  1. So just to be clear, you went on my sales thread and made a sarcastic comment regarding the price.
  2. Would you care to explain further what you mean by "can't read between the lines"?
  3. Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.4 1st Full Appearance of Wolverine! PRICE: $10,500 $9,900 SOLD! Free Shipping. Registered mail and fully insured. I’ve only sold on here once before, in 2006, but I have bought a lot of books in distant past from G-Man, Drbanner, HooDeeDoo, Greggy, and JiveTurkeyMoFo, among others. EBay ID: norrinraddff48 Collector’s Society Registry: Werner_Von_Doom This book was purchased in a San Jose, CA LCS in the early 90s, stashed, graded in 2001, and stashed again. It has not been pressed, Rules: First in the thread or PM takes the book and trumps negotiations. U.S. Buyers Only. No HOS or probation members. Cashier's check, personal check, or money order. Book ships after check clears. No returns. If you have any questions or would like additional pictures, please send me a PM. Thank you!
  4. Thanks all. Lots to think about. I didn't consider that the old label value would be lost if it came back a 9.4. It's never been pressed. I'm leaning on leaving it alone.
  5. Hello All - Would anyone care to estimate the chances of an upgrade if this book is resubbed? It was originally submitted in Feb 2001.Thanks in advance.
  6. Losing customers is a loss. That is exactly how it works.
  7. You do, if you had two regular customers that spent $5 everyday. Then you hired Rian Johnson who pissed in the lemonade in front of one those customers.
  8. Force Awakens had home sales of $189M. Last Jedi $83M. New Hope had home sales of $30M. Empire Strikes Back $27M. $100M loss, not counting missed repeat ticket sales and Solo. Disney accountants definitely are not pleased.
  9. Are you honestly trying to say that if TLJ had an 90% audience rating it would have made the same as the one with a 46% rating? That the only factor was that it was the second movie? Come on. If you want to argue the amount of drop, that is a discussion. But there is no way there was no loss of money.
  10. Kathleen Kennedy has been involved with too many amazing movies to count. Unfortunately, she also oversaw the steaming pile that was TLJ and cost the studio likely $500M to $1B. If she was anyone but KK, she be fired and deservedly so.
  11. Great post! And you can count me as one of those who boycotted Solo specifically because of TLJ. 5 years ago, if anyone had said i wouldn't see a star wars movie in the theater, I would have laughed in their face.
  12. Before jail, there could be accusations. There are none, unlike Harvey Weinstein, who is not in jail either. Of course Disney can fire him, they can fire him if the CEO doesn't like the color of his tie. That doesn't mean people (and the cast of GOTG) can't think it is a stupid reason. If Disney is consistent, Carrie Fisher's scenes should not be in Episode IX
  13. These are JOKES. There is absolutely zero evidence of anything inappropriate. If there was, it would be a totally different story. Again, using the same absurd logic, anyone who has told the aristocrats joke in the past should never be allowed to work again. Here's the list of people that should be lumped in with Gunn from the 2005 Aristocrats documentary: Chris Albrecht, Jason Alexander, Hank Azaria, Shelley Berman, Billy the Mime, Lewis Black, David Brenner, Jimmy Buffett, Mario Cantone, Drew Carey, George Carlin, Margaret Cho, Mark Cohen, Carrot Top, Billy Connolly, Tim Conway, Pat Cooper, Wayne Cotter, Andy , Frank DiGiacomo, Phyllis Diller, Susie Essman, Carrie Fisher, Joe Franklin, Todd Glass, Judy Gold, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Gorodetsky, Gilbert Gottfried, Dana Gould, Allan Havey, Eric Idle, Dom Irrera, Eddie Izzard, Richard Jeni, Jake Johannsen, The Amazing Johnathan, Alan Kirschenbaum, Jay Kogen, Sue Kolinsky, Paul Krassner, Cathy Ladman, Lisa Lampanelli, Richard Lewis, Wendy Liebman, Bill Maher, Howie Mandel, Merrill Markoe, Jay Marshall, Jackie Martling, Chuck McCann, Michael McKean, Eric Mead, Larry Miller, Martin Mull, Kevin Nealon, Taylor Negron, The Onion editorial staff, Otto and George, Rick Overton, Gary Owens, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, The Passing Zone, Penn & Teller, Emo Philips, Peter Pitofsky, Kevin Pollak, Paul Reiser, Andy Richter, Don Rickles, Chris Rock, Gregg Rogell, Jeffrey Ross, Jon Ross, Rita Rudner, Bob Saget, T. Sean Shannon, Harry Shearer, Sarah Silverman, Bobby Slayton, The Smothers Brothers, Carrie Snow, Doug Stanhope, David Steinberg, Jon Stewart, Larry Storch, Rip Taylor, Dave Thomas, Johnny Thompson, Peter Tilden, Bruce Vilanch, Fred Willard, Robin Williams, Steven Wright Make sure you bring enough torches.
  14. This just in: Disney is not going to include Carrie Fisher footage in Episode IX due to her 2005 telling of "The Aristocrats".
  15. No. If there was some conspiracy-theory left-wing nutjob getting conservatives fired for decades-old joke tweets, that would just as disgusting. And as far as whether Disney made a sound business decision, that is debatable. If they ignored this and let Gunn direct GOG3, how much do they lose to people who boycott?, $25k $50K? $0? A new director could risk millions.
  16. It wasn't like Cernovich accidentally stumbled upon the tweets and reported them. He went after Gunn personally by digging through and cherry-picking the "worst" tweets out of thousands. These are jokes. Bad ones, but just jokes from a decade ago. Disney knew about them before hand and is only reacting to an alt-right hit job from a dirt-bag. I find Cernovich 1000x more reprehensible than Gunn's jokes.
  17. Disney really made a huge mistake on this one. This attack on Gunn was orchestrated by Mike Cernovich, of pizza-gate infamy. No one should react to this despicable character. The petition to re-hire him has over 230,000 signatures.
  18. There's only one way I'm going to Episode IX - if Luke was a defective clone in VIII. If they want to throw in a whole bunch of evil Luke clones as the bad guys, that would't hurt.
  19. Arvel omics roup or the Thing's toes being cut off? Personally, I find the cover better with the slight shift.
