  1. thanks folks!

    unlikely I can post any more after this morning, but I hope to be back in full force come early February!

     

    till then, toodles

     

    They have internet cafes all over Thailand.

     

    in Bangkok yes...not in the village we will be in...no running water or plumbing so definitely no internet cafes doh!

     

    Stay away from Patpong road if you want to see your kids more than every other weekend.

    we head back to bangkok today, then get on plane for 30 hours of flights to the US tomorrow!

     

    lol you wrote "Bangkok"

  2. It's at the whim and indulgence of the forum admin, Architect. Saying something awkward or silly or stupid or funny usually works. It might happen tomorrow. It might happen in a year or two. It might never happen. (shrug)

     

    But be careful, you might get one you don't like....although I was able to get mine altered.

    Peds + sigs!! Killer books!! :applause::headbang:

    :( To me these books are no longer peds. Their ped history has been skewed. They were newsstand fresh OO comics but now they've got black marker on them.
    They are still the same books with the same provenance. I think the term "OO" is thrown around way to much. They ceased to be OO books the moment they were sold. Now they are just books with a solid history owned by someone who probably likes them the way they are. To each his own.

     

    Respectfully disagree in the case of pedigrees and signature series. Every comic is owned temporarily, and the owner is a custodian. For pedigree comics with a provenance, the custodial responsibility can be argued to be more important than the circumstance of the owner of the moment. According to this argument, preserving the provenance and historical nature of a pedigree comic is a responsibility of the custodian. To those holding this view, pressing and creator signatures run counter to the custodial responsibility.

     

    Would you really want a creator signature on a top census example of a rare GA comic from the Church collection?

     

    Yes

  5. It's mostly fellow boardies identifying new trooper books for me, it's slowed down a lot though. Mostly it's Cimm letting me know of Pulps with trooper covers. I haven't had a new comic identified in several months. I think my list for US comic trooper covers is about 90% completed.

     

    Could you put that My Greatest Adventure #4 as an attachment so I can see it?
