Get Marwood & I

I will.

High grade? No, they're all gloriously crappy copies. It started with the L Miller Indicia nonsense and went on from there. Got some good news on the L Miller front coming soon actually. There's going to be charts and everything. I can actually feel the boards trembling with excitement and keen anticipation.

One! One like from @ADAMANTIUM, ah, ha ha ha hah

Ah, ha ha ha hah

One! One tatty copy of Gunsmoke Western #58, ah, ha ha ha hah Two! Two tatty copies of Gunsmoke Western #58, ah, ha ha ha hah Three! Three tatty copies of Gunsmoke Western #58, ah, ha ha ha hah What are you some kind of ****? Ah, ha ha ha hah

Funnier? You have to be funny in the first place to be funnier. Don't you?

Don't take it personally - you can wait a long time for a response around here sometimes...

OK @Harry Lime, do I win or what! Got four of em now

Good point. CGC have set a precedent by grading single pages. Would they grade half a page? A key first appearance panel? A Marvel Value Stamp?

No, that was doves.

On this, we agree.

Well he does you 25 times a day

Now that's not the kind of language we expect from a FOTY now is it greggy? Still, now that I have your attention, would you like to take this opportunity to explain what the bulk liking of JSJ is all about? Is it a protest? A funny joke? Enlighten us oh great one.

That's absolutely preposterous Hector. So it will probably happen.

Buy greggy a present with it. He can put it next to his awards.

I'm here but I'm afraid I don't know the answers to your questions. Sorry.

Pages aren't graded. Isn't 'no grade' a grade in the same way that zero is a number?

Misfits?! The main culprit is Forumite of the Flippin Year @sacentaur!

I used to collect cows too. I packed them in or divorced them once it became clear though.

I agree. If a complete book has value (financial, rarity etc), and is in decent shape, no one sensible is going to take it apart. If it is a fairly common book in low grade with missing pieces / pages etc, then 'destroying' it is hardly the crime of the century. It's not as if there are not others in plentiful supply to represent it's complete existence. There are many benefits to splitting up a book - the owner gets more money by breaking it up. He may need the money. More people get the chance to own a piece of history that would be financially out of their reach if complete. CGC gets work. The end graded product can be aesthetically pleasing. Like Bomber-Bob, I didn't like the idea at first. If you love comics, pulling them apart is an alien concept at first glance. But once you've got over your purist self, it can actually be a good thing. And at the end of the day, it gets dark. Also, it's no ones business really but the owners and the buyers. One related question from me. CGC legitimise the practice by grading single pages. Do those single pages add to the census count, e.g. there are 10,000 graded copies of AF #15, 500 of which are single pages (graded NG)? If so, one split up book could add 20 copies to the numbers. How does that part work?

My point is the characters motivation Agree. We are expected to believe that Homecoming is set with Peter still at school and, therefore, both the origin event and Uncle Ben's death are in the very recent past. I don't recall any scene that even briefly revisited that pain, doubt and it's associated future motivation. Was there one and I missed it? If so, it couldn't have been that powerful or clear. If not, that may explain why I found the whole thing so emotionally uninvolving. I know the back story as well as anyone. But in a 'fresh' portrayal, to not include some reference to the characters driving force makes the new actor's interpretation seem oddly trivial. I may have to go and see the film again. I wanted so much to like it, and I hated it. I've seen things before that I hated on first showing and then grew to like. Whether Tobey or Garfield were well cast or not, I liked them and believed in them. I found Holland to be totally without depth.
