I'll talk a little O.T. also, even though I try not to usually. This is the type of post that I usually type out and just delete.
Dre is one of this places main attractions for me because of what he does and how he does it. I first noticed the early beachbum grimm variants on ebay, and couldn't figure out if it was a brick and mortar store, or online store, or who he was.
After some online searching, and some messaging on ebay, I figured that he was a really quality-committed, grass-roots, one-man show who goes out and owns it on a regular basis. So I'm like, yeah, I have to try and get next to this guy in case I need to try and get something rare or whatever.
So here I am, there he is, and we should all be happy that he is out there, doing what he does on such a personalized level. It's up to the buyer to decide what and when to buy, and some of his stuff is more run-of-the-mill, and maybe a raw "9.8 worthy" book will still be in the same shape when it gets to me, or maybe not, so I usually just get that stuff elsewhere anyway. But some of his stuff is truly rare and hard to get, either with the exclusive issues, or the highest-grade cgc slabs.
If he mentions something like he did about Revival, it's not like he hasn't been selling the books like hotcakes already, so he must just be dropping some knowledge and I'm not going to question his motives as to why.
Dre, have you had time to read Revival yet? I would like to know what you think about it, also to get back on topic. =)
