Get Marwood & I

Always! You stuck around

In a few years time that will probably be a real grade. Trump Simpsons appearance all over again

Hello @Convention dude94 and welcome! Here is an example from eBore for you to consider: As you can see, it hasn't sold. If it had a Mark Jewelers insert, it may go for slightly more than a copy without one. Or it may not. If it had a Pizzazz insert in it, it would be a fake. Maybe see if you could get Stan to sign it in blood? That seems to be the latest thing. Or poo. Although that may actually affect the value in a negative way, as people tend not to like poo on their comics, even if it came from a famous arse. Quick question - are you over the age of 12? I have an issue with people mocking newbies if they are young children. If you are a fully fledged adult though, and have a full set of sandwiches in your picnic basket, would you mind if I mercilessly mocked you too? P.S. Please reply. We're all getting slightly fed up with one time questioners

When's the big reveal @Finhead ?

Want a job at CGC?

If it's a 9.0 I'm never going to let you forget it Bob

(Off camera) "OK everyone, I want you all to stand perfectly still while I take the shot. No moving - I want everyone completely still! "Sue" "What?" "Sue!" "What!?" "Have you farted?" "You cheeky sod, no I have not! Stop trying to make me laugh. It was Black Bolt" "It wasn't!" "Bet it was. Smells like one of his." "It wasn't!" "Jeeeeesus, what's that!" "For crying out loud it wasn't me!" "Ben" "Ben!" "Ben!" "He's stunned into silence by it. As am I." "I didn't bloody do it!"

I'm going to go mad. 9.0

me too

I like all the stories actually. 8's cover always seemed a bit lazy though. And all the copies i owned were slightly grubby - the yellow really accentuated the lack of eye appeal! Only got one pence copy now.

Perfect

ASM #8 was always my favourite. But only when I was in the parallel universe in which ASM #8 was the only issue in existence.

Well, not being a fan I just looked it up and.....

Subtle as a brick, as always!

Evening boys! Jeepers, what a day I've had. One of those days where every lunatic in the vicinity seems to gravitate towards you (get your jokes in now). Anyway, I pondered this thread today while driving around trying to avoid the aforementioned nutters (or 'other people' as I sometimes alternatively call them) and came to the conclusion that pretty much everything I feel on the subject I said in the first 'deaderer' thread. I'd like there to be more interaction here, yes. What's the point otherwise? But there isn't and I think we've just moved into a different phase much like the industry itself has. All the stuff I like is old hat, and it's been done to death (albeit I think I did well to give Charlton pence books a first board airing!). I really think I'd have had a great time here if I'd joined 10 years earlier. Late to the party I was, and I feel I missed the stage where I could have played a decent part. The search function tells me (when it works) that there was once quite a crowd here who would debate pence books - my main interest - but they've all scarpered now, alas. I do think there are things that could be done to encourage participation, but few seem interested in exploring them. We like to moan too much don't we! So, the boards aren't dead, and they'll go on, but the 'golden age' of participation may have passed and the crowd has begun to dwindle. I do feel sad about it. I know a few reading this will be thinking 'who does he think he is, he's only been here 6 minutes' and that's fair enough. Comics remain my main interest in life outside of family and friends. So it pains me to see this place dry up, as I have really enjoyed participating. But sometimes you just have to accept that things aren't how you want them to be. There may be some people here who think this is 'their' golden age though. Great. Good for them. Out with the old etc. So I'm going to carry on updating my pence threads for the few that follow them, chatting with my two board buddies in our ridiculously long mucking about PM, and chipping in here and there when a topic takes my fancy. Mucking about in the WC can be a laugh, as is prodding the odd ego. And I do like to rib Arch at every opportunity, because he deserves it for creating divisions, failing to act fairly and abandoning us. There, I did it again Pizza coming now boys. Have fun

I agree with the sentiments personally, but he can't go on forever in the manner we'd like, a bit like the boards (see lizard threads), music, TV, etc etc Now, do us a favour and make that ASm title m a capital M would you? It's troubling me

I actually did all that! You forgot pence, Canadians, Australians, Pizzazz inserts, misprints..... What to do after achieving it though, that's the thing

Three! Three threads on the death of the boards, ah, ha, ha, ha, hah No Count gif this time. Can't find it. Mike, I'm off to work shortly and will respond more fully later tonight. Let's stop beating about the bush - we haven't got any allies in the admin department to debate this with so perhaps someone needs to put our thoughts to the CGC owners instead. You started this third thread - what do you think the problem is, and what do you think would help correct the palpable sense of decline? What do you mean by 'pathetic responses to issues'? We can post silly / meaningful gifs all day long. Tell us what you think should happen, like I did a few pages into your first thread Or, let's all accept that the heyday is over, and the new norm is 60% water cooler, 20% one upmanship fighting, 5% inane questions and 2% threads about comics. And 6% threads about adding up. See you in about 8 hours!

To stop his tears from knocking it down to a VG

Yes. But, alas, Shorn of Justice. I've always liked what most haven't though, so no matter

Can you hear that? That's the sound of an 8 year old boy, crying himself to sleep Only kidding. He's 7. I've answered quite a few first posters questions recently. They never return to see the answer. Seems to be the way. They were good answers too.
