I believe the Amateur distinction is due to the trimming, not teh CT. CT is differentiated between (A) and (P) by the colouring medium. Amateur is pen or marker, essentially

where is that ohnoes graemlin?

the wanking?

mister economics professor may play one at his place of work, but either he doesn't know shiest about how the comic book marketplace works for 9.9 and 10.0 prices on wildly, superly, enormously popluar books of which they printed sixteen pantloads. or he does, and he's ignoring it. there's certainly enough evidence to parse out an answer but gosh if i have the time or energy to do so

PLEASE.

those are effin' sweeeeet

True, but it's been brought to my attention that there were multiple prints of that issue subbed, so the old Hanlon quote is probably germane here; "Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

boy, you got to think that there's some culpability for the guy who subbed the book to cgc, as when it came back with a 1st print label on it, selling it as such would be fraudulent. assuming the submitter knew what print it was when it was subbed. which is an assumption i'd make, given the breadth of the collection

scans or it didn't happen.

you should probably call CGC about this.

good God, Andy. brah-vo

word son

Looks like David S. LaForce or whatever his name was. The craptastic one

I loves me some obscure 30 year old Dungeons & Dragons references. I know you pictured that Umber Hulk kicking up his heels as well. Erol Otus? I don't want to google it, dammit

the fingh repellant aspect makes it worth doing it all by itself

Cant flip through them / read them for free that way

My understanding is that it was due to a number of factors, including a revision of their PQ criteria and a change in the way the grading room was illuminated. Board revolt was not one of the factors I've heard

i want to say "sweet book," but it's a Jimmy Olsen, but it's a nice copy, but it's a Jimmy Olsen

My nostalgic remembrances say that you are a poopy head. Your nostalgic remembrances are clearly both concussed and drunk. Plus, I feel sorry for you that you've got such a craptastic selection of things with which to wax nostalgic that this could even make the list. I've had loose bowel movements I'm more nostalgic about than this steaming pile of a miniseries You mentioned poop three times. I have no doubt my nostalgia is warped and damaged much like the rest of me. I am a sentimental dipwad and usually go googoo for the unwanted junk sometimes. I like strays and SWII fits that bill. I am awash with anticipation for the 2012 Xmas season so that I may be able to spread the joy of SWII to you and Fingh and all the rest of the jaded souls that have missed the pure happiness that is SWII. yeah, i noticed that after i posted it and was torn between adding a fourth or removing all of them, then ultimately decided i would be lazy and leave it alone. SW2 is not only a stray, it needs to be put down. fingh may have a chance at redemption, but i am too far gone

i think i've seen that Challs before somewhere

I knew it was over when I read that Al Milgrom was going to have a substantial role in the creation of this miniseries. Such disappointment. For whatever strengths he possessed, this time for him at Marvel was not one of artistic excellence. Disappointed because the fact someone like Art Adams or John Byrne or even Bob Layton wasn't doing the art, I had absolute assurance nobody cared, it was a money grab, and it was going to suck. Pretty spot on, if I must say so. One wonders how much of it was painful for all concerned to write, draw, letter, color and edit. Shooter must have been drunk a lot

5 paragraphs is too much. Especially, if they are long. I say 200 words or less. 200 words? Can you hold back the force of a hurricane with a tissue paper fan? Can you capture the tempestuous fury of a tsunami in a dixie cup? Do either the hurricane or tsunami post on a comic book message board deep within the bowels of the interewebs? If your answer is 'no,' then all your fancy metaphor and silly syllogisms are rendered moot. Hee hee. "Gisms."

No, you don't. At least not on this board; they were gone by the time I got here
