Not to pile on but I paid good money to make the following comment... Horrid. Absolutely horrid. The only reason I didn't walk out was because the girlfriend fell asleep.

Overrated: - Robin (he's a sidekick that rides Batman's popularity) - Carnage (he's no Venom) - Aquaman/Namor (both are the same boring character) Underrated: - X-O Manowar (should be a household name...great origin, great character) - Samurai Jack (not a cookie cutter character...cool concept) - Ms. Marvel (unless you're into comics, you have no idea who she is)

Very cool that he responded. BUT...the letter seems a bit cold (bitter, lifeless, mean...insert other similar descriptive words). The first sentence up to the last sentence seems to be a bit prickish. If this was a letter sent back from someone who you despise it wouldn't garner the same good feelings. Just my own personal opinion...and again, cool that he responded.

Flawless transaction. Item was perfect. Many thanks for the opportunity to own such a great book. All the best, Tony T.

R-rating please... Thats a joke right? What's your percieved punchline? So you really think Marvel would pump out an R rated Deadpool movie? Read my comment again.

Great issue #1. Great issue #2.

That's a copper age book, so most discussion of it goes on there. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7689666&fpart=1 I need to brush up on my timelines ... Age From To Golden 1938 1950 Silver 1956 1970 Bronze 1970 1985 Modern 1985 Present ***Thanks for the heads up. Truly appreciated.

Is there an Uncanny X-Men #266 (1st Gambit) appreciation thread? There's been a gradual uptick from the $200 price point it was sitting at. With the confirmation of "go" for the movie, mid/low $200's seem like a good entry point to grab a copy (if you don't already own one). ***1990...borderline "modern"

I bought a few from them. Some notable ones... Amazing Spider-Man #300 9.8 (came back graded as a 9.8) Iron Fist #1 9.6 (not yet graded but it looks fantastic) Tales To Astonish #100 9.8 (not yet graded but looks fantastic) It's one of the few sellers I follow on a weekly basis on Ebay. Their shipping is top notch and everything is packaged securely. Also great customer service. Only one complaint...bidding gets more pricey than most (but this is out of their control).

Get the Marc Silvestri cover...

I don't fold down the flap (so no need for tape). But when I ship a comic I use a very light sticky adhesive tape to hold the flap down. It basically has the same holding strength of a post-it note.

How in all that is holy did this get a 9.9? It had Liefeld's art all over it! that's why it's not a 10.

Sorry, let me clarify. Yes, I agree he's been popular for a long time...consistently popular. I was a big fan when the issue originally hit the shelves. But "blew up"...$400 to $1,000, a new post about NM98 popping up every other day, comparing NM98 to IH 181, etc....all within the past few months.

I can't imaging how popular he will get if the movie is a success. I can't imagine most of the new fans will be clammering for a NM 98 for $1000 but stranger things have happened. Some young/teenage boy/girl see the movie. Love it. Get into comics. Grow up. Get a paying job. Decide to buy something that reminds them of happy childhood memories. Right now the only driving NM98 are the collectors/hoarders...not the general public. Wait 20 years before we can assess the true impact (overblown hype or the next IH 181?). Name (1) character who is more popular than Deadpool from the copper age to present. Does Walking Dead characters count? Popular to whom? The general public doesn't know Deadpool from Omega Red. Popular to comic book collectors...I'll go with Venom. Popular versus Walking Dead fanatics...I'll go with Rick. Again, Deadpool just blew up a few months ago.

Had. (Picture here) Oh my

This +1 Wouldn't even think twice about it. Nope, not me. I have both the regular and UPC version (both in 9.8) and it never even crossed my mind to sell them even if it hits $1K. NM 98 is one of my favorite book. Just can't imagine my collection without it. ***Note to self...need to post a picture of them together. ***Follow up... Sorry about the crappy picture. I'm too lazy to buy a good camera . So here are some of my favorite "1st" issues. Still need to get the Iron Fist #14 35 cent version and the Spider-man 300 UPC verson.

I got 1,000 shares of Yahoo instead. IPO at $92 is way inflated. But I'd still take 100 shares of BABA over a low grade AF15...higher potential for a higher return. ***Clarify...Yahoo priced back during their dip a few months ago. Now even Yahoo is inflated at current price.

Yes, yes you are crazy It looks gorgeous to me. Gonna put that on my list of "If I won the lottery..."

I don't believe it... ...you have a girlfriend? Nice grab (thumbs u
