NoMan

My wife cares about cars, I don't. I care about comics, my wife don't.

Hardly. Just bought a new car. My wife handles that. She’s from the street and not to messed with. I just sit there and watch her work.

I honestly don't want to get into it here suffice it to say, Are you married? I am and a successful marriage is a comprimise and my wife has a long history with these people and cares for them. Me, not so much.

I'll be nearly dead and nobody gives a mess about comics that I know. They'll take them to the LCS to sell even tho heirs have been told not to. My nieces and nephews are spoiled and in my will they go to a friend of my wife's who can't lift a hand to help anyone even tho we've given him and his family close to 100k. F- him.

I want to apologize to you for humanity. I don't envy your position. It's why I just pay what's asked for seeing as how you have to deal with this. The first show I went to in, I dunno, 38 years, i was looking thru an xmen box and a guy kinda nudged me aside and I thought, "I guess that's how things are now" and kinda let him share my space. He got a bunch of books, haggled with dealer slammed them down, obviously not getting his way, screaming "The customer is always right!" and stormed off still screaming, "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!" I was so embarrased I kinda wanted to just leave. EDIT: I buy not to flip. True, I will sell my collection in 20 years and do hope to sell for more than I bought, bout most importantly it's books I care for, not what's hot or maybe I'm the sucker every dealer hopes for. I tend to stay with a small group of sellers that I feel is fair, fully understanding I have no idea what fair is. I usually don't do my homework. I got 500$, I want that book, it's priced at 500$, here you go.

My ADD isn't going to allow me to read all this. Soooo.... Superman always sucked. Always. Batman was always cool until he started sucking beginning whenever that 60s Adam West sh*t-show started, which made him poppy and stupid like Superman. It took Marshal Rodgers and Carmine I. to make him cool again. He was blasted into full-nova coolness with Frank Miller. Neil Adams probably had a hand in Batman becoming cool again, but whenever I think of Adams all I think about is seeing him at the Stan Lee con in LA in 2016 eating a hamburger and it dripping all over him. I think the only thing good to happen to Superman EVER was the Alan Moore story in the late 80s. I had hopes for the Miller Superman: Year One book, but looking at it, no, Superman continues to suck.

Is there a pressing line when it's pressed enough to inch up a grade, but if you press it one more time it falls to 1.0?

Thanks.

Honest question: What if you kept manipulating it by PRESSING IT? You just kept pressing it, every day, professionally, for 365 days. What would it look like then? Any answer including, "A professional would stop pressing it at some point" will not be accepted. I want to press it. Everyday. for 365 days. What will it look like. An 8.0 or a 5.5?

I suppose I'll stop trying to make my point about a customer being able to see the price as it saves everyone a lot of time and headache and hurt feelings. Since I obviously live in some kind of a bizarro world here's THE KIDS OF WHITNEY HIGH::

What if I can't see the price because it's so tiny and I can't see it from behind the table?

Sue everybody.

Huh? I can hear your lips moving but I can't see what you're saying.

It took awhile for me to figure out if The Boards were worthy. I mean I coulda just posted some BS jam band or some such SH**.

I'm not saying it's good, proper and right to sue them, I'm just saying to sue them.

Can you figure out a way to sue the Law School you went to?

no sh*t! I'm so baffled I gotta lay down.

I agree. I want your DTR #1 9.8 but have no money, whatsoever. I figured it was better to just come out and say it as opposed to entering into long negotiations, you agreeing and then me saying, "I'll keep that in mind."

I figure a well-known long time dealer deserves what he/she's asking cause you guys gotta deal with so many dumb people.

I dislike people way too much to be a dealer at a public show.

Are they pricey? Yes. Very, very, very pricey. Do they have much GA? No. None. (If they had GA) would it be pricey? Yes. Very, very, very pricey. Would it be worth it for you to make the trek even at 30% off? My personal opinion is no, it would not be worth your 1-hour drive. I came to this opinion for you because they have no GA and at 30% off their books, instead of being very, very pricey, at 30% off they would simply be very pricey. Jud (owner) was always pleasant to me. He seemed like a nice guy.

Thanks! He told the Van Halen story at a concert about 2 years ago. Thought he was from Barstow. Said his dad hit his mom, hence the lyric in the WOV song Factory.

Funny, Jud would always talk about an AF15 9.2 he had that Victor (CC?) was always bugging him to sell. Maybe the 9.2 that came up to auction recently on CC was his.

Cool. I wanna hear some Stan Ridgway stories!
