  1. Very sweet. Usually we get excited about another type of blowup.
  2. I'd be tempted to crack that out to see what the interior cover looks like.
  3. You don't have to bother checking with the auction house. Thanks for the offer though. Just curious about the hammer price because, as you said, the books do look nice.
  4. I just don't get it. What motivated Connor to do such a thing?
  5. Quick Story- Was at the Chicago Con digging thru boxes when a guy comes up and asks the dealer "Do you have any double covers?". I turn to the guy and I say, "Joe?". Turns it was gijoed with whom I've traded a lot of emails and some books. He set up a small booth at the con and was selling 2-packs, 3-packs, comics, and ephemera. Had a lot of conversations with him and even gave him some GA double covers that I found and did not fit my collection. Really funny guy. Told me his first book he ever bought off of the rack was JLA #21. He's trying to get the book in every possible CGC grade. 0.5 / 1.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 2.5 etc. I saw him picking up about six copies of JLA #21 from the CGC booth. Had a beautiful looking 9.4 Also saw him subbing a book that he was hoping to get a 1.0, as he already have a 0.5. I told him the book looked too nice and he should rip off more of the back cover.

  7. Really? I thought gijoed was in the 5300-5500 range for feedback? I just checked one of his last wins and it is 3759 now so that must be someone else. Yikes! I must have transposed the first two digits of his feedback number.

  9. A Boardie sold it, gijoed bought it. Thought it would go for more.
  10. This has always been my exact experience. $23 or so, 45 pounds via media mail.
  11. History always repeats itself. Another youngster makes The List.
