Board crashes are getting ridiculous.

Oh we have plenty of nutjobs here on Long Island it seems. Only a few close friends and my family know that I moderate. Once in awhile I toss them my phone so they can see for themselves how crazy some of their neighbors are as we can still see original posts that were removed lol. I am going to PM you something as soon as I redact a couple of things

I was going through the article linked above which was why I said by tangent. I still have to ask about a video game as I want to understand something but given some of the noise I will pm you. The boards keep crapping out though it seems.

For anyone that wants a laugh I was using OpenTable to find a place tonight... It's amusing when you are supposed to go out to dinner in Long Beach, Long Island but accidentally plan to go to dinner in Long Beach, California thanks to a mixup when doing the search for a new place. That mixup because you kind of left finding a place until about a half hour before going out because a certain person whose name rhymes with "Muh Settah" was beeeee esssssssing on a comic book message board all day. . (Going to repost this in my journal in case this thread ever gets yanked.)

No, he didn't. He actually said he was not going to speak about it.

The bubble is an 85 on that piece. I like it a lot though and put it back in the cabinet. I have a lot of memories looking at a couple of those cards. I might bring them out to do a little write up. I am probably going to continue keeping them until they fall apart. The Yoda and the Rebel Soldier have the best stories attached. There are plenty of other things in my sales threads this week even Vintage Joes and I posted two Vintage Transformers.

And what was the undiscussed deal that GPS was not allowed to list CBCS books in fear of no longer having access to the data of certain auctions? It was never explicitly stated but it was implied back when the other guys were bringing their product to market.

I heard the same thing the other day on the Nextdoor app. I moderate the local town community there. Got into a disagreement with someone on it once and next thing you know I was extended an invitation to the moderation team. Presently there is someone that created a post that whoever moderates the community is obviously promoting their own political agenda and exerting their influence instead of allowing the free flow of discussions and ideas. I shook my head. I wanted to say, "Nimrod your post was removed because you threatened to shoot the person that you are having a disagreement with." BUT then I would 'out' myself in that position. Before anyone says that moderation members should be public, this guy had his post pulled because he threatened to inflict permanent bodily harm on someone he lives a few blocks away from. They don't need to know the identities of the six people from various backgrounds and ideologies that all agreed that we should remove his posts after he threatened to shoot his neighbor.

Everyone want a laugh? I was using OpenTable to find a place tonight... It's amusing when you are supposed to go out to dinner in Long Beach, Long Island but accidentally plan to go to dinner in Long Beach, California thanks to a mixup when doing the search for a new place. That mixup because you kind of left finding a place until about a half hour before going out because a certain person whose name rhymes with "Muh Settah" was beeeee esssssssing on a comic book message board all day. . (Going to repost this in my journal in case this thread ever gets yanked.) Anyway... Joe, anything to do with Goldin always carries a taint on it due to the events that transpired with Scoreboard. Scoreboard left an awful taint on the sports memorabilia hobby. Now when you have Halperin and Goldin somehow tied together even on a tangent it does get worse. I don't think guys that defraud are really capable of change. It always seems like it is in their blood. It always seems like they take their lumps when they get caught and use their experience as a learning lesson, applying it to the next scam or scheme. I know too many people like this and have seen it too many times.

Did this page go to 33 or was I imagining that? When I hit reply it seems to be back at 32. What did you all do now?

Going out to dinner but will definitely write you guys later.

And I agree with you there. What I think that many of us were / are alarmed at is once again Halperin's involvement and the alleged activities for the previously stated reasons.

@Bronty @Domo Arigato So now I have a question. At around what point is it considered that the video game market started purchasing video games with the specific intention to keep the item sealed? There was a recent sale that really confused Jay and myself and it involves a game that I would bet money on could have easily been found still sealed in overstock and in warehouse finds.

There is difference between common knowledge within a collecting group and common knowledge among the general populous. Common knowledge within a collecting group is something like what I mentioned before that the brown Lego bricks produced around 2012 were composed of a very brittle recipe. Most people would have no idea about that outside of Lego collectors. Common knowledge amongst the general populous is that fire will burn. There are still many people that collect cgc comics that even visit these boards that have no idea what a Dupcak is or that there was a common link between CGC and Heritage and many other things. So there has been a lot to come out of this discussion that has been quite a surprise to many of us.

Transformers Devastation $9 Get it now before it goes for $900,000 on Heritage. SOLD

Lego Batman 3 - X-Box One $5 Get it now before it goes for $500,000 on Heritage. I gave it away for free for anyone that ever sees this.

It's Sunday! You Know What That Means!

And why people let that ruin their day is beyond me. Doubling down on what Ryan said.

Going to post some more toys. Going to poke around a few more boxes.

I think Torpedo Comics will be okay.
