  1. That's great buying - it can only go up after the abomination that was the TV series. Pics needed!
  2. Y - The Last man. Close the thread....
  3. 10 years worth of wasters - ranging from low-ballers (massive unders), to non-payment, to threats of physical violence. Or just general PITA - after 15,000 sales on ebay, I can kinda pick them now. "Close up pics of a single comic" in a 10 for $10 batch. "Has the case got any scratches" "Can I come around and pay you cash" "I didn't get it - tracking says you did - it was stolen / my housemate signed for it / I'm going to come down and kick your head in" etc etc etc "I don't have the money - can I pay for it in 3 weeks" " It's for my Son / Daughter / Hamsters Xmas present - can I buy it for 80% under the price you have" And my fave - "I only have $10 and my kid is sick" - well go buy some medicine, not a bloody comic....... Heard most of them - been caught by some. Some utter scum on ebay - but mainly pretty nice, decent people. If you are on here - you know why. 3_rooms, 3rdking, 617jtv, 8315k1, 84naomi84, 8derek, 9976lee, aalrd26, abcauto-industry, abplonsker, acharch81, acmein, actionfigure44collector, adawolfso1, adriansmith1964, ala-newma, alima287671, allisnotlost, allstyles, alto123blue, amanda2038, amantetech, ampcom_services, artathan_0, ausai67, aussiegamerdan, aussieretroflips, b3nr4m4, bargaindvds_au, beatlebluecat, bellesbirds, benitmazzarell0, benmuscat_91, benni-cortina, bilbet2008, billysoutlet126, blackboxcomics, blawe-8143, blends33s, bogannextdoor, bondcollectibles, boogie-man83, booksellerau, bornbr3, borod-pavel, bpebfr, bratzelkopp, bright4bay, britdon_5141, broke_ass, brokenhillrecords, bronto1, buyingboeing, buzz-n-woody-present_yodas-jedi-treasure_anakins-sith-stash, bwjcollects, byron.w123, calm-mix, carnavoncthon, carola.b, carolyhann12, cartelkarina, casinoman1948, cass_hea, cfd-315, charlottemercy, chrialt-58, chrilahar_0, claritaspecial, clowns.are.evil, clscnh-0, comicbookcorner, comicbookmatrix, comictalk.usa, comixdaily, coolstuff4u3, coolweirdstuff, corriferro0, craigj1571, crob_666, cverboom920, cweedin, d2004h2013, daabb-2349, dadsvintage, danielthomasandrewdaly, danny2731, danstrade, danzoncorp78, dappoolsaver, darcy101, darkuniversecomics, dartalic, davirui67, davpaul60, design_closet2016, diditallforcookies, doctornova, donkilumanati, donwildt, duke_0608, duncanmacloud, dwhitney1, edrosenkranz, electrobuster, er1566505, esco5357, eswood7, ethadownin-8, europa33, everest_collector, fatonious, fergo1123, fi_296, fish-n-toons, flatuswalrus, fordpicker78, franbevil-45, franckt2250, frecicchin-0, fredagg2, freepy1988, fulcrum250, funkyn, fycek-10, gahi9510, game-guru, gardenvalecollectables, gavenau, gbamx007, giantrats88, gingerbo_48, glcoo_13, glittergoddess25, goss302, gpz_aussie, graffismyjuice, graged66, greencougar007, greenmusicbaby, greyhoundman*123, guruverba, h_danda_oh5wzis, heartmusi_86, hibu_34, hoyl.hann, hulkamaniac, ia.gordo, inder.m.sukh_1, infinity-danny, intric8, ioaklean0, isharajayakody, itaketheleader, jackso_620, jadeodj11, jakebec1812, jamac-46, jamesmarchington, jamieh55, jarbr5354, jaydemermaid, jeanped-53, jeff_tickle, jeffscomicsandcollectables, jhsta_22, jlewis82, joann-7539, joeysams2087, johmcp-7, johnk_61, johroa-55, jordswif0, jtl8511, jynxd01, kamalkhuz, kekerh.cvl5gon, keng3343, kennethsarmstrong10, kentophile, keranwin23, keste2893, keyboard92tonny, kidkillowatt, kimywez, kirra.s-49, kitkated, kja1964, kni-cld-szxkz4m, konkrete-kunst, koppy13, kse_sec_bzl6snwp, kungfutyla, kvarsh02, laake-us2014, lamecowear, lanamei333, lauriebrown7, leoke-74, leonalily, letloosethekraken, liamobrien1989, limitlessvisions, lottevpinge0, lrp10719, lxldamolxl, lysafow0, m.atrix, majorpain_123, malcstar_5, mapiroo, marchr_lvnxxj8ge1, marcus_9337, mariogoku, marksmancomics, markyjmark88, markymark2012eb, marvelanddccomics, matthepitarell0, maxwaspking, med_6154, melissad94, mightymouse19_ph, mikegr1michael, mikmor73, milla-shau, moma9227, monry-94, mrqueen122, mteverest92, mulligantom, murdoch446, myco_venturer, myhy37, natalie38-81, natdow-83, nathancole1988, neil4161, newbalance2007, nicktopakas, nicola10982013, norrinraddical, odinscourt, offen-29, oliansell-0, oliansell-30, ospahi7, ozen3, p-e-a-c-h-e-s, paglo_83, pandzar, paolo17, papanos2012, patricglyn-86, paulpissedoff, pbabarke-6339, pehunt1-3, pete650, peterkuschel, pewter4144, phantomzoneverse, phillihal-3, pidge11103, pinkbitsrule, pirub-ru-skur7b5yfc, pontifff, popculturecollect, popcultureexperts, potatorace, powerfan88, powermike9000, props-wardrobe-tv, pxlp2280, qe-588, qe9068, qoky_23, rafal_7700, rafielgrayson, ragnarok13, rainbird2008, rare_stuff87, rayb214, rdhayalan, reevem123, renegade_collectables, reqfru, rhi281993, rhysandsimone, riccam9124, ritchiet-37, robro.s.mk9zboxvr, roggiet, rohe_6758, ross6868, ryno2342, samun21, sange62, sar-914088, sc_melb, scrampion, scrapdogs, seaprie0, sebea-45, sebs_comics, seema35, sgra1620, shargoodwi0, shawn_low, shel0347, simplifymylife73_3, siobhanellis, sky5805, skyfutura, slave2degrind, spar1952, speidred, sphinx0071989, steel_city_comics, stephen42, stepo-728304, stevejudovsk_0, stevemango0, stevevit2005, stimpymingus, suga3free, sunshinebettys, surdrechri, syahrockstar, tassie1991, tazzmarriner, tedsmemorabilia, terri*anne, thanos-47, the_gatemaster, thecomicbookscorner, thefarmerboy88, thegonzomemoirs, thegoodthebadandtheuglyjack, thehouseofcool, thepoint5, timelord.doctor, tonich-3766, tonimagic.123, toodogs04, tore12m, tracey_shaun, transportconnection, travisinoz, tree_ox, trip_d, troyzer83, trucker521, truekillerbunny, vanillacactus101, vintagemagazinesforsale, wackypackages-88, wasche1982, wayne333444, wezzzz, wheetleymoon, why_wait_til_the_last_minute, wizardmasters, wmdae13, wombi-2016, wrassebenny, x..1..x, xanmad_33, xanton84, xpowerringx, yahy-4, yianni1961, youcantchuckit1958, zepmaster, zombiejez
  4. Same seller - happy with his 1st deal - offered up a much much tastier treat this time around! $200 for all. The POTA #1 with Poster (Hulk - shown in pic) will get 50% of that back alone. Newton Comics - now desirable - 45 yrs after 90% of them were pulped in landfills. The irony. Great story if you want to look them up - and a book too (recommended read) https://ohdannyboy.blogspot.com/2015/01/praise-for-newton-comics-rise-fall.html
  5. 4.0 A press will improve appearance, but do nothing for grade. Great book regardless of grade
  6. Thankyou so much This will help more than me I reckon. And this is why I love these boards - best comic community on the web. Thanks @Parabellum
  7. Thanks very much - sorts most things out. I saw that Voldy DOES notate Aliens #1 specifically as 1st Hicks and Newt. Never understood why CGC didn't - so I wondered if I had the wrong book. I have the Heavy metal with Aliens - definatly the 1st app of the Nostromo crew. Plus Jones too I think. Big shout out to @F For Fake - Cheers Wheres the beer glasses emoji gone
  8. No idea I tried to figure it out on their website - maybe you will do better than me! Didn't make too much sense tbh
  9. No It's an Australian firm in Brisbane. Heard mixed reports - small time operation. I will say though, their slabs are awesome. Seriously - best on the market. Bomb-Proof, and clear as can be. (not the ones shown above which seem to be different - I guess because it's a single page ) I guess their rep in Australia is between CBCS and PGX if that makes sense. I haven't used them myself, but I did buy a book that was graded by them. Grade was spot on, so I guess that's all you can ask for. There is a website if you want to see more (I'm not going to link it for obvious reasons)
  10. Family and friends ain't allowed bud. Might want to change it before CGC Mike pulls your ad down.
  11. I thought this was... well I don't really know TBH No more 9.4 - it's now 'fragment points' for single pages. Brilliant or bonkers? I guess it's another way of looking at things? Not convinced personally. @CGC Mike - please leave up - nothing to do with another company - it's a discussion on a 'new' way of grading - thanks
  12. Yeah - chance to get quite a few thanks to a very kind boardie.
  13. 1) Which comic does CGC recognise as the 1st app of Bishop (Charles Bishop Weyland) from the Aliens Franchise 2) Which Comic does CGC recognise as 1st app of Hicks? Thanks y'all. Yeah,I have SS fever....
  14. Looks great. I'll be going to the cinema with an open mind. Hopefully it will be as good as the trailers imply.
  15. Hirshman (Hirschmann) found God after working for the German Govt and revoked her third reich beliefs.. She's a naturalized American who set up various immigration / refugee organisations. Its a christian comic - and it's all written in it. Like @lizards2 said - read the comic. Strange question
  16. I liked the ones that were achievable at home with a lot of practice. The later ones take months of work and thousands of dollars and seem to transcend into commercial 'custom' works for clients. Certainly interested in the smaller ones which, with trial and error, seem doable at home and on a small budget. Not ones which need a fumigator tank installed in your workroom! Fun stuff Bosco
  17. 'Lost Girls and Love Hotels' is calling you.......
  18. That guy needs to change the way he speaks..... talk about sleep inducing...
  19. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-04/jeremy-renner-helping-others-when-critically-injured/101825506 Renner was being a 'good samaritan' helping a trapped car-driver free their car. No good deed and all that. Wishing him well in all this.
