  1. yep multiple books I thought I finished 2nd on in Dale's threads over the years have ended up being wins when the board is refreshed properly. Sometimes its the other way.
  2. I was trying to not run afoul of the board censors. I wanted to go all the way with it...
  3. Keep your hands out of the bushes and you won't have to worry bout it
  4. Any idea yet when the next round hits and what titles we can look forward to?
  5. ok fess up, which one of you is in their chat right now trolling them
  6. So if I have a blue chip book valued at $250,000 I can get people to give me ANOTHER $250,000 while still keeping my book, and their money, which I can then invest however I want and make even more money with other people's money? whew
  7. Got my raffle prize a couple of days ago and @HighRadArt added some really sweet books! I mean, a Adventures of the Fly #1?! Huzzah! Already read the Crime Does Not Pay and will be working my way through the rest while I’m under 9 more days of Covid quarantine . Thanks Mike!
  8. Collect what you like and don't worry about it. Don't worry about what other people think is "cool" or "must have" or key. They certainly don't worry about you or what you collect. And if they do, then they aren't worth worrying about in turn. See? Easy!
  9. Yeah. It was completely ridiculous and showed his true character.
  10. Tom King is insufferable, and I try to avoid him and anything he writes.
  11. Last call on what's left before I close this up in the A.M. Thanks to all who grabbed some mags, I appreciate it!
  12. We are dealing with it. That's what we are all doing here: Dealing with it.
  13. He and ComicTom (though to be fair much more so for Comic Tom) are just wayyyyyy too concerned with what things are worth or are selling for, etc. ComicTom doesn't talk about comic book history, artists, the artform itself, usually unless it somehow ties into what this or that comic is selling for at the moment. Those guys just come across to me like the modern, youtube version of the old Wizard top ten and price guide pumping FOMO into the market on a daily basis. Sometimes they have an interesting chat, but I stopped watching. I don't even get the feeling that Tom likes comics. He might like them very much, but it doesn't come across that way for me in the vids. Comic Tropes I enjoy most of the time. I watch Very Gary because his endless collection hunting is entertaining and he seems pretty honest about what he finds. ETAnick I pretty much watch all of his comic book content and his grading guide is priceless. Pop Fun To Play has fun comic haul vids when he does them, which isn't nearly as often as his true love: Funko Pops, which I despise so I skip those vids. Longbox Love Affair usually gets a watch out of me, as does Regie. I found Comic Book Geezers recently and they are fun to watch. Christ i watch too much youtube.
  14. nope. I think that's it for this thread. Just discounted everything remaining, though.
