  1. THe recycling bin haha maybe I can't read all that well I tried to skip to the good parts
  2. Ah I see a promotional comic!! I READ but if it's to never be revealed then it's never to be Weird how he stated someone "offered him 400,000 issues of a comic"
  3. When something seems too good If I ever try again I'm going to call ebay to walk me through it it's never worked for me. ----
  4. Another good point! I guess I didn't really think my original statement through, in spirit I knew what I meant should have probably said copyrighted? It seems out of my focus how he could have put the idea into invention mode in this instance anyway, he wouldn't have the resources.
  5. Good to know I didn't know that it was originally a contest. Prop's to Marvel for holding it and standing by the contest to pay for the intellectual property. I think that it is an interesting that it went down. Shame it's not common knowledge, it should have given a Randy a little street cred or something I'd of almost rather had that than the money....
  6. SWEET!! Glad you collected what you loved! I guess that means your going to hold on to it for years to come?
  7. Artist's wouldn't like to do it that way, they would become the flippers and find out that it is harder than you think: when you consider, keeping it in good condition and the price they would charge, the website, the CGC witness fees, emoloyees and much more... Probably why Scott Campbell doesn't do it, in fact the only one I know to do it is Stan Lee, and when is the last time they had a book you wanted on the site. Stan's prices are as astounding as Mile High Comics, especially the one's that his wife signs too, were talking $2000. And can you imagine the volume of books that they'd have to produce to meet current demand or risk losing money on pure volume. Plus demand would drop considerably, because as much as we complain of the lengths we go to getting SS'd, we enjoy the hunt but new blood would come along presumably. Sure they could start a mail in service themselves, which actually doesn't sound too bad, but they would not want to go through that hassle either. As far as calling the artist/creator's greedy, I don't think anyone called them such. I think they're the same as the flippers, and no one said that flippers were greedy either other than maybe Marvel. They're in the same boat. We may get more coin when we eventually sell, but the artist's themselves are creating buzz, a name, interacting with fans, and that goes on and on with benefits. I don't think the artists were agreeing with Marvel. I think the artist's couln't give a flying flip and will remain mostly out of the fight. I basically don't think that even Marvel will go beyond complaining. Sounds like everyone at the con that had window bagged books got their SS. It shouldn't have been directed at the fans in the first place, that sounds like a waisted effort. If Marvel wants action then they need to talk to CGC, which wouldn't fly either. If Marvel continues to make a big stink, then the artist's will speak up in defense, as some have stated valid reasons. All in all I don't see it really going anywhere than Marvel loosing again more clientele and suffering for "their" cause. Feel free to disagree, cause I don't even think anyone know's-----Marvel has just created more speculation
  8. Whatever happened to Lady Deadpool? I mean seriously folks.... deadpool is like venom in a lot of ways
  9. My parents have a late 1920's to early 1930's victrola with some 35's or something like that, maybe I should ask them if I could sell it and make a MINT ---jk I wish it was worth something, but they just uses it to pile blankets and other cloth on top of it
  10. On second thought the thing I'm seeing might be a reflection of you holding the camera?
  11. Along with the yellow appearing to come through on the P & the I, there seems to be a dot of yellow coming through on the S. This alone "may" not count for much but along with the grader's notes etc. Maybe contact joeypost, I've heard a lot of people express faith, idk, but he may be able to give you some more insight?
  12. It looks good to me, the centering may detract, but as far as the grader notes re-pressing if you get more sigs may add to the detraction making it a 9.2. If buying another one is an option do that! This looks like a great book There seems to be a flaw reaching between the P and the I of Spiderman, unless that is on the case...
  13. I think @Architecht there was a procedure to do it, as all the accounts that I know of have merged Architecht shoudld be able to help with an account merge....
  14. The "power of love" song was on the radio when I read this post; good times I remember seeing some more recently but didn't know that it was any kind of error, so I got some information. It's hard to flip through all these Lethal Protector's knowing that I see Sam de la Rosa at every con here in Dallas always with more of them and doing sketch cover's. I've stopped to talk with him about it, he seems decent enough, I'm just surprised so many people want him to sketch on this cover. I guess if the price is right?
  15. I would get it pressed though, might be the only way to win that fight! I did with an ASM 129 still waiting to hear back, but I cracked it myself and saw that the book looked to be in good shape but had a significant spine roll. PGX gave it a 5.5, so I'm hoping for better But I wanted it cracked to look at it first etc. I don't know if you can get grader's notes on the other guys so maybe cracking is an option. Of course CGC would be happy to do it for you
  16. veddy intahresting it should be obvious to do that but maybe not to some........that are new as I was, and I still kind of am
  17. That's what I'd say too, seems Marvel isn't making much sense, some wires crossed somewhere
  18. Maybe Marvel/Disney is trying to prevent the people just buying and slabbing and not reading to get a 9.8?
  19. I can agree with that It's just the way other people made it sound--- No Worries And I hope you don't go!! for whatever reason not many people post, I'm glad that you did and kept the convo going with a good spirit I know you posted about comics and I don't exactly know the reason other's were annoyed, if posts were about comics then they have no fight in the battle----- Stay chum, you're right at home!! @Marwood & I
  20. Your kidding right? Dear supposed fan of our company product it has been determined that you can no longer support/contribute to said company/product that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. no soup for you
