  1. Not at all. :shrug: I'm heating up the other direction I'm weary of new buyers full of spit and vinegar who want a pound of flesh without even bothering to wait for a response from a seller who may or may not have made a mistake, and can't be bothered on their to even do the barest of research to understand the rules or even post questions in the right forum. Its not like someone left a dead rat in your daughter's salad at Applebee's, no one is going to die because you were missing 7 out of 20 comics and 5 of the ones you got had bent corners. People who select 'drama' as a first reaction to these kind of things....well they're more likely to go on 'lists' here than sellers who occasionally make mistakes then rectify them. Since I do not know the details I did not want to comment, but I surely agree with you.
  2. I am like you, and unless it’s a cheap book or a great deal, I always ask if it has miswrap before purchasing. (thumbs u
  3. Oh, for sure. I would have no issue asking someone for pics in their sales thread. I just don't like forcing sellers. We should allow minors to sell books. I am missing GIJOEISAWESOME…
  4. I was not saying there should be a rule, I was just saying that it was a legitimate complain. Sometimes a complain is just useful to have people realize they can do better.
  5. @JD: The one about lack of pictures is a fair complain. :shrug: Especially if there is hardly communication from the seller and the thread is somewhat "dropped" (as it happened with Greg's one). That’s not much caring or respectful towards buyers.
  6. +1 I assumed OP was looking for an either one or the other vote. Yes, I wouldn’t buy them either, as Sharon says, but I voted regardless. (thumbs u The swapping solution is great… I’d probably do it myself!
  7. Don’t be silly. They might be less popular, but they are important characters. Very important. It seems to me not only you are ignorant about the Marvel age, but you seem to be proud of it…
  8. Ah, my vote goes for the one with the missing piece, of course, even if it’s pretty defacing. (thumbs u
  9. True enough for reading, but I wish the folks behind the Masterworks would be more faithful to the original art. The colors are often garish and details in the original inking are lost or suffer from blurry reproduction. DC used to do much better with their Archives until the budgets were cut. My The Masterworks (at least the original ones, never saw more recent ones) are more or less useless if one wants to have the story as it was. All the recoloring may be nice (in some cases) and it can also follow the original color schemes (it didn't when they started), but it just isn’t the real thing. :shrug: As for me, I agree with David on the choice as well. But also with GAtor. I have an early Daredevil Comics with brittle pages, but brittleness is confined to an edge, so I can read it, while I have another book which looks super-nice but it is more brittle and I never handle it and just stare at the cover. Generally speaking, I would never buy effectively brittle books again.
  10. You’re pretty rad yourself, you know.
  11. Thanks! To be honest, I don’t like much the cover to Four Favorites #12, which I love for the story. So since this thread is about the favorite covers I did not add it… BTW Xavier Logan's Detective #31 is so beautiful that I could cry… That cover is just so fascinating!
  12. I never rally saw the F@#$ you on this book. It looks more fsher to me. More like a Rorschach test, you see what you want to see. Maybe this is a 'prototype' for the Watchmen Sleepy Censors It truly takes a sick mind to see that word here…
  13. "Misunderstood" is just about right… But only by these who do not know better…
  14. But I have to agree with GeeksAreMyPeeps… A book I really love I can have 2, 3, 4 copies, just to make sure I don’t ruin it, but a box…
  15. I love the series, but especially the first story arc has not much to do with Wakanda and whatever setting they could conceive for the film as closely related to T'Challa. In fact, the initial storyline, IIRC, has him traveling through time and space thanks to the King Solomon's frog artifact. I loved the following storylines, the Vibranium poisoning and Kiber the Cruel ones, a lot better.
  16. Among the few ones that I have (which are more than ten) I can choose these, most of which I have already shown here and there. I have probably a few other I love for the cover, but not scanned and at hand. (Daredevil Comics #5 comes to mind). The others I love for the content more than the cover.
  17. Oh well, I think I never have enough words of praise for Kaspar, for the few instances in which I bought books from him. I know his books are tightly graded, generally looking better than the stated grade, and with nice page quality. I purchased a batch of Silver/Bronze Marvels from his last sales thread, and not only he has given me a discount on the shipping, but he slipped in 2-3 additional books in high grade which I did not buy (but I was missing)! Packaging was also superb, with so much protection that it would have taken an effort to damage the books within… Definitely deal with Kaspar and be grateful…

  19. By "Kid Loki" you mean the recent issue with Loki set on Valentine's Day? It’s actually the last one I have read… I must pick up with the last ones.
  20. I’d be curious to read the story in ANMPO to see if it is worth having… While I like the cover of the Ms. Marvel #17 second print, the inside story is drawn in a way that my stomach turns upside down, and Kamala is barely seen in the last page (no face shown).
