  1. It will be difficult to remember for me, as I never think about it. I implicitly think one should return a book only if it is grossly misdescribed or misrepresented, as I try to do my best to describe mine.
  2. It‘s enough pretty if you ask me, especially for that grade.
  3. what's the grade? It’s an underwater grade.
  4. It will rather make it hard, for young people using it, to become old in a relaxed manner. (Don’t know if in english this phrase sounds like a mess, I tried but my english is still in Beta).
  5. I love the #4 too but don’t have money to put into it right now, as I need to save for a #1 (and possibly improve my #5 and #2). That is a nice #56, let us know how it is when you have it in hand.
  6. Thank you Claudio! I have owned a few copies over the last two decades, but this is the nicest one I managed to snag up at a decent price (this book has always been expensive, especially in the 90's, I didn't have a lot of money for comics back then). Mine is here.
  7. That is just a beauty! A lot better than mine in this case…
  8. I just noticed that because of the miswrap in my copy the figure of Ben is shown in full. Oh well, it has its advantages!
  9. Yup, I can’t complain, I just love the centering on yours!
  10. It’s probably also prettier in grade… I do not remember if I posted my upgrade, but again, here it is…
  11. thanks, dan, and the rest of y'all. now to upgrade the 4 and i'll be just right. It‘s really a great copy – best luck on the auction for your undercopy. (thumbs u
  12. I just love the centering… Would you trade it with mine?
  13. A beauty of one of my favorite early issues. Love how the cover paper seems white judging from the light blue tones.
  14. I see what you mean, but it wasn’t entirely necessary there, to understand the reply. If everyone quoted like that, threads would become pretty much unreadable.
  15. Your humorous comment was nothing offensive. With all the due respect Brock should learn to be less impulsive. In my reply I stated that I understood his feelings, and I seem to get everyone agrees on the topic at hand – i.e. compile better your sales thread and avoid "back and forth" corrections when possible. Take his colorful names as fireworks, which is what bad knee-jerk reactions should be valued at.
  16. And that thread is where? This one? Gimme a break. Lots of talk and zero action happen in here all the time. Nothin would have changed had the issue been brought up here. As for being seen in a better light, that's moot. Those that feel negatively towards me will still feel the same. Things change. People don't. Whatever. You keep on trucking, tiger. I agree with you, Sean, as impulsivity is never much good, and it can deteriorate relationships even for simple misunderstandings. At the same time I understand Brock's feelings, and we know his temper: I am not saying he should not have posted in the sales thread, but maybe he should have just posted a balanced comment saying a mistake is OK, but altering a post's text back and forth makes confusion. From what I get, no one got the book at the initial listing price, so no preference (for the bad of the good). The mistake, in good faith, belongs to rube and I will never stress enough a bit of more care when listing (and pictures, dawg! ) would do a world of good.
  17. And that is more than fair. (thumbs u Said this, I am put off by sales threads without pictures. :shrug:
  18. Congrats. ... and to think you couldve pressed it and maybe eve double your money
  19. They are super-sweet. I wonder why the FF#1 in CGC 9.0 doesn’t show up in the search for me (unless I do a specific targeted search, now that you have told me).
  20. I agree with this. Better to have a small sketch on its own. (thumbs u
  21. That Daredevil was a single volume, I believe – Bill will tell. (thumbs u Wow, Los Quatros Fantasticos #1-16…
