  1. Nice! But still the best post in this thread!
  2. Of course there is. Dilution. Distraction. They can remain a subject of discourse, but they're sill the same issues. (Not that I really care at all about the census . . . )
  3. This Sunday Night! Get your GAME on!
  4. Thanks But you too have run up some crazy-azz prices in the auction format, which I commend you for also. The short side of that is that you have to spend so much time packing for the books that sell at normal prices. I recognize your volume dwarfs mine. But as I am a more casual seller, I don't need to sell any inventory.
  5. Indeed, that is hardly visible here. That's what all the beeyotching is about? The Poly bag seam is much more bothersome to me.
  6. According to many here, everyone of my sales is an "outlier."
  7. I don't see the word "trending" anywhere . . . Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay
  8. Where is the printing defect on this copy?
  9. When did y'all start calling this a printing defect? It's not. It's once again, the seam imprint from the stoopid poly-bag.
  10. As before, it's not required, as long as you play competitively. Only those that pay get a chance to win the pool. We have all enjoyed your participation and support over the years. I do recommend joining the pool however, as there are no better odds out there.
  11. Please send your entry fees via PayPal to divadrabnud@gmail.com prior to the first scheduled game of the season.
  12. You have just been sent the following note from smoke'emifyougot'em (Divad) in the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football league named CGCFantasyFBLeague DRAFT UPDATE!!! Selected Date and Time Date: Sunday, September 2, 2018 Time: 6:00 pm
  13. I'm curious as to the meaning of the annotations on the LLBC here.
  14. Because it didn't. Many of us disagree with both the assigned start and end of the period. (See multiple other threads.) For example, some of us see Frank Miller's work on Daredevil and Denny O'Neil becoming the editor at Marvel as the start of the CA (specifically issue #168 in January 1981, when Miller took over as both writer and artist.) On the end point, some hold the Death of Superman as the end of the CA. Personally, I think that's arbitrary and convenient. But the start of Image Comics was similar to the change in film studios when United Artists began under Charlie Chaplin, "The inmates are taking over the asylum." McFarlane and others did more or less the same thing at Image and for essentially the same reasons. Still that makes the CA an 11-year span, which comparatively is not "short." The only aspect that makes the CA seem "short" is the seeming reluctance and apprehension of breaking up the current 26-year period referred to as the "Modern Age." Coincidentally, see D ick O.'s Post here. While Digital Age may be a good suggestion, we might even consider the "Plastic Age" starting with the advent of CGC, and the soon to be antiquated commercial practice of creating a trading commodity enclosed in plastic.
