  1. Don't think I can nominate this person since I did get my money back through eBay resolution, but buyer beware if Mikegg in the boards. I bought a book from him on the boards and it took abou a month to ship. He ten key me know he would be auctioning off a higher grade copy on eBay. I won the higher grade copy and waited about two weeks. I contacts him and asked about the book. He said he didn't have the book in hand but just go it and would be sending it. I waited another two weeks and sent him another message statin I didn't have the item. eBay automatically opens a case now so he responded to te case saying he couldn't find it, but just found it an coul still send it. I said I would still like the book and to send it. About 10 day later still no word so I sent a message askin about it. No response. I finally decided to escalate the issue last night and got a refund. I still want the book, but it doesn't look like that's happening.
  2. Love that Michael Shannon book. Anyone got any extras of his? Let me know!
  3. Great to do business with and extremely fast shippin. Love the books I picked up - Akira and Sandman #1 in 9.8.
  4. I hope he shows up somewhere in Texas soon. Namely San Antonio or Austin. Not a far drive for him.
  5. Two huge additions to my Nintendo collection.
  6. I haven't been convinced that there has been a breach of an enforceable contract. That is where I am coming from. You will make far more hay with the fact that you sent him $15 for shipping and he never did anything. That, in this specific instance, is a game changer, for me. In general, PIF deals are still problematic. I may be getting this wrong as I haven't gone back and read everything, but you can put someone on the PL for posting a take it and not paying. That isn't an enforceable contract. I would like to see this guy added to the PL. The PL is mostly a warning system, and boardies should be warned about dealing with someone who has burned other boardies before. Shouldn't this go up for vote? Isn't that the point of voting?
  7. I didn't buy from any other sdcc threads because I was waiting for Mike's SDCC thread which always delivers. Great guy to deal with, and I always look forward to his sales. Great communication, and excellent deals. I always love dealing with Mike.
  8. I picked up an HP 8300 Legal scanner off eBay. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF10a/15179-15179-64195-15202-3445111-1118287.html?jumpid=in_r2515_us/en/smb/psg/psc404redir-ot-xx-xx-/chev/ Works wonders. Check out some of the images in my registry set. No photoshopping done. Only cropping out some of the excess scan. Ryan's got the 8250 I believe and his scans are great too. There's a legal size scanner thread over in CG worth checking out. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6878470&fpart=1 Is that scanner big enough to scan a whole page of OA? I can't find the dimensions for just the scanner bed.
  9. Earthbound ??!!! The old SNES game ?? You know it. Finally released on the virtual console this month. Only $10 bucks.
  10. Been playing lots of earthbound now that it hit the wii u virtual console. Love that game.
  11. Posted this in the modern section, but thought I'd repost it here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281142342729?redirect=mobile Just picked this up last night. Very excited about this piece. Always wanted some Phillips OA from the series, and this is my first double page splash. I was happy with the winning bid amount. I think the price may have been affected by him not mentioning it was two pages, and not having a complete picture. Or maybe it's just not as hot as it was. Either way, I think this is going on the wall.

  13. Just got back into town to these three beauties. Been looking for copies of all three for a while. Very happy with them.
  14. Didn't the guy that played Spawn also portray Mike Tyson in a movie ? How original I never read Spawn, but did think he looked awesome as a kid. Does he have any good story arcs?
  15. No. I am more excited that in 3 weeks I get to meet Carrie Fisher. MMmmMmmmMMmmm Carrie Fisher..... uUUUuuuUUuuhhhh.... All 8000lbs of her? This is a still shot of someone in motion, and that normally looks terrible. That said. This looks more Jabba the Hutt than Princess Leia.
  16. Love the snow on this Rachel Rising page -
  17. Got all four corresponding pages from my favorite issue of MP.
  18. Got a couple silver age keys from Nik, and I couldn't be happier. Fast and secure shipping, and great guy to deal with. I look forward to buying from him again.
  19. Yeah, I haven't messed with charcoal before this is my first attempt. May try some more on the grey tone paper. Charcoal is my preference. (thumbs u I guess !!! Love the charcoal shading.
  20. I tried to leave an all Graemlin kudos, but it just didn't make sense. Greggy is awesome personified. All of the books I bought were undergraded. Shipped extremely quickly. The Post office in San Francisco was so impressed with his packaging they kept the package for a few extra days to study it. During this time Greggy was on top of it, and took it upon himself to contact the post office and see what was going on. After it was all said and done I had my package, and I'm getting a refund from the post office for the shipping fees. I hope he participates in the next VCC.
  21. My Modern Fast tracks arrived 6/28 and shipped today 7/9. Right on time. Even with the 4th of July holiday.
  22. Me neither. He's featured on more than one panel and even mentioned by name, if I recall correctly. BUT The market decided it a long time ago and it's quite stubborn. Same thing with ASM 299 vs. 300. Venom has 3 panels at the end of 299. One being a full page splash with his name on it.
