Dang I put 1.8 for the detached cover, thinking it couldn't best 2.5, I have a 4.5 with a detached centerfold

But I thought covers were different oye.

And I also missed the second book by only two grades. So there is that.

I shouldn't have "assumed!"

I was a 1.8 also because of detached...split etc oh well

9.0

I give it a go...Thanks!

You should try an Espresso Momoko. They're delightful!

Sounds exquisite!

When I drink too many Momoko's I become an "Under the INFLUENCER".

Just don't tell them the book is "garbaage" and only worth "X"...that a  a D@@uche move.

He says in his auction description (paraphrasing) 'you may have seen my face in the media'. 

What professional media work has he done (worded badly but I mean interviews and whatnot)? Can anyone please tell me? 

Otherwise, the only way I've seen him in the media is as a possible suspect for a few offences. 

Does the infamous "Toilet Grail Comic Show" count?  🚽💰🤔

Is it bathroom tested???

OH wow, paid attention to your post! One of my parents also had rods put in years ago! She now gets around fine and is foreverly grateful! Although she's had Knee replaced since then and now needs a hip done  she still says the knee was the hardest  but you have my thoughts and prayers  

But now you got me wanting to stop at every single sale  problem is they seem to be at the very same houses  throughout the years? Is this normal?  @cabinboy @littledoom

Yes...wrong quote. Yes, the left knee was done 1st ( the 3rd on the knee -2 prior Football) and then it progressed on to back...no rod..opening up discs...pinching the cord...mostly sports/heavy lifting. Oh well...more time for ART. Thanks!

I give you kudos for the try and ask. SO many garage sales near me, the few times I've "stopped and asked" nada

I'm sure it either is advertised online or the luck of the draw, but I admire the effort! Few and far between probably but  

Awesome pull...congrats. I don't know if it's the same with comics (recovering from spine surgery since getting back into comics) but when I was doing antique & transistor radios and paper collectibles....my ratio was at least 20 yard sales per 1 score.

Look where this S Show has led us

I guess the Black Flagger might be losing this....

I'm more  of an Unleaded collector

I'm afraid it seems that this car has run out of gas. We'll have to walk the rest of the way if we want to reach any answers on that grading.

That’s what I thought you were referencing. Another “con exclusive” and after all of this still preferential treatment, con-goers getting left out, and people paying too much from the fam.

Its really weird to go to a convention where Whatapp is there, where there is a convention variant that the convention is selling and has limited to 2 per person on the first day and 1 per person on every other day only to walk over to the whatapp booth and see multiple people live streaming from that show bragging about having 20 to 30 copies of that book.
One guy was even saying "I BROUGHT THE FIRE".

And these whatsap guys are being paid and flown to these conventions? What is the point in regular local people even going if all the "fire" is sold out and you have to go to some stupid app to buy them? How does this help attendance? I don't get it.

Indeed....

+1. I do get the sense of that most of us here are collecting and occasionally flip/selling to support that our growing collections.

That describes me...as well as the grading area, and of course the titillating conversations and intelligent insights here on the boards. 👍🤔😎
