  1. Thanks! Some faint tiding brought it down, but I feel it is one of the finer fines around.
  2. Different. Price increased by $50
  3. He's working on something better http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-New-Mutants-98-Feb-1991-Marvel-1st-print-1st-Dead-Pool-and-Domino-/172074664305?hash=item2810730171:g:6jYAAOSwKtlWpIrn
  4. No entry-level, low paying opportunities, Gabe? McDonalds, etc?
  5. Bronty I understand where you are coming from. Ideally I would have wanted it to stay somewhat contained when this first started and not have threats of lawsuits etc. so that Mike would be compliant and discuss what happened. That ship has sailed. As to what "We" can do? There isn't much unless someone wants to bankroll this. Investigations are expensive. So are court cases. If the idea is to investigate the auctions, then someone has to get Heritage to disclose the buyers, then those people have to be contacted, give statements, have those statements run down and checked, etc. and maybe at that point there is enough evidence to go forward with a civil case. And that is of course if Heritage is willing to disclose (I doubt they are) I advise the cooling down because it allows for people to become calmer and more ready/open to speak. I highly doubt anyone is going to come forward and say "yea I did it because Mike asked me to" if there are people on here posting that we need to round up every co-conspirator, kick their doors in and try them for wire fraud and then sue them into the third moon. This doesn't need to be bankrolled at the class action level. All you need to find is someone willing to take the case. I suggest starting here. http://classactioncentral.com/ There is ample evidence for a solid case based on the admission alone. Mike's privileges against self incrimination are irrelevant here. There are many ways to skin a cat without Mikes testimony or cooperation. In fact, his admission is all that's really needed which he has given. Why are you defending wrong behavior in such NON-OBJECTIVE fashion by downplaying case viability? Good luck certifying a class on the "facts" presented.
  6. Yeah he mentioned a couple people I've done deals with before so hopefully it doesn't go amiss. Did you follow up on those mentions with those who were mentioned?
  7. No we aren't . We are paying to support forward payment of benefits that NO OTHER COMPANY in the history of the world has had to pay. This ruling was made by Congress, and the two leaders of the Congressional committee who pushed this through represent Memphis and Louisville, homes of the shipping hubs of Federal Express and UPS. Such a coincidence. When Congress kills the USPS, and rates to ship things quadruple - and they will - I do hope that everyone who about the USPS remembers what they had. Yup. This. 1) The USPS is entirely self-funded. As in, it receives no taxpayer money. 2) In an effort to kill the USPS, Congress passed a law requiring the agency to pre-fund pension obligations, as in -- set aside vast amounts of money for pension obligations that won't come due until decades (literal decades) in the future. As was noted, no other private company (or even, government agency) has ever been forced to do this. Its financial shortfall is entirely an accounting fiction -- an attempt by several in Congress to bankrupt the agency so that FedEx/UPS/Amazon/Uber can then absorb it, jack rates and gain exclusive entree to its logistics network (which, btw, is second to none). Not 100% correct. USPS pays no real estate or personal property taxes to states or localities. Billions per year that are absorbed by taxpayers (just not federal taxes).
  8. Some variant chasers might disagree, but I don't know if that's an affinity for the artist or a love of manufactured collectibles.
  9. The Hulk 1 4.5 was worth what I paid for it. And though it may cost less if I sell it, it will be worth that then.
  10. Sold a DD 1 to Jeremy. Great transaction all around and a pleasure to deal with!
  11. I'm holding you to your word buddy. You better be right! Seriously though thanks for the update. I think that because of the delay my subscription service pulled it from there subscription list. I've sent Matt an email to hopefully confirm. IMO, no way they're letting this one end.
  12. Take it easy, guy. Seriously, I was trying to inject some humor into this thread..... In order to keep the ball rolling, as it has apparently fell flat. Much like Seth Meyers, you are unfunny
  13. But what about bloodlust and vengeance? They will not be sated.
  14. Issue 19, starting volume 3, comes out next month. Edit: volume 4 starts. Vol 3 trade comes out.
