  1. Do you have scans? Lists of defects aren't the only factor here, at least not for me. I'd need to see what the eye appeal of each book is since the technical grades are equivalent. Yeah, pretty tough to assess without seeing what the books look like. I’ll add that if these are common books that are readily available, you may want to pick up a copy without tanning.
  2. Oddly, although I have been getting the same "request blocked" window, I was able to log into NGC boards. Maybe I'll bop over to their WC and give it a stir...
  3. I’m all about a pay as you go flip phone. I’m in front of a computer all day long, I don’t need to carry one around in my pocket. Plus I pay about $6.66 a month for my phone.
  4. I've had my eyes on these for several years. I'd choose to look over at a nice piece of furniture from my couch rather than shelves of white cardboard boxes any day, but these aren't in the budget at the moment.
  5. It's a bird, it's a plane... no it's just a beater Strange Tales #57.
  6. Using the X-Ray Specs I bought as a kid I can see it just fine: a corner crease, slightly dirty and a light stain from a glass of Tang. You actually use those for something besides looking at blouses and skirts?
  7. Our family liked the movie as well, although it wasn't quite as good as the books. The humor got flattened a little when formatted to a 90 minute feature film. Dav Pilkey is a funny guy; the Dog Man series is another good one.
  8. My comment had more to do with Blowie's inimitable photo style than a comment on the Baltimore Con itself.
  9. Almost looks like one of those Buffalo area shows.
