Jaydog, even though you dissed my BB28 with claims of photography tricks, notice I did not take the bait. You only like to reference data when it works in your favor. While debating the value of some 10 cent DC keys I presented the CGC census data to back my point. In that case, when the data did not work in your favor, you dismissed it claiming something about it not being relevant. I've never "dissed" anybody's book. That makes all the differnce in the world in our approaches actually. I am not attempting to make people feel their books are "inferior" for any particular reason. There is a buyer for every book and budget. I alluded that the differences in the "appearances" of your book and the other one at auction could be the result of the scanner (again, not that anyone can divine the "page QUALITY" of a book from a picture). I actually complimented your book earlier in the thread. I suppose you missed that. And I don't recall dismissing any data points you provided. I don't need to do that. There is a counter data point for any one you can muster. That is basically the entire point. It's random and erratic. Hence, once again, why there is no consistent or quantifiable alleged "premium" that can be proven based solely on the so-called "PQ" that CGC decides to put on a label on any given day. (thumbs u -J. Jaydog, I recall seeing your copy of an FF 48 in a different thread (nice copy BTW). It was a White Pager and you commented that you bought it because the colors really popped. The fact that the colors popped is a reflection of the preservation. Going hand in hand with that is the fact that it was also a White Pager. A white pager = better preservation = other enhanced qualities = more attractive book = higher demand = higher price. I think you are a closet White Page lover ! Bob, this is not always the case. In general, page quality can give us insight into how the book was stored but I've seen books with cream to off white pq. where the colors on the cover make it impossible to guess what the quality of the pages are inside. Some Savannah Romance books are a good example of this- and a large number of Savannahs were not kept in the best places for preservation purposes. I think it's safe to say that the Savannahs with c-ow pq. were not the best preserved ones. And you know I'm not a fan of SA books with cream to ow pq. There is an AF15 0.5 for sale right now on the boards that has Off-White to White pages. Hard to believe this book had "better preservation" given its overall state even though it has nice PQ. :shrug: *Note - this is not a reflection upon the seller or the book itself. Haha that AF 15 0.5 is my book and I agree with you 100%!

someone buy mine

How I wish Frank will appear in DD next season - he would be perfect for that show.

You don't watch a torrent, you watch the downloaded file that was fetched via your torrent client, which in all likelihood is an avi or mp4 file (opened with media player, vlc or whatever) I watched it on couchtuner.eu and you can just stream from this website - no need to download.

I watched it and it wasn't bad. I'm sure the typical board member will enjoy it but keep in mind I'm sure the demographic they are looking for isn't the typical boardie - this show is geared for teen age girls mostly and I think it will do very well with that demographic.

That's always been a favorite cover and book for me. Scorpion was criminally underused as a villain, he scored very few appearances for as cool as he was. #29 is also a favorite cover and a great second appearance. Then you don't see him again until #145-146 if my memory is correct. Way too few appearances. He did appear in Cap 122 before ASM 145-146 - not sure if there are any other appearances - but he was/is a very underused villain. Yep, momentarily forgot about the Cap even though I owned a copy once upon a time. But even with the Cap we're talking about five appearances in ~12 years and very few since. I think the (inferior) new costume had more appearances during the Copper Age. + 1 the new costume is ridiculous! Some things are better left unchanged.

Bought an EoSV # 2 from Mike and I couldn't be happier. Very fast and secure shipping. Very smooth transaction.

Not a high grade copy but it will do as an undercopy. The Scorpion is my favorite villain and the price was right so what the heck! (if anyone has issue 20 in CGC 2.0 to 4.0 let me know)

Bought a nice ASM 20 from Phil and the whole transaction was flawless. Good communication with fast and secure shipping.

Starts tonight

Thanks. Took me a few years to get the CGC set together but well worth it. And I'm always looking for Trimpe Godzilla pages

I have had this piece about 11 years but have never showed it here. Seems appropriate to show it now with Herb Trimpe's passing.

John bought a nice run of Green Lanterns from me. The transaction was flawless!

I am selling 29 issues of Savage Sword of Conan - cheap - basically $1.00 per book. Here is the link http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8604784#Post8604784

OK since I've been getting a load of PMs about it, the 9.8 was mine. I sold it to a boardie who may reveal himself if he chooses to, or not I got $3600 for it clear (check) / no fees, so that's as if it went for $4300 on ebay before ebay & paypal fees, give or take $50. Just waiting for the check to come in the mail and the deal is done Good luck to the next one, hope whoever is waiting for theirs to come back gets a 9.8 and does a happy dance like I did (thumbs u Great book but the prices are INSANE on it

I for one hope that we have seen the last of Fish. Her story line turned sideways when she ended up underground with The Dollmaker.

it looks really good what brought the grade down? There is a little distributor's spray on the back and bottom left corner of the cover has a slight nick and back cover along the bottom has a very minor nick - so I'm guessing that's the reason but otherwise it is a really great copy!

I have had a raw copy for years and finally added a CGC copy.

cheap...I sold a 4.0 for 15995 this weekend...

Not too long ago, someone wrote in this thread if you wait to pay FMV for this book, you will never own this book (you can scroll through the pages to see who deserves the credit) but he is 100% correct.

At this point in time, I think it's fairly safe to say that this book is as safe as it gets for speculating. That is not to say that there may be some market corrections along the way, but in the long run you will come out ahead owning this book. Many have waited for the price to come down to jump in, but it keeps going up and up and many are left standing on the side of the road.

This week's pick up!

I agree 100%. SSOC must have the nicest set of covers in any comic title ever published. The painted covers are amazing. I love these two. Those are very cool! I think I need to scan some of my favorites and show them off.
