Start paying more for restored books.

Awesome

The pulp holders have the increased depth the digests and paperbacks need. Specifically the 1" deep holder - the same depth as the magazine holder but with the reduced "regular" comic slab footprint.  These would hold the 128-164 pg books.  Thicker books would jump up to the 1 1/2" deep slab.  I believe they're working on developing an inner well alternative to the 3 wedge system of placement that you see utilized in all the examples above. 

I'm fairly confident in speculating that a smaller unique holder/well just for the pb/digest market isn't in the cards.  

oh good lord.  there's thick skinned, thin skinned, and...BA773!

three teasing comments from me and this guy's threatening to never bother us again with his entertaining threads...which is totally a bluff btw, never happen

ok look - Ah the Swiss, the greatest people on this fabulous planet! better than those ridiculous Americans!  better now?

and you may never want to check out this nasty thread, your head might explode from the sheer hate of it all

I don't think this word means what you think it means

Ah the Swiss!  Often mistaken, but never in doubt.

This coming on the boards looking for a pat on the head and instead getting a kick in the pants, never gets old for me

There wont be a season 2. It ends where the book ends - kinda. If you enjoyed this show, and you can still bring yourself to "read a book", I highly recommend you read Shogun.

The show is to the book as a light bulb is to the sun.

Well this didn't age well.

you bet

Cool. With today's date as the grade date. Wonder how it got deleted in the first place, and also why it couldn't be re-entered with the original grade date. Glad you got it resolved.

Last I heard they're not accepting digests for slabbing at this time. More work is needed on the inner well. I would think the market they want next is paperbacks, and the digests will come along for the ride. A year out?

And of those you mentioned I think MFSF is clearly the stand out title, at least for the 50's

if you're interested in this great book - I've moved it to Ebay

Ok thanks. Proof of life? Like a photo of me holding it? 

Yeh

No idea beyond the usual, crack and then retire the cert, which doesn't appear to be the case here. In the meantime if it were me I'd post a proof of life shot just to keep things moving.

The basic cert is in the system with a grade date of 3/4/13, going up to 1134650013.

1134650008 and 1134650012 have been deleted from the system.

BIGGER and last reduction to only $275

good till Sunday 5/12 6pm PT

The Super Science Fiction 18 digest lot that hit 1800 was somewhat remarkable.

This.  Sure it's the whole run, but $100 each on this kind of raw?

And that's average VF according  to HA.  Here's a shot of 10 of them - how unbelievable near minty would the 8 not pictured be in order to average VF?

It's not just one picture, it's the picture they chose to represent where they're going with this re-imagining. It didnt just make it's way onto social media through some clumsy PR intern. Out of many many stills, this is what Gunn as DC head wants more than any other to begin with.

But why? I think where he's going is - nothing special here. A blow against the very concept of exceptionalism. Supes? He ain't no big thing. Just another guy in an ill fitting suit, cosplay guy, sure maybe a little stronger than you or me but hey - isnt there always someone stronger around? And he didnt even earn or make his strength. He didnt sweat it in the gym. He was born that way, and then made his way to a place where he would compete unfairly against the natives!

The very face of unearned privilege.

Well, I guess it is pretty obvious that it is a Halloween cover…but since it is and I specificaly requested and I paid for the service, I was a little disappointed.

Customer Service has nothing to do with it. This comes from someone further down the food chain.

My books are special to me. I buy them for a reason. Unless I am incorrect, I feel I should be entitled to have what I want on them since I am paying for the service.

 

What service is that Bob?

BIG reduction now to only $295

giddy up and get the Jack Davis western, pardners!

Apparently. Gunn remaking Supes in his own, unkempt my hair looks like I just got out of bed image.

Suit doesn't fit at all.  Like c'mon man.  What some call "trunks", others call a diaper.  And Supes slowly contemplating his rubber bootie as Metropolis gets attacked by the Eye of Sauron?  

For those that don't want to hate, we'll pick up that slack. Gunn bad.  Warhammer good!
