Also saw it yesterday. It was a very fun movie all around.

Is there some background about the intense bond that was apparent in the movie between Widow and Fury? She, for a former KGB agent and general badass, seemed extremely distraught over Fury's situation. Someone like Hill I could maybe understand, but with the Widow it seemed unusual.

Yeah, that scene was pretty sweet.

Looks like the same rug to me.

When NM 94 came out on the shelves I loved the cover and had to have it. I went into the back issues looking for issue 93. It was already $3. I then asked about this Cable character. The store owner pulled a NM 87 off the wall behind him and said it was $20. I asked why it was that high and he had a CVM issue already hyping it.

This was in Allentown, PA. His prices were always high, but Cable was hot almost right away. I ended up buying a different copy a couple months later for $25 at another shop.

Fast payment from a friendly buyer!

Not sure if this exactly qualifies for the probation list but we can certainly work to not include them in any future raffles.

I gave up trying to lead any movement. I just spoke my piece and took a step back.

 

I agree with what bababooey said that there should be some consideration given to the fact that he's a kid. I did a lot of stupid things when I was a 12 years old that I'm glad aren't held against me now that I'm an adult. He knows he wasn't supposed to be here due to the age requirement which would lead to the obvious need to lie about his age. Making up the elaborate stories (believe me, I have some great ones) is but whatever. I chalk it up to him being concerned about being caught so he made up a story. In most of his stories he told to me, the role of "hero" was always play by his young son.

 

I DO think the father monitored his emails so he wasn't getting in trouble as far as creepy guys. I don't think the father takes the comic book industry seriously and is just happy his son is involved in something positive. The father admitted that he didn't know about CGC vs. PGX and had no idea about "grading comics". His son taught him that stuff. By taught, I'm guessing it's the same amount of "humoring the person" my wife gives me when I try to explain how excited I am about buying a certain book. I don't even think the father understands what the CGC Boards really are. He could (and this is all speculation) just look at it as another site like eBay devoted to buying and selling comics. I could be completely wrong and it wouldn't be the first or last time I was.

 

I DON'T think it was an elaborate plot to commit fraud against the CGC Boards. I think he was a 12 year old boy trying to make money to buy comics or Legos or whatever he was buying. I have no explanation for him trying to sell the same books he just poopooed at a higher grade/price. I PM'ed him explaining that I hope he learns to deal with people honestly in the future and uses this as a huge learning experience. I made it clear that what he did was wrong, but I have no doubt that he actually loved comics. He bought some Daredevil Essentials off of me because he really looked forward to reading about the character. I don't see a lot of potential in profit on some old DD Essentials books. He didn't read the PM's though before being banned though.

So, that is my argument for voting "no". As stated, I am well aware I'm in the minority in that opinion and sometimes that how things are. That's why this place is great and a community. People can have different views on things, but the majority vote rules. If you want to attack me or bababooey for having an unpopular view, have at it.

You are welcome to your own opinion indeed. That being said, I have this bridge you may be interested in buying.

Okay, I finally saw this whole video. Yes, I agree the kid is bright. No, I still don't believe it was only him posting.

They have these things called smart phones where you can access the internet even during school hours

 

I believe he has a tablet. One of the few things he said in a pm that I think is true.

Still believe, as I said when this was first revealed, this was not ALL done only by the 12 year old. Not only the content of the posts and PMs but the timing(during school hours) and frequency lead me to believe the dad was posting just as often as the kid.

Hmm...okay fine...

Looking back through many of his early posts, I am really finding it hard to believe that only a 12 (was he 11 earlier last year?) was behind all of this.

Does he not go to school? He was regularly posting on weekdays in the middle of the day.

Wow, he has done an awful lot for a 12 year old. I suspected he was young but not that young.

Are we sure about this age?

I engaged GIJOEISAWESOMESAUCE, or whatever his name is, about some of his WTB's. I just got a bad vibe almost immediately and told him/her (never used a name at all) I decided to keep my stuff.

*sigh*

 

If there is an effective way to deal with HOS/PL sellers spitting in the face of the community and flipping the bird to the list. How to note something in their sales threads to put potential buyers on notice.

 

And I KNOW it was shot down - I guess Bosco had said that he mentioned it to Arch sometime ago and it was shot down, I suggested, why not a "committee" work on something via PM. Something concrete with organization to present to Arch. Another pitch?

 

I'm sure the sales thread infraction template didn't always exist and was implemented after some discussion.

Why not just post in the sales thread that the seller in on the HOS/PL? Pretty sure this is what the mods mean by us policing ourselves.

 

Threadcrapping

Which is kinda silly, since we're supposed to be policing the sales threads ourselves. At least, that's my understanding.

I don't believe this simple notification was considered threadcrapping in the past. Perhaps that has changed recently.

*sigh*

I'm a bit disappointed that they would bring Negan to the show. How about move away from the comic and take it to a different place? New villain we haven't seen? I'd like to see a deviation from the comic to make both different.

 

My favorite GI Joe Christmas gift ever was the vehicle that made a bridge. Can't recall the name of it.

I'd rather folks not add the 3% for PayPal. But, I'm not going to lie, I'm good enough at math. If the total with 3% PayPal is what I'm willing to pay, I could care less.

I would not be surprised to see a small uptick in 86. 87 will always be the key though.
