  1. Collectors shouldn't be as concerned as a flipper about TAT, cause the book gets tucked away anyway. Flippers need to put up or shut up.
    So you don't mind waving goodbye to your books for 3-9 months and paying for the privilege of doing it?
    At any given point in time, I might have books at CGC, books being pressed, books at Heritage, Clink, CC, MCS, etc. I'm also often waiting for checks from auction houses which translates to months from the time I send my book(s) off. There are times I can't buy/bid a book because everything is in limbo.It all gets a little confusing, fustrating and even exciting, but I am at the helm and when its all clicking in the cycle, with a little luck, sometimes I am glad CGC held my book so long. Time is a comic books best friend generally. These days I tend to have more time than money so I try to buy smarter books that generally sell for a profit, earn a bump in grade, or are just plain grail to me. If CGC is holding an AF15 of mine for 1 year, it is still mine and earning interest the whole time its there. Least of my worries. Flipping books that go Express is my main focus, not moderns.

    Yeah, you twerps that can ony afford to flip moderns need to put up or shut up. If you aren't going big and going express then quit you whining.

     

    BTW, express and walk through are about the only two tiers on schedule.

     

    Ya know, I'm kinda offended by this statement. So since I can only afford to dabble in moderns I'm a twerp and you "big boys" who deal in silver are better than me? F$%k you!

  2. I can 100% guarantee that this is real. I speak to Jim on a regular basis and he actually sent me this exact info to put out there. The offer is real, and the contact info is good. Jim has asked me to handle his Signature Series CGC signings and I know this info to be true.

  3. While we are at it, I posted on the WTB forum, but...in case anyone has quantity of #1 (1st print), I'm very interested. I am willing to pay $12 per book, and I'm looking for 100 copies. Anyone have any extras...?

     

    I have quantity, but would never sell them for $12 ea. And before anyone asks, No!

  4. I would have thought that those conditions which in a less enlightened time we might have referred to using the blanket term Retarded each have a correct name of their own which is better known now than in the past. Similar to how at one time those suffering from Downs Syndrome were referred to as .

     

    Again, this is just my opinion, but if you in a bantering way now refer to someone as a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point, you are really just questioning their level of intelligence rather than comparing them to a person with a specific condition.

     

    To me that legitimizes the word as an epithet or insult, because it does not refer to any specific actual condition or group of people. (shrug)

     

    I try not to use the word for the sole reason that it bothers some people. I still do it from time to time because for years I said it 50 times a day. To me it means the same as dummy, but I don't want to unintentionally offend anyone. I prefer to do it head on.

     

    and it shows that you're a good person deep down somewhere in your feet.

     

    Totally uncalled for...ewwww

  5. The Annapolis Comic Con variant of Adventure Time #1. This is the virgin cover which had around 200 printed and only give out to people who bought VIP packages. I"m looking for one of these, but damn it's starting to get expensive lol

    hm

     

    last one sold for $150 and the one before that was $256 but it was for charity and also a month or so before the convention began.

     

    The guy next to me at eccc when i was setting up had a stack if 20 or so of these.

     

    I might question whether some fell off the back of a truck somewhere.

    I'll check tomorrow and see what he is selling them for.

     

    I'm sure the ones he had were the ones limited to 800 that were for sale at the show. The ones with a title on them.
