This guy was walking around at heroes. If you think he is a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed in the videos, he is even a bigger POS in person. Guy is a classic Narcissist. Zero ability to accept any blame for his actions, blames others, no empathy, and creates these videos to feed his supply from a bunch of other d-bags that watch them. Case in point just look at these videos where the dude gets kicked out of TWO shops for trying to sell to customers or buy a customer's books: Response from the owner of Basement Comics: "Customer was one of the biggest goofs I’ve ever seen. Came in with a camera strapped to his chest trying to seem important. Then never asked if it was ok to film, never introduced himself, nothing, just self entitled young goof, so I started messing with him right away. Let’s call him Strap On. So ol Strap On had a backpack full of common modern graded books and I simply said not interested, so he got mad that I didn’t make him look good for his stupid channel that nobody smart would ever watch. Then I tell Strap On I just moved and still don’t have tags on anything and to just ask, and he got mad. Then he asks about a 1st Spider Gwen which you can’t touch for less than $500 in high grade, so I give him a price, he got mad. Then Strap On pulled the number one cardinal sin of comic shops, he tried to sell his bookbag full of modern graded books to my customers in my store. Big Strap On claims to be an expert , guess not. So I kicked him out, and he got mad again, so he’s leaving this review. This is what local stores have to deal with when the comic con comes to town. You know you’re trash if the last thing you say on the way out is “This is going on YouTube”? , I hope so, so everyone can see how stupid and childish this guy is! The nerve, guys like this is exactly why I didn’t want to open back up to the public. Ps- Now after a few days of research I’ve learned this guy is a YouTuber who thinks he knows more about the comic industry then the vets, and is a mark for our local competition, so now it makes sense that he was probably told all about us and was sent here by the goof zone. We are an old school style comic shop, we actual collect comics and have been in the business for almost 30 years. We don’t buy or sell online, we don’t do overpriced comic cons run by goofs, we don’t watch or need hipster advice, our prices and selection are the best in town, and we are not CGC marks, we are real comic collectors and have a real comic shop, not a goof zone for goofs like this!!! We collected comics before the internet existed and not a single other comic “dealer” in this valley, has a personal collection back stock like The Basement, the store he loves came out of nowhere and has no respect or credibility amongst comic legends in this town. Dudes like this are cancers to any hobby or business. Instead of listening to the long time dealers he listens to and gets tricked by dudes nobody knows or listens to. According to his channel and his reviews, he’s just a bitter little smuck who probably got ripped off one time cuz he doesn’t know anything, and now he’s after the comic business. I’ll be looking for your YouTube video, and I’ll make sure to make a rebuttal video of my own. We have an entire filming studio and Pro Wrestling arena in the back of the shop, plus my security footage, the part where he runs so fast out the front door when I came out from the counter was priceless, we can make a hilarious reenactment!!! Gotta find a little balding hunchback to play Strap On, anybody interested?" Another YouTubers experience at Basement Comics: Amazing the difference when you aren't a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed. @DR.X and @blazingbob made great points about Mylar and taking a book out of the bag. Returning 5.500 in restored books is what can happen when you don't: There are countless other videos out there where this person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed bag films himself trying to fleece people or "just a low ball" as he tries to call it and then gets pissed at them when they don't do what HE WANTS. He also has this theory that there are "collectors" setup at shows who will pay over GPA for his books but he has yet find these plentiful unicorns and instead is offended that dealers would offer less than GPA for HIS books (while of course just throwing a low ball offer their way.) I was appalled when I started watching his videos (and haven't until I saw this thread.) @blazingbob is a great dealer, enjoyed buying from him at Motor City from 2015-2019ish. It royally pissed me off that he took shots at a dealer for being a insufficiently_thoughtful_person himself. @FlyingDonut 's advice is good. Just don't let him anywhere near your booth.

Ouch. Reports of between 100 and 200 million dollars burned in flames. The part that really strikes me is the report that they could have actually SAVED money by cancelling it. I don't think anyone could have predicted it would be THIS bad. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2023/8/18/hei2m8v7zbsb8x6bcpq1h84yuct697 https://hypebeast.com/2023/7/warner-bros-dc-comics-the-flash-loses-200-million-usd-worst-box-office-flip-superhero-film-history https://screenrant.com/the-flash-box-office-200m-loss-cancelled/ https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/in-the-cruelest-twist-of-irony-the-flash-would-have-lost-less-money-if-it-went-straight-to-streaming/

@mycomicshop : Loved dropping books off at Heroes to you guys!! Saved a lot of time and money doing that versus shipping. I see you are going to be at Baltimore, but any other shows as well over the next 3-5 months? I would like to drop more slabs off to you from that collection

x1 This is really cool! I have something signed by Eisner in my collection but not Vin Sullivan. This is awesome!

Site was hacked and repointed at some very "adult" entertainment. All the auctions ending last night were postponed but I was busy oogling and giggling with @lizards2. Recap of us last night:

I should have tagged you above, my bad. Excellent buy! I looked at that book for awhile tonight but comiclink was just offering something better than comics tonight....

@Comcav @Ricksneatstuff

incredible books!!!!!

I'll get this party started! 1 of each! Kiddos will love these! I'll PM you for the personalization.

I love the title of this thread! That's grea, GLWTS!!!

@electricprune

Bob Kane pieces are TOUGH for the reasons mentioned above. The sig looks authentic but that doesn't mean much about the actuall art. My advice: Get it authenticated. If it fails authentication and the dealer still doesn't do returns, then he really isn't a reputable dealer after all.

@Incredible Pulp @onlyweaknesskryptonite @Jesse-Lee This is a good price if you are looking for a filler copy of the first Bizzaro, especially if you can find the missing wraps (or a coverless copy) to marry
