thanks, just going to wear it around until midnight It should be good and stale by then, if it's not already.

Yeah, Happy Birthday Krighton. You gonna eat that cake ?

The talking point is the fact this character has been well established for 50+ years. As vaillant said, it's poor storytelling. Develop a new character. No, the character's been revised a million ways over 50 years. And every few years the writers re-examine these characters for the times in which they're NOW being written. Do you really want Bobby written as if this were still the early '60s? No. Except when it comes to his sexuality. Wonder why that is. Cheap shot. Give it a rest. Moot point, with Revat's clarification. But, there are certain things about people that don't change. I believe sexual orientation to be one of them. I believe gay people are aware of their orientation from the get go (can any of the gay board members chime in). I believe that when tomorrow's news break about Bruce Jenner you'd rethink that statement (thumbs u Gender reassignment and being a gay male are very different things. Agreed. A good article about it HERE Sexual preferences is not always black or white.. A lot of shades of gray.. Indeed.

My purchase from Eric arrived quickly, was packed well,and the condition was as described. Eric has excellent communication skills, and was easy to work with. I look forward to our next transaction. ML.

Bought a ECCC exclusive from Designer Toast. The book came as described, was shipped fast, and packed very well. With the freebies he included, I felt the spirit of the convention without leaving home. ML.

I believe gay people are aware of their orientation from the get go (can any of the gay board members chime in). I became aware when I hit puberty. Didn't quite understand it other than that I found myself beginning to be attracted to my male classmates. Then I think it completely dawned on me that I was gay in 8th/9th grade. I honestly don't understand how someone can be in such deep denial all their life until they are well into their adult years. But then again, I've always been pretty introspective and independent-minded, and could easily skirt around the fringes of social circles without much attention given to me. I did always feel sorry for popular guys or athletes who have such a spotlight on them that they feel forced to suppress any such feelings until it blows up in their face later in life (so to speak). Someone else brought up the point that if you're already a minority (black, mutant, whatever), then you simply may not want to deal with one more knock against you in the eyes of society, so covering up your sexuality is the easier solution for many. dane323, Thanks for responding, I appreciate your candor.

We're talking books like HFH 1, ToD 1, MP 1, etc, right? Those books are too late (actually the HFH 1 could conceivably have one). The NDS inserts only ran from about April 1971 and stopped completely in early 1973. So you'd be looking for an ASM 100 or an IM 55 for example. -J. NDS insert ? National Diamond Sales insert. The much harder to find precursor to the Mark Jewelers Insert. (thumbs u -J. Thank you.

JerryAmsterdam sighting!

Lower grade copies of Harbinger,with, and without the coupon, have sold well since the movie announcement. Better ? Better keep trying.

Many of the Harbinger #1, in FN / VF without copon, are gone from ebay.

Good point. Maybe he's going to pay for some of it. I got to close my case yesterday.

That activity appears malicious. Hacked account ? Angry girlfriend, or just plain crazy. Who knows.

packers1181 eBay Buyer/Bidder History

I had not checked until you mentioned it. Here is the Magnus #5 This is the #7.

Here is a bad picture of some recent additions. I paid $6.00 or less each,except for the two Harbinger #1, they were $25.00 apiece. I took a flier on the Harbingers, one had the coupon, the other didn't.

Are you having a non payment issue? Something is "up" with this eBayer. Buying and only paying for some things, never responding to messages, sometimes responding to NPB cases opened, and now not shipping out things he/she sold: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=packers1181&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2776 My eCheck is still pending. Email received today that the bank declined the eCheck. Unless you like your items being bought and put in limbo, add packers1181 to your lists. packers1181 BINed a book on 04/03/2015. No payment, no communication, I opened NPB case on 04/15/2015.
