Sure

Maybe he wants double kudos...

Do you enclose a nude picture? Never.

You must have really handsome feet. Straight toes, no bumps or nothing deformed. But the buyers do not see that. They simply see that there are sneakers or shoes being worn without socks. Now the sandals however, you would see my toes. However, I just looked and I realized that I threw out my sandals since they were unwearable after I actually "blew out my flip flop." (thumbs u - It all started at a joke as to what WOULDN'T sell on eBay. The shoe challenge was issued and a buyer came forward. Since then various issued have been challenged with some being achieved, some cheated through finding a loophole (like will an empty box sell on eBay and I sold a vintage lego box with no parts in it since it was actually an empty box) and some challenges utterly failing.

- Classic thread de-rail.

Let's talk about something more fun. I am thinking about listing all of my old shoes and sneakers on eBay once again to take advantage of sales opportunities for those into that sort of thing. Do I take the pics with my bare feet in the shoes or simply let the shoes speak for themselves without my feet in them? And by the way... before you all laugh... keep in mind that someone once bought my $10 flip flops for $50. What people do with my stuff after I use it is their own business. In the meantime while you ponder my inquiry, feel free to proceed with the previous discussion.

I was looking for an Eternal Warrior #1 Gold Flat variant. After some serious searching, Jay helped me out at a more than fair price. I would do business with him here. I would do business with him elsewhere. Especially if you are a "valiantfan"

*ahem* I have Mavericks (10.9.5) and the HP8250 and I can verify that it doesn't work natively. However it works fine with VueScan which isn't that expensive and will continue to be updated. My situation as well. You need VueScan because HP apparently stopped updating the Mac drivers. I appreciate the responses. Is there anything at all out there that does a decent job with a mac straight out of the box?

*ahem*

Just watched it for the first time now. Just wow.

Very pleased by this - my only complaint is that now he will most likely not show up in a Star Wars movie.

You are getting one... :shrug:

So sorry.

Marvel Universe Live You mentioned Terminator movies... but not...

What ?!?! No mention of what happens on 2015-12-18 ?

What's the current consensus on the best scanner that is compatible with Mac OS 10.8.5? I am also thinking of upgrading to OSX Yosemite. Are any of the scanners that one would recommend compatible with that upgrade? I was about to pull the trigger on an HP8250 but saw that some were having problems with the Scanner and the OS.

King king ain't got mess on me.

If you factor out any SS series books and just consider straight submissions, I would say that they did better than 1/10th of the volume. I whole heartedly concede that CGC has a stranglehold on artist alley and signatures in general. Desert Wind and NY Comics were submitting books to CGC as far as I know and not to the other guys. However, with the exception of Thursday, I was there for almost the whole weekend and I am comfortable in my claim that they received greater than 1/10th the number of books that CGC would have received that would have been placed in blue, green, or purple labels. Why would you factor out SS? The other company was taking in signatures as well. Because the presence of CGC concerning SS at cons dwarfs any and all competition. In fact I would venture to say, and I believe that you would back me up on this, that Signature books make up the majority of submissions at cons by the general public. As stated, it was pandemonium at the CGC booth in artist alley and rightfully so. As I have stated, I find flaws in a few things I have observed and gaping errors that I and others have witnessed. However they are and continue to be the industry standard when it comes to receiving and processing signed and sketched books. If we are talking straight submissions, I looked things over and saw that there was a sizable amount of books being turned into the other guys. So if we are talking overall.... then hands down CGC wins in all areas of the conversation. If you are talking about non SS books... I would say that 1/10th the volume is an understatement. That is all I am saying. I submitted 2 books to CGC and 5 books to the other guys. Until the other company publicly states how many books they took in no one can say what they took in, but just on observation it was nowhere close to CGC. Fair enough. But I want to make it clear that I never claimed to have hard facts, just on my observations by observing both booths and walking and talking and observing.

the other guys emailed me on monday that my submission was received, in the system and in que. Granted I paid for the higher end tier but still. Same with me. Back on Monday and in safe for grading. If they can do it....why... ah forget it. Yeah but did the other guys take in 100 boxes of submissions? I don't know or have facts to back it up.... But from what I saw and heard, they had 5-6 people deep on Thursday morning subbing...and it didn't let up on Thursday. I subbed 12 books and I was told they took in record submissions. So I would think yes. If you think the other company took in 12k books during NYCC, you're smoking crack. Come on. How would I know it was 12,000 books subbed? That info was posted after my post so I didn't say they did equal it. I would guess the volume isn't the same only because the awareness and trust isn't close yet due to such a short time in business. What they are getting is impressive to say the least. The question Beachbum asked me is if they took in hundreds of boxes, I still think they did but don't think it's equal to what CGC gets. Make sense? And i'm sure if you were at the show Beachbum, you saw plenty of the other guy slabs on many dealer walls. I think acceptance is pretty good considering and since it is your business...i'd imagine you have your eyes open about how they are selling too. They didn't take in 100s of boxes either I know that you're firmly rooting for the other company to succeed, but if they managed to pull in 1/10th of the submissions CGC did at NYCC, it would be a miracle - and I very much doubt they did even that.

The other guys are still sorting as well. Patience my lad... patience.

Picked up some pages in the last month.... Amazing Spider-man 25/466 Page 17 (Romita Jr and Hanna) Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 Page 3 (John Buscema and Klaus Jansan) Amazing Spider-man 661 Pages 11 and 12 (Reilly Brown)

At this rate, by the time I get Kraven, he is coming to Opening Day 2015 in the Bronx.
