  1. First off - "Yo Gaz, how ya doing?" (thumbs u

     

    Secondly, I discovered the CGC just after getting into the hobby in 2005, found a CGCd book on Ebay & was like, what the hell's this? looked up CGC, bought my first book and joined the CS, but it was another 9-12 months before I ventured onto the boards.

     

    I have never said very much, still don't ( as you can see by my post count) but like others I have read these boards every day since I joined (see date on left!)

     

    I like it here because I feel a part of something larger and it keeps me up to date with current comic events (literally & figuratively)

     

    One post every 4 days? You make me feel positively loquacious.

     

    :gossip: I'll read your response on the first.

     

    Yeah, with my timetable - the first of never..

  3. i'm dumping Thor once he turns into a woman...great up till then. All New X-Men is a good title.

     

    I have loved Aaron's Thor & promoted it, but I'm afraid I've also culled the new incarnation from the pull list for the upcoming 'chick flip' - I'm not sexist... but I don't relate to, or enjoy female orientated stories, or while we're on the subject female sports - so stop ruining my day with she-male gods & prime time ladies cricket :preach:

  4. On a more somber yet opportunistic note. I've noticed lower sales all week and with few exceptions, everything I normally watch are down, down, down. Enormous seems to be holding and Rat Queens ( though a Staples variant sold under $35 yesterday) and Manifest Destiny (mostly holding steady) and not much else from the recent stuff I like. There have been a few steals but mostly it has been like a ghost town with flat pricing.

     

    I thought maybe recent announcements from ebay might have been the culprit but it's not just ebay. It seems there was also a lot less activity on the boards this week. I think we saw this last year around the same time. Is anybody watching or selling any titles that are ticking up as a whole ?

     

    I haven't sold much this year on ebay but I think its a great barometer. Have you guys noticed a recent heavy push toward auctions and away from BIN ?

     

    Funny you should mention this, I've been selling heavily thru my store for 2/3 months, the last week has been a graveyard for me - worst since beginning of May & I only sell BIN's (shrug)

  5. Picked up another cover B today, at least being in Philly is good for something.

     

    Also got Southern Dog #1. It's coming out in August from Action Lab, but 215 did the 1st issue in 2012. Sleeper? Or something I should have kept to myself haha

     

    This is something I've been looking at as well, definite potential... hm

  6. I also have the Marvel Graphic Novel collection and it's bent more than one of my shelves under its' weight !!

     

    Comic rooms demand uniformity and straight shelf lines so you have to move it to the bottom :foryou:

     

    "For the love of god Jim (Supernovaa) the structural integrity canni handle it" :insane:

  7. Anyone else going in on the Rai #2 Recalled Mask Variant???

     

    I'm figuring awesome artist+awesome writer+pretty good comic so far+limited numbers=huge potential.

     

    Do I have something here, or am I being ridi-culous???

     

    I'm holding mine for CGC SS plus Recalledcomics.com should have an article about it at some point which should drive up the price 2c

     

    +1 I'm also holding onto mine for CGCing'

  8. Tell me about it.. !! I got my first neg in over 1000 feedbacks the other month when I had the gall to ask a buyer to honour a transaction when he asked to drop out of a purchase cause he'd found the same item cheaper by £1, I said to him I'd have been more likely to say yes if he spun me a yarn, he responded with the worst series of abusive emails I've ever received and he negged me and gave me 1 star ratings - without even paying !!

     

    I sent ebay the emails, filed a complaint, etc., used their process & still they refuse to remove the neg and the poor stars

  9. As a UK buyer I have had nothing but the best service and decent shipping prices, also their packaging is top notch.

     

    On the topic of grading I have sent in their NM's to CGC (blind) and received 9.8's and 8.5's, it's quite a range from 9.4, but it's worth it when you're stocking a raw and graded collection of the same title at the same time and don't want to pay 9.6/9.8 prices.
