I was there, young and stupid. Didn't make time during the event to go to the Barks exhibit. But did have a lovely, low-key chat with Stan Lee and Clive Barker while we waited for some hall to open. Rode roller coasters with Neil Gaiman that same dealers con.

Whoo boy. People haven't talked about that one in awhile. For those who don't know. The ban on employees selling books they have graded is just that, a ban on employees doing it (and maybe, IIRC, just a ban on doing it in a commercial endeavor, not limited selling of your collection). It does not affect the limited time (but often very frequent - i.e., multiple times during a year or multi year period) "consultants" they hired during busy times or for whatever reason, i.e., Mark Haspel https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/3974/consultants/. There were more than just the two I linked. Those consultants (not saying anyone in particular) would be grading for CGC but going around cons buying up raw books and then subbing them and selling during the time they were "consulting."

2 employees. 1 grader and his wife (in ebay verification for cards) allegedly in scheme where they stole submitted books and subbed them for their own account and then sold them.

My immediate thought too: Give me a Biscuits' show! -
Marvel Studios Hawkeye spinoff Echo coming to Disney+
Transplant replied to AJLewandoski's topic in The Movie Forum
Echo is not, first and foremost, a superhero show. Get that notion out of your head. Think of it more as a show set in the MCU. It has more similarities to the Netflix MCU shows, no big surprise. I enjoyed it and recommend others watch as well. It has a good bit of action and earns the mature label, if you step back and see what happens to people in the fight scenes. It was great to see lots of actors from one of my favorite TV shows of the past few years: Reservation Dogs. Echo isn't perfect and they took a good detour to finally setup her main supernatural/human power. Overall though, I think it's well paced and a good story. -
The retro video game market has crashed?
Transplant replied to SpineTic's topic in CGC Video Games General Discussion
I'd add to that: distrust of whether some of the "record sales" were real to begin with. -
Starfield Is Coming
Transplant replied to Randall Dowling's topic in CGC Video Games General Discussion
I've enjoyed the ones I've played. AC Valhalla was really good. There are elements of lots of fetch quests, but I'm not an OCD 100% completionist usually. -
Starfield Is Coming
Transplant replied to Randall Dowling's topic in CGC Video Games General Discussion
Look, people. I don't want to get sucked into whiling away countless hours on this game yet. For some weird reason, I'm sucked into Assassin's Creed Black Flag, a 10 year old game. So I need you nerds to give me your impressions. -

Will @MrBedrock be set up at his own con? 'Cause I feel that's kind of like wearing the t-shirt to the concert. -
