    Yes.

    Also, that glare causes a suspicious misreading...

    Almost.

     

    Its a good marketing strategy, but for whom? 

    I'd have to say the celery, because Marvel doesn't need any attention

    I'm sure @Hollywood1892 is here in spirit or with another account already at 3,000 posts in 3 days :baiting:

    I wonder what finally got him banned? I felt bad vibes about him as soon as I joined. How does someone get that many posts in such a short period of time? Must be a blabber mouth!

    Steve Ditko actually wrote about Spider-man... A LOT

    Is it easier for a guitarist, or a drummer, to have individual success?

    Let's just admit that their collaborations far outweigh their individual measures.

    Dream Theater isn't the same without Mike Portnoy - and vice-versa.

    Stan Lee simply climbed the ladder into a position of more creative control. Being the editor, publisher, producer, 'presenter', etc of Marvel gave him more control and recognition. Some guys flourish as the headman - and others don't. Stan did well in that role.

    Well Put!:martini:

    Hard to argue that Scars on Broadway was successful without Serj Tankian (System of a Down) despite a pretty decent solo effort and whatever happened to Jason Newsted after he left Metallica?

    When it comes to creative productivity, two minds will always operate with more effectiveness then one, so long as those two minds work in unison for one objective. And that objective was to build Marvel into what it is today, by continuing to entertain the masses while lining the owners pockets

    Steve Ditko has to be honest with himself in this regard, and maybe he never wanted the spotlight to begin with.

    I wonder who takes credit for half the plagiarized characters in most comic books? IMO Dr.Strange was original and if Ditko created Spiderman I can understand his animosity towards Stan Lee. It isn't Steve Ditko in cameo in every single Marvel movie.

    Ditko is Tesla to Lee's Edison.

    Most people outside of the collecting community wouldn't even know who Steve Ditko is, but they would know who Stan Lee is.

    I have a 9.8 right here that got severely shaken and the cover is practically falling off.  Staples almost out.  Like half an inch of first page showing under the cover.  I have hundreds of 9.8s and this is by far the worst--uglier than most 9.6s.  Absolutely no one would be happy receiving this book, but it's in a 9.8 slab.  If I made an auction using a photo of someone else's 9.8 copy of the same book, that was visually flawless, and then sent the winner my damaged book, there is not one person on this board that would be happy receiving it.  

    I have to be honest, the way you are describing the condition of your 9.8 with staples almost out and cover practically falling off isn't even a 9.6 in my opinion.

    Preorders or common books would be one thing, but the ones I am talking about are in the $5-700 range and don't have hundreds of 9.8s in existence.  I think "laziness" is a bit too gentle of an explanation (even if accurate) for what is actually fraud.

    Anyway, I'm debating putting in a bid on the one I missed last time which I'm guessing will arrive as a similar 9.8 with a different number.  But as I am of the opinion that not all 9.8s are equal, if I bought one that in any way negatively deviated from the pic, then I'd be putting in a claim. Not sure if worth it.

    It isn't actually fraud.

    It becomes fraud if the serial number isn't legit, its a fake book, seller takes buyers money and doesn't send product.

    Granted it is misleading insofar that your getting a different book then the one pictured, but put it this way "You want 9.8 Thor 337 and you did and win on the product pictured, but when your product comes in and it is a 9.8 Thor 337 with a different CGC serial number, rather then panic you go to a reputable grading site to determine it's legitamacy, and it turns out it is exactly what you got" are you offended?

    I don't like the laziness, but I haven't been screwed (yet).

    Thankfully!

    That would be the first thing I would worry about if the book went back up a couple of days after purchasing.

    I would be satisfied though if I got the same book with another serial number., I can see how taking pics of hundred of the same book could be time consuming.
