ADAMANTIUM

Nu uh mistah fancy pants!

There is a song called Jesus of Suburbia but it's kind of a lame punk rock anthem.

I wasn't going to start a thread there, because hurricane and it being more important, but I don't know if I should be hopeful or worried. Lord's hands, a good place to be! but it'll melt yo face!

I'm anticipating the score change announcement, they didn't even tease an example, only that they will update in a thread soon enough

I feel that was kind of always true, just more public now. With the fast pace 2 years that will correct, it was more in your face and more often. I'm just hoping they made enough to reinvest and actually take an interest, which is usually is what happened before too. I know I see younger than me at least I didn't know if it was true everywhere. I'm sure people don't read everything they buy, which was true of the late 80s and 90s and so on.. I've heard marvel say they deviate from comic --script on purpose,, so I'm not sure the movies should be the "only" driving force. If we can put comics or Pokémon on a level playing field with video games, then I say we got a shot to make it last. I know the modern comic video games have had some surge in interest, and a lot of people are tired of just 1st person shooters. It'll have its niche, but nostalgia is forever? Hopes

Which one? Edit I think I do own the 2010 reg cover, it had flirted with value but never stuck. Did kid apocalypse ever make it to the cgc label? Trying to find out why

I don't have a lot of social, so are you saying there is a next generation still buying comics?

Not sure how not got in there, would have been for naught.

Seinfeld had a lot of good stuff! Wasn't it where they couldn't leave it unplugged for too long? I have arcades, but as I'm the only one, I don't leave them on all the time nor plugged in with sound 😂

I get that, maybe he doesn't hear it form others enough? And I hear you, ironically I'm thinking you sound the exact same to him Because he does collect them and sees it all the time, that's why it was mentioned the voice of "reason". Facts should never be disparaged. The only time they are is by, we'll usually, by someone who wants to leave them covered up. "I'm " not saying that's you, or even him really. Just it should be a regular part of the conversation, imo. But that's neither here nor there. In the end this will affirm newsstands what cgc is taking up? To be sure, we'd like the facts to be affirmed 1st and most of all. With the estimated stuff, if it ever comes to light, then we can say YAY! Believe me a lot of boardies would be right there with you, but you and I are new, they've been waiting a lot longer than us, to no avail. That's why it's frustrating because the ones who might have possibly confirmed are dying or gone with no mention. If the facts died to as "the known facts" we wouldn't want that either.

I still don't ever get the ebay promotions either come to think of it. Since they've discontinued on every purchase, I get nothing.

When I came in, in 2016/17, it seemed they were every month, then every other month, then every 3 months. At the time and since I was new, I was like holy Cause I got that ebay probably lost on the Collectibles category with those coupons, but I just feel bad I didn't learn of them sooner! Then by 2018 2019 they were all gone, if only I had returned a little sooner, but then I'd probably have another set of complaints.

I think your passion is real, nothing wrong with that, but just like you don't take the listings posted rarity at face value, because you know better through your research? Everyone here is saying the same thing, and trying to quantify unknowable with numbers and ratios makes us know better with our own research. It makes the listings look like they're trying to be slick about it, with numbers and such. Also when there truly is a knowable fact with newsstands as @valiantmanhas proven on more than one occasion, it makes those that see and hear not believe because the unknowable also had charts and graphs.. If nonsense gets allowed it will muddy facts in the end,, not unlike crying wolf. @paqart It's no harm no foul to state the for sure facts and mention the unknowable could be estimated, just don't take estimates as facts. Definitely don't feel defensive when the facts are stated. Anyway, I'm sure you know how you do things, I won't pretend to know the big picture. No worries mate.

Ya flying donut in posting was practically saying the same sort, just don't be slick about it. That comes with as much truth as possible, and don't make assumptions. That's just ethics. He didn't say they weren't rare or anything that would disprove the "market" for them. He's just face value kind of seller and buyer. We can also realize that more modern newsstands are "rare" without all the qualifiers that make you look knowledgeable when your not. No one likes a slick car salesperson. That's just the way it is, we get they're rare, you don't have to devolve into hype. I believe that, that's why I can collect them, but keep it real and honest is called ethics. Ethics are real, and there is no way that facts that "can't be known" should then be assumed. Ethics This car I haven't checked the breaks but hey most cars have working ones! I wouldn't buy the car, it's that simple take that as an example

But you get the point, I get yours. The disclaimer should be that they could be that rare, not the disclaimer as no one knows but on my own research. It should read: There is know way of knowing how rare or a way to quantify these Newsstands during such an such period. Disclaimer it could be as rare as ratios? It should not say: Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! 1:100 Newsstand, maybe even as rare 1:1000! And that's it.

@Funnybooks I was wondering if the confused reaction was similar to greggy, but you could have thrown me a hint after my rambling that he posted recently 😆 🤣 😂

OK but these 1:100 listings? Do they state they made up that number or at the very least say, "it's an estimate waiting on further proof?" If you find 1, you can win a "No prize!" Till then? People will always need a voice of reason like @FlyingDonut and others
