  1. Modern Fast Track, 11 books

    Received 11/4/15

    Verified 11/11/15

     

    This is interesting.. My 10/22 MFT 10 book submission was moved to Verified today as well. Wonder what exactly was the hold up..

     

    Verified is not part of the regular process. It can happen at any time. I assume people here list it because it appears on their CGC accounts.

     

    Thanks for clarifying (thumbs u

  2. The Woods just got picked up by Universal.

     

    We knew this on October 8th. Don't rely on CHU for late-breaking news.

    . Well, "we" didn't, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. Unfortunately, not everyone has been around here as long. No reason to post comments like that and I see them all the time.

     

    This is one of the nastiest collector communities on the internet....

     

    Indeed. And one of the best at the same time.. :foryou:

     

    With all the Google+ & Facebook groups, blogs that have popped up recently, honestly, these boards are just mediocre now.

     

    definitely lost the fastball here.

    It's now just a third rate place for information, used to be tops.

     

    The core collectors of this site are BY FAR the best in the biz. I've created lifelong friendships with members from these boards in a little over a year. I have 1-2 friends off of facebook and don't even mess with google+ groups. If you think differently maybe you're going about it the wrong way. It's not all about what's hot ATM..

    Sluuuurp....

     

    *shrug*

    Look at my posts...

    It's NOT all about 'hot"

     

    I've got plenty of friends on here.

    If you can't see the constant hostility from vindictive lunatics...

     

    You're blind.

    What keeps this site running isn't the Kamala Khan fanboy.. It's the consistent golden/silver/bronze age collectors that are the :acclaim: of the industry IMO. The newbies will come and go. The consistent old school collectors will always be there. That's what Marvel and DC don't realize. Yes they rebooted every damn comic they could but what did they lose?? Why turn Iceman gay?? Why make Spiderman black?? Create new characters!! That's what we want!! Mesh the old with the new.. It's the best of both worlds just like this site should be..

  5. Not sure it was The Woods that was previously announced but that there was a deal with Boom properties.
    . Thanks for that. I'm newer around here and to collecting. I don't keep up on everything and I'm not just worried about flipping books. I see a lot of condescending attitudes toward people that don't know everything about comics on these boards. I'm learning the ropes in all aspects of it, but don't need to be talked down to because someone has collected longer, has more $, or is just plain rude. I love this stuff! I am also a big fan of The Woods!!!

     

    You'll get that a lot on these boards. Quite a few 10k+ posters with chips on their shoulder. Not good for the site imo. The average collector is looked down on in quite a few subforums..

  6. My walk away from this is good. I am totally in the right with one of the members here over-grading. I've made purchases here of $2400 (Bio Rupp) $550 (storypapers) $300 (shrunkenhead) and $110 (Phil the Governor) all without incident.

     

    I offer proof with better pictures than the listing member and still get no support.

     

    "Considering the book was listed as NM in your sales thread and obviously isn't, why would the last line of your returns policy be relevant here?

     

    You sold an overgraded book and the buyer was unhappy - issue a refund, eat the return shipping and move on."

     

    If that's not support I don't know what is. Classic case of overgrading. Man up. Issue the refund. Case closed. GL mytastebud

    If the story is original, yes. If not, no. The nature of a "preview" almost universally means that it's material intended to be printed elsewhere.

    I'm pretty sure that the Damage Control preview in Marvel Age Annual #4 is not excerpts from the book, but it's been a while since I read it. I do remember that the Wolverine preview is sort of a recap of what had been happening with the character in X-Men, so it's not exactly a story, although the art is original.

     

    A good example of a legit first appearance in a preview is Lazarus.

     

    I just read the story in Marvel Age Annual #4. It's a 4 page, original story that predates Damage Control's other appearances. Even at only 4 pages, it's actually a frame story - the first page has a guy from Damage Control approaching the Joe Fixit version of Hulk and handing him a brochure about Damage Control. Pages 2-3 are basically an ad for Damage Control (which Hulk is reading) explaining what the series is. And page 4 is Hulk kicking the guy's butt and tossing him out of the casino.

     

    So it is an original story, not an excerpt of a later published issue. It's not much of a first appearance - in terms of these sorts of things, it's not as strong as something like Rat Queens in Image What's Next - but I think it is their first appearance.

     

    Erm, we're talking Damage Control, right?

    Who cares?

    Even if this show gets picked, and even if it does better than Walking dead (Sorry, I have to be my eccentric self here, bear with me), its still a series about a unit reconstructing demolished areas. How will this ever generate cult following status??

    People just get into the habit of "investing" in "optioned" books without even thinking of the book's context. This is a fun series, a brilliant concept and Im glad it got picked. But come on now..

     

    When it comes to Hollywood I think the "yeah, we can do it but should we?" Question got thrown out the window a long time ago.
