There are at least two (that I know of) Crime Does Not Pay covers that show people being shot in the head, the bullet going right through the skull. I don’t remember the issue #’s but one ended on e-bay last week.

Oh my [!@#%^&^] gawd! I've been watching this auction all week and the list of insufficiently_thoughtful_persons just gets longer and longer! What the [!@#%^&^] are these people doing?! Slabs for sale! Get your red hot slabs here! Slabs for sale! What? What's in it?! Who cares what the [!@#%^&^] is in it [!@#%^&^]! The slab is a 9.8 so just buy it you ignorant [!@#%^&^]! Good lord. This is a sure sign of the apocalypse. Look busy guys, Jesus is coming.

"I guess the general idea is that stamps have been worth big money and been susceptible to fraud 50 to 100 years earlier than comics have, which explains why their hobby has developed better scientific techniques to detect fraud." Maybe it's also illegal to "alter" or counterfeit stamps because they are basically a form of US currency? I don't know, but I would assume so.

You managed to mention your "willie" and "vein" in two consecutive posts. I'm starting worry about you Darth. You need to keep your "hot diggity" to your self.

I'd be interested in #3. PM me with price (w/shipping) and lets make it happen!

There is only one comic store in Santa Fe and back issue selection is not very good. They do however sell used CD's and LP's and have a nice selection of both. The owner is a long time friend so I enjoy spending time there and I buy all of my new books there. I could get a better price other places (in Albuq.) but I like supporting a local business. Let me know if you plan on making a visit and I'll give you direction.

Welcome to the board! I'm not very big on Archie, but I am currently tryinig to put together a run of Fast Willie Jackson (often called "the black Archie"). There are only seven issues, but they are very hard to find in any grade. If you have any "connections" in the Fast Wille Jackson "black" market I sure would like to hear about them.

That seems like a pretty immature thing to do man. Let it go. You’re actually encouraging the perpetuation of a topic that people could end up getting banned for on this board? You’re proud of your past verbal confrontations with Meth?! I’d think you’d be more embarrassed then proud. You want your potential bidders to see how you interacted with him? I wouldn’t want my bidders seeing any of the on this board. Wow, I never would have expected this from you. Guess it just goes to show you really never know someone until you know them.

Yea, it's ended.

Please limit your comments in regards to Meth to this thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=comicgen&Number=48955&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=31&fpart=1 That is the official Meth bashing thread. Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day.

Just don't do anything to him until I get my comics from him.

Don't worry about CI, talk about whatever you want to talk about. He's not one that can come down on anyone for bringing up dead topics or repeating things over and over and over and over and over......

I'd rather have the 9.4 White. A 9.6 OW-W would be ok, but not C-OW.

That was my thinking. I meant what I said, but no good could come from saying it.

I deleted this pointless and spiteful post. Move along, there's nothing to see here......

"Yeh, most people don't put much weight on anything procrustean says.." I'm glad you replied to this first. I never could have said it that nicely. I would have said something using the word "" I'm sure, but you know how I feel about him.....

"Ang Lee is about as far away from martial arts as they get." But with that name he has to know a lot about martial arts.

I have a list of vavorite sellers on e-bay. These are people that will work with me to resolve any problem that comes up in a transaction. There are many of these sellers on e-bay. Maybe you should use them insted of "rolling the dice"? Just a thought.

Just to be clear, I think that your return policy kicks and it's why you are now on my "Favorite Sellers" list. As long as a seller honors an unconditional return policy such as yours, they are good in my book.

If it's Golden age and restored then it isn't restored (see the back of the CGC lable on any book). When someone tells you that this practice is "generaly accepted", what they are really saying is "I'm one of a minority of collectors/investors that have a ton of $$$ invested in restored GA books." They are the ones that made up this exception and convinced CGC to perpetrate the lie. I could be wrong...........but I'm not.

Bruce, I just won one of your auctions on a lower grade book and I think that you should drop the "CGC guarantee" thing all together and just offer a "Satisfaction guarantee". There's no way I'm going to send the book I won from you into CGC, but what if I just don't agree with you on the grade? Will you take it back and send me a refund? (These are rhetorical questions, I wont want my money back, I just bought it because it has a cool cover and at the price I wouldn't complaine anyway.) I'd feel better about bidding on an auction that has a "Satisfaction guarantee" then your current "CGC guarantee".

"I'm sure Metropolis has their side of this story." There are three sides to every story. His, hers, and the truth. At this point we have one side at best and maybe no sides.

"the 9.8 reference in my auction was a mistake" I think we all agree on that point .

"How's your CGC NM/M 9.8 DD 168 treating you. Interesting question. I can't wait for the answer.

RedFury summed it up perfectly for me. I buy NM when I can afford it, but if NM is $10,000 then I really have no choice but to buy a VG to F copy.
