joe_collector is always the victim, Doc. thought you knew that already.

firstly, Mark's thread title is a bit melodramatic, and isn't really germane to the immediate issue. which is, of course, helping Jan get an increase in her child support. in order to do so, it must be shown that he is making a lot more money than he is claiming. the 'put him out of business' thing comes later. at least that's how i read it

Actually, we're building a database for this right now. We've cobbled together several thousand scans of pedigree books from various sources, and once the book is finished, go live with the archive on comicpedigrees.com. From that point, users will be able to sign in and upload any scans of pedigrees to the database. There are many, many little details to be ironed out, but that is the jist of it. Eventually the original lists may be up there to serve as a checklist, so there is a goal to shoot for. In essence we'll be re-assembling each collection! And this is just a part of the plans we have for the website in the future. Once the book is out, the website will pick up from there and move forward with live data for the pedigree collections. now this reads like an excellent idea. tell you what, just drop the book altogether and make the site pay-only. like $10 a year or something. i would sign up tomorrow

how're the doggies?

I agree with you in principle, but have to say that the likelihood of this happening should probably be zero. Asking moderators or the community at large to make sure a book is being offered at discount from elsewhere is adding a layer of complexity that I believe Arch has said in the past he didn't want to get into doing. Better to just do what you did, and eliminate the books from being able to be bought on one's site if one is listing them here, I think

holy mess

wouldn't the potential ethical dilemma be moot if DD wasn't reporting his comic book sales as his primary source of income? i honestly have no idea, but i do know a number of high-volume folks who use their comic book sales to supplement their other, "real world" incomes, and as such, putting DD out of business - so to speak - in the comic community might not even be the primary focus? eh, who knows. good luck, Mark

you know, FK, there's an "announcement" thread for this sort of thing.

My elitism may be showing, but no way I'm shelling out over 5 Bills for a post-1970 post-#100 book with a cut off DC logo & right edge thumb mark. Congrats to the winner; I'll use my $500 elsewhere. Rick There is yet another 9.8 JLA 101 in the Heritage weekly auction, and the Census now shows 6 9.8 copies (with undoubtedly more to come). I feel sorry for the bidders who paid $507.88 for the copies that sold in Jan and Feb of this year. Well, actually, I don't, because that was a really dumb price to pay. i agree, mostly because i'm quite happy with my 9.6 copy

look, anyone who has read any post made by BucOneIQPoint knows he's the Forum version of the part of the body where hemorrhoids are found. he's not very bright, has a belligerent, sociopathic streak wide enough to drive an RMA post through and seems to be in love with Filter to the point of exhibiting passive-aggressive stalking behaviour. Filter, if you leave the boards because of this tool, then he's won. And I don't think anyone wants that to happen. I know I sure don't. Because on your worst day, you bring more to these boards than a boxcar full of BucOnes

wow! great books, Rick! colours are really nice on all of them, but i like this one the most

didn't know Ploog was doing re-creations.

if all it took to have a good movie was the casting of one likeable actor, then there would be a lot fewer bargain dvd bins across the land

i'm kind of confused about the concept of Deadpool being a "major" character. popular, sure, but the character by itself can't even support his own book. you get 50 issue of Cable & Deadpool, 70 issues of his own book, and 60 issues of Wolverine & Deadpool. oh, and a bunch of one-shots. he's a modern-day Moon Knight. or Ghost Rider. if this keeps up, i see his first appearance going down in value relative to the market, not up. but that's a supposition and just my .02

What, just on the rant? 2500 posts is way low. i see what you did there.

i'm thinking fifty pages for this one. of course, that's with my settings, which are 50 posts per page

seriously. i mean, Rammstein? at least it's not Gabber

looks to me like it was lunch for 4. not sure how you got "huge amount of people," but maybe you know more about the backstory than what's evident in the check

minor edit for truth (thumbs u

got-dang!

appreciate you looking! (thumbs u

you have to laugh. i just zipped thru my 2009 clink auction results and there isn't one Doom Patrol sale. zippo, zilch, nada. scarce and in low demand. it's a double whammy for poor blokes like me. an 8.5 copy of 99 went out the door in late October. i didn't go after it very hard. but that's the only one that even sniffs "of note." there was a restored 7.0 copy of 104 that sold and a BA reprint, but i think the final DP tally for 09 on CL might be four books, as there may be one i've missed

pm me all the Doom Patrols, please. oh wait, you said "notable." er whatever fits the bill would be awesome. thx in advance

i swear to g-d, why anyone would purposefully overgrade a book just boggles my mind. even if you get ten suckers to buy in without complaint, the amount of headaches you have to deal with of your own creation with the one guy who does complain would render all that moot. plus, you just lost a buyer permanently. if you can't grade, don't sell books. period. if you can and overgrade on purpose, you're worse than any press-and-flipper that's ever lived by a couple dozen orders of magnitude

i dunno the answer either, but it seems like a HG copy of 18 is in every major auction. it seems to highlight the inherent deficiency in GPA, which is no fault of George's but rather the lack of voluntary / paid data submission by certain sellers / sites
