  2. Just wanted to say one last time---- Nobody's chicken little I had already started a "new reply" before I saw someone had responded to my original post My Apologies (no chickens were harmed producing my posts)
  3. The sky is not falling" and I am not chicken little. But, this guy is bragging about knocking out dealers and saying they cannot compete with his business model..he looks like he enjoys getting more control..I don't see this as hoarding, I see it as something else......I see a plan....I see a reason for this plan...just don't know the details but my alarm bells are going off when dealers sell 100K -120K comic books lots for 1500..and he complains that it cost more to drive them home...... I agree your not chicken little !!! No one is in this situation....I didn't mean to grind any gears... It's just well not much anyone can do....and I agree it is a cause for concern and I agree he has to have an endgame, but.... I don't know, I just don't want to "believe" he would do it I guess, I guess I'll have to be shaken out of shock the he would? takes guts to become the most disliked in an industry....(how I would take it)
  4. Say he has 11 mil comics average print run of 250,000 and all his 11 mil are high grade copies that ruin the market thats forty-four comic key's that he's put into over saturation I mean I guess I see the point ANYTHING "COULD" HAPPEN- Chicken Little And we're basically figuring out how he could do it for him--- Sorry I didn't see your reply in time---if that is his plan and he can do it===it's called capitalism but that plan (or most of it) would take time----from what I've learned capitalism is a finicky business so.... I guess, Anything can happen?? time will tell---ADAMANTIUM
  5. This is a wall of massive text?? but exactly how would this "dumping on the market" occur? 1)Is is just because he has a bunch of comics and he sells them cheap? so everyone has a copy? driving prices down? 2_He sells them expensive? but there are a million of 1 particular issue that there is just an over abundance of it? driving prices down If he has them all on his website, anyway, then are we saying this is for sure going to happen? If he sells them cheap 1) we get copies cheap If he sells them expensive as he is doing, 2) we get them cheap somewhere else.... How is this dumping going to occur?? He gives them away? flooding the market? the fact is there are per se a million of each comic out there anyway, how does one person/company owning its share mean anything to anyone call me an insufficiently_thoughtful_person if you need to, just saying If were going to say that he owns everything and controls the market, then if that drives prices up so expensive that we can't buy anything unless we buy from him.... then wouldn't that mean what we already own we could sell for what he's selling them for and then buy the comics we need at the inflated prices, plus there are millions (im sure) of other comic owners in the world to think that he is "cornering" a market is ridiculous.... just like others buying CGC copies of a single comic and hoarding them If he owns all the "high grade" CGC and we just buy lower grade, how is that any different than it is now we just buy what we can afford, because any serious collector is going to think "his" prices are insane compared to yours----
  6. This. Link? If your talking about the joker lamp...... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Multi-color-Change-LED-3D-Jack-Joker-Lamp-Table-Desk-Touch-Control-Night-Light-/262603349470?hash=item3d24611dde:g:Mj4AAOSwdIFXx4c7 just put into ebay Joker 3d lamp, it changes colors too I did the epacket from china in the link soo-----can be trusted only $1 cheaper than other sellers but I was patient (from china?? what was i thinking ) anyway do the search cause there are different types of 3d lamps
  7. Sweet!! The Hulk show is iconic. I was manufactured in '81 so HULK was one of the first hero shows I watched....
  8. Oh well now I feel bad, I don't want to give anyone false hope.... could be that they were graded and since some of them were MJI's I thought they all were Anyway I'll live and learn, would be nice if anyone out there had an idea, buuuut
  9. Oh and they were CGC'd they were graded...... forgot to add that
  10. Just to clarify, I've never seen a magazine size comic with the MJI in person or in a photo. Sandflea stated he had the run of MP #'s 16-25 with the MJI and no one has to my knowledge corroborated or contested that magazines with the MJI exist. MCS for instance lists hundreds of comics with MJI's on their site, but not a single Magazine size. You'd think after all these years one would have come through their doors. Marvel Preview is a saddle-stitch, is it not? Also, nice find with the ASM #134. To be honest I can't find the sold search on the bay, but I KNOW that I saw one of them either the Marvel Preview or the GSSM 4 with it, and I really want to say that I saw the ASM 129, 135, GSSM 4, AND the MP2 all in one listing.....with the MJI I want to say that a board member said they'd never seen either GSSM 4 or the MP with it and in fact said another board member said there wouldn't be one for some odd reason, probably because of what you were saying about the saddle stich.... But I know this sounds like a lot of hear say, but I can definitlly state for fact is was one of them because I said I'd get that next, sigh, but it might have been both TBH BUT anyway that's why I am looking for them I'll post if I find either...
  11. Does this count as a statue or should it be over in "plastic crack..." anyway I thought it was cool for $18. Lasts 13000 hours or 18 months sumpin like that... MR J
  12. I'm a little dissapointed that there may not be a Giant Size Spiderman 4 with the Mark Jeweler's insert... and it's possible that there is a Marvel Preview that does? But if "squarebound" books mean that there aren't MJI then why does MP have one? MP is a "squarebound" but it IS a magazine.....anyway, I'm looking to get a Punisher appearance run with MJI here is my latest addition, the 134. I already have the 129 and 135, but this is a new addition
  13. I don't think Metal PSI... reads minds... I didn't know which websites either and had no idea it was in previous pages
  14. MetalPSI just thought that he already new the answer---if he didn't know then he didn't know
  15. Well we're not really saying "he will do it" right? so all this is speculatory, but even if it did happen and it affected short term values, we would all start buying at the lower price knowing the market would absorb it and then have---comics we love or investment profit-- or both If he is reading this.... Is he threatning to do this at all? mentioned that he controls the market? or are we talking about if his descendants inherit then choose to unload....?
  16. Didn't he do "little black book"? He only had 10 copies on JSC website, of sketch-color etc you can buy that book for like $35 graded 9.8 on ebay don't get me wrong I own a copy, and I love JSC, but to think that it make or break the industry is wishful thinking I'm guessing MJ and Black Cat are like his "signature" or mark right now, it would be nice for him to move on a bit and give us some variety. some of the little black book that I think are JSC like a full black cover one is just ugly but idk I know he can draw though: you rock JSC
  17. THOSE ARE PRETTY SAHWEET!! I especially like the bubble gum Harley's --- they seem original Also the Suicide Squad on the "ride" is pretty cool--------Congrat's---they took care of them pretty well not all 9.8's but 9.6's with a sketch is not too bad
  18. There's no squarebound comics with MJI's, so no GS Spidey #4. I'm not familiar with the history of MJI's in magazine size comics, but Sandflea mentioned having a run of Marvel Preview #'s 16-25 with them, so I suppose it's possible #2 has one as it was published after the inserts started appearing in the comics. Thanks for the update!! I really thought that I had seen a MP#2 with one and someone commenting on the boards they hadn't seen one before but that was a while back, wasn't sure.... When you say "squarebound comics" umm what does that mean..? Giant Size Spiderman # 4 was squarbound? Yes, the Giant-Size ASM's are squarebound. If you look inside the cover you'll see a staple that goes through each page, and the cover is glued to the flat part of the spine. On a "saddle stitch" cover staples will go through the top leaf(cover or page) through the centerfold. Hope that makes sense. Yes that makes sense, I can tell that GSSM #4 is made different from normal comics as I have one graded so I own one...so it made it easy to follow I thought that it "looked" different but I didn't know that was referred to being "squarebound"---heh I learned something

  20. I didn't buy any of these (love venom though) but I'm excited to see what it is for y'all It's like when I watched my brother opening Christmas presents, what will y'all get that I'll want (i'm an "older" brother)
  21. that was FUNNY I do remember drawing pictures of Azrael in 3rd grade on my notebooks though... IT'S GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK
  22. Do you know if there is a Marvel Preview #2 with an MJI?? seems like I saw one on the bay when I first looked them up....but maybe that was wishful thinking Also I assume Giant Size SM #4 also has the MJI's??
  23. What happens when a lot or all ASM 129's are graded already, such is the case with most GSXM #1's....I don't know does it make you feel like your just buying a grade label. Maybe I'm overthinking, I just like to speculate a grade and send it to CGC,,,, But with popular books that are sent to CGC in mass quantities (Coneheads) if you have a low grade of such collector's issues, will it be more of a selling point to sell non-graded? when you part with them, I'm overthinking this aren't I ?
  24. Are they really $500 and UP?? I thought that was the price in pesos... but guess I was wrong
