@ 10% off. Going to be looking for more Star Trek cast sigs in the future (you just had to go and have that Nicholas Meyer signing and kick off a new mini-obsession, didn't you?), so keep me in mind if you've got more available. Thanks!

Doesn't that guy play for the Capitals?

Avalon would be a neat touch. As long as they don't re-enact X-Men 25. Wolverine got done dirty in that issue.

Being featured in anything written by Charles Soule.

Pictures of any of them?

Clear signal the guy doesn't understand the hobby. If he's not willing to listen to the basics tenets that go into pricing or do a quick "Completed Listing" search of his own on eBay, you're probably throwing away your time.

The opinion of this particular OEF veteran -- don't trust the "look at me, I'm a veteran, give me stuff!" types. I've found that they're often professional sob story spinners, grossly exaggerating their service, and/or outright lying. One particular guy I was deployed with got real into playing up how he was this great disabled combat vet once we got home. Of course I know firsthand that he spent about 85% of our time overseas behind a desk and the only combat that he or anyone else in our unit saw was on TV. But when you need something to blame for your drinking problem and failed marriage...there you go. Plenty of businesses out there give military discounts and the VA, for all its faults, does have some great benefits for veterans. So playing the vet card to wrangle an extra 10% out of a guy selling funny books on eBay just doesn't sit well with me.

I recently rolled the dice on a Wolverine 35 PGX 9.8 from eBay, for a $30 bill it was worth the gamble. The book not only had a blunted and torn corner at the upper spine but also...drum roll...a freakin' dust shadow on the front cover. It was too laughable to even get upset about. Hopefully they "authenticate" some more Steve Ditko signatures soon, they're a scourge on the entire hobby.

I'll tell you what happened - the editors at Marvel thought putting their new age twist on "Flame on!" was a gimme, so they just skipped it altogether.

Hit me again. We'll talk pressing.

Remember when I told you I was probably going to sit out till WW Chicago? Yeah....

Dear God, why? Just...why? Weren't 2 and 3 bad enough? Must the world suffer more???

Sell everything that Allen wants to me instead!

So it's...Snake Plissken vs. Neo? I've been re-reading the series over the past year and am currently halfway through Wolves of the Calla. My conviction to detach from the source material when eventually redboxing this movie keeps getting stronger.

I just find myself wondering about what must go on in the storyboard room when writing an X-Men movie these days... "How about we introduce The Brood?!" 'Dude! Or failing that, we could at least start with the Shi'ar.' '''Sure sure, but why not just stay Earth-centric with the X-Tinction Agenda?''' ""Have we given enough time to Bishop and his time travelling hi jinks? I mean he only got a little DOFP screen time."" --Cross talk continues, until being abruptly cut off by ominous sounding guy sitting in the shadows-- '''''You're all fools! Fools I say! We will give the world yet another Phoenix movie, and they will like it! Fetch my X-Men: The Animated Series DVDs!''''' "But sir, at least go to the source material. The Phoenix story arc originated in Uncanny X-Men one hundred..." '''''You there! You're fired! Now someone else bring me my DVDs!!!'''''

They're probably going to cast Michael Cera as Venom. You know, as an "homage" to Spider-Man 3.

I gotta say that I've come around a bit on this movie after seeing the trailer, however that comes with the one major caveat that I had to detach myself from the source material to do so. I think it will be a fun Redbox watch in that hero saves the world kind of sense, but it's going to fail hard as an homage to the source material. McCounaghey in particular stood out as very little Walter and very much "I'm going to sell you this Lincoln Towncar today". Add in the ninjas and the speed loaders and the no look headshots...hence the necessary detachment. It is what it is. I figure if I'm entertained and in the end King Arthur declares Idris Elba the new King of England or ANNA conquers Siam after the ninth nuclear world war, I'll walk away happy.

Why didn't UPS catch the PO Box problem before even accepting your shipment?

Poor Atnl...he coulda been a contender!

I did not miss it, that thread was legendary! I figured we could all use another cheap laugh.

C'mon guys, the label clearly states the book was signed at San Jose and SDCC. Granted no mention of by whom at those particular events, but hey it was signed!

We need a ruling on this. I mean, we all know this is probably a 7.5 in reality, but those signatures...the Len Wein looks pretty standard save for the final n in Wein, but I'm definitely not sold on the Atnl Inpee being legit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Incredible-Hulk-181-MINT-PGX-9-9-Signed-Wein-Trimpe-Wolverine-NOT-CGC-/292033599089?hash=item43fe8f1671:g:TDEAAOSw-0xYRiwk Discuss.

I guess we can give the man credit for staying true to himself. Let's face it -- if he wanted to, he could probably make 8 figures just by signing at NYCC for all four days.

Rich - Going forward, I'd be interested in any of 2-10 signed by Lloyd in 9.8 (already have #1) if you can make it happen.
