  1. I didn't know they existed either. Very cool. May have to pick up a set.
  2. Beautiful GL87. I'd love to get a copy of that book, but just don't feel like spending the cash on it right now.
  3. Yep. Just saw that here too: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/new-spider-man#.us1BVQbLpB
  4. Awesome seller. Grabbed a great book I was after for a while. Definitely will use again!
  5. Nice! I have a copy en route as well. It's about as cherry as I've ever seen. I'm hoping to submit it soon.
  6. Actually, I think they did it mostly from a rights standpoint. I know for She-hulk, DC was going to come out with a similar character and Marvel quick copyrighted it so DC couldn't. From what I've read in the past it's a similar situation with the other female characters from back then. Nowadays yes, it's for new readers, PC police, etc but I don't think that was the situation when they were introduced originally. edit - from the She-hulk wikipedia
  7. Same here. Picked up an 8.5 within the last three months. shot you a PM
  8. Yep. So glad I got my 8.5 a few months ago. I had hoped on upgrading, but now that's probably not going to happen
  9. Wonder what the chances of a Punisher spinoff will be, or if it's just going to be involvement in DD.
  10. I'm all for diversity too, but I don't feel the need to bastardize the long term characters by changing them all around (Thor's female, Iceman's gay, etc). I understand from a marketing standpoint in our PC world it makes sense, but some things should be left alone. I think that there are plenty of opportunitites to introduce these traits in new characters but whatever, maybe that's just me
  11. Hulk and Wolverine are the two that continue to baffle me. Yes, they're fantastic characters but there's really nothing on the horizon for them short term. These two just keep climbing. Wish I had been able to pick up a Hulk 1, but I'm definitely not getting rid of my 181!
  12. Yea, I'm kind of in the same boat. Every time I see her I just think of that junkie from Breaking Bad.
  13. I'm interested to see how this trend continues. I predict that CM17-2 will continue to be a valuable book, but I don't think that will stop PO from rising up to the same level. Once a bunch of slabbed copies start coming back and people see the notes, I'm thinking a price adjustment isn't far behind. PO is ridiculously cheap right now. I wish I would have gotten on the CM17-2 bandwagon when it first came out, but oh well. Hindsight. I do have 3 NM copies I got for cover price with almost no visible ticks that I've been waiting to send down for grading. I should probably get on that. I think they should have no problem being 9.8s.
  14. Ugh. I agree about not remaking already great movies. The original was amazing. Why ruin it?
  15. Anyone get Point One back from CGC yet? I'd like to see the label.
  16. Picked up some wants from Phil. Excellent transaction. Awesome packaging job, perfect description of the books. Would definitely deal with again!
