  1. It's just Peking Diplomas. (A subsidiary of Lancashire Kitchens)
  2. Like you, the market reports used to be one of my favorite things about the guide. Some of them are quite useless and not even because they are six months old. Lots of them are very brief and say very little. I also question the inclusion of some of the more recent advisor additions.
  3. I should start a sales thread that states "unusual rules apply" and then just make up a bunch of crazy crap. 1 - "Take it" must be followed by the words, "My Lord". Take it w/My Lord trumps all PM negotiations. Failure to post "My Lord" may not secure you the comic if another buyer posts "Take it" with "My Lord" before you do 2 - All payments must include two extra half pennies 3 - I reserve the right to call all buyers by random pet names 4 - Decision of the marmoset is final 5 - Every third buyer gets a random gift, which may include (but is not limited to) pocket lint, a cookie, unsolicited romantic advice, a 20 year old video arcade token, and pornographic images with all the good parts blacked out.
  4. I agree with namisgr but I also think a reason Daredevil 1 lags behind other # 1s due to the fact that DD was forgettable until Miller came along. Miller made DD interesting and relevant. Others after him have picked up the ball and run with it. However, before that, DD was just so much whatever and it seems clear that just because others came along and made the character more interesting, it didn't result in collectors flocking to DD 1. I'm not convinced that it's ever going to catch up to the other Marvel keys. It hasn't yet. People have been saying it's undervalued for YEARS and they are still saying it. At this point, what's going to change and send it to the stratosphere?
  5. You can follow a thread. Go to the top and click on the follow thingy and then another screen will pop up and you can choose your follow preferences. (see screenshots below)
  6. I tend to believe people who actually have experience in whatever subject they're talking about. That's one of the reasons I believe JJJ. He may not be able to prove any of this, but based on my experience, what he says has the ring of truth to it. How do you know they're being truthful about that experience from what is essentially a stranger on the internet? Do you know JJJ personally? How do I know that you (or anybody else) is truthful? I don't know you. I don't know JJJ. I don't know Lazyboy. Please keep in mind, I'm not accusing anyone of being a liar. I'm just fascinated by how easily people believe what they read on a message board because the writer appears to have some knowledge. Just because there is, as you said in an earlier post, a "ring of truth" doesn't mean that it's true. The best poker players will never let you know what they're holding, or what they're not holding
  7. I think the problem is it's not always clear who is correct and who isn't. The knowledge bandied about is anecdotal in many cases. I tend to give the person making the claim the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately there is no way to substantiate it. There have been a lot of people on this board over the years presenting stuff as fact with no ability to prove those facts. Neither you nor I can confirm or deny what James J Johnson is saying. In the absence of verifiable fact, there is only faith in the person making the claims.
  8. Can I ask how you know all this? I'm not in a position to contradict you (or confirm you) because I can't but I'd like to know the source of your knowledge.
  9. You’re on the map Actually, the freaky thing is that I was born in the same town as Jim and the town he died in, which is a different town, I lived in for 22 years.
  10. I was born in the same town as Jim Aparo. Does that count?
  11. Yeah, it was a fun comic but very uneven in content due to its nature as an anthology title.
  12. If it's a non color breaking crease then pressing can help. If the crease breaks color then pressing will not remove that defect
  13. I always loved this cover but then I'm a sucker for Kubert skull covers
