I'm glad you took my post with a grain of salt, Sid. After all, it was meant for the most part to be humorous. I would like to ad though, you and I and others have known for the past two years that BA horror prices have been on the rise in HG, and all we needed was this mesage board, right? From a personal standpoint, I don't want the mainstream to "catch on" to BA horror; especially if all they are interested in is "value." I saw how that kind of action pretty much ruined the pre-code horror market (for the horror fan) in the late 1990's. Wait for Doug Sulipa's new list in a couple of days. He said that there will be around 2000 books with 1000 of them being Manitoba copies. Says that 30-40% will be bronze age horror!

He knows quality when he sees it... Jim Were you scared as a little tot when you read the story initially? Never read it as child... Jim Where you scared when you read it last night?

Whoah...an Unexpected 202 wasn't posted and you decided to poke your head into here!

You only looking for raw horror 100 pagers?

It depends what you consider "lenient". CGC has always been lenient on production flaws and the nature of the 100 pagers is that the spine will almost never be "perfect". There will always seem to be some off-centering, small bindery tears, wavy spine, staple rubbing, poking through the cover...etc. CGC won't really knock it down for those types of wear. However, don't expect like some have learned that they will ignore creases, tears, or surface wear. Of the 4 9.8s that I currently own, I would imagine that only the Tarzan 235 CGC 9.8 would be universally accepted as being "worthy" of its grade regardless of one's personal preferences regarding QP...etc. It's in the CGC gallery so you can tell that it's a very nice copy. Since I've probably submitted more of these books than any of the regular board members, I've gotten a good hang of what CGC looks for but I do get surprised at times. Luckily, it's to my benefit but I have taken my lumps such as the 7.0s and 8.0s that I got with my inital "larger" submission. But...to be honest, other than one year when I got a bunch of nice horror 100 pagers from Terry's comics at SD, I haven't had much luck finding them at most conventions.

Such as?

I agree with this BOC, except the 100 pagers, those are tough in HG, I didnt see all of Sid's haul, but I didnt see a HG 100 pager BA horror book in Pov's possession, I know I didnt get one. Between the 3 of us, I'm pretty sure we scoured the show floor pretty thouroughly for BA horror. Unless Ewert nabbed em on Thursday, or they changed hands between dealers. Actually, I have them all!

Greggy's girl returns for her purse... Jim You gonna respond to the other PM?

That's a great cover! Must add to my want list...Thanks! Jim Shouldn't you be working on another list first...jerk?

What's with the QP?

It's a 99! OK - I made a mistake - it is a 99 - not a 92. That was my moistake but you know what I was saying. So - did you sell me an HOS 99 back last year that I did not get? I thought I sold you one because I thought that I used to 3 copies and now only have 2 in my collection! It is not here. It obviously was missing in the mail. Please reimburse me with another copy.
