    I have an announcement to make, probably in the next day or two, but I plan on making my FDQ exit from moderns, and it's all thanks to CBT.

     

    PEACE OUT!!!!

    didnt see you come in, let alone leave. I have collected comics for about 30 years, I have sold comics once during that time, the period from Jan-Mar of 2013. Never before, never after.

     

    Now, I am not sure what your faux temper tantrum is about, and I am sure its terribly funny and all that, but my comment was refering to anything a person invests in. Economics, markets, commodities, or yes, even comic books.

     

    If you can try and make the peanut gallery laugh with some convoluted joke out of that comment. Well hey, clap on brother, clap on.

    You will never win with him, he's ALWAYS right as everyone is starting to finally find out. Pessimistic, Negative, I I I I I , me me me me me , this guy is a really sour note man and everyone, I mean everyone is seeing it .... :applause:

     

    Oh yeah, take another couple of months off, believe me, nobody missed you

    I won that one. Had a hard time passing up that price since I'm still in the market for 1-2 raw copies. I'm sure low feedback scared everyone away. Hopefully it shows up in good shape :)

     

    When did you start collecting MD out of curiosity? and what drew you to the series?

     

    I bought my first couple of #1's towards the middle/end of January. My room mate's brother is a collector and had picked it up and was blown away by the art, story, ect. I was really impressed after reading #1 and #2 as well. The story seemed pretty original to me, and I'm a sucker for historical fiction.

     

    I had 4 #1 first prints, and 2 #1 Ottley variants when I joined the boards. I saw that a lot of people thought that it may continue to pick up steam, and since my last "speculator buy" had been a bust due to all my Sheltered #1's arriving dinged up, I thought why not and started buying quite a few more. I'm just hoping for 1 or 2 more 9.8 candidates before I send in a box for grading.

     

    Just curious, why do you ask?

     

    I ask, because unlike most of the people who talk the book up here, but are only selling, you are actually buying.

     

     

    sellers have to buy books too, they don't magically get them for free.

     

    You either missed his point or are very naïve about books here and in other threads. While there is a lot of love for some books here, don't kid yourself to think some are here for the love of the book. They have a highly vested monetary interest in the success of the book.

     

    There is nothing wrong with this inherently. Just to pretend that both manipulation, speculation, and vested interest don't have a strong part in this thread is just well naïve. Money brings all that in sadly.

     

    You can hate all you want on CBT, but there is quite a bit of truth in what he has been saying. Most just hate to admit that they are part of that truth.

     

     

     

    Why do you or CBT even care? seriously. he brings it up a few times a day and probably doesn't even read the book. it's stupid. CBT is trolling, no matter what you want to call it, that's what it is. everyone knows that some of this books' popularity is because of speculators and most of the popularity is because it's just that damned good, but you and CBT wanna act like you're the only ones that notice it. no, we all notice it. we just don't care like you guys. i enjoy the book and i've made good money off it. AND?
