  1. "Rules are made to be broken." Laws on the other hand, are another story.
  2. Now it's about weenie wagging? Sorry if I offended you to the point you would go there.
  3. What offends me, is that you take two paragraphs to say nothing. Must be quite a book.
  4. Keep driving the price of my newsstands up . . . while I go out and buy private collections from the people you say don't exist, and even if they did, they won't have the "ratio" of newsstands that you and paquart have deemed as fact.
  5. Exactly. Even a beater copy of Ultimate Fallout #4 Newsstand would now sell for $1,000+. There are none available in any grade. They exist, but the ratio to direct editions is ridiculously low. Sheer stupidity . . .
  6. Perhaps you should pause a bit before you post your knee-jerk reactions to what I've written.
  7. I understand your sense of humor and I am not offended. But you did beat me to the the punch.
  8. Clearly, you are smarter than the rest of us. I guess you skipped over this one. Let me give you an example of real life. I have a friend who is a collector. Like many private collectors, he is very personal about what he collects. He talks to almost no one about his collection or his collecting habits. He let it slip out one day in our often brief but frequent "conversations" that he figured he had quite a few more comics than I did (seeing my garage, which is about 75% of my collection.) He said he had more boxes than I did, but that all of his were long boxes - which puts his collection at about 90,000 or so comics (probably higher.) From our conversations, which frankly I enjoy very much, I have discovered he knows very little about what we here, call the "marketplace." I am sure that each of you know someone like this, as I have known several (as in many) eclectic collectors. How on Earth do you not acknowledge and account for these collectors and their collections?
  9. Well I'm a huge cover art fan, I just love a good cover on a comic. With that said I also like Daredevil and brown/orange Wolverine is my second favorite costume he has ever had. So for $140 this is mine... Always . . . Buy what you LIKE.
  10. FTFY Especially now that they walk hand-in-hand with Satan. (OMG did I just say that out loud???)
  11. One, why am I quoted in the context of this response? And two, if you rely on a Facebook group for facts, you have no standing here whatsoever. It's all freakin' resto. Period. (I just realized we may be on the same side here.)
  12. I would suggest that all of the opposing comments are directed towards both of you.
  13. On a whim, you know that data is only for the last 60 or 90 days, right? It's meaningless . . . unless you are a seller looking for a reason to charge a premium. Period.
  14. This statement is so freakin' naive and privileged . . . I think you've lost Your marbles.
  15. Nice! (But you have got to clean that scanner bed)
  16. Hogwash is the term that applies here . . . Well, except for the five or six dealers who post here regularly and swear to it.
