    ASM lot of 3. ASM 1 (2018) is NM. $15. SOLD

    Takes: First takeit in the thread wins and immediately trumps all ongoing PM negotiations. I reserve the right to overrule takes in the event that a PM deal is concluded and I hadn't yet had a chance to mark an item sold. Any variation of "takeit" counts. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through. Payment: I accept Zelle, check, money order or cash. I prefer no PayPal or Venmo but will accept it if it's a must. Payment expected in 72 hours unless we work it out ahead of time. Who can buy: No Hall of Shamers or Probies, or anyone on my personal list. Shipping: $5 unlimited within the US. International shipping will be at cost and must be determined prior to sale. Returns: Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit.

    I wasn't. I had no idea there were other books.

    One of their press releases last year stated that they brought in efficiency experts to review processes and reduce steps. Evidently one of the steps those experts advised eliminating was quality control.

    I bought one single sketch and nothing else. I just could not find any books I felt I needed. I'm sure there were deals to be had but I was pretty specifically focused on GA and prices for those were...healthy.

    Thanks for saying hi.

    Here's my one purchase from the show.

    Ok that makes sense.

    Wait, that booth was Carbo's?
  12. Ryan.
    That booth was interesting. The dealer had a couple small racks of books, maybe two or three dozen total, including a bunch of pulps. Very underwhelming display. And then you look down at his table and BAM Detective 27 in a glass display case.

    Why wouldn't this be in a blue label? It's clearly overgraded but that chunk missing is not a basis for a qualified label.

    @AmazingComics413 how was your show? Did you move a lot of books?
  15. Ryan.
    See you suckers there. I'll be the sexy one in the Shortboxed shirt and Patriots hat.

    Is it game used?

    I've read every single issue of Usagi that Sakai has done, starting about a decade ago via the collected editions and continuing on today through the monthly single issues. It's the only long running series of which I've read every issue. I enjoy it quite a lot. With that said it's a niche property steeped very firmly in a specific time period that won't hold much appeal to a broad audience. This is likely why the animated series will be placed in the future instead of Edo period Japan. My biggest frustration with the property is that I idiotically sold my copy of Albedo 2 and now it's too expensive to get back.

    Everything today stinks and culture was perfect you were 13 years old.
  21. Ryan.
    Of course not. Comics like the ones I posted above have always been around. People just love their backinmydayisms.
  22. Ryan.
    Interesting. I'll happily buy on the downswing.
  23. Ryan.
    Agree. CGC is making more money than ever. They likely see their huge backlog as a good problem.

    oops...

    Shortboxed doesn't hold the book.
