Just got my new Batman Premium Format Statue. It's awesome!

Any suggestions on posting pictures from an iPad on here?

A few shots of the new Bedrock City vintage comics room, and a chance for a Timely guy to show off a few DC comics...

Very cool!

Those are awesome!

This piece is awesome! Who's the artist? And is it a commission piece?

I picked up a copy of FF 48 from Dale Roberts at the Denver Comic Con

Picked up my Dr Fate commission piece yesterday from Chad Hardin. He did an awesome job with the water colors and copic markers.

super pleased with this cover

 

Awesome piece!

My first piece of comic related art.

 

I have a couple of pieces done by Shelton Bryant myself. (thumbs u

My low grade mega key wall is nearly complete. I am just planning on swapping the ST 110, with a FF 1, which is being graded. The final spot is for AF 15 (just purchased).

 

I want a JIM 83 and Hulk 1, but there's no room for those. ::

That's a great collection. Many collectors would love to have them.

Those are awesome

Cool looking book Mike. (thumbs u

Dang that's a bunch of comics. (thumbs u You might want to move them out of the bedroom though if you're looking to get lucky.

Love that display case.

That's awesome. I bet he never thought he'd receive so much flack about a commission on the comic book chat boards. Looking forward to seeing you post a pic of it here when it's in hand.

I plan on having Chad doing a commission for me with Dr. Fate. The color really brings him out. Chad really is awesome to talk to.

Met Chad Hardin today at my LCS, he was doing a signing. I got a cool Zatanna page and a cool sketch. He was awesome to talk to, very down to earth. He really appreciates his fans.

I got a Liefeld commission! Don't know why I did it, but I love it:

I think this was his first Mary Marvel.

That's a cool Liefeld piece. I'm hoping to pick up a published page of his around X-Mas.

Here's two group shots of my Adams GL set I'm working on. It's definitely a fun set to put together in high grade.

Sweet Group shot. (thumbs u

Got this in the mail today from Blue808.

Some Mike Mignola goodness

 

Mike Mignola - Dr. Strange / Dr. Doom - Triumph and Torment pg.45

 

Sweet page

Tip of the hat to the fast turnaround on my Motor City Con drop-offs. (thumbs u

Great books Mike.

Seems to me the probation list is a holding spot for folks until they work out an active deal that's going bad. I'm not so sure this qualifies. This deal is history. It ended very poorly, but from the sound of the thread, it's ended.

 

 

The probation list includes at least one buyer who agreed to buy an expensive Golden Age book and then reneged on the deal. That deal is history, it ended very poorly as well. And there he sits...in the Hall of Shame.

 

You are probably right, though, this isn't probation list material, it's law suit material.

 

You've got a pretty cut and dried case of breach of contract.

 

Now you've got a buyer who was improperly denied the item that he contracted for and was performing for in good faith.

 

There's no valid legal reason for denying Matt this book or failing to perform properly under the agreement.

 

How long will it take Matt to find a replacement copy?

 

How much will that replacement copy cost Matt?

 

What if it takes him 2 years and costs him a great deal more?

 

If everyone REALLY wanted to make this right then the deal that was struck for the book needs to be undone and Matt needs to be given the chance to buy this book right now.

 

Matt's been damaged, clear and simple, and frankly I don't think it's a bad thing for everyone to know about it.

 

You're talking about two different things, though - the Probation List & the Hall of Shame.

 

As speedy says, the probation list is supposed to be a temporary position - with the end result being that at some point you'll make good on your commitments, and be taken off the list again. That this only happens on rather rare occasions has nothing to do with the purpose or nature of the list, but rather the fly-by-night nature of a lot of the Probation list members.

 

The Hall of Shame, however, is a permanent position - it's a scarlet letter, forever signifying that you really are a top-grade douchenozzle. Once you're on, you stay on.

 

Putting Yannis on the Probation list makes no sense - the book is sold, so he wouldn't be able to make it up to the OP. Adding him to the Hall of Shame makes perfect sense, though.

 

Makes perfect sense to me.

+1

Add him to the Hall of Shame.

The seller should be put on the probation list. Others have been put on for similar offenses, why is this any different?
