    The thread at this point needs a full on smiley invasion. DgMSEA4.gif

    :highfive:

    C'mon everybody, let's have an old school smiley threadbombing, just like in the old days (you know, the days on this board that were about 1,000,000 times superior to the sanitized BS this place has become)

    Request To Remove Chip Cataldo From The HOS

    in Marketplace Probations

    Posted

    There's nothing better than a good redemption story but it's going to take a lot more than this before we should ever think about removing Chip from the HOS list. His transgressions were not a one and/or two time thing. There is a pattern of behavior here that goes back decades. If he has truly changed, I applaud that but it doesn't erase his past.

    Hello everyone!  I am not having the best of luck on the CGC forums selling my comics and will be ending this listing Sunday (10/8) night.  This is a great deal for this set and not sure why it's not even getting any responses or inquiries, though I want to sell it to make room for other collectibles.  I read it, I enjoyed it and now I want you to do the same.  That said I am dropping the price on every slab to $5 OFF the listed price showing now (with shipping included) until Sunday night in hopes that someone finds that price for this run more appealing.  Thank you everyone for looking.

    As someone who has been here a very long time and has seen many sales threads, one reason why no interest is shown when a seller puts books up is because they have them priced too high. I don't know if that's the case here as I don't have GPA access but might be something to look into.

    When You Unexpectedly Find a Grail or Other Book You've Always Wanted in a Shop

    in Comics General

    Posted · Edited by Jeffro.

    Not a shop but there's a local semi-monthly show close to me that I go to frequently. Back around 2013/14 I was doing some box diving (get your mind out of the gutter pervert (tsk) ) and I unexpectedly came across one copy of the book shown below. A few months later, at the same show, I found another copy. I figure that used up my comic luck for the rest of my life. Given how much this book goes for and the fact that it doesn't show up too often I never expected to be able to buy even one copy at an affordable price, never mind two

    Yes ExNihilo.  I posted this same book on eBay for $200.  I had no idea what I was holding or what it was worth.  I listed at a price I thought no sane person would hit.  I was shocked when it sold so fast and cancelled the order then began researching to find out why.  That's how I wound up here.  I'm very sorry, and I know you must be disappointed.   To think you're getting something at an unbelievable steal and it doesn't work out.  I'm really sorry, bro.  But I'm not doing what you want me to do, which is sell it to you for $200.

    Oh wow. You will play well here. Hold on, let me get my popcorn and a drink.

    They encapsulated an upturned corner that large and let it go? Unbelievable. I'd be freaking.

    I'm more freaking out that the customer service rep told me via email they couldn't do anything and it happened during shipping to them :jawdrop:

    I had no idea that CGC was hiring clairvoyants to handle customer service.

    UPDATE: Desert Wind / Celestial Comics damaging and losing/stealing books

    CGC needs to take action against Celestial/Desert Wind in the same way they did with HotShotComics.

    In all honesty, even though they’re a bit sloppy at what they do, they still get the job done.

    We should be holding these companies accountable to a higher standard instead of accepting an okay job and continuing to enable and rationalize sloppy work.

    "Deaths" should stop being considered a key issue...

    in Comics General

    How about "first death?" Would that constitute anything?

    Why stop there? Let's have "Cameo or Brief First Death " and then "Full Appearance First Death" because [sarcasm] that approach sure hasn't led to controversy amongst collectors when it comes to character first appearances. [/sarcasm]

    Then we have First Resurrection (brief/cameo, full)

    Then Second Death (brief/cameo, full)

    I think I'm on to something here. Either that or I'm having an aneurysm.
