    I'm considering having my CGC SS comic book submitted for a new re-holder but first I'd like to have the rusty staples replaced. Currently, the comic book has been graded at a 9.8. Will replacing the rusty staples bring the comic book grade down once its submitted for re-holder? 

    And you can't crack out then submit for a reholder.

    All Clear! Really?

    It generally makes more financial sense to sell books individually. 

    Obviously this takes more work, so maybe just break out the keys and sell the rest in lots?

    How many people are looking to buy the full Sandman series? By selling it as one lot, you are losing 98% of your potential buyers and the few who are looking for a full run would expect a discount for them.

    I don't dislike you. Have you ever messaged me privately to discuss it rather than keep bringing it up in public? I hate public drama, believe it or not.

    I found some of your past posts overly dramatic and I distanced myself because of them. Nothing more. And maybe it was nothing at the time and I just over reacted.

    It's not a big deal and I certainly don't have any animosity towards you.I've already stated that.

    Amazing that a vindictive post like this can still stand in a thread that moderation is reading daily. ???

    You realize there's an ignore feature that works better than the 'I don't like this about this person' feature, right?

    I don't know.

    Do you think talking about other people is a good solution to boredom? I don't.

    When did you see me roast Kav last? Maybe when he first joined years ago? And we (Kav and I) discussed it via PM, I got to know more about Kav and I dropped it. His 1000's of posts a day, his 'that's what she said' - all of it was bothersome personally, but I don't think I mentioned it once publicly. I just IGNORED it. That's the proper way to do it.

    When did you see me roast Cal?

    Greggy? He knows that everyone does it out of good fun and it's accepted in a good way, not a bad way. I've never done anything to actually hurt greggy. Even if he enjoys it. :jokealert:

     

    The difference is that when you get along with someone and you crack a joke, you're laughing with them.

    The people I get along with joke about me all the time and I don't care. I laugh about myself.

    But when people go out of their way to dislike you AND joke about you, that's an entirely different thing when someone is laughing AT you.

    Yeah, yeah, don't be a woos, chin up, be a man, I get it.

    But it gets tiring. Especially when it feels like it's done with impunity.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    I'll say it again:

    Most people's differences are because of social media. In real life you'd never get reactions like this.

    Most people would be utterly embarrassed if they acted in real life the way they act on social media...or they wouldn't even get that far. They'd just realize it was wrong.

    These “signings” really amaze me. They get some second rate “hot” digital comic artist to sign tons of comics in a closed room with no fans present. And the prices and “tiers” are insane. People just accept it, eat it up and pay probably more than the books are really worth.

    To me, getting a book signed by one of the greats was always such a wonderful experience. Never did it for the money.

     

    I'm not into mail in sig only, but I love the remarque/sketch option. I don't go to shows and cons, but I want original art from my favorite artists on my graded books. Suits me perfectly.

    Said it before, saying it again: Quit whining, bring on the signings.
