  1. I never thought I'd see the day when this thread was inactive. I refuse to let it slip to the second page!
  2. Well said. I agree that the social media manipulation is killing peoples brains. Human beings are insufficiently_thoughtful_persons and other people are always going to take advantage of that. Every single book has a “first appearance” now too which has the same effect.
  3. Exactly. That’s why there will never be a “crash” like we saw back then. I’ve been listening to people say that the industry is doomed for at least ten years.
  4. It's impossible to compare the 90’s to today. It's such a different world where people in Australia or Japan can buy your comic book online in real time instantly. The world is a much smaller place and that makes the market so much bigger. I honestly think that this is just how the comic book “industry” is now Some people buy books to read. Some buy to ‘invest’. Some to flip. Some because there’s a movie or series coming out. People also have ALL the information available at their finger tips now, which includes all the risks and rewards of buying books. That wasn't the case in the 90’s. I really can't see the problem and the comparisons don't make sense to me.
  5. I know. I get it. Saying that “all your books are destroyed” is uncalled for though.
  6. Yep, same issue with my submission tracking too. I just presumed that it was hurricane related.
  7. Having lived through cyclones in northern Australia, I can tell you that these things are scary, life changing, and nothing to joke about. I’ve read a lot of posts on Facebook joking about books getting wet and asking if it will affect turn around times etc. I have a few books at CGC right now but I’m more worried about the people in Florida and their safety. Because, even though they’re on the other side of the world, it brings back the memories of sitting in my basement with my partner and my dog with a mattress over our heads for ‘protection’ and just hoping that we wouldn’t die. Please stay safe.
  8. Why does Gooses’ son dress and act the same as his dead father? Who does that except for a serial killer?
  9. Their TAT’s are great now. And I agree with the OP. I'd rather pay upfront and be done with it.
  10. Just picked up the action figure variant for cover on Ebay (Australia). But there's not many around.
  11. Didn't do a pre-screen. The money is just sitting there waiting to be taken, and I’m pretty sure they won't forget 😂
  12. I haven't submitted for a while so this is kind of a noob question... When my books have hit the Grading/quality control stage, how long do they stay there? I haven't been charged for one of my orders either which is weird, but I'm assuming that it will happen before they're shipped. Thanks for the help, Jamie
  13. Maybe they were on the motorbike revving the engine, but now they've gone full Fonzie.
