  1. yup, I guess you didn't sense my jest with insane gremlin...
  2. Wow, I never knew that he was part of Fantazia. I remember back in 1988 I had ordered an ASM # 6 and #15 in NM with the money I made bagging groceries over the summer It was supposed to be my first big purchase, actually I guess it was since I did spend all of my money. I saved and saved to buy those books. In the end they never arrived I refused to buy comics through the mail after that. It's taken me 22 years to start buying comics in the mail again and I still don't have a #6 or #15. At least now I know who it was From one Spidey fan to another... That SUPA SUX! (thumbs u
  3. It makes me laugh EVERY time! Love 'em or Hate 'em the boards wouldn't be the same without JC, even if he is an arrogant lil' pill...
  4. The hell wit you guys, I store my slabs in D rain!
  5. Come on, really? Do the Library of Congress's accelerated aging tests performed in high temperatures mean nothing to you? This thread has some of the worst advice I've ever seen on the CGC forums and that's saying something. There are three musts in comic storage: COOL, RELATIVELY DRY, DARK. These are not hard to remember. These three things are more important than the "mylar vs. polybag" debate or the "shiny side vs. dull side of the backboard" debate. This is because HEAT, HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO UV RAYS DESTROY COMICS. Polluted air also destroys comics. You can alleviate the effects of pollution by using boxes made of Microchamber paper or by inserting Microchamber paper into the books themselves. To the original poster: Don't store your books in the attic, or in the :censored: basement. Store them in an interior closet in an air-conditioned room in the house where there is not a lot of variation in the three musts. If the books are junk that you don't care about, then why ask the question? Just set the damned books on fire and save yourself the storage problem. There, you have the best advice you're going to get on the topic. Listen to it or ignore it, but my work is done here. For the love of christ, now I understand why Sal is starting nonsense threads with allcaps and no punctuation. Not that his threads before had any great comic topics being discussed, but at least they were written in proper English. Look what you've driven him to. And me, for that matter - you've made me end a sentence with a preposition, I'm so worked up! Dang FFB, why don't you say what you really mean...
  6. The thread that will never die! Ajax should be grateful, I don't think I have ever seen a poster with so little posts be this infamous.
  7. It would be interesting if one of those printers kept the original plates of a famous book and had a stack of old paper started making copies how would that effect our hobby? That video is only 3 years after Hulk 181...
  8. Funny but true. those were my exact thoughts.
  9. It's better to be thought a fool than to open your wallet and remove all doubt. +1 ................ BIGTIME

(thumbs u Won't let you order it, says it's out of stock. well if that's the case I can always netflix it and wait til I buy one online. No need to be in a rush. Netflix doesn't carry it.

  13. It just shows how greedy the other stores are! $5 or $10 markup for store costs and employees etc. etc. anything above that is PURE GREED... $18 markup??? COME ON!
  14. Thanks for the link. I just might have to pony the $$$ up for this. (thumbs u
  15. I'm working on the same run (but not as high grade on the earlier ones)...and need 12 issues, including AF #15. Good luck on that AF 15,... I ain't gonna lie, I got lucky as hell on mine.
  16. slowly but surely I am chugging along with my AF15/ASM Full Run... I just picked up the 1st Sandman yesterday at the post office being mailed from Canada(ASM 4 CGC 7.0)... I have SIX issues left until full completion (without going into any kind of debt) ASM 1 (in around cgc 6.5 condition I'll need to "save up" for this), ASM 3 (looking for a nice 7.0), ASM 12 (8.0 minimum) , ASM 13 (8.0 minimum), ASM 14 (8.0 minimum) and ASM 15 (8.0 minimum)... After almost 25 years, I am really enjoying gaining this collection. Just to think when I joined the boards I only had 129–up and no issues under 129! These boards ROCK!
  17. HUGE KUDOS to Andre (campued1010). I got home to see my sweet ASM #4 CGC 7.0 delivered by FedEx from the Big "C"!!! OH CANADA!... Seriously dude, threw all you have been through over the past months you ROCK!
  18. I see the intro class '02 some of the most relevant, just because they have stuck it out the longest and were the first to cover so many of the threads that have been created dozens of times over. Anyway an opinion is like an azz everybody's got one, so carry on...
