Get Marwood & I

Nice colours. If I was putting that on Ebay, from what I can see (bottom right creasing, top left impact bend (?) back cover light staining, lower staple tears) I would go 5.0 to 5.5

Come to think of it, why is the Amazing Spider-Man collecting thread? Has he run out of webbing or something?

Who's paying for my scotch? Roy. He's loaded from what I can see.

I feel bad about it now @namisgr, but I once hit a spider with a rolled up news paper and he went 'ouch' and scuttled off. I'm not sure I would be able to do the same, if hit by a proportionately upscaled copy of The Daily Bugle? I've just been reading this thread, or the last few pages anyway. One of my problems is I lose concentration quickly and end up cat-scanning posts. So I tend to miss crucial points. That said, my take on this occasion is that @Jaydogrules (a most modest moniker, don't you think?) seems to want to belittle and discredit experienced comic people's opinions for fun, in a particularly humourless, sour and unappealing way because a particular book sold for a particular price on a particular day, and this in turn means that white pages can have no merit. Maybe I've got that wrong though. But ask yourself this. Right or wrong, who would you rather have a drink down the pub with - @G.A.tor, @namisgr, Vintage Roy or our Jaydog? End of message.

Have to say, of that 8,000 many were 'duplicates', e.g. pence copy, MJI copy, etc. But in respect of your point above, many were the kind of comics you would only buy if you were a completist. Only a completist would buy 'Marvel Adventures Spider-Man' for example. No regular comic store would go out of their way to stock that title. As a completist, that's where Mile High came in handy as they have the resources to keep the drek in stock. Extreme completism I wouldn't recommend. If it could go back, the money I spent on every issue of 'Power Pack' with Spidey in for example I would put towards a key, or just any other non-Spidey book title that I liked the look of. If you look at the 40 or so variant covers to the ASM v3 #1 relaunch, while it was cool to have the set, most of the covers were poor / done for the sake of it. You stand back and look at them all laid out, they look great as a group, then it hits you you've spent £1,000 on 40 terrible covers.

Who they Jay? ?

Splendid, thank you Architecht ?

I added 'josh and George ' and got Any nearer?

I typed 'comiclink gpa boards' into Google and got this: Is that it?

There's been quite a few pence related threads down the years. I'll have to googleate it and see if i can find it. But this is the best one

Thanks guys. Funny thing is, I haven't picked up a pencil to draw anything in over 20 years. Can't help but think I should've made more of it.

That's what I used to tell my Dad I wanted every time we got ten feet down the road as a kid.

I've never been a fan of his rap music. Biggy Smalls was much more talented No, Doddy! ? Didn't really work did it. ?

You were supposed to say "Diddy?" Ken.

I know! Did you know he wrote the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody?

Good point Harry. Hopefully Ken Dodd's in tonight and will give us his thoughts soon ?

We all knew it was coming I guess. Given the depth of feeling towards it, it would have been nice if CGC or someone on the staff could have made an announcement saying that it was closing, and what that meant for things like the search history capability, birthdays etc. Arch seems to me to be running the show single handedly and he must be so busy. But a few well timed, well judged pieces of communication once in a while would really help us all along. It gets frustrating always having to react to things as they happen, out of the blue, and then to have so many questions left hanging. I can understand that questions in general threads may get missed or ignored, but many of the ones in the valid questions section get ignored. I would like to see everything raised there have an initial acknowledgment response from the admin team, so we don't feel we're talking to ourselves. Resources may be a factor, but the communication for this whole change event has not been great, and continues to not be great. And I really like the new boards.

I care.

I agree. Much more poignant.

Putting aside the obvious ones, I was quite put out when Stegron bought it. You'd have had to have had a heart of stone to not shed a tear as his little Stegron claw sunk under that icy cold water....

I've missed you Batman. Don't lurk in those shadows too long from now on eh? ?

Try saying that while you're eating one.
