Many sad, hard lessons from this story, not the least of which is that the internet mob is a savage beast. You let if off the chain at your own peril, and shouldn't be shocked if it turns on you.

Just talked to my friend Bill. He does Copper, but mostly Modern. 500+ subs before this year: zero 9.9/10.0 results. Last 21 book sub: four 9.9 results. Take that for what you will. Wondering if 9.9 will be the next 9.8, especially with the pre-screen.

Have you bothered to look at either of their work? Because if you had, you'd know instantly what Namor was talking about.

Did you read up on what he did? He was somewhat creepy and suggestive to a 17 year old. He could have slept with her and it wouldn't be a crime in 39 out of 50 states. As a man roughly his age, his actions were indefensible and gross. That said, the internet does what the internet does best and went totally overboard. At least the Athenians had the decency to take a vote before ostracizing someone. Other cultures consider shunning among their most serious punishments. We immediately hand it out like candy at the behest of anonymous internet mobs. That should give us pause...

The screen caps I saw showed behavior that was over the line and wrong. The internet mob and court of public opinion that tried, judged and tore his life apart were also over the line and wrong. So depressing and sickening, on every level.

I've wanted a copy for years. Figured I had a shot at 10k. I figured wrong.

I know it was all the way back in the foggy days of 2022, but have we all forgotten the Clayton Crain acetate 9.9's and 10.0's? Whatever. Business as usual in comic land. Everyone go back to sleep.

It's all so laughably transparent and corrupt at this point.

You guys suck at reading.

You are on the CGC card cert lookup, not the CGC comic lookup. "Trading card" in the second scan. Has happened to me more than a few times...including today.

You forgot to add the part where market value is $6.

They must have a big rolodex of old school deep pocketed collectors, because all I hear is sub-par comments everytime their name gets mentioned. Over grading, slow shipping, bad attitudes.

Going to send out invoice starting today. Will leave the thread open for awhile though, as stuff keeps trickling out.

Brave Bold 54 9.4 sold via PM

Battle Action 15 Astonishing 46 Star Wars 8 Sold per PM

General loss of interest coupled with unfavorable market conditions.

Man. I am sorry.

Dude, this is not your lucky day. Did you see my edit about keeping it? Check your quoted post.

You just missed both of these unfortunately.

Nicest SA book in the thread. You will like it.

Forgot about that one. Rawhide Kid 45 9.2 white This is about as nice a copy as there is. Colors, gloss, paper are all unreal. Was disappointed in the grade. Crappy pic does not do justice. Came out of a high grade OO collection I bought maybe 10 years ago. $500 SOLD

That's all. Thanks for looking! Will total these later. Thread will close sometime tomorrow and I'll get invoices out this weekend.
