What a date stamp placement!

that's a church I could go to !

This just in! and the side by side now to go find that Green Lantern "Best of the Best"

Amazingly astoundingly happy with this!

Wow that BF26 is a BEUT!

Well, we can't say he isn't being transparent now, can we? Dang straight...

Someone listed a book for sale and then listed past sales including when he purchased it (pre-pressing) and the amount he purchased it for. His asking price is almost double his original price, none of which I have a problem with, but when I realized he had outright stated what he had paid for the book previously I just kept thinking...

*sigh* misleading GPA info citing continues.... when a seller cites "last sale" information that's a huge red flag to me. seller's might as well type out "90 day and 12 month GPA is less, but some sucker paid over market for this book so I'm gonna cite it and strike while the irons hot!"

from hitfix.com "Although it may have come in below the highest of expectations, ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." delivered TV's highest rated drama debut since November 2009 (that would be "V") more detail "NCIS" led the 8 p.m. hour overall for CBS with 19.47 million viewers and finished third with a 3.4 rating among adults 18-49 (below the 20+ million viewers and 4.1 key demo rating for last year's premiere Fast Nationals, but not dangerously below). NBC's "The Voice" was second with 12.66 million viewers and a 4.0 key demo rating. ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." was third with 11.89 million viewers and won the hour with a 4.6 key demo rating. [ABC notes that "S.H.I.E.L.D." was Tuesday's top show in all key male demos.] So it came in 3rd overall, but did well in the keys.

Sleepy Hollow is going to be huge! Agreed. Really enjoyed the pilot, and Nicole Beharie is great. Totally playing a full on character. Nothing flat in this show.

1. Was not impressed. If it becomes a "power of the week" show, then it's going to be a yawner. We need to introduce AIM or some other foil for a long arc/ongoing threat. 2. Acting, as others stated was mostly flat/wooden. Decent occasional quips in the -script (most effectively delivered by Clark Gregg), if this show has legs they'll need to find some chemistry fast. 3. The universe was ok, references to the movies and heroes make it feel organic enough. But it is a balancing act, too many Marvel movie references and it starts to feel forced, like "since we're a TV show we cant afford to have Thor or Cap on, but if we talk about them then it's almost as good!" 4. Effects were passable for TV. This isnt Avengers budget, but I feel like the FX were about the same level as Heroes, and that show debuted 7 years ago. Have the FX not gotten better and/or more affordable since then? 5. Joss Whedon doesn't write good pilots, so Im giving a pass for the moment. Buffy didnt have a good pilot, nor did Angel, and Dollhouse was a mess. Firefly was good, but Fox screwed that one up. I did like that Joss got his spirit guide Ron Glass on another Joss Whedon joint. I imagine the masses will keep this show afloat for the season, but I dont think the total numbers will be big enough to justify what I assume is a bloated bottom line (marvel licensing & Joss's name dont come cheap). If they right the boat and this can be a good show the numbers might justify the $$.

Whoa! Where the hell did that come from? Jimmy Linguini's sales thread a few days ago....

Just picked up this SSWS key... cant wait to get it in hand. 1st Mademoiselle Marie

I think some people should get just for their oversized siglines....

Dont think I ever posted this... Always wanted a Simon SS, and figured I'd try for a Captain America. Found this one in the marketplace a few months back. Simon & Kirby's last collaboration seemed like a nice way to have a Simon SS in the collection not high grade, not caring.

simply put: You see what you are looking for. (because your brain is looking for confirmation that it is right) So if you think a seller is apt to press their books and not disclose, you will call out more books in his collection for pressing than in a control. If you think a seller has a "troll" reputation, you are more likely to interpret that persons comments as being trollish/negative when they were neutral. is your confirmation bias comment directed at the mods, as in once they give you a warning they are biased against your posts (or just watching them closer?) or something else?

story? Come on... was it your OO book from when you were a kid?

TWO Space Western Pedigrees AND A VENUS 10? What are you trying to do to me? Are these going in the vault?

If the PL person owes money, then they shouldnt be spending it elsewhere....

cant figure this one out: "Lex Luthor's claim to have killed the Batman is refuted by surprise witness Superman, who convinces the jury that Luthor did not kill Batman, as he thought." is this a possible Superman/Batman plot that someone has leaked/speculated?

preaching seems like a natural transition He'll be on the motivational speaker circuit for a decade easy. Probably make as much as he was making in the NFL.

now that's a way to get buyers to pay the paypal vig w/o saying it... "Comic Book Title #1 CGC 9.8- $88 + 4% shipped"

I have the Okajima Jungle 54... and the code is... 4 29 44 Thanks! And I've got it noted as a 3J. Based on the distribution of the alphanumeric code it would appear she went to the PX multiple times a week sometimes...

Not that I've seen. Closest I can think of (and it's not a camp Okajima, but one from the later part of the Pedigree) is Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #32.

Branget, to me the big difference is not the seller audience, or the ease for running a sale, but the competition. I list a book on ebay, and unless someone is looking for that exact book, it's never going to sell. Just to much chaff surrounding it. Ebay has 44k plus listings that come up when you search for "CGC". If you are trying to sell a book the only way it gets noticed is if someone has a search for that exact book, or if you start the listing off at .99 and get enough "lets try to win it cheap" interest. Here a sales thread may be competing with at most another dozen active sales threads on a given day/night. And the ratio of eyes to buyers is higher here (fewer eyes, but a high percentage are buyers) than on ebay (with millions of eyes, but very few buyers). Sure there are a select group of people who comb all of ebay looking for under GPA deals, but the odds of getting eyes on your listing among the thousands of other comic listings is not as easy as listing here. Sure you get 800 views, but those views are far more likely to buy than the ebay views.
