  1. NEVER! They are popular now which proves they will always be popular. Their bubbles can never burst!
  2. "Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you cannot be misunderstood." "When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack." And why am I wearing the watermelon on my feet?
  3. As has been stated before the cold isn't too bad for them. But fluctuating temperature can kill them.
  4. I have gotten wrist slaps for using the terms: - Totes McGotes -Boom! goes the Dynamite -Moves Like Jagger -Gameday Bucket Go Boom! -Go Friend Yourself - Whaaaazzzzzupppp -23 Skiddoo - I Like Ike and 54-40 or Fight No politics on the Boards! EDIT: I guess I Like Ike falls into this as well.
  5. Ok. I'll stop. But thanks for pointing out that link to me.
  6. I'm calling bull on that. Er, you might want to check your custom title. It was frickin' funny while it lasted. If you let everyone know custom titles won't be special anymore.

  8. Is that a new information link or are you jockeying for SME I can think of many people who are better SME's in board moderation than PiP.
  9. WTMSC COI! (Welcome to making significant contributions) And Welcome to the boards Raul!
  10. Verified: 11/19 12/17 Still Verified. Scheduled for Grading: 12/17. Graded: 12/20 Still Graded: 12/30 (Day 59 of a Value non fast tracked)
  11. Church, Riley (SF), Larson and Allentown almost always merit a premium over the assigned grade (I don't mean the Overstreet value), sometimes a hefty premium. Most others don't. Seems like a short list. How about Okajima (at least pre-1945)? Seems like Ohio gets a premium. Bethlehem? Northford? I guess it depends on how big a premium we are talking about. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Okajima is the only pedigree I'd pay a premium for. Of course I'd pay more for some of the qualities that other pedigrees have, but for pedigree itself only Okajima. There are plenty of Okajima books that are only mid-grade and with average PQ. Heck, there's no shortage of Church copies that are mid-grade with average page quality. It all depends on how they were treated since Chuck sold them. I'm sure a lot of folks have seen Church copies that have been roughly handled and don't warrant much in the way of premium. Given that the SF/Reilly pedigree looks more and more like a made-up story, you might even think those aren't worth the premium currently applied to them. The Church St John romance books -- which he apparently bought second hand -- don't seem to command much of a premium. With the Okajima books from the camp period, I think people are buying the story maybe more than the condition of the books. My point exactly. I'd pay more for Church books because they look better. I'd pay more for Okajima books because of the story.

  13. Glad to hear the training regimen starts now. With 30 lbs of muscle she could fit the role.

  15. This has been debated many times here. My take is I'd just as soon display my comics. I take the usual precautions (no direct light, switch out comics being displayed, etc.). If I was just displaying a color copy I'd just as soon display the dentist's Action Coimcs #1 and his Detective Comics #27.

  17. Hopefully this means I can get a 9.8 for #1 for $100 and all the raws will be $1 I paid hundreds of thousands for my house. This proves the housing market wasn't a bubble and hasn't burst.
  18. I may have to give Arrow a shot again. (Pun intended) It seemed to CW to me at first, all the young adults and their problems, but they seem to be doing a better job of bringing in B and C level heroes and villains into the show than AoS does.
