  1. Great prices, amazing packaging, and solid communication throughout. Can't say enough good stuff and would gladly do business again. Highly recommend. Rob
  2. Great seller. Reasonable price, solid grading, and consistent communication throughout. Highly recommend. Thanks again! Rob
  3. Nothing but love for the board. You get out what you put into these threads and being an adult when someone else gets too invested in an (and say the bolded part out loud for emphasis) online discussion about comics lets you avoid some of the other less than desirable aspects you sometimes find here. Rob
  4. Agreed.Not that I'm a huge SS seeker but there has to be a strong affiliation to the book itself for the sig to desirable IMO.
  5. Negotiated 2 Batman runs that were delivered securely today. I would probably say that they were undergraded if not spot on. Communication was solid throughout. Thanks again, John! Highly recommend and I look forward to working with John again. Rob
  6. Love these covers! The sigs are perfectly placed too. Congrats, those are to be envied. Rob
  7. Picked up 2 slabs that I had been waiting on for a while. Packaging was solid, Timing was perfect, and great communication throughout the entire process. Highly recommend and I look forward to the next time I can do business with Anthony. Rob
  8. Hey, I just found this thread and first want to say how amazed I am that this community will take the time to help each other and provide a wealth of assistance, guidance, and support to a struggling member regardless of how that help is received. It is incredibly admirable and reaffirms my love for this hobby and its members. Gabriel, I sincerely empathize with you. I have spent the last 10 years working toward a dream job that I focused on so much that I not only stopped looking for viable alternatives, I convinced myself that this dream was the only possibility for me to be successful. This thought process has led to some positive times where I felt close to acheiving what I wanted and there have been incredibly negative times that were caused by my inability to adapt to the changing environment. This fixation impacted friendships and relationships as well as caused me to pass over opportunities that had the potential for being extremely beneficial to me in the long term. I lied to myself and said that this was the only thing that I was good at. I thought that there was only one way to achieve what I wanted no matter how many times I hit a barrier. I stopped listening to advice that I didn't agree with or differed from my developed plan. Ultimately, I was unsuccessful. It was hard to accept. I didn't think that I could accept it. It really tore me up for a long time and you know what? The realization and the acceptance didn't happen immediately or even quickly, it happened in stages over time. It didn't matter what any individual friend said or did to try to help me but it was the general, persistent support from my support network that guided me, over time, to the realization that my worth is more than just this one facet. This realization prompted me to broaden my horizons and refocus my efforts to find an occupation where I could achieve a level of enjoyment comparable to what I thought my dream job would give me. Actually exploring opportunities outside of what I had previously limited myself to was very reassuring and boosted my confidence. Once again, it didn't happen over night and it wasn't easy, but I found a job that I would have previously not thought was achievable and am on track for both progression and upward mobility. I can't offer you advice on comic sales. I am only a buyer for nostalgia and appreciation for the medium. You already have a wealth of information from the others on this board. What I can offer though, if you want and are comfortable, is advice and assistance with resumes, job interviews, and tools to use that set you up for success when looking for a job. I have been through this process for the past 8 months and have acquired some assets and knowledge that might be beneficial if you are interested. I am willing to help so PM me if you want to. Even if you don't, I sincerely wish you success and encourage you to stay positiveand don't give up. Don't let "not giving up" turn into not adapting though. Situations change and successful people adapt to that change. They also seek multiple routes to success. my 2 cents
  9. I found a complete run of Agent X in the dollar bin and jumped on it. I remember getting them monthly in college and that being the first comic I read that week. I plan on binge reading them all this weekend again and reminiscing. Not the rare find but definitely nostalgic.
  10. Stick to the issue instead of making demands after the fact and after admitting the seller refunded. You are losing any high ground you had.

  13. Jrob29 has TODD arc 3 intel -- because THAT'S HIS FREAKIN' JOB! Guy got it out of me and I didn't even know he was doing it! Army training in action. Totally willing to sell said info to the highest bidder (not that kind, Jimmy). My wife clowned on the picture as well. She pointed out my "super nip" that made an appearance through 3 shirts and laughingly said that even though i had been stoked to meet ken for the last 2 weeks, he puts his arm around my friend b/c I'm the smelly kid. Love, like the truth, hurts every now and then.
  14. It was awesome to meet Ken tonight and he couldn't have been cooler. Booth 416 across from cgc if you're at the con. My buddy and I bothered him for way too long but it was a great time. I'm already enjoying my new Todd t-shirt and looking forward to the next arc, sounds hilarious!
