  1. It's free stuff. How can someone fudge up a thread about free stuff. We get it. Someone thinks that one should donate other stuff to accept the free stuff. Which suddenly isn't free. How about if I offer free stuff but want something in return? Is it free anymore? Just let the OP offer his stuff his way and anyone who wants to offer stuff in return for free stuff can go play in their own thread. Very nice gesture by the OP.
  2. Perhaps its better to look at a sellers feedback before you purchase, not after he ships. Just saying.
  3. FF 12, and Cap #1. I had lent money to a forumite who gave me his FF 12 for collateral and just this once I hoped they wouldn't pay me back. Pretty sure the Cap 1 ship done sailed.
  4. If the book isn't worthy of a Mylar, it gets a halfback. Mylar gets full backs, mylites get half backs.
  5. One of the guys I've become friendly with in the estate sale circuit buys units regularly. He pays low and ends up donating 90% of the stuff to different charities. I don't see it as a successful business model but it apparently works for him. In Vegas, almost all of these are done on the internet, not live.
  6. I use five shelf lateral files. They hold four short comic boxes per shelf. Twenty boxes per unit. They run $1,000 a pop new, but used ones run $50-100 each. Also use collector drawer boxes.
  7. SA DCs often had coupons for Palisades Park Amusement Park. The coupons are often missing in books from NY/ NJ. Not so much the rest of the country.
  8. Looks like an insect or rodent chewed on it. 8.0 tops.
  9. From Wiki Omega the Unknown is a humanoid being of superhuman power bio-engineered by an extraterrestrial mechanoid race named the Protar, from the planet Protaris in the Regreb System in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Protar, foreseeing its own extinction, decided to create an ideal race of true humanoids as their legacy to the cosmos. Their penultimate model, later called Omega, was placed on the planet Srenesk (an anagram of series co-writer [Mary] "Skrenes") to learn. He commandeered a Protar starship and fled to Earth after inadvertently destroying the world on which he was placed. The Earth was the home of the final "model" in his series, the artificially created boy James-Michael Starling, whom Omega sought to protect from the Protar.[11] While on Earth, Omega was employed for odd jobs by a New York City pawn-broker, and had a number of battles with local beings. He battled the Hulk,[10]Electro,[12]Blockbuster,[13] and Nitro.[14] While later embroiled in a rematch with Blockbuster, the second Foolkiller saved Omega's life by murdering Blockbuster.[15] Omega was finally shot dead in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Police while battling Ruby Thursday; the police thought Omega was assaulting Ruby.[16] James-Michael Starling, who had inherited Omega's power, learned the true origin of himself and Omega but refused to accept the truth. He threatened to use the power of Earth's biosphere against the Defenders. Seeing the error of his decision, he ended his own life when he turned the power inward and self-destructed.[5] In 2010, Comics Bulletin ranked Gerber and Mooney's run on Omega the Unknown tenth on its list of the "Top 10 1970s Marvels".[17] Comic Book Resources placed Omega the Unknown as one of "15 Superheroes Marvel Wants You To Forget", stating "his complicated history makes it exceedingly unlikely that he'll return to the Marvel universe."[18]

    To keep you folks from jumping off the cliff, please be assured I will buy almost any SA Marvel or DC in a Voldy slab and give you thirty percent of GPA. The line forms to the right.
  11. Arguing with a stone wall does nothing but make you appear as dense as the wall. There is a reason why RMA is the active leader in strikes and suspensions. It's not because the Mods abuse him. There are far worse things in life than being insulted by anonymous people. Wear his insults as a badge of honor and go out and take your dog for a walk.
  12. It is hard to remember, but this was actually a nice fun thread for awhile.
  13. If I had a million to invest, I'd spend $750,000 on every copy of Omega the Unknown and $250,000 bribing the writers of the next Guardians movie to feature him.

    Same reason people say your post are stupid instead of what they'd like to say.

    Lost in all of this is the fact that we now know who owns one of the two Comic Grading Companies. Do you think we'll ever find out just who owns the other one?
  16. If it's a well known file copy with identifying stamps, perhaps. If it's simply PGXs opinion, I'd doubt it.
  17. They are controlled when open to the public, but try it at 5pm on a three day weekend.

    Sure he did. He's happy waiting six months for his books and money is no object to him.
  19. Finding climate controlled bank vaults ain't easy. Few keep the temp. the same 24-7.
