Oh well.. I hardly come around these parts and when I do its in PGM forum. Frustrating the signup thread was posted on a completely different board. Last year I missed it even though I visit here daily, because I was only checking out the BUY/SELL and Bronze, SIlver, and Golden Age subforums. I think before CGC-Mike took it over last year, the Contest [in olden times was called the Green Eggs, I think] was only listed in GENERAL, and people who frequented the Buddy Spare a Grade forum never saw when new contest was getting started. Don't really know what my point is, probably just in the mood to pontificate.

Dibbs or second dibbs is time honored and no shame should attach imo. They even have a word for it.

So, use the contest results to screen the interns ? Separate the grading studs from the wannabes.

Nah I don't like that one. I saw that "apes" group are sometimes called a "shrewdness." While a group of lizards might be called a "lounge," is that true?

last book: Marvel Team Up #1 FN/+ (lt. tanning) $62 SOLD

You, me and another one (I think) joined in 2016, and for a while Gregs were buying often. Is it like crows, a murder of gregs?

Lots of people gripe about feebay but I look at my occasional visits to the frontier there as opportunity to promote the CGC sales/buying forums. We can always use some new blood here, I think that's part of what's been lacking here in the "sagebrush zone" the GA/SA/BA has become in recent months. We haven't seen an echu or bunch of new gregs join the bds in a while. [obligatory gripe:] That is, once I finally got past the last new change of "managed payments" it's basically no more painful than in past; although it does seem to charge even more fees for high $$ books than in past, when they used to cut a small break in the FVF for higher amts., [can you belive how much WBN 32 is up to?], so screw that.

No sir, nothing else planned (have some Copper etc I might post in other thread), but I'll either post more here or end it by tomorrow eve. Gracias.

That's it for the Fears, thanks a lot speedcake for the buys (funny thing, I sent noman a quick note about your X-men a series I know he's building). : )

Both comics for $15.99 14 7.0 $9.99 15 7.5-8.0 $13.99 17 7.0 range? $11.99 “if pressed” (I hate to say that) it would range in the high VF grades. Top right corner tiny crease/feathering, and an impact at bottom (about 1 inch from rt corner). Slight storage bend bottom right. SOLD On request I have pics of each front cover at an angle (glare shot).

Quick thread, mostly raw "Adventure into Fear" just in case anyone's trying to complete a run (I bailed, never getting a #8, and over last month sold the Fear: Morbius and Man-Thing keys on gouge-bay; I like this place too much to do that here). RULES: Pay by check/mo only. Returns ok for 2 wks after receipt; if you return a slab you agree to pay 2-way ship; any resto shows up take 10 years. Ship at cost; (raw) starts at $5 media in gemini ii mailer or $8.50 priority legal flat rate mailer; min. (default) ship cost shown w/some items (buy more than one item and ship will be less than combined amts). Ship (slab) starts at $14 for one (priority box-in-box, w/styro peanuts between). No lists, 1st take wins. If there's any rule I forgot, my rule is "no." Priced for dissident-bay (derived from recent sales there, since I canceled my GPA), so you'll pay the lower marked price (basically at least 10% lower). Also I don't collect sales tax, that's on you. The ASMs are decently priced, just ballparked price of the FEARs since little data available, nice copies all at least F+, nothing was pressed. Also check out my old thread in MISC from Jan., some nice items still there. linkeroo

Got my dinosaur and H*tler books. Awesome stuff. Thank you my fine lizard.

bump Pretty sure thread is updated and all sold books have been clearly marked as gone. Recap on page 1 (second post). Will add at least a few by tomorrow night. Some FEAR, and a couple of ASM 252s.
