  1. ya Shazam #28 is extremely scarce. 1-25 aren't tough to find though. took me about a year and a half to find a Shazam #28 in 9.6+

     

    wow that Shazam 28 is going to skyrocket for sure. beat up copies are hard to find of that one, let alone a decent copy.

     

    In 2015/2016 look for

     

    Spider-man 194 (despite high census numbers, and lots of hoarded copies)

    Daredevil 131 (wasn't speculated on like 168)

    Star Wars 1,42,68,107,81 (especially once 2016 rolls around)

    Marvel premiere #15, first Iron Fist remains affordable despite hollywood rumors...

     

    Also All the bronze DC still has to catch up with Marvel.

     

    Books like Batman 227 and 232 have lots of room to grow. DC bronze in general has room for growth.

     

    Ms Marvel #1 is also still quite affordable, the whole run is solid really.

     

     

    Bullseye Black Cat. anything Star Wars and boba Fett related, and potentially Ms Marvel.

     

    Warner Bros could have Lightning in a bottle with Shazam/Black Adam and Rock... reminds me of when they announced that RDJ would play Iron Man, look for Warner bros attempting to tap into that RDJ/Iron man charm with Rock, because he is a funny guy.

     

    my 2 cents

     

    lol

    A VF copy sold in $300 so thats easy like $3,500

  2. here´s a new non paying bidder to add to the list . Ebay user :nhaupt02

    I accepted his offer and 15 min later i received this :

     

    "Unfortunately due to a sale falling though I will have insufficient funds to pay for this item. I am extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I would greatly appreciate it if you could end the sale. Thank you."

     

    He buy things without funds , so we have to suffer the consequences... terrible and unresponsive buyer

     

     

    they did ask nicely and quickly at least-- not ideal but better than some interactions you can get. Not sure if I would block based on this but might as well.

     

    Yes at least he was quick so maybe he brought it by mistake... As a buyer i am always sure to have funds before purchasing something but i guess we all make mistakes .

  4. I'm going to throw the nomination up now and if by some miracle Matt receives the pulps tomorrow I will retract the poll and publish a retraction and apology.

     

    Ok. I have spent the last month as an impartial, independent council looking into this matter. I knew nothing of Robert Beerbohm, and had never heard his name mentioned until the situation with Matthew. I spoke with several boardies regarding his history and on three separate occasions requested input from other members. Some came forward and I spoke with them. I also used good ole Google-Fu to track down whatever I could on the Internet. I am going to focus on things which are not in dispute and ask that in any discussion other boardies focus on the same.

     

    The situation started with Matthew42383, who paid $3,600 USD for 341 comics (pulps) which were never mailed and no refund given even after numerous communications. Mr. Beerbohm came to the boards on 11/29/2013 (http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7211165#Post7211165) and assured that Matthew would receive his pulps. He has not and has not received a refund. This issue is now outstanding close to 8 months.

     

    A second issue which has come to light is that apparently there is still a large, unpaid sum owed to Jean Bails, Jerry Bails widow, owed by Mr. Beerbohm. Her statement from Facebook (which has since been deleted) Jean Bails "I should probably add here that some refuse to buy from Bob because he owes me a lot of money for comics he sold from Jerry's small collection. I have given Bob some financial grace/leeway because of the enormous problems he has faced. The only way he can pay me back is by selling comics and memorabelia (sp?). So a boycott of Bob only serves to hurt me as well." These are the same comics he routinely refers to about how he never wanted to be involved in their sale but how he was basically dragged into selling them, then he sold them and kept the money, which he will (hopefully) eventually pay off .

     

    So we have at issue 2 large transactions here where he has not followed through (one being a $3.600 purchase order and the second being a big $ consignment deal which he apparently has still all these years later not paid off, even though the books were paid for.) His M/O appears to be the same anytime anyone questions him or points out his defects.

    1) Mention his history in comics

    2) Apply for a hardship exemption because he has fallen on hard times for personal surgeries and the like.

    3) Mention what his daughter is going through

    4) Dismiss any complaints because his e-Bay store has a 99.7% good feedback or blame the complainers as “haters” or “competitors”

    5) Solicit readers to buy something from his store. (Someone wrote him once and called this “Beerbohm Fatigue”)

     

    There are dozens of other issues, all of which if true, paint a very sad picture. However as I stated, I am leaving those out because I only want to focus on the most egregious actions as well as actions that are not at issue.

     

    Given that it is the holidays and many people are with their families I am going to let the poll run for 3 weeks instead of the normal 2 to allow everyone to get their vote in. This is a blind poll and I ask that everyone look into the issue themselves and vote with their head and not their heart.

     

    On that note:

     

    Small word , remmember all the drama when i complained because a seller wasn´t shipping my books ? : BLB Comics -Robert Beerbohm
