  1. Let me know when you get off your high horse. You're no better than anyone else.
  2. I wasn't talking about CGC. I was talking about variant covers in general.
  3. And there's that condescension again. You see it as throwing money away? Okay. Don't buy the product. I don't see it that way. Let people like things.
  4. You think I don't know why they were created? Of course it's about money. I don't care.
  5. Trample upon integrity and decency? You don't want to buy them? Don't buy them.
  6. No, it's a difference of opinion as to what people want. I like cool art as well as a good story, and if I like a variant, I'll get it. I don't see why people can't let others like what they like without the condescension.
  7. Yeah, I'm not gonna act like they won't still be getting my business despite this being a terrible look for them. As long as no real competition exists, this is the only game in town. Sorry not sorry.
  8. I probably paid way too much, but the book looks fantastic (at least in the pictures). I had to have it.
  9. I just met the guy a couple of weeks ago, and he was cool with me too.
  10. I've heard horror stories about Fed Ex. I guess I'll just have to see if my experiences line up with those. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a touch worried about this decision.
  11. I fail to see the problem. Multiverse of Madness was awesome. That being said, whoever wrote this article replaced snark for real criticism. None of these films are "unwatchable" or have an "indecipherable plot".
  12. I can. You need glasses.
  13. It doesn't make much sense to me either really, but the market is what it is.
  14. Given the huge lag during the last year or so, it's ridiculous how old books drop off the tracking board. At least, if the book is not yet shipped, it should stay on the board.
  15. The thing is, I'm looking to slab many of my comics. Not a helpful solution.
  16. There's way too much snark on these boards regarding how people choose to collect. Congrats on the grade!
  17. That $49 is mine. Ha ha. I'll have to keep an eye on any upcoming covers from this artist.
  18. Many books I DO judge by their cover though. I love a great story, but I also love a great cover.
  19. Same here. Some people don't like how books look slabbed, but I don't understand them.
  20. I suspect it's just a printing issue. I had an X-Men #4 I sent in to get graded, and it had something similar on the last page. From the grader notes, it appears that I didn't get dinged for it.
  21. I already have a couple signed and slabbed books of his, but why not one more?
