The card chat forum will remain here. If a whole new card board is being created, leaving the card chat here doesn't make any sense.

Mike, will the card forums over on the comic board be shut down since all traffic should be moved here? Please say yes.

I bought many Image books during that time period. I don't recall this book getting "hot" until Platt (issue 4 variant). But I could just be mis-remembering. Patrick I bought a bunch of them as well. I look back on them now and ask myself, what was I thinking?

I'll return someday if sanity returns to the WC Okay, I'm not sure there was ever sanity in the WC but I think you get my drift

Hard to believe this crappy garbage was popular and in demand at one time.

Any non-superhero books, Tup?

Please, tell us more and welcome to the boards I changed my mind. Go *spoon* yourself. Nobody cares about your poorly drawn garbage.

You might find this hard to believe but there was a time when people collected comics (gasp!) before CGC existed. I know, I know, crazy talk right but it actually happened. There are even collectors now who choose (double gasp!!) not to get their comics entombed and actually enjoy them in their natural state.

I think I will read X-Men 1-93 and 144-whatever issue is current and I won't tell anyone what I think.

Now 'ats a bit a trim, 'at is!

I dunno. Looks trimmed because you can always tell a trimmed book from a scan

You were saying?

That looks very much like what the site below refers to as a hickey. https://offsetprintingtechnology.com/sub-categories/on-press-troubleshooting/

Frickin' Charlton and their low production standards.

They jumped that shark long before this.

Correcting misinformation isn't an overreaction. Perhaps, but there are less jerkish ways of doing it.

No, time will not tell. A pump and dump is a deliberate attempt to profit off of something after inflating the value by increasing demand through hype and nonsense. A Youtube video talking about the creative merits of a book is not that, the book's value isn't even discussed there. To say that prices will likely decrease in the future because the current spike in demand is temporary is fine, but to label this a pump and dump is inaccurate and pathetic. Overreact much? Lighten up Frances. Seriously, how do people get so worked up about this stuff?

ZOMG!!!!!!! TELL FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TELL TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I could get that, I'd be pimping my man thing around to any and all takers

I agree with you on the UK link and I also agree that we'll probably never know the reason why these exist. I think it's pretty safe to say that these were not price test market copies like the 30 and 35 cent Marvels.

I wish we knew the back story of why these 15 versions exist. Speculation is fun but having something from the horses mouth would be great. Speculation and educated guesses are probably what we will have to fall back on. You'd think Harvey kept records but even if they did, do they still exist?

Someone is going to be unhappy when they realize this is not Super Mario 1 Special Edition https://www.ebay.com/itm/384734779617?hash=item5993fad8e1%3Ag%3AcKsAAOSwjt1iCoHv&nma=true&si=QcNEBEpTTjSNV5jdm3tNtsil2pg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
