My name is Trey, I collected as a kid back in the early to mid '90s and just started back in about a year ago. My favorite has always been Spider-Man and I'm working on a full ASM run now. I'm also currently working on X-Men and hope to one day have complete runs of all the big Marvel titles. I have also started picking up bronze horror books and have a few moderns I get every month. As my username suggests I'm also big into technology and work as an IT Admin. Comics and new tech; why couldn't I have picked cheaper hobbies?

Hey all, I did some searching using the list of Silver Age dealers here and was able to pick up a nice Rawhide Kid #3 from Superworld Comics. I plan on giving this to my father for Christmas; hopefully he doesn't buy one before that, but as hard as these are to find I'd say I'm pretty safe! Now just a #1 to go for his complete run!!!

Same. Completed 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Probably got 20% complete on 4. Same here too. I'm only about 5-6 hours into V and can't say I love it yet but I am enjoying it. The driving is vastly improved which helps a lot.

(thumbs u That is definitely something to be proud of, thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks bro! Glad to see people are still interested in my quest to be a sick OCD Marvel comic book collector. Heck ya! This is one of the coolest threads here.

2nd batch of X-Men books purchased from Art. Books came just as fast and looked just as nice as last time.

That's a nice looking 3.0. I'd really like to find a raw copy but I might consider bidding on that and just cracking it open. Thanks for the heads up!

I appreciate that. Your copies are nice! I've seen a couple 1's for sale online here and there but they were graded copies out of my price range. I still have never seen a #3 for sale.

Anybody here have a lower grade copy of Rawhide Kid #1 or #3? My father has been working on a run now for a few years and is down to those 2 issues so I'm trying to help him hunt them down. Please PM me if you have one or if you know any place I should look!

Got a great looking raw silver Captain America from Rube. Very quick shipping and sent tracking info immediately. Would buy from anytime!

Very nice books from Rupp. Fast, very secure shipping. Even got a cool little bonus! Thanks!!!!

Purchased 3 nice silver age X-Men books. They were shipped immediately and came packed very securely. Thanks for the great books Art! Hope to buy from you again.

Thanks Sharon for cutting through the horse manure. Only the CG posse could make something so spiteful for no reason. Again. (thumbs u And that was after he posted this just 2 days ago

yeah, just saw that. How convenient.

If you care to see my reasoning you can check out the PIF thread.

I want to change my vote from yes to no also.

Great guy! Sent me an awesome freebie in the same series I bought. Super fast shipping and very secure packaging. Hope to do some future business! Thanks Mike!!!

2. What if he posts his offer, someone takes that offer & he comes on the thread and says he's not going to ship the items? Again, I think people would understand. It's not a robot or computer program dealing with absolutes. I don't think anyone would be demanding them to continue under the circumstances. The thread would basically stop until someone restarted it with an offer. And if the new person was a spoon and demanded they ship the offer, even though the discussion is going on and the thread has stopped. Well just like we have with the regular PL you nominate people and when there is a grey area it's discussed. This is not new. So to take it further. Say they did ship their offer. Then boardie "C" would be on the list until both boardie "D" and boardie "A" took them off. When there are multiple parties involved, a single problem child affects multiple parties and clearly impacts how people view subsequent "transactions" & responsibilities. I'm not disagreeing with the common sense conclusions that others would reach but they are not based on the rules. If the PIF rules don't factor into reaching the common sense result - the above two scenarios show where one problem child creates more problem children & keeping a lid on that would be difficult IF the consensus is that someone can break a cornerstone thread rule, where then do you draw the line where boardie "A" is committed to fulfilling his obligation if you're not going to use the rules? So once someone is wronged, they don't need to follow the rules, band-aids are applied & the show goes on... Focusing on your response to scenario 2 - how is this new "claimant" now a spoon when he's looking for the same resolution boardie "A" is seeking? He wants an offer that he claimed. Why is the first damaged party given empowerment and a subsequent damaged party less important? I think they're both being spoons. BTW - I'm not disagreeing with PIF offenders being on the PL. I just think the PIF dynamic brings new perspectives on rule enforcement that aren't similar to PL enforcement & that's worth discussing. I think once the first person is wronged, the whole thing stops and discussion about what to do starts. I think you make a valid point though that maybe not all of the discussion be contained in the PIF thread and then a final decision brought to the PL board. Perhaps the PIFers start a discussion and then if deemed necessary by the group the situation is brought over to PL with a summary of events and links to find the original posts?

Most people wait a week unless they really want the current offer then they wait the 24 hours Most of the good stuff doesn't last long. I assume A would move forward with their offering knowing that C will be put on the PL. I received quite a few PMs with people offering to send me things because they found out I got hosed. Actually, right now there are multiple people offering Slym their copies of the Killing Joke because he was bummed he didn't claim a PIF. So I feel personA would be ok with moving forward. This. Slym mentioned he wanted to read the Killing Joke. I'd actually like to read it myself so I offered to pick a copy up and pass it on to him after I read it. Another generous boardie offered to send me an extra copy he had so I wouldn't have to go buy one. I'd have to say a vast majority of the PIF members are good people. So when a bad apple steps in and screws someone over it's a big slap in the face. I guess if you all really don't want us PIFers to announce a thief amongst the boards we can just keep it to ourselves and wait for him to journey over to the marketplace to screw someone else over on a "real" transaction. Not to sound corny but I tend to think of the CGC boards as a whole that should all watch each other's backs and not separate clicks who don't care what happens in other threads; even though they are too blind to see it CAN affect them too. Sorry for the peace and love rant there I'm done

My vote would be just C. but... I think there are enough good, intelligent people in the PIF thread to come to a consensus as a whole on whether or not to nominate someone for the PL list. The thread as a whole runs relatively smoothly. Sure there are snags here and there but most things work themselves out. Outright theft, which has (in my opinion) occurred in this particular situation is rare so it's not like the PL list will be over run with PIF members. I'll finish it for you. "My vote would be just C. but.....that's not what the PIF rules call for and both A & C should be added to the PL." Anyways, that's the challenge with this type of multi-party transaction where sometimes applying the rules won't work the way most would want it to. I don't have a strong opinion either way, I think you guys could handle your business over there or make use of the PL. Out of curiosity, how does the blue rule work? Nah, I finished my but... below that. Which I agree with you, the PIF guys can handle their own business. If something like that happened, PIF would come to a stop and decide as a group how to proceed. I would think as a participant (and maybe I'm wrong) that it would be decided as a group that all parties involved would receive something and Mr. C. should go to the PL list. I think we are all smart enough to see that the rule you quoted would not get "A" put on the PL list in light of the situation. Then again we are just dumb donkeys (sorry, I had to throw that in)

That's freakin' sweet! I may have to try to hunt something like that down.

Ducky, What is that display made of? And is it just how the pic looks or does it light up?

(thumbs u My wife is good at finding deals too; just never on anything that has to do with my collecting!

Sorry if I came off like I didn't believe you, I just figured I was looking at the wrong thing or you mistyped the price. But, dang I think that's the best deal I've seen in the forums yet! Can I borrow your wife to go shopping with me?
