  1. I'd buy them in a heartbeat, if the price was right and the conditions right.
  2. I do the same. What's your method for reusing them? Do you put a book in with a bag and board or do you some something more fancy? Bag with a mylite or mylar. Nothing fancy.
  3. I'll buy some slabbed books if they are really cheap and crack them open just to reuse the shells.
  4. Mycomicshop allows people who consign to set their own prices. Many set crazy prices for whatever reason. When speaking about MCS's prices, you have to distinguish between the prices they put on books and what a consigner does.
  5. Why are you guys bothering? You don't really think he is going to see the light, do you?
  6. If Tec 27 is a swipe, what does that make Kirbys AF 15 cover?
  7. Do artists need permission to draw a companies characters?
  8. Like I said, take it on down to the Copper Age forum and say the same to everyone with a fake Cerebus. Anybody in the CA bragging about selling thousands of fake comics? On the one hand you are claiming to be a small time hustler, but then you say if I see anyone wearing a fake Submariner, chances are you sold it. At least you aren't selling crack, right? You say alibaba has to stop selling this sort of stuff if it ever wants to go legit, but seem to think its okay for you to sell them. Its a victimless crime. Right? Somebody would sell them anyway so why not you. Its a dumb law anyway.
  9. A Rolex or any other similar watch is a status symbol. Why anyone would want a fake status symbol is beyond me. It would be kool to have ten grand to blow on a watch, but I think its stupid to try and pass off a fake as anything but a fake.. Anyone who knows anything about Rolexes and their movements will spot a fake in a heartbeat. I recently saw a house where the owner put up a fake brickfront ten feet on either side of the front, so as you drive down the road, the house appears to be twenty feet wider than it really is. I imagine that for the same money, he could have added a real room to the house. How insecure can you get. Each and every day, I appreciate the time my parents took to instill in me the ability to recognize right from wrong and to do the right thing. I can only hope my kids learned their lessons too.
  10. Seeing how I took a major auction house to task for even accepting one on consignment in a recent thread, I'd think the answer should be obvious. Selling counterfeit anything is theft.
  11. To sell them My bad. I thought you had scruples.
  12. Why would you buy thousands of bootleg watches from them?
  13. I sold my last case a few years ago. Haven't looked back.
  14. alibaba looked interesting around $35 a share. At $90, I'd rather buy Youngbloods.
  15. I'm looking at this on my phone, but is it possible the writing was already on the cover before he got the signatures? That some kid scribbled it and the signatures came later? It is an ugly book.
  16. Khund invasion, with an unresolved Time Trapper plot. Superboy and Mon-El have to be in it.
  17. I think the Legion really lost their way in the post-Crisis/post-Byrne Superman reboot era. They were no longer as relevant to the DC Universe, as suddenly we had to start explaining who that Superboy was and what was he doing in the future (if there never was a Superboy to begin with). I've picked it up over the years -- the Great Darkness Saga, the baxter reboot, the Legionnaires (because I love Chris Sprouse's art), but it was just so overly convoluted. The series leading up to the Baxter series was great. The first few issues of that series were fantastic. Karate Kids death, Projecta beating the guy that even Superboy couldn't take one on one, the mystery behind Sensor Girl, and even the Death of Superboy, but then the endless rebooting and destruction of earth(s) took its toll on me. The Legion of three worlds was good, but the followup wasn't.
  18. At the time, the Legion was the second most popular book DC had. It was one of the first, if not the first, regular series to get the Deluxe format,and it was one of only two DC books that was published twice a month. Not really sure where it all went wrong, but the last dozen reboots have been sad.
  19. Which story arcs would make a good movie? The Death of Superboy would, but I cant see them leading with that. Shooters first arc, with the Kund invasion perhaps? Who would make good villains for the piece? Fighting the Legion of Super-Villains would be too confusing. For a group that was great for fifty years, they don't really have all that many great story lines
  20. Somewhere, I have the Dredd badge that came with an issue of 2000AD. For some reason, I think it might have been issue 300.
  21. Warrior had a button of the iconic Watchmen Happy Face in 1982?
  22. I still don't see why we all aren't entitled to our own set of facts. That would certainly end these fifty page debates.
  23. It doesn't appear, it simply is. So you say. Am I not entitled to my own facts?
  24. Bruce Lee died from being shot with a blank? Or are you talking about another Bruce?
  25. Someone needs to take an axe to the particular tree.
