  1. Sorry. Wrong. That depends on if you meant "big tits make a girl hot" as in horny for other girls, or as in more attractive if they have them. I agree with the former more than the latter. Yeah but big guns are not necessarily great guns.
  2. Peds need to be purchased straight off the newsstand so if he's buying books from other people it'll never be a Ped.
  3. I'm getting destroyed? Why would you say that? Well, now that you've challenged me please show me where I got destroyed, Mr. "big tits make a girl hot".
  4. Discuss, don't discuss. Stop, don't stop. You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present." No, I'm just too overwhelmed mentally to get involved right now.
  5. To both Sean and RAM, I understand. And for the most part disagree. I really don't feel like discussing this any more. Can somebody help me stop?
  6. Weren't you the guy that said you picked 3 10.0 raw books for submission and had them graded at 10.0 or did i misunderstand you? Didn't I "guess" and send in a comic that I thought had a shot at 9.9 and it came back CGC 9.9 while all the rest I had pegged at 9.8 and they graded CGC 9.8? Didn't we just discuss this on the copper forum a few weeks ago? How is that arbitrary?
  7. Oh, thank God, somebody gets it. Sigh. Everybody gets it. We all get it. The discussion comes to down whether you can or can not choose a 9.9 out of the line up or not. If somebody can, then the $12K is "worth it" to somebody. If somebody cannot then it's "arbitrary".
  8. True. 47K can buy a lot of vintage grilled cheese. Do you realize that most of the money in people's pockets is not a real currency?
  9. That lunch cost 48K, not "4 NM 98 CGC 9.9s". As far as this thread is concerned it's the same thing. Nice try, but a NM 98 in 9.9 isn't currency, and no one is claiming that it is. Don't try to bullspit a bullspitter. The NM 9.8 CGC 9.9 is not a currency. I think everybody realizes that. What I probably should have said was that the lunch cost 4 times what the NM 9 CGC 9.9 cost. You also know what my point was. The point is that $12K is a lot of money for a modern comic and $47K is a lot of money for a modern lunch and whether someone is buying 4 moderns for $48K or a lunch for $48K it's really out of the realm of the majority on these boards to consider doing something like that so it's hard to put into perspective when most of us are dealing with 5 and 6 figure incomes.
  10. That lunch cost 48K, not "4 NM 98 CGC 9.9s". As far as this thread is concerned it's the same thing.
  11. If you think about it the point was not what the items on the bill were. The point is that one lunch cost about 4 NM 98 CGC 9.9's. Both prices are likely considered "nuts" to people who don't roll in those circles, myself included.
  12. Do you even read what you write? I believe the "It just doesn't make sense" was thrown in for irony.
  13. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a buyer right here. www.twilightmoms.com
  14. (thumbs u Why is perspective so lacking in so many who collect comics? Et...$200K for a 9.6 X-Men #1, while high, is not out of the realm of reason within the context of what that book is. The difference here could be a 1/128th inch spine impression. That's what might seperate this 9.9 from a strong 9.8. Or, it could quite literally be nothing, and a number of 9.8s could actually be in better condition than this 9.9. Is nothing worth $12,000? Is a 1/128th inch spine impression...? I think etanick was just trying to say that a grown man or woman can spend their money on whatever floats their boat. That has been repeated over...and over...and over....and over again in this thread. YES, you can spend your money on anything you want. No one is disputing that. I have a Maxx #3 Black Ashcan. One of only 2 anyone has publicly seen. Is it worth $50,000? Perspective. That's all anyone is talking about. Dude, I know what you are saying. I'm saying that our perspective is likely different than someone else's perspective if they can afford the book Again, I don't really care. I'm just discussing for the sake of discussion.

  16. Regained some movement. Where did he stick it to make it stop working?
  17. I hope you enjoy it and never sell it, because you won't be as pleased You guys just can't stop, can you? Why do you have to assume that his pleasure from this comic will come with the resale value?
  18. Andddd...right on cue, here comes Watson, stirring the pot. It's almost Pavlovian, ain't it...? I wasn't even talking to you or about you, for matter. However, I guess water finds its own level. I call BS on this. Sorry, call it as I see it.
  19. Andddd...right on cue, here comes Watson, stirring the pot. It's almost Pavlovian, ain't it...? I think from the the thread the buyer has gotten the gist of what most people think. (thumbs u
