Dude. Call it a day. You've burned the bridge. There are no words that will win you back any credibility at this point. You messed up. Just call it a lessoned learned.
It's rather odd that you mention how you could care less about other board member's opinions, yet you consistently respond the these opinions with anger and veiled threats.
Seems like you care (or at least did) to me.

I guess I will put in my
I have sold 2 books to Frank and the transaction was very smooth and I had never had any problems with Frank, but I will say that the evidence is overwhelming against Frank right now. Sorry Frank. Wow, I never knew one could mention the word "Frank" so many times in one post. I wonder if Vanna could sell you a pronoun?
That's what I'm talking about!
I ramped up the smartass just for you.
And I appreciate it. We all need more smartass right now.
Somebody call my name?
You're a *nice* smartass Roy. Watson is more of an equal opportunity smartass.

More deadpan.You have to mix equal parts deadpan and smartass.
I prefer more smartass.
Check out the gay Archie thread. (thumbs u
The first part of the thread where it was fun with me and the_black_hand, not the crappy part that comes after that.

I know that, but some might want a readers digest recap updateFeh! 406+ posts since I left yesterday and no resolution to this mess?
What's the deal?
oh, I think it was resolved...
Frank says the books are different, nothing wrong done, his closest board friends support him (although apparently privately, not publicly)
99% of the boards say the books are the same from the compelling visual evidence and frank has lost the trust of 99% of the board...
pretty much sums it up
(thumbs u
I was trying to be funny - failing horribly. I'll leave the levity to those that have a better funny bone.
Excellent recap! (thumbs u

You said "bone."

3 things that prove it IMO
URC, ULC, thumb crease on right edge to the right of "behold"
That *dot* Krypto pointed out is pretty strong evidence as well IMHO.

I didn't expect the 'that's not the same book' argument
It clearly is the same book

Honestly I'd be surprised if he doesn't disappear. If he does respond what can he say? Other than the obvious: "It's not the same book" or "I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person/sorry"

Pandora? Gone or morphed into another user?
Well, the way some boardies jumped all over her after she posted that picture, I'm not surprised.
I thought that turned out to be a dude
Pandora turned out to be GoonChild, etc..
No, that was Jasmine who turned out to be Goon. He/she posted an early photo off Monica Belucci and claimed it was him/her.
There was someone who posted a pic of a blond in the "what do you look like thread" and I could swear it was Scar Jo.
Yes, that was Pandora. But she just looked a bit like Scarlett. The photo wasn't of Scarlett. And I don't think there was any discussion that she was a shill/fake. She most recently posted in January. Here's the link to the post where she upped her photo:
Having sold her a book, I can guarantee Pandora isn't a shill or a fake. I can imagine that she doesn't post as much given the lecherous remarks that seem to fly around here from certain members.
I sold to her as well - quite a few slabs in fact. (thumbs u

"A CGC'd version sold for $12,000"...
CGC > PGX
-slym
CGC ∞ > PGX
While I agree with this - I think the gap in narrowing. The lone PGX book I sold on eBay went for quite a bit more than I expected and probably higher than a CGC book in 9.8.
For those curious it was a recent modern graded 9.9.
Wow... may I ask what GPA would be for the CGC copy, and what you sold the PGX for?
-slym (isn't asking for the book's title, so isn't asking for GPA like that)
35.00 GPA versus 90.00.

According to SOT his sale stated 'no returns on CGC books' Did you not see this or just choose to ignore it?
Then he commented he would have happily taken the book back until you jumped the gun and acted the fool.

looks to me like it was lunch for 4. not sure how you got "huge amount of people," but maybe you know more about the backstory than what's evident in the check
It says 6 customers, so maybe it was not a huge amount of people. I was just guessing it was a huge amount of people since there were 5 bottles of wine served. I did not take into a account that these people maybe alcoholics.
Five bottles of wine between six people defines them as alcoholics?
At a nice long, relaxed lunch, you can do a bottle each before the mains arrive.
Agreed.
A bottle of wine is no biggie. Lightweights.
Now if it was 6 bottles of single malt Scotch... (thumbs u

Similar to coin craze years back, when an NGC MS70 would sell for 20 times what an NGC MS 69 would sell for, yet they were IDENTICAL coins. The trade was about the holder.
This book is a $40 to $50 book. It is being dressed by plastic with a grading label on it, but it is a common book, with no unusual printing defect flaws in run, no great warehouse fire story to eliminate 95% of the population. Virtually any and every comic collector, like the 12 year old who spends his paper route money on it, have a copy of this book in as issued condition. It is a ultra common.
But so what, if someone wanted the best graded example right now, then there is a premium, to land the only 9.9 Maybe this purchase price represents 1 hour of the buyers time. Maybe he would have gambled it away at the blackjack or craps table (as many people do all the time) but chose to spend money more wisely than that and have something to show for it. Buyer seems thrilled with purchase, price is reasonable as of today.
(thumbs u One of the few sensible responses.
Consider this receipt for lunch picked up by Roman Abramovich:
$47k for lunch, and that's all going down the toilet a couple hours later...
Apparently he also tipped an additional $5k on top of the automatic 20%, so his total tip was more than the sale of NM98.
If someone has the cash to burn, they don't mind paying way over the odds if it gets them what they want. Why show restraint?
Makes me SO glad I'm not a wine fan.

Thank you so much to scottish for some outstanding Valiant graded books, super-safe packaging, Flash-fast shipping, and a super freebie.
Dave, thanks for making each transaction that much better!
Back at ya Nick for being a fantastic customer! (thumbs u

Dishonest stuff going on in the Board Only Sales Area Forum...Sad.
