the first half of '05, at least

That quote is from 2006, to boot. Plus ce change and all that

What, me snarky? Naaahhhhh. Never. Especially not towards someone as venerated as OG. Besides, I have no one to send links to Fast Willie Jackson auctions anymore now that he's gone, and I just now have gotten used to not doing that

Just some of the newbs that have joined in the past year. Holy deja vu, Batman!!!1!

This thread has developed a very Luxxian feel to it all of a sudden, for some reason

Apparently just bought this from Heritage for about 25% less than Overstreet. I assume the popped lower staple is the culprit, but still I think two copies of this book in my collection is fun.

When The Fart Drops, You've Trashed Your A**?

I've never, never understood why Stephen chose to go this particular route. He's a smart guy, shrewd businessperson, so it just doesn't make any sense to me, especially given the reasons I believe he has stated. If you think pressing is no big deal, but recognise that others do think it's a big deal, then when you press a book, aren't you eliminating them from the pool of potential buyers already? Not informing them - by virtue of "making them ask" is just a good way to ensure that all the people who don't like pressing are going to summarily eliminate him as a viable purchasing venue, even if he's got books for sale that aren't pressed. As he surely does. I've never understood why people choose to make such a big honking deal out of proactive disclosure of pressing. How hard is it to say "Pressed while in my possession or purchased knowing it has been pressed? Yes" or "Pressed while in my possession or purchased knowing it has been pressed? No" in a listing?

Nice book! Captain Comet kicks .

huh-huh-huh...that cover says "Master Bowman." huh-huh-huh-huh

Looks like you got them from the same auction I got mine. Nice books!

Sorry for the crappy scan, it's the one from the auction. Sorry also that I can't agree with the grade listed on the bag, but it's still a pretty copy of a somewhat tough book

It's great seeing some of these really old packs. So amazing that any comics have remained intact/unopened in their original packaging! Wow, 5 books in one pack - what other comics are hidden inside? I dunno, but the concept of buying five books like this to save one cent off of cover price seems a bit ridiculous to me

Cover looks like Giordano to me

Yeah, the Fantagraphics imprimatur definitely keeps it out of rare by definition. Besides, a lot of the Woodring stuff had Mark Martin stuff in them, which is the real reason I was buying them

How about stuff no one really cared about? I honestly have no clue if this is the sort of thing anyone bought, period. It wouldn't surprise me if the print run on this - or even Vol.1, for that matter - was 100, 1000, 10,000 or a million

the print run on that book was higher than 1? (thumbs u Presumably, as i have four copies of it

It would be awesome if you two could take this festival of rhymes-with-witching to PMs, otherwise some of us might think you're both doing it for attention. What kind of attention, I've no idea, but some kind or other, surely. 38 new posts on this thread and 36 of them are you two going at it like alleycats

Generally, they do this for reprint books. There's a reason for it, but it's beyond me. I think it has something to do with if the book doesn't say where the original story came from, they leave it off... I think this one might have been either a mistake or a change in policy for this particular book

...I think at this point, you had better be prepared to settle for Stephenie Meyer

Don't ask questions to which you won't want to know the answer. Don't tell me which questions I will want an answer to and which ones I won't. Why would you think that I won't want them, I haven't the faintest

The only problem with the suggestion is that it would require moderator intervention every time the threads needed to be updated. I though that it was dictated that the forum would be 100% community run? I'm sure they don't need yet another thing to keep up with. I would think that any talk of 'what we need to do' will have to rely on us as buyers and sellers and 0% work for the mods/admins. But that's just me speaking as a mod on a different high traffic website. We've got enough stuff to do, I can tell you that This is the crux, as explained to me by tPTB. I didn't see it as being something that would require much more moderator intervention than not doing it, seeing as the list is updated perhaps as often as twice a month. My issue with "...rely(ing) on us as buyers and sellers..." isn't so much that it's a bad idea to have that philosophy, but that it lacks a level of completeness. Hell, we have a hard enough time getting n00bs to follow the rules, and they're posted frickin' everywhere. Just thought it would help the Forums police themselves if that particular information were front and center in every sales subforum, rather than buried in a thread in the top level forum

How in the world is that post the one you chose to go with the offtopic graemlin? It's all just a bunch of random keystrokes to you, isn't it, counselor?

BS 5 is the Corben cover with all the nekkid ladies crawling over what looks like a cross between Jabba the Hut and a pinto bean, right?
