It's printed, is it not? And if I called it the "first appearance of Walking Dead!" I would be a liar and a hack.

Then my collection of Previews is priceless, and I now want $20,000 for my Walking Dead #1 issue of Previews, which predated WD #1 by 2 months. First time characters are seen in print, right...? Context. There are no, with some exceptions, "first published appearances" or "introductions" in the series at all. It is PROMOTIONAL material. "First time appearing in a printed medium" does not therefore mean a "first appearance" as that is defined by the hobby.

I'm afraid Park is toast. Did you see Surprise? 1350 degrees. Well, that sucks. PARK! YOU MADE IT! I thought that was just a typical day in AZ At least it's a dry heat The funniest part was the normal temps right next to thousands of degrees. Must have been laser beams.

Marvel Age is a preview book. Let me say that again: Marvel Age is a preview book. It is not a traditional comic book (with exceptions) that tells a story in words and pictures. It is a preview book. It was designed to showcase upcoming Marvel publications, so that people would be interested in them and buy them. Therefore, unless it contains original material that is not reprinted elsewhere (and covers don't count), it does not contain any "first appearances" or "cameo appearances" or anything of that sort, and shouldn't be marketed as if it does. That doesn't mean it's not collectable...sure it is...but there are no "this is really the first appearance of Character X!" Context is all-important.

Night Force is the most uncollectable comic ever. That, and Team America.

Having lived in the Hellhole that is known as the Valley of the Sun, this made me cry with laughter.

Still pretty exciting.

True, I know my eyes almost died reading it

That McFarlane Hulk run is to die for.

10.2.

That's your number, not mine, and it's hardly a record. Are you familiar with how eBay worked in the late 20th/early 21st century...?

House of M! WOOHOO!!!!!

Do I sound serious?

Think of it more as outlining the guy's business practice for future buyers. That is the purpose of feedback. I'd hate to be the buyer of the next hot item, have the guy pull the same trick, and then find out that he'd done it before but no one had spoken up about it. Again, comic book dealers do it all the time, its common practice to them, no way of changing that, no matter how many bad feedbacks you leave. They get HUNDREDS of negative feedbacks and most for that reason alone.. Im not taking sides here, but unfortunately, thats just how it is Do you leave positive feedback? If so, why? Are you insinuating that leaving a positive feedback has the same weigh as leaving a negative? How many negatives have YOU left? I've left hundreds, if not thousands, of negative feedbacks. And, in each and every case, going back 17 years, I have given every single seller the chance to make it right beforehand. Not one of them can rightfully say "you never gave me the chance to make it right!" And, because I leave negatives for sellers who think it's ok to call a book "MINT!" when it has 47 thumb dents and spine tics, or that it's ok to ship what was a 9.8 book in a bubble envelope and no cardboard, or that it's ok to sell a book that has had the entire front cover professionally repainted, and call it "slight color color" (Harry Thomas, best friend of Bob Overstreet), or covers that are completely detached, torn in half, then both pieces taped back together and back to the book, and called "still attached at staples" (a Richie Muchin venture), or sending out heavy loads in flimsy, used boxes that then break open and spill out the contents all over the place, or any of the myriad problems that come up because of sellers who don't care, with client bases that act like crack addicts, *I* end up looking like the bad guy who is clearly a "problem buyer", and am even blocked by sellers on this very board. And, of course, those same sellers complain when someone with "perfect feedback" takes them for the inevitable ride, and no one before them bothered to leave appropriate feedback. This situation is exactly what negative feedback is for: this guy compromised his integrity for more money. Is it a terrible crime? No. But negative feedback isn't the end of the world, either, and it is exactly designed for this situation.

Who are "The Contrarians Three"? Sounds like a new spy thriller...

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Hi Ditch! I'm up...squashing comics. Actually, I'm done for the night. I have to say..."Enormous" is an absolute person_without_enough_empathy to press.

Not everything can be a euphemism.

I JUST passed up a copy of this for $1.

What do you think happened to the books they had as kids? They probably still have them. Most of the people who don't still have the comics they had as kids in the 80s and 90s probably no longer care about comics. That's a broad and generalized statement and therefor incorrect. People move, go to college, etc...if they can't store them at their parents place they probably sold them online or at a garage sale. Now they want some of them back. I have all my comics from when I was a kid. The problem is, they look like they were owned by a kid. Damn kids.

See what can happen when you wake up before Noon? You're more than welcome to come over at 2 AM and squash books with me.

Yes, limited to 50. Can't be slabbed. Do you have one?

Not that I'm, ya know, competitive or anything...
