Hey guys? Is there a Greek Town dinner planned? Maybe Friday night?

Heheh. Had me scrambling there for a second. Baggage handler strike. I'm all carry on, baby!

control your spending, greggy

Yeah, I'll see you guys there! Looking forward to it. I won't need to worry about driving to Toronto or parking. I'm flying like a bird, my friend.

London to Toronto, Toronto to Chicago. Chicago to Toronto, Toronto to London. It's much simpler and I can close my eyes on the way.

It didn't plateau at all. Enjoyable right till the end. On a side note, I just heard that Betty and Jughead are now dating in real life.

Oh wait....can people in the UK grade books?

Mick, how was San Diego?

I'm buying the Walt Simonson HC Limited to 1000 HC and 1000 SC.

I would allow any and all books to be for sale in the VCC. For the VCC only. This would include books listed elsewhere, and also books in raw form or any slabbed holder. The VCC has become less and less attractive. Allowing more books to be listed will make it more attractive, guaranteed. If you put the VCC on ice for a year, it will fizzle and die. My

This here is the prize thread for my 2017 Green Eggs Grading Contest! Feel free to make a donation, or even multiple donations. Please understand, you will be responsible for shipping worldwide, unless you state otherwise. As there are many contestants, I hope to see lots of prizes being thrown up. I will continue to update the 2nd and 3rd posts in this thread to recap what has been donated. What can you donate to the prize pool? Whatever you want, really. I wouldn't suggest offering up some really crappy stuff though, or things that are worth less than the shipping cost. I also would never ask anyone to donate multi-hundred dollar items, but that certainly has happened many times before. In the end, it's all up to you what you'd like to offer. Thanks y'all! -Andy

We have 78 participants so far. Would really like to get this number over 100. The more the better! If you've never played before, I suggest just signing up. It will be fun and a great test. Also, for many, the prizes donated are usually pretty good, and are plenty. You could place 40th in the contest and still be very happy with the prize you chose. If you haven't signed up, do it now!

You sonnofa.....

Welcome, Charles! This should be the place to get your answers.

I'll start a prize thread in the next two days.

Hi all, Would like to cordially invite any of the old dogs to participate in my grading contest. This will be the 5th year I've run it and it truly is a lot of fun. The sign up thread is located in Comics General. Just follow the link below: Hope to see you all join in! Andy

I agree with you!

Will there be a witness for CGC there?

Looks like it will be greggy and Joey, swimming with the fishes.....

Happens far too frequently.
