Get Marwood & I

I like the absence of cover pricing, dates etc on that - it would be striking without the 'Artima...' blurb.

That is a good one

Here's the poster from 1988, courtesy of Google:

Happy 60th Birthday to the first two UK printed price variants One a Miller, and one a Thorpe & Porter (albeit with no UK indicia) Happy Birthday Pence Variants

One down.... ...one to go. Haunted #70 will complete the set...

Ah, sorry about that Awe. I knew there was another thread somewhere, but do you think I could find it? And I see I posted in it too! Hopefully a kindly mod will see this and merge mine into yours

Deliberate, I'm sure

She's everywhere..... ....happily...

Here we go - Marvel Fanfare #50: https://unpublishedxmen.blogspot.com/2013/12/x-factor-unknown.html?m=0

Hi Mike, Here's a little technical tip that you might not know. On my Samsung tablet and phone, in Chrome, if I press and hold the image firmly for a second it brings up this command box: If you click on 'Search Google for this image' it will bring up results where the image is fearured online - here's the result: KomicKarl, the artist, (Karl Altstaetter) has his own web page there and the art page is discussed. It doesn't always work - it has to be a good image and it has to be online somewhere - but it's a good quick workaround to quickly find information. Browsers are different, but I can get the same command box when I right click an image on a desktop too. No luck with the XF though - I'll have to go manual on that one! Wish me luck....

Odd listing isn't it, on reflection. Ross died in 1993 and the book came out in 2007. So why would a draft text dated 2005 have a space for his signature? And if Mike was still alive, why would he's be a facsimile? The seller looks reputable - I suspect they got ripped off by someone.

Right. Thanks. Anyway, getting back on topic - Newton Rings: they're undesirable.

If 9.5 is Gem Mint, what is 10?

For that comment Triple-B, you're going to go to Hell and attend art classes with Rob Liefeld for all Eternity

It's a wind up, surely?

That's always been my argument - ring free slabs are wonderful, if you like that sort of thing. Great product, great looking thing if that's your bag. When it goes wrong though, it's a disaster. How they have dealt with that disaster in the past, and even now, is what bugs me as an observer. The under current seems to be that it's your fault, your judgement that is off, not theirs. I don't like that in any company, hence the posts. If they owned it, gave a first class remedial service, and actively promoted their attempts to find a solution, this thread likely wouldn't exist.

I see what you mean but it still looks normal to me - and things tend to look much look worse when you magnify them. I'm confident it's a legit copy that hasn't been tampered with. Enjoy it

Over 6K of declared value moving back and forth there... Why do you keep it up Pie (no snark intended)?

I'd almost forgotten about this thread. There's not a lot of NR posting lately is there, happily. I wonder if that means they've more or less fixed it. This example is rotten though and its interesting that the official position doesn't seem to have changed, i.e. it's normal / reholder if bad etc. Where they say "no guarantee a reholder will solve it", I wonder if anyone has demanded - and received - a full refund? What happens when the customer is still dissatisfied?

Very rich person maybe, at home in lockdown, bored and reliving their youth?

I was typing my response when the notification that someone else had just posted popped up. You never know whether to read that first or just carry on! I did the latter and, thankfully, it seems we're on the same page
