Oh, I didn't realize that was last Wed.

You caught me off guard, Shep. I was expecting Wednesday as you mentioned. Great books offered, I've gotta say~

Love that book, no matter how many times I see it. Let's see EVERYBODY's OAAW 100. C'mon, folks. Cough up the pix! I'll look through my pics. Might take a week, but I'll post one or two. (thumbs u btw looking forward to the sale, Shep. It's fun buying books again.

Had a nice deal with Nik. Went through as smooth as silk. Andy

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Yeah, it sure was cool to be mentioned in the OSPG. It was a true honour. I love doing the polls/contests, but they're time consuming, and lately I haven't had a lot of extra time. There are a few things that I'm thinking of doing, one of which would be a "best non-greytone DC war" contest. This one makes sense, as it does always turn into the greytones taking over the contest, hands down. It'd be cool to see what prevails without them. Perhaps I'll gear that one up for a February launch. The interior page contest would be neat. I wouldn't consider it to be rude if you wanted to run that one. (thumbs u Happy New Year! Andy

It is short printed compared to Volume 1? then we can call the bible short printed too Now you are talking, put me down for five King James copies, and the Gideon variant edition!! Good luck. That's a tough version to find in original dust jacket.

By the way, Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love it as well.

I greatly enjoyed reading that. (thumbs u

What a great job!

2 great books there, thanks for posting! (thumbs u

Crazy tough book to get in any grade. Congrats on all of them!!

This is the bottom line here. If you have it priced well enough, it'll sell, no problem. Doesn't matter what the old grade was and such. If it's cheap, it'll fly. FWIW, I don't think any less of you after reading all of this. If I were in your shoes, I would have done things differently, as Bob would have also. He and I would like to know the prior grade, if known. It's not mandatory, but it would be nice if it were passed along. I think posting it in the Forum Sales Discussion Thread is alright. Some would take offense to having the prior history pointed out in their own thread. I side with Richard, as I wouldn't mind if it were done in my thread. Andy

This is not okay, and frankly, quite foolish as a pedigree copy of a book is likely to receive a higher grade than it's non-pedigree counterpart in the same condition. If you were to re-submit the book with the old CGC label showing the pedigree status, that information wouldn't be known to the grader, right? From what I understand, the graders get the books for grading in a mylar with a bar code on the mylar. The graders don't know the history or previous grade of the book, correct? So, if all of that's correct, then if you've got a pedigree book going to CGC for re-submitting, then you may as well include the old label to keep the pedigree status, no? That makes sense if you want to conserve the provenance of that book. I suppose the ones that wouldn't want to include the old label are trying to purposely lose the history of the book so the prospective buyers don't know that the book had a grade bump.

I've wanted to many times, but held back because there's no easy way to break this news. It's obviously not news to folks that can see from the scan that the guy's grades are wayyyyyy off, but some are more trusting than others or just don't know better. Dunno.

Personally, I would like to know CGC's previous opinion of a book, if that information is known by the seller. That's me. If the seller felt like giving Zilla's grade, and his own grade as well, great. More info will help me make an more-informed decision. (thumbs u What's the accurate grade of the book? After I see it, then I can tell you.

As are yours. Fact. I only have one fact check and this is it? I think one about covers it (thumbs u Oh got it. I'm sure Oh got it. He's pretty smart. But did you get it?

This cracks me up. Passing along info about some old comics being reslabbed is now equated to spouting biased beliefs. What's interesting is the idea that, just because someone is not interested in buying they should just keep their mouth shut. Sounds like you harbor some biased beliefs against the buyers of the world. Buyers vs. Sellers - The Next Holy War! It's biased in that not everyone cares to know. The idea that if someone is not interested they should keep their mouth shut is the essence of the debate over thread krapping. There is nothing against starting another thread or bringing the discussion here. Maybe even updating the rules. Unless it is a universally accepted belief then where do we draw the line? I believe this is how the discussion started. See, I hold an entirely different view. I post sales threads in the forum. Heck, I sell comics for a living. I could give a mess about thread krapping. In fact I endorse it in every one of my sales threads. If I post a sales thread I expect the books contained in it to be inspected, dissected, discussed, considered, and commented on. I love the positive comments ("What a great book!", "I'd buy it if I had the money!", "Great Price, Great Condition!"). I should also consider the negative comments. As a seller I should create a listing that is complete and above reproach. So if there is a negative comment (or thread krap) that is something I should be able to deal with with thick skin, an open mind, and a reasonable response. "You are thread-krapping, you big meanie" is not a reasonable response and does nothing to address the reason for the negative comment. Any seller listing here should understand that there are folks on the CGC boards who are very thorough in their understanding of the market and all the variables that go into buying and selling slabbed comics. If anyone is listing comics that have been upgraded here on these boards in these sales forums, ground zero for disclosure, then he should not be surprised when a boardie comes along and questions the listing. He should EXPECT it. You don't jump in a pool and get surprised when you get wet. Welcome the "thread-krap", address it, and move along. I love it! (thumbs u

Nice! OAAW #1 will always be a great book. (thumbs u

Wow, what a fine reference. Many, many thanks to you as well, my friend. I greatly appreciate the kind words. Oh, and I have 2 sons.

I don't want no freakin Salida...I want that one.

Can anyone fill me in and tell me why Larry's Comics gets such a negative response here? I really don't know. Thanks, Andy

so, is Animal Man still netting $10?
