I may not agree with what you say...but I support your privilege (on this board) to say it.

Don't you love when people make a scene and complain about what other people choose to talk about...? It's like they think they own the place, and can dictate, through peer pressure, what is, and is not, acceptable posting. So people like to "frame every discussion as a debate", as some might claim. And...? So...? If you don't like the way someone posts, ignore them. No one is forced to read anything anyone else writes. And people call ME condescending...

That would be some kind of shady if they weren't....

Bookmarked for 2025.

I agree. 5,000,000 is rather much to budget for parking when considering the cost the new strip mall development will be to the owners and the size of the existing location.

Nice! Todd's getting old.

Yes. At least, that's typical. There's no telling if a different month might have slipped in of an issue or two, but generally, they're all the same month.

I simply meant that CGC would get complaints because people who did take the competitive nature of the registry (too) seriously would now need to concern themselves with the newly listed variants. I’d prefer to see them added someplace for the information. If they’re going to do a registry, it ought to serve as a store of information as much as possible. I understand and still agree. I'm not sure if anyone has considered this, but there need not be additions to the "regular set", if it's going to upset the "What?? Now I have to get that, TOO??" crowd.

....where's "Stu" when you need him? My understanding is that quoting from Wikipedia is verboten this week. In this case, however, you're barking up the wrong tree. The colloquial use of the word "classic" is not the same as the official "Classic cover" designation, used by OPG (see: Shock Suspenstories #6, for example) and CGC (see: Captain America #113.) In other words....a distinction with a difference.

Spoilered, so no one has to read if they don't wish to. Unspoil of your own free will.

If you're interested in having a discussion, let's have a discussion. If you're just going to join the ranks of the eternally offended, making snide, snarky comments because you're offended at something someone on the internet said with which you disagree, which wasn't directed at you personally, then there's no point. As far as "jaydogrules"'s contention goes, the only reason people call ASM #300 a "classic" cover is because the book contains the first full appearance of arguably the greatest comic book villain created in the last 30 years, and they've stared at it longingly on store and convention dealer walls for decades. No first appearance by Venom = no "classic cover." And "jaydogrules" fails to make the very important distinction between colloquially referring to something as "classic", or "a classic", and the "official, according to Overstreet and/or CGC designation" of "Classic cover." All of those links are the former, naturally, because distinctions...we don't need no stinkin' distinctions! I strongly suspect that "jaydogrules" doesn't actually understand the designation and its use in the comics collecting hobby. I don't think ANYBODY disagrees that ASM #300 is "A" classic...just like ASM #298, #306, #312, #316, #325, #328...but it's not a "classic cover" the way the OPG and/or CGC refer to it. I don't doubt that New Mutants #98 will...if it hasn't already...be called a "Classic Cover" soon enough.

I completely understand and agree with this observation, and think it's a damn shame that such feelings would even be considered by anyone. No one is compelled, by force, to collect anything. That we should sacrifice scholarship and completeness because some people don't want to be bothered with it is totally backwards. And to your point about the board overhaul...they did it twice. The 2007 overhaul was also done to howling protests. One more observation: I have absolutely no idea how their system works, but...they add new books...by the hundreds, if not thousands...every year. They also add different versions of existing books, as well (just examples that no one had submitted yet. I've done several myself, like obscure Image variants of the 90s. Again, I have absolutely no idea how their system works, but...if it's possible to add new books, a old books that haven't been added yet...what's the real reason for the pushback?

The sting of price fades. The agony of frustration never does.

Even better. You can use the 1092 boxes, too. But the 1095 boxes work. It only gets more expensive than the flat rate at 3 lbs and up for Zone 8 (and varies all the way down to Zone 1, which is essentially cross town.)

Deleted scene...

Thought this was appropriate here:

Or the first bastion of the annoyer of those who take themselves way too seriously...

psych!

Wow. That really happened.

If your package is going to Zone 4 or closer, the 1095 boxes are cheaper for 2 lbs (1 slab.)

No.

I used to be an OK guy.

$544M. That's just insane. For a sequel. Just insane. Kudos, Disney!

...what?
