  1. They made a decent movie about it. Disturbing because it was true! Thats the dude-havent seen the movie did he do the drink thing in it? Classic sociopath BTW. Ps sociopath does not necessarily mean criminal. You could be living with a sociopath and not know it. Here's a test-ask them: A woman goes to her father's funeral and meets the man of her dreams her soul mate. But he leaves before she can get his number. A week later she murders her sister. Why do you think she did that? Does that fact that I don't know the answer to this question mean I am relatively normal or that I am a sociopath? I"m guessing the options are either to murder the sister to get the guy to show up to another family funeral, or maybe the non-sociopath thing to do would be to check the guest book and see if any single men signed and approach it that way...
  2. Just read the entire thread, this is crazy. I might have missed someone else saying it, but I think maybe CGC should only do walk-through service on moderns. This would cater to any signature series and show-only books, and the books that are less susceptible to resto. Not sure if CGC brings their black light scanners or any other equipement to this, but I'm sure they are rushing to get through these books while on-site.
  3. Found on a Craigslist Ad, Not sure If Posted Yet... Edit: No idea how to link this but tried to contribute.Could someone click the link and fix? Sorry..noob....
  4. Small world. I actually picked up 3 copies of MOS #18 from one of the NDC retail stores last night here in the Burgh. Will need to check there other stores as well, because they were barely over cover price....
  5. The funny part is, you could have just added $13.00 to the cost of your book and offered free shipping, and he wouldn't have put 2 + 2 together... I don't understand people complaining about shipping, especially if you "Print Shipping Cost on Label" and they can see it's your actual cost and you aren't profiting from it....
  6. Just to warn you, it does mess up sales recaps on the sales forum. I.e people will say "recap on page 14", and you'll have it on page 6 or 7. But that's really the only negative I see about it. I use the 25 per page I think, as I'm on page 250 for Saga....
  7. Just noticed that Midtown has a Variant for pre-order for $10 bucks. Usually can't go wrong with Rucka so I'll at least grab a copy of the regular cover to read.
  8. Thank you!!! Just shipped and it's a 9.8!!!!!!
  9. Well, here goes nothing. My first ever submission to CGC was one book, a Chew #1 that I bought about a year ago, which I could not find any visible defects on. Figured I might as well go big for my first time out. Since it's for my personal collection, I guess I'd settle for a 9.6 and be happy, but I'm really hoping for a 9.8. Was in "Verified" for a few weeks, and all of a sudden now its "Graded" as of today.. Wish me luck!!!! Grades are not displayed until submission ships.

  10. And Ebay is still not flooded with copies???? Gotta love autocorrect on a mobile posting. "help for bed is a copy of the activity number 1 from Image Comics"
  11. It's just money. Can't take it to your grave with you so might as well spend it on something that makes you happy. People probably spend as much going to SDCC each year and what do you really get from that if you aren't working the show and flipping to get your money back. Oh, and 32....
  12. Here you go! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nowhere-Men-Thought-Bubble-Variant-1-CGC-9-8-White-Pages-1st-Print-/350735721854?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item51a97a657e
  13. He did that same thing with a Saga #1 9.8 recently for 9.99 BIN. I guess he's in a hurry in listing....
  14. I saw that lot on eBay. Kinda neat that the serials are sequentially numbered...congrats!
  15. Nothing for me except some 2nd and 3rd printings this week. Need to find some new things for my pull-list....
  16. Nice little night of reading coming up for me Wednesday! DEC120074 BPRD 1948 #5 $3.50 DEC120584 REVIVAL #7 [DIG] $2.99 DEC120585 SAGA #10 (MR) [DIG] $2.99 DEC121263 HARBINGER (ONGOING) #9 REG SUAYAN CVR $3.99 DEC121266 X-O MANOWAR (ONGOING) #10 REG HAIRSINE CVR $3.99
  17. 2013 membership cards havnt shipped yet Yes, still waiting for mine (but nowhere near Portland so doesn't matter). I think the website said they were shipping in early February, but nothing in the mailbox yet...
  18. The First of 8 Walking Dead #1 Variants this year being given out at Wizard World events. Sorry if it has already been posted but haven't seen it. I'll probably only make it to Columbus, so hopefully it will be a decent cover, but this looks like a nice start with Michael Golden. Not a fan of the distracting logo in bottom left corner, but it is what it is... http://www.wizardworld.com/rokiwade1exv1.html
  19. I'm convinced that there are out there that don't know what the "Buy it Now" feature is, and only bid manually. No other explanation.,..
  20. If anyone listens to Podcasts, Hickman is on the Word Balloon podcast that just came out today. Talks about this book for over 10 minutes, around the 1 hour and 10 minute mark. Nothing too earth shattering but goes into the concept behind the book and general thoughts about sales, ending/abandoning Secret, and focusing on this book and Manhattan Projects...
  21. I guess I'm not too surprised to see this not crack the Top 50 for January Diamond Orders (per the listing at Bleeding Cool, not sure if this was issued anywhere else), as it was in 52nd spot. Assuming its about 40,000 copies, does anyone know if the 1:100 is printed to order? Or would they print, say at least 1,000 copies, and start selling extras to stores at a discount? Personally, I cancelled my monthly pull at 100. It's just not really going anywhere that I'm interesting in going along with, so this will be the last hurrah for me, getting a 1:100, but I'll still pick up the hardcover's once a year.
  22. So awesome that the Preacher "F" Communism zippo lighter is showing up as trending. I need to get me one of those. One of my favorite titles ever!
  23. I wouldnt really call this heating up, but maybe due to so few complete sets being listed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-KISS-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-Image-Comics-first-print-set-Howard-Chaykin-HOT-sexy-/121054635710?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1c2f6b26be http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-KISS-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-Image-Comics-first-print-set-Howard-Chaykin-HOT-sexy-/400389460155?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item5d391250bb They are all over the local LCS's here, I just can't bear to walk up to the counter with them to purchase...
