I wouldn't touch a samco aution with a 10 foot pole. I've never seen any book that didn't look overgraded.

This bad boy just arrived today. I'll bet AtlasFan has one already:

I’d be happy with any of those books in my collection. Did the IM come slabbed at the flea market?

How about people like cd4ever who advertise "no good stuff" and "junk" and then deliver the goods as promised?

Great cards. Do they have 70s-style off-color punchlines by any chance?

Big kudos to Buck Biggins for some suh-weet Copper ASMs and the fast shipping!

As a youngun, what I liked about 181 was the cover which seemed to be an absolutely iconic representation of the Hulk. And I thought the Wolverine was cool, but was far more interested in the Wendigo.

Nice, nice copy of a tough book! (thumbs u

Well, it sounds that way, but Steve Borock said in one of his other threads: Actually, he really did call CGC. I don't know who he is, but I heard about the "conversation".

Don't forget Sal's special recipes!

MJ is sporting a lot of jiggle lines.

No, the source I cited but deleted is the source.

Nevermind.

I might've answered too fast without thinking it through thoroughly. I've pretty much given up in general, anarchy is the rule of thumb these days.

That means links to other sites where the book is for sale, such as ebay, Heritage, Comiclink, a dealer site etc.

There's now a NEXTLVL thread over in General.

Maybe a little odd. But don't think I'm basing my decision on what I learn here. I like to research everything I do. I don't like to go into anything unprepared. Hearing how others have been changed, whether I know them or not, is good information to have. This is just one of 100s of ways I plan to get the inside scoop on child rearing. I don't know if somebody peed in my Cheerios this morning, but that just sounds wack. Having a child isn't the same thing as investing in a stock portfolio, getting a deal on a slabbed key Marvel or investigating local government corruption on the local news. Maybe it's just the choice of words used. Scoop on child rearing? You'll need one for the poop. There'll be lots of it.

Having a kid has been great and I can't imagine life without him. You should listen to NoJoner. Talk to your friends with kids and spend time with kids. It's not a decision to be made lightly, and to be honest, posing the question on a comic chat board to a bunch of people you probably don't know all that well strikes me as a bit odd.

As Ann Landers once said, "It's too bad that common sense usually isn't."

Eff you. Where the F is my last batch of books? Did you get my books yet?

If I was complaining, brother, you'd know about it. Anyways, I'm through with complaining, it's a new day and time to greet the world with a smile and cheerful disposition.

I think I forgot to leave kudos. Big fat kudos to DCEng, Heinlein99, HighVoltage and Greggy for paying fast and being a swell bunch of fellas.

To clarify - I never said that Steve has broken any rules, just that if all of his sales threads were coming from somebody else, especially a new member, and/or if the books weren't up to snuff, I'm sure there would be complaining.
