate that is though.
  2. I run a pressing business due to what I discovered here. Do you disclose to your ebay audience that a book has been pressed? I tried, but all I got were endless "what does it mean, the book is "pressed""? When I explained it to them, it was like trying to explain Mars to 6th century Frenchmen. But I have no problem disclosing it to anyone who wants to know. Since I've advertised here that I do it, and have stated that all my slabbed books were pressed by me, it's not really a problem. I didn't know this when I bought those slabs from you PM forthcoming.
  3. Document preservation has been around since the time of ancient egypt. I'm sure as soon as comics began to realize serious values, smart enterprising young men began to fiddle with techniques on conservation, preservation and restoration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preservation_(library_and_archival_science)
  4. I second this! Unfortunately people prefer to take things personally as silly as it sounds because they can understand and accept it more easily than the truth. you two are a couple of dr. Feelgoods. suck it.
  5. I remember my mother pressing one of my wrinkled comics with your standard clothing iron as far back as the late eighties, I guess she was ahead of the times.
  6. Not to mention getting it in great condition since they ship it raw in an envelope with no protection. Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered two from gamestop. The only time I ever used my points was for the star wars 1 variant. Im not too hopeful in getting a high grade. Yea I did the same on the SW variant. I'm sure some make it safely but it's a lady luck thing. Maybe since this will be a thicker 82pg it's might be better. Just got to wait and see.. was sad about the two copy limit hehe I'm 900 points from 6000 fml You guys remember ordering the wizard 1/2 comics from wizard, remember the mailers that they used, I'm shocked that all the ones I ordered all look nm+.
  7. I bought a number #3 2nd printing that I had no intention of purchasing...
  8. I wish they wouldn't dilute the print runs with reprints, especially now that there's digital comics and TPBs for those that just want to read them. Leave the small original print runs alone for collectors. I mean, I've been patiently waiting for the TPB to come out in May to read MD.
  9. I'm putting you on ignore, this image is just too much. And you seem to be the only one fixated enough to constantly post and repost this image whenever an opportunity presents itself.
  10. are the hot toys figures statues or dolls? Man, I almost bought a spider-man hot toys for $180.
  11. it probably started when caveman first got on top of cavewoman.
  12. No problem, there is a lot to learn from this place, personally, I don't like too many of the members myself, which is why i'm always lashing out at people. Truth be told, I'm just waiting for god to bring on the wrath, tired of this planet called earth.
  13. WTTBs, now who are you a shill for, no one makes a first post and doesn't at least say hello, I'm new here. First off, I have no idea what shill even means. Second, I wasn't aware there was a mandatory greeting necessary. Third, I've read the forum for quite some time. Thanks for your welcome. Oh, you are going to be accepted just fine here, we're all a bunch of individual_without_enough_empathys here anyway.
  14. If the Journey into Mystery 83 had already been graded, why did you need to send it in to be graded again? That is not the question, it had been or it had not been.
  15. WTTBs, now who are you a shill for, no one makes a first post and doesn't at least say hello, I'm new here.
  16. Congrats. Sent my Ebay buys in last month. We'll see how lucky I got next week nice, I have my 2 raw copies I purchased at the LCS in mylites2 in top loaders, wouldn't mind getting them graded at some point.
  17. and if someone submits it tomorrow and it comes back purple, will l quote my own comment like a smug son of person_without_enough_empathy and proclaim myself king of individual_without_enough_empathys.
  18. this is their position today, will it be the same tomorrow. did they get it right this time, or are they finally just sweeping it under the rug by giving it a blue label and making everyone happy.
  19. What's so special about this one compared to the series released last year? This looks awesome btw: It does look fun. (thumbs u I've got a few of these. I think they have jimmy l's name all over them. Definitiely reminds me of Jimmy. Good call (thumbs u \ Had never heard of this series. Totally ordered 2 copies as I thought it had potential. Looked fun/MINISCULE print. Since when do bears look like black people, I'm calling this one out... RACIST.
  20. your friend threats you really well, sells you $100 books for $1.50, pays you $20 for books valued at $.90( $.03X30comics).
  21. When the oil from the cheap backing board leaks. I'm rich person_without_enough_empathy!!!!
  22. I hope you treated you friend to a mcdonalds lunch at least, you cheap .
  23. Dude, where have you been? It's been that hot for well over a year.
