  1. Wait, they didn’t quit after “Leprechaun in the Hood”? Yikes.
  2. This was my first reaction too. The one book I’ve had restored did take several months, but several years seems like an absurd timeline.
  3. Each listing photo of the bathroom(s) features him on the toilet.
  4. So…an incomplete, universal 6.5 FF book with a gimmick Deadpool label.
  5. No Carl Weathers, no sale. Besides, if it’s anything like Rambo 5, God help us all…
  6. Necessities first: Payment: In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check / money order / Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance (which is pretty much immediate with Zelle). Payment due within 5 business days. Shipping (domestic): Domestic shipping is by insured USPS priority and is included in the book price. International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost. Please inquire first for an accurate quote. Returns: No returns on CGC books since you know what you're getting. On the HoS? Probation list? Or we have some other beef (on my ignore list, bad con interaction, etc.)? Don't bother. Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn. And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page). First posted in the thread wins a book outright (so don't PM it to me, a thread take it wins out regardless of time stamp). One book offered today -- X-Men 62, with a beautiful Neal Adams cover, also signed in just about the perfect spot by the late Mr. Adams. A blue 9.0 recently went for just under $400 on eBay, and another eBayer is asking an exorbitant amount for an Adams SS 8.5 at the moment. Board price is $350 shipped, with 10% going to the Best Friends Animal Society (Promoting Animal Welfare & Pet Adoption | Best Friends Animal Society). Donation receipt will be posted to this thread upon completion of sale.
  7. Maybe proactively cancel his bids?
  8. He certainly comes off like a pompous bag, but I would’ve given him a chance with a “hey, did you see my message about a free book?” before going scorched earth. Small money overall, but good karma.
  9. This is bull__it. Punisher: War Zone? Oscar worthy. Best Frank Castle ever, and it’s not even close. Back when IFC actually showed movies instead of episodes of Two and a Half Men 24/7, I had more than one night in my youth when I’d drop everything for a War Zone / Rambo 4 double feature. Gone far too soon.
  10. Frankly, both endings sound unreleasable.
  11. Sounds about as interesting as one of my journeys through the north side of Chicago in my youth, trying to find an open dry cleaner on a Sunday. I had thrown up on a friends area rug the night before (alcohol was possibly involved), bagged it in the AM, then set off on my quest with my trusty best friend at the time. As the journey wore on, I started calling myself and my baggage “Archimedes and his Golden Fleece.” Greek mythology scholars everywhere were appalled. I never did find a dry cleaner, wound up replacing the rug instead. Now that I’ve typed it out loud, my journey was more interesting than this movie.
  12. At this point, I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s worst fears about the Blackstone take over have come true. The recent exorbitant price hikes and new ME policy make it perfectly clear that dealing with CGC (at the very least, are the other members of CCG also suffering from this?) is just like watching Goodfellas: - Your book’s FMV is $1050? Fk you, pay me. - Newton rings make it look like your book was slabbed by BP? Fk you, pay me. - Plastic shards in your slab? Fk you, pay me. - Your mom was in the hospital and you didn’t notice an ME until 30 days later? Fk you, pay me. Blackstone stock is also down about 45% in the past 18 months if you’re looking for some correlations.
  13. A little offering from me -- Uncanny X-Men 221, 9.4 blue. 1st Mr. Sinister. $100 to the gofundme, US shipping on me (international we can figure something out). SOLD
  14. You forgot to mention the best part of #44 - signed by golf legend John Daly!
  15. I’ve already got the acronyms for ComicLink and Heritage’s new services: CVAS - Currently Verifying Any Slab QESNRSYPUFT - Quickly Exploiting Suckers, No Really Suckers, You’re Paying Us For This?
  16. This thread inspired me to look at my profile for the first time in a hwile. No clue how, but this is my current About Me write up: I have no words.
  17. Thought this result from today was interesting as 9.8s would typically break $1000 with ease in years past: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314567291200 Could sanity be creeping in?
  18. As a huge Wolverine fan growing up, Larry Hama has always been one of my all-time favorites. I've had the opportunity to meet him three times, in three separate years, at three different conventions...and each time he's been pissed off. It makes me sad. The guy just doesn't seem to want to be there, ever. Luckily, my positive con interactions far outweigh the very few negative ones that I have had. If I had to name one creator I still want to meet (again, Wolverine-centric), it's Mark Texeira.
