  1. All remote graders. And any other employee they can get to work remote. So instead of opening up another facility they will look do downsize the one they have.
  2. They will just grade using facetime.
  3. That seems like the biggest investment in money. Worth it? No idea. Not sure what kind of capacity they are currently at.
  4. Of course the questions will be how do they envision making more money. It could go in different directions. Hire a bunch more graders and you can get more books out the door. Or dictate that time spent on grading needs to be reduced by 50%. That gets a lot more books out the door to. Or hire a bunch of new receiving department lower wage people and start charging the minute the book is marked as received. Then you don't care how long it takes.
  5. Doesn't matter. They have bosses now.
  6. What the hell? Stop buying all the sweet magazines and leave some for the rest of us.
  7. I don't think "like new" means what he think it means. https://www.ebay.com/itm/vampirella-vol-1-comic-No-1-/393402125400?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
  8. They went so heavy with the green in the book version. Just seems unnecessary. So many book covers messed with Frazetta paintings. Just leave them as is.
  9. An assist from Rich Sala. He pointed me in the right direction.
  10. I would love to organize a museum trip. Just not sure how many people are close enough to make it.
  11. Of course you can't return it after you have it regraded. Besides the fact you won't get it back for 6 months.
  12. If anyone is thinking of making a trip to the museum let me know. Any excuse for me to go out there is appreciated.
  13. Its $15. You automatically get a guided tour.
  14. I'm going to Baltimore. The only show I always do. We make a weekend out of it. But I have my doubts how much I will actually buy. With prices going insane I have a feeling I'm going to walk out without buying very much. But I always like looking to see what's out there.
  15. Some recent pick ups. I officially started a Dark Horse short box.
  16. If only someone would have posted about it here.
  17. IMPORTANT ALERT!!! This Fall, 2021, the name of "The Creeps" magazine will be changing to "Shudder" magazine. Warrant Publishing Company and New Comic Company have both determined that to avoid the potential million dollar costs and time involved in litigating a potentially years long court case, it is in the mutual interest of both parties to finalize a settlement that was negotiated by the attorneys representing both parties. A non-disclosure clause in this agreement blocks the release of the settlement details, but one result is that "The Creeps" magazine will continue to be published uninterrupted under the name "Shudder" magazine starting in Fall, 2021. The final issue of "The Creeps" magazine will be issue #32. The story contents of "Shudder" will be the same as "The Creeps," but the numbering of "Shudder" magazine will re-set at issue #1. Subscribers to "The Creeps" will continue receiving their copies every two months, without interruption. Thank you for your attention. With the resolutions of this case, we are excited about entering a new phase of business here Warrant Publishing Company. We look forward to continuing to bring you the World's #1 illustrated horror magazines in the great Warren tradition for many years to come.
