  1. I completely agree. This is an ABSOLUTE MESS! The pictures alone are a HUGE problem, but removing the top of screen arrow, moving post count and making the entire system user unfriendly is just a horrible idea. Why not It is 2020. Just degrade everything we love..
  2. I thought that was in The Steam Man of the Prairies circa 1868. Which also later inspired Frank L Baum's Tik-Tok
  3. For better protection I have switched from using cardboard sandwiches to foam board. The foam board is more rigid stands up to impacts better and is lighter. I have been using this for years and to me it may cost a little for ( per small package) but anyone who has ever received my packages would say they are bomb proof. It also adds flexibility to build up any size box you need. I have shipped anything from cards to long boxes using this method and both local and international. ) also why you see the security tape ( only way to ship registered insure International) it definitely makes a nice rigid box. I switched to painters tape with edge folded like flag for easy removal. Nothing worse than a comic damaged when you try to open it. now with single comics I like to take the foam board and cut it where it is twice the size of the book then cut the middle most of the way through so it will fold then sandwich the book in and use the painter's tape. Then I will wrap that in one layer of bubble wrap inside of a Gemini. If it is more expensive then , instead of a Gemini, I will build my own box out of the foam board that holds the sandwich with bubble wrap around it.
  4. Thank you. I know my internet connection being like old dial up AOL will probably not let me even consider taking it, I always like seeing some of these error books and they are awesome to find unexpectedly! At first when I didn't see it I figured it got pulled and you were keeping it. Which I would not blame you.
  5. Here are a few of the artists and images they have done that make me Alex Ross Gabriele Dell'Otto Simone Bianchi Michael Turner The Master
  6. If only it were that easy.. At this point I am just going to combine these two with a dash of nostalgia. He was so hocked up on Flintstones Vitamins by now his list is probably 10 million strong and growing.
  7. There's the list! I still have the screenshot of the last back and forth right before that one was Banished. He had completely come unglued and ended up with a vacation. I wish I could share that one here , but not only would i get pernts i too would probably get a vacation.
  8. Yeah but you have probably been huffing those vitamin pencils again so how reliable is your confirmation? Maybe we should get @greggyto ask you to prove it?
  9. Completely agree. Really wish we had a special thread that showed all the threads that went just for entertaining. Like a best of craigslist. A who is " Keyser Soze" thread of sorts..
  10. It hasn't even reached Friday Thread status, much less Best of anything yet.

  13. I would second the whole Dylanverse. but there was also a really good one from the tales of a Back to the Future #NN Promo that just went crazy because apparently I can do this all day. but now that these have been named well
