Terry JSA

This year will be my first time attending.

The guest list is stacked. But I won't be attending this year unfortunately.

I have always bought them because I like them. And because I like them and kept them, just by accident, they have become pretty good investments…

Felt that.

More record breaking prices for PL 17... almost 30k for a 3.5.  Would a Showcase 22 or Sensation 1 even go for that much in the same grade now?  Feel like I must have missed a movie or TV show announcement or something.

- Good Girl Cover

I only see this book going up.

This just might be me though biased, because it sucks having the reference of having read SEVERAL suicide notes by people over my life, several of which who did live and did say they only said things meant to hurt others as a final act out the door)

Oh- 

Definitely sorry to hear that. Something someone shouldn’t have to experience.

A family member was sexually assaulted when she was 16, by a man at her church. She told her priest and he said she was making it up to get attention. So she told no one else.

At 23 she finally went to the police. The guy actually confessed to doing it and was sentenced to 5 years in prison, SUSPENDED, if he went to treatment. 

Stuff like that, my friend, is why women don't come forward sooner. 

Happens all the time.

 

 

I understand it when you put it that way. I’m clearly ignorant when it comes to this situation. It’s messed up all around and with one mistake, you’re genuinely screwed.

There’s no win/win for either party I feel. Yeah, he was a creep, but what did you gain from him taking his own life?

Don't do that - don't be that guy who starts to throw the victims under a bus with absolute zero reasoning even if it is in the 'just asking questions, bro' framing (if you know any abuse victims IRL you know how common it is to NOT report at the time. I guess all the women I know who were raped had a 'motive' for waiting years before reporting).

There were MULTIPLE women who accused him of being a creep, including using his position in the industry to try to get sexual favours from them.

I’m not trying to victim blame anyone, but at a certain age, you should know better. If you’re underage and or engage with a creep, call them out for it. Don’t wait until a tragedy like this happens.

And yet, the CGC Census Population report says it was updated yesterday on March 26 as regularly scheduled every Tuesday.  

I guess you are saying that although the census is updated every week, it is really updating data retroactively from a couple of weeks ago?  

Ask CGC why the 9.9 isn’t showing up?

Did you read up on what he did? He was somewhat creepy and suggestive to a 17 year old. He could have slept with her and it wouldn't be a crime in 39 out of 50 states. 

As a man roughly his age, his actions were indefensible and gross. That said, the internet does what the internet does best and went totally overboard. At least the Athenians had the decency to take a vote before ostracizing someone. Other cultures consider shunning among their most serious punishments. We immediately hand it out like candy at the behest of anonymous internet mobs. That should give us pause...

Why TF did she choose to leak them when she turned 21? Hmmm. What was her motive?

So this is kind of strange. I was curious to see if there were any other copies at 9.9, and when I checked the certification number it would not link to the census. As a work-around I checked other GSX and linked to the census that way, and no 9.9 copies show up even though the cert number checks out.

**EDIT** not sure if there is normally a lag between grading and a book appearing the census. It seemed odd to be but it could be perfectly normal. 

 

The census updates every few weeks or so. So no, it’s not going to immediately show up.

This book came out of nowhere.

I still think it is cool that you caught him away from a "table" and he still was nice enough to pose for a photo! He looks genuinely interested in what's going on.

He was very interested.

And these all happened like a day or 2 apart.

Enjoy this picture of me and Al Milgrom for no real reason.

Eh. 300 is alright.

Controversial take. But there’s a lot of old people in this thread. But his art was always mediocre after TDKR.

Frank really went off his rockers after 9/11.

Does anyone want to give me a small loan of $5M for the Action #1? 

In all seriousness, a sugar mama would come in handy for times like this.

Does anyone want to give me a small loan of $5M for the Action #1? 

You cannot compare the two. Enough said.

RIP to a legend!

It was a nice show! Didn’t buy any books, but it was nice seeing friends and other fellow boardies.

I'm taking out this time
To give you a piece of my mind
'Cause you can't knock the hustle
Who do you think you are?
Baby, one day you'll be a star

My exact thought process. I’m not knocking his hustle at all. This was absolutely genius.

That sucks. Why would they remove it? @CGC Mike

What are you trying to hide Ryan? I wanna know.
