  1. Plenty of places, but they need to be shipped to an FFL, where you'll have to pass a background check, and receive required registration papers, etc etc etc... People, seemingly all of a sudden, are confused by the fact that they can't have guns shipped to their front door.
  2. The "best defenseman in the NHL" is all about how you weigh what. Orr could take offensive chances because of his speed in that era. He could typically get back to cover his assignment. What's "better", though? Someone who has the skill to get back, but has to risk-assess, and may not assess correctly or... The guy who's always in position, always playing defense-first, yet still among the highest-scoring defensemen of all-time? I personally prefer the latter. Lidstrom, individually, also never got angry or flustered. He had ice in his veins. Possibly the most well-respected defenseman among his peers and officials. In the 3 eras of the NHL he played in - that was simply crazy to me. Even guys like Pavel Datsyuk got emotional, in fights, and made questionable hits.
  3. Not really. As mentioned - longevity matters. If anyone thinks he's not Top-5, then I would agree that they have no clue what they're talking about. But make no mistake, Orr played in a simpler era and was an offense-first "defenseman". Nick Lidstrom is actually the one who revolutionized the position and influences how defensemen play the game now. Less physicality, more attention to being in-position, and using sticks instead of bodies to deter scoring chances.
  4. Longevity matters. Lidstrom and Bourque were both better than Orr.
  5. Why do you think Orr played better offense than defense?
  6. Bobby Orr is one of the 4 best defensemen in NHL history, and he only played for 10 years. Take from that what you will.
  7. Are you talking about Gordie Howe, or...?
  8. Right now, both DC and Marvel lack great quality in both artwork and writing on the same titles. They're spreading it too thin.
  9. Quality > quantity. If the quality of your work drives sales (for old customers and new), then you will increase demand and hopefully be able to supply more quantity of quality titles.
  10. You're posting raws, though. CGC'd HG AC1 reprints aren't cheap.
  11. It ain't easy getting HG copies of AC1 reprints. I've done my research on this particular comic.
