Now, @ExNihilo, I think that Captain Marvel only had "the jump" on Thanos because he had been battling the Big 3 for awhile, and then another MacGuffin byproduct in Scarlet Witch, etc. He was beaten down by Iron Man, Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, Infinity Stone Powers, etc. I do not think Captain Marvel can take on Thanos 1v1. She could only do it at the end of those battles because of being beaten up and losing endurance. Kinda how Thanos wiped the floor with Thor, despite Thor being a literal God, because Thor was drained after Ragnarok and did not have a magical weapon that helped him heal.

This is not true. Thanos did not use the Power Stone in his bout with the Hulk in Infinity War. I've seen the movie 90 times. I would know.

I think this looks really, really bad. I am ashamed it exists.

Listen. It's called supply and demand. If you don't have time, and you're going to be snarky, don't bother responding to my comments. Thanks. -

Speculation fails - what happens to those who... remain!
theCapraAegagrus replied to FineCollector's topic in Comics General
Manufactured rarity = "collecting" 100 issues waiting for the price to hike. Price hikes can be caused by such manufactured rarity by hoarders. I also implied literally no emotions in any of my posts. It doesn't make me "angry" that amateur hour exists in comic collecting. I simply no it's doing no one any favors. Life would be better off without 'em. I don't get angry at spiders, and I definitely dislike them, because they don't belong in my home. I thought we were agreeing to disagree, no? That hasn't changed on my end. Clearly you're inferring a lot of things that are simply not being intentionally communicated by me. It's not getting through and I thought we had already come to this conclusion. -
Gross.

Manufactured rarity is not a positive service to the hobby. So, yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree because "I" am the one ignoring something. Not sure where you're manufacturing this "anger" from. I don't have any emotional investment in this conversation. I simply know it's nothing good for anyone involved in the actual hobby of comic books. -
Issue #1000 has some real-life cowboys on front. Makes it look more like a magazine. Idk.

Tony Stark is Iron Man. We already have War Machine, Iron Spider, and Rescue. An empty "Iron Man" suit is not Iron Man.

Emily Blunt > Brie Larson in basically every way possible. Including rear-end.

I don't consider 'spec flipping' to be collecting. That's trading. I consider hobby collectors to be people who have an interest in the medium being fetched after. I think most people would agree. "Flippers" don't really positively contribute to the actual hobby of collecting. They just inflate prices which, consequently, will deflate enthusiasm by out-pricing people with lesser budgets. -
Wtf is Four Color? It doesn't look like a true comic book...

Holy Moses.

Well, let's see, we're expecting both an Eternals movie and a Captain Marvel film in Phase 4. There are plenty of people who want to read source material before a movie based on said source material is released. See: All 6 of Marvel's Slipcase sets released since 2014. -
You didn't buy tickets for all 3 days when they first went on sale, duh!
-
Do they have an Issue #1000, though?

You may be misunderstanding what I'm trying to convey. IMO there's nothing wrong with being a "condition snob". I don't see the point in buying a comic for "investment" purposes, though, unless it's your job. There are too many people that wanna spend their $150 allowance on the "next spec book". If you're not reading comic, and it's not your job to flip 'em, then what are you doing..? I collect graded comics, raw single issues, tons of hardcovers and TPBs and slipcase sets, etc because I love comics. Ever since I've been here I have definitely subscribed to "buy the book, not the label". I don't see the point in owning ASM 129 if you don't care about the cover or the story. You might make $50 in a year? The Endgame should be more pure than that. -
CGC needs to modify its stance on Color Touch
theCapraAegagrus replied to Black_Adam's topic in Comics General
Should've made a poll. Would be interested in the tally of people for-against such a change. -
Literally one-of-a-kind. The only Twisted Metal comic book on CGC's Census. Nice.

Is quality really better than quantity? For people like us?

I am asking specifically for "alternate art" variants. Thanks for the link! -

I don't want to discourage anyone from entering the hobby, but... When n00bs come around asking, "should I buy this, should I buy that", and are "hesitant to open and read comics", then what are they actually doing? They're not, IMO, positively contributing to the actual hobby. I am 100% open to any person who collects comic books because they enjoy/love comic books. I am 100% open to people using the medium of comic books to make a living if they're respectable and good at it. I am not okay with people who have no idea what they're doing, trying to flip books on other people's info, and just decaying the hobby as a whole. Not every person appearing to enter the "hobby" is honest or even truly interested. It's a shame. Luckily, most people are, though. -

Also, grading is subjective. In case you have not noticed, CGC is not the only game in town, and their opinion of a comic's condition is not the be-all end-all to a comic's value. Encapsulated comics are not the only things being collected.
