    So close…

      Reveal hidden contents

    This has been at CGC since June.  I was told it was not signed in July during the signing but was sent to Dan later with others to be signed (Oct/Nov timeframe).  It was finally graded 8 Jan and says signed and sketch on 29 July 23, which must be incorrect, otherwise where has this book been this entire time?  I did not have 9.8 aspirations with this book so am happy with the grade.  Kinda wish the Doomsday sketch was clearer but this had to be a tough cover to sketch on!  I love the yellow sig!

    Oh man, that’s too bad… Almost! Uggghhhhh…..!

    Nice book, nonetheless… 

    I have 2 copies to send, but too nervous, ha!

    Hello!

     

    Welcome to the "Comics Market - Forum Only Selling" board!

     

    The moderators have asked everyone around here to help educate new comers about the posting rules for this forum so that we can keep things running smoothly. So whenever we see a new thread go up that's missing some of the information required by the rules, someone will generally happen along and post this reminder (by moderator request).

     

    You can find the posting guidelines here:

    Specifically, you should check out #s (Rule #8 my friend.)

     

    They are well worth reading, because your posts can be removed from the boards if they don't conform to the guidelines. This will help you to attract more buyers as well, since this is how people expect to have books offered around here.

     

    Thanks, and glad to have you here!

    How about letting things play out before bagging on the whole effort?  

    Well that’s an awfully strong statement.

    You always go around trying to start stuff with people?

    Most of these were quotes from other people. Have you read any of the replies from this guy? He’s not normal! All we are saying is to think about it before approaching this guy in person!

    Your “play out” has been played out in different arenas in the past and the result was disastrous. Read about the Chicken Man in Roswell, GA friend!

    Good grief, can’t even comment without someone trying to start an argument. I have no interest in fighting with you dude.

    I don't think Matt going to his house is the right thing, either. 

    I agree, I think it’s a horrible idea.

    I don't know what Hero wants.  I am hoping for his cooperation to resolve the situation.

    Matt, I think it’s great you want to help buddy and you’re willing to but I think we all know what HR wants, he’s said it plenty of times! Hoping for his cooperation is very naive.

     

    At the very least and best we could hope for in that situation:

    Based solely on what I have read on these boards, I believe Hero still imagines - rightly or wrongly - that he will at some point be able to finish all of the promised work and salvage his reputation (and not have to repay any of his customers). I think if he wanted to return the comics to his customers, as repeatedly requested, he would have already done so. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I think on the off chance you are able to establish contact with him he is going to tell you to go :censored: yourself.

     I love the fact that so many people are willing/want to do something for the victims of HR, but if you think for one moment this guy is gonna release any or all of these high dollar books he has held hostage for years to a complete stranger merely because he asks nicely, you are are gonna be seriously disappointed. This wouldn’t even make good business sense for him and opens him up to even more liability. Why would he just automatically start trusting anyone?

     The reason these people have not gotten these books back is NOT because “HR is incapable of sending said books back”! They have not gotten their books because he doesn’t care and doesn’t want to send them back! If he needed and wanted help, he would have just asked. He’s not that type of person.

     Anyone planning on communicating with him in person needs to be very, very careful based on what he has said and how he has said it. Especially if what he has said is true! He may be in a very desperate state!

     The only way this should be moved forward is with legal, law enforcement avenues in my humble opinion.

    My 2 cents…
