  1. Thanks to Jeranimal for the best looking 8.0 in the universe...

     

    Great wrap, stunning colors and no pecker tracks. cloud9.gif

    That is an incredible 8.0! I can't really see anything holding it down to that grade?? In any event, it's a beautiful copy and I love that it doesn't have that all too common white miswrap along the spine.

  2. Happy again!

     

    Thanks joeypost for the great Conan + freebies \o/

    Thanks to ArArch for the books I was looking for and super fast shipping laugh.gif

    And a thank you to scheradon for the 9.8s

     

    Super fast shipping and great books. Cheers to you all!

     

    Kudos to Sid for a super quick payment and flawless transaction!! Hope you enjoy the books!

  3. Bindery tears are my pet peeve! CGC is way too lenient with bindery tears. (Especially for Golden Age!) I have seen huge tears at the corners of GA books that still got 9.4s CGC's explanation, "bindery tears"...? How do they know a reader didn't cause this tear 50 years ago? I think bindery tears on GA books are part of the aging process, and they should be graded accordingly.

     

    agreed

     

    I agree as well.

  4. A couple of long overdue Kudos for:

     

    Greggy...for a lot of 64 incredible DC horror books! Spot on grading (his 7.5s = ebay seller's 9.0s). I can't say enough good things here! My only regret is that I didn't buy more. Thanks again Greg!

     

    Arex Crooke...for a sweet Detective Comics #434. Spot on grading and a super nice book! Thanks again for a quick and easy transaction!

     

    BassGMan...for a great eBay transaction on a couple of HOM books. Spot on grading and threw in free shipping! Thanks again for a super transaction!

     

    Thanks again guys!

  5. I think there's absolutely no question that collectors would be falling over each other to grab key GA and SA books - that were selling at restored prices if they were only pressed - and it's due to the fact that the vast majority of collectors don't consider pressing restoration.

     

    If the demand is what you say it would be, then collectors wouldn't be getting them all that cheap would they? I mean, the buyers set the prices here and can dictate how high an auction or price reaches. If they are falling all over each other to grab these, then how do you think they can go so cheap?

     

    I would disagree with your statement that the "vast majority of collectors don't consider pressing restoration". I'm not sure where you came up with that assumption.

  6. It looks like a regular Common Snapping Turtle. I've owned severel over the years and they are one of the hardiest turtle species I know of. Great pets actually...just not for kids as they can take a finger off. You have to check your state laws though as I think they are illegal to own in some places.

  7. Yeah, Sabretooth! Hes the strongest! Fo sho.

     

    Hate to be the party pooper again, but ol Sabretooth is only a 4 out of 7 on the marvel universe strength scale. So in other words...pretty weak compared to a lot of others.

     

    UMMM NO. Last I checked Sabretooth beat the [embarrassing lack of self control] out of Wolverine on several different occasions.

     

    This is the thread for whose the STRONGEST in the Marvel Universe. There is another thread for fighting ability.

     

    But since you brought it up...Wolverine is also just a 4 out of 7 on the strength scale. However Wovlie is one of only two to peak out at 7 on fighting ability whereas Sabretooth only ranks a 5. Sorry my vote would go to Wolverine there.
