  1. Those grapes would scare the mess of my Fiancee, she checks every grape she eats by cutting it in half then eating it (is afraid that there may be a spider inside it)
  2. Oh you! I see what you did there.
  3. where? This makes me a sad panda
  4. Nice job! Think you should give one to each boardie to share the love.
  5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revival-2-Sold-out-1st-print-CGC-9-9-MINT-/271143383395?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3f2167b163 Let the scrap begin.
  6. I have no idea Its a second printing for #2. Talked to my LCS and thats what the rep at diamond said When are they stopping multiple printings again?
  7. Passing on that drek! Reprint 6-7 months later for a 15 dollar premium? Really? You are lucky he is currently on a break...I can see the fight starting already.
  8. It's getting great reviews too. Maybe just people catching on late to the game? Great book & very low print run compared to other good books: Nowhere men #1 11,815 Saga #1 37,461 Revival #1 18,039 Manhattan Project #1 17,955 Thief of Thieves #17,877
  9. A dexter kill room? Actually pretty much what it looks like right now...just started putting the plastic up for the insulation prior to the drywall
  10. My Fiancee knows about my books, we are just building our house. Rather than make it a 3 bedroom (we plan on having two kids) we are making it a 4 bedroom...can you guess what goes in the 4th
  11. Mycomicshop has it , limit of 1 Doesn't seem to let me buy it...no option to add to cart or anything
  12. I don't think you guys realize how hard it is to find 27 NM copies of Shaquille O'neil #1 As hard as it is to get that sexy carpet.
  13. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revival-1-CGC-SS-9-8-Lot-CBLDF-Third-Eye-Regular-3x-Sketch-by-Norton-/330859667972?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item4d08c5e204 auction time!!!
  14. Anyone considering it...Jerry (the seller) is a good guy to deal with...picked up about 10 slabs from him last year.
  15. He had a thread called the Phantom Variant program to pretty much alert people about what the program was. He than posted pictures in this, the revival thread, about the Revival variants his Phantom Program (that is open to pretty much all retailers that request to be on it) were producing. Than people started poking him for pretty much no reason talking about how they don't like him, which is irrelevant. Larry was advertising as much as Roy from VintageComics advertises his Vintagecomics.com website. I just don't understand why some board members act so asinine all the time. I really think anyone who was upset about Larry's posts in this thread is just jealous of what hes doing for the modern comic market. I don't think it was the advertising that got the strike it was the words and attacks against members yesterday IMO.
  16. Book is hard to come by but the story is great!
  17. A very clear summation of the problem. For me, it is beyond believing that the seller was not bound to at the very least produce the books in a good faith way to attempt to complete the transaction. Let's reverse this, and imagine it was the seller complaining about the buyer: "He made an offer which was accepted, he agreed to pay cash and meet at a given location, finally he said he'd changed his mind and didn't show." As for the reasonable assumption that there must be some room for people to change their minds, respectfully, that room must be defined very very narrowly. Also respectfully, you are speaking in generalizations, which is certainly useful and is exactly what the PL Rules are: generalizations. Here we have a very specific and rather unusual situation, though. I agree the room for mind changing must be defined narrowly ("very very" is a little overkill for a generalization ). But now we have a specific incident. In assessing this and the details outlined, I just do not feel a full deal was ever reached. Thus nothing to "violate". But it IS very very troubling. I would certainly have no objection to knowing who the seller was. I feel the opposite, if this was to take place on the boards directly through a sales thread it was: Book A graded at 4.0 Price $Some amount of money, Brock then posted pending scans (in this case seeing in hand). Sorry realized I don't need to sell it that low. That is why I spoke to specifics. What you cited is not what happened here. Even CC says there was more to discuss when he said "the deal didn't make it that far". The PL Rules are like the OSPG - a guide. Personally I would love to see copy/pastes of the emails involved in this. No need to include specific names but this needs more than a summation of events by one party. A record of the email exchange would certainly help form a much more informed opinion . I am not saying throw the seller to the wolves or anything, but sounds like there was a number of books involved in a lot, the grades of the books and the price was agreed upon. Some time later it seemed like the seller decided I will throw the line back in the water and see if I can get a bit more for the books. I agree more specific exchanges would be more help.
