Speculating on the possible storyline - Bruce Jones recent run on Hulk v2 #34 and up...

Yes that would be a first!

GReat - got the list and looking it over. what I can't find in my treasure trove...I'll dig up l8r...

You want Bronze Defenders? Now were talking. I just bought a ton off Donut a month ago and now have multiples of certain issues. Or I could actually post them and get you to buy something off me on eBay

about a case...if you were talking Care Bears or Smurfs...well then ...maybe half a case..

oh and grampa howlett...not to be confused with grampa from the Munsters

OK - Origin 1 - 1st appearance of Rose!, Dog, James Howlett, Daddy Logan, Mommie Howlett, Daddy Howlett

Go to bed and rest up...you are comparing the first app of Morbius (because he is still so popular, um , yes that vampire summer flop with Wesley Snipes, Morbius II was it? On no..wait... that's BLADE....) with the Origin of Wolverine, a 4th tier Marvel character that no one could care less about...you are right again and I bow in deference to your analysis of the comic market. For all that believe Origin 1 is tanking, please sell your copies to MHC for $25 just so it goes away in the cBG ads from his buy list..

Well I have these dealer friends who were Vampire freaks back in the 70s with about 3 (maybe 6, yeah that;s the ticket... ) longboxes of hi grade ASM 101, sitting on the first app of Morbius, because they are waiting for their Master to return to the land of the living and call on them ...there will be more 9.8s of this book guaranteed and it is foolish for anyone to drop this amount of $$$ on this speculation fodder and greggy has sold his soul to the devil to sell at that price....that's all I gotta say about that

I'll believe it when you scan us a copy of the payment and make sure the scan is chockful of pertinent financial information like cc#'s and names...Identity theft can be a fun thing to run with, even if you are stuck pretending you are GREGGY!

Bruce - I don't think there are any Spider-Girl fans...

Come on over and we'll go pick out some nice books at the local stores!

Just a thought or two: 1) Shipping damage, improper packaging and cost. I've taken some time to instruct the seller on how to pack with a generic message that is included on all my online payments and emails. I 've inquired about over charging for shipping. I direct them to the www.usps.com calculator. More ofthen than not I have the handling come into play and the cost of shipping materials. Last I checked boxes and peanuts are reusable...some are just plain arrogant and say that their time is worth money and that I'm lucky to be paying $8.00 over postage because he would otherwise be getting paid $20+ an hour??? 2) Insane Price Spikes and Drops (NM DD 131 - $40 at shows, and $500 online). You could always wait out the spike. You've had alll before the movie announcement to get this book. If you didn't already, can't you just wait until way after the movie. No big deal. Collectors must have patience. Besides, you at no time soon will you find a NM DD 131 at any con, small or large. what I'm seeing at some shows is that dealers who are online savvy are starting to charge ebay influenced prices and are no longer into the "Let's haggle" game. They act as if it is a seller's market and whatever they say is what goes. You as the petty buyer, regardless of big bucks, is deemed an annoying bargain hunter, out to steal food from the mouths of your kids 3) Over-Grading compared to Seeing the Comic Personally. For those like scottish who can't grade, or those like me who can't recognize restoration unless there's sctoch tape present, this is a moot point. Or for those who buy CGC comics for the number alone... 4) Price Resistance to "Comic Show Book Flippers". If I get this point correctly, you are right. The same person who buys a comic at one show for $100 and tries to peddle it for $200 at the next show will be shunned as everyone has already probably made an offer on same book lower than what the flipper bought it for, knows who he is and the details around the sale of the book. In this aspect, it benefits the buyer and eBay helps the flipper/seller 5) Scammers (vast majority can be avoided). this is relative. smaller chances at a con because of the limitd population and frequency of scum in a certain area at one time. However, you will never convince those who have had 10s of 1000s of great transactions and only a handful of bad ones.

The Pro is Ennis at his misogynistic peak...but the issue was hilarious

Where did wod shavings come from? Entymology is so interesting sometimes...

"Excelsior!"

I'll always be your DADDY, g - don't you forget it!

actually my whole post was a joke..maybe I'm losing my edge

I was 6 years old...and in first grade...couldn't tell time back then...not sure if I can tell time correctly now Thanks! Dazzler rocked anyway and should have been a 70's Roller Girl...ahh Boogie Nights....maybe I'm thinking Dagger from Cloak and Dagger?

The Bronze Age of Comics began with the advent of sexy female heroes starring in their own titles...Dazzler #1, Savage She Hulk # 1, Spider-Woman # 1, Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) # 1 These are the only comics worth looking at from the 70's....

Bruce, Since everyone is doing a total 180 and kissin your @$$, maybe I should pucker up too. Just kiddin. The complete return policy is very good. If a buyer decides to take you up on the CGC part of the return policy, after he's had a chance to look it over for 7 days and return if not satisfied, I'd even go so far to say, "Bite Me! Yo Sorry Wanker!", not that I'd do that...often...but I'm speaking as if I was you. Your policy does indeed rock! But I can't leave well enough alone and must throw in a bit of criticism. If I were you that "complete" policy is so long....on the books that you post, I would take forever reading each and everyone. Maybe you could post the bulk of your policy in your eBay me page and just direct folks there with a link like "for my complete shipping and return policy...click here"

I wish this Comic Court had Julie Strain presiding over it, much like her very popular show on that ...umm...cable channel...

Hi Bruce, The main issue with your guarantee is that you are getting back a slabbed book for resale which you end up the winner no matter what, while the buyer is out grading fees, time and postage. You may be out the initial sales fee but regardless of the grade, I believe that you will always make more on a slabbed book than an ungraded one in the same exact condition. In effect, by raising your grades slightly, (I'm not saying that you do, but if...) you essentially just had someone to get the book graded for you for free (maybe cost of postage to send it to the buyer in the first place and get it sent back, but no other costs on your end...) Kev the mev is right...stand by your own grades. Offer a guarantee only if you can refund the money ASAP if there is a problem. And the CGC grade is not the end all to customer satisfaction. some off-cut cover books may be in great shape and grade high but some folks hate that stuff totally. This is easily countered by your nice scans however and those people should just avoid bidding on your book if this was the case. Here's a What if: What if I bought a book from you and decided to send to CGC. I get it back 3 months later and scan you a pic of the slab saying, CGC found defects with this, grading it a FN 6.0. You claimed it was VF 8.0 in the description. I then proceed to break it out of the slab before returning to you. Do you pay me back according to your guarantee? the book graded lower than stated and I proved it to you in a scan. You know it's your book. If you pay me back as stipulated then you are a seller of your word and not in it just to get some sucker to sell you back a definitely higher selling commodity than when he purchased it from you. If you don't refund it now that it was broken out of the case, then you are just like the majority of these dishonest sellers who use this "Get it CGC'd and then I'll give your money back guarantee"...at least you pay for return shipping. Most of time, with these other sellers, you are just left pulling a big rusty shaft out your @$$....

I heard Nic Cage is already lurking on these boards, hanging with the coin collectors, infusing their otherwise drab grey lives with a badly needed infusion of COOL! Mud, I don't know the specifics, but its there any possibility that the Nic Cage collection has not been posted in its entirety and that there are more of these restos to come in later lots? Heritage may be putting up the market viable books now to "test" the waters. This can be used as a marketing gimmick to get more hits on their site for as long as they have a book for auction that was part of the Nic Cage Collection. Why get rid of it in one shot? As a seller, I know I would never post my highest grades all at once. Inundating the market with all high grades dilutes the limited spending pool of cash, resulting in lower grossing sales than if timed properly and interspersed at optimum intervals of time - I learned that from "you guys on these boards" Arch, I don't troll 24/7, maybe 20/6, or 18/7...

We would not "snub" any comic, you know better than that. That's good to know. Equal opportunity for all comics, I always say. Tell plitch the well used/read Cherry PopTart run is coming and he better break out the two ply latex gloves....
