Absolutely. You don't have to wait 30 days to report that you're having a problem with someone. Just talk about it in the discussion thread. Gives others a heads-up to avoid their own problems.

What is your background in comics? $10? That's pretty sad on his part. Maybe you only provided $8 quality references?

Kudos to r1970d for a nice upgrade of DD7 and to pennynike1 for a Crippen photo-c western book. Thanks.

Yikes! That's quite a week. Nice books.

Nice book. It won't be hard to find now that I have it on a want list will it?

I've thought of this sometimes when a member will post, "I'm going on vacation for two weeks." I think, especially if that person is a frequent seller or buyer, that they've just left notice that they're gone and that collection is unattended. Please don't bother posting about the security measures you have, the size of your gun or the size of your dog. This is just a general observation and is not directed at you, gentle reader.

Depends on who you ask.

It's a pizza. Pick it up and eat it anyway. It's not like it fell out of the box or the guy bled on it.

Also thanks to FlyingDonut for quick shipment of some nice $5 books.

Just to make sure Kenny, I wasn't even thinking of you in this series of posts. "pimping your daughter"? How stupid to even think such a thing. Like I said, it's a matter of personal comfort. 'Teckid27 made a good point. I can anticipate my girls being at a con with me in the near future. Not sure I would decline to post a pic of that here. The joy of a proud papa is pretty hard to contain.

I understand this take and I'm not trying to be all tin-foil hat wearing either, but there's a difference. When you go to the mall, how many people see you? They only see you at that moment, not a week later or a year later. Of course, they're plenty of public information available to people willing to work at it. When I made this post, I was thinking of two things specifically: pics of your kids and personal stories. Plenty of pics of people's kids. If they're ok with that, more power to 'em. I personally am the type to not sign the blanket permission slip at my kids' school allowing the local paper of TV station to come in and photo/video them wholesale. As for personal confessions/embarassing stories, I can recall several since I've been here where I just shake my head. Kind of like the story of the southern revival. One woman stands up and shouts out loud that she cheats on her taxes. The preachers thanks her for sharing her story. Another man gets up and shouts that he drinks alcohol. The preacher thanks him for sharing his confession. Another man stands up and proclaims that he has relations with farm animals. All the music stops and everyone turns to the man. The preacher raises the microphone and says, "Brother. I don't believe I would've shared that information."

Couldn't agree more Doc. PMs are like emails which are like having one on one conversations (if you ignore the risk of being hacked). I'm not discouraging folks from posting whatever they like here. I just think everyone needs to consider the fact that this is not a private or even semi-private place. Unlike Question, I'm much more likely to talk about personal details when I'm conversing face to face. There's just less risk involved. A good point was made that different people have different boundaries. I just wanted to throw this out there since many people are quick to hit send on a post.

Wanna get together some time and trade water boarding secrets. Just the person I was thinking of.

Let me offer the following preface: I've only been here a few months and already feel a real sense of community. I can't wait to meet several of the people I've chatted with here in person. All of that said, I get the real feeling that people most too much really personal information here. I only recently put up a photo of my wife and I. But I figured that anyone who was dedicated enough, not that anyone would be interested, could track down a photo of me by knowing my profession and location. However, I will not post pictures of my kids here. I may know you, the person reading this post, but I don't know that other guy reading this post. You know the one, the new member, the guest browsing, the creepy member I've never met. I would encourage people to remember that posting here is not quiet nor confidential. It's akin to opening your window of a downtown apartment and screaming your information to the throngs of people below. Only magnify that by 10x. I can not fathom revealing some of the most intimate of details that people talk about here all the time. I understand that people feel comfortable here and that this is a little community. Two caveats. First, what you say is here practically forever between CGC's server retention and Google's cache. It may never go away. Second, you don't know everyone reading your post. I don't think my little post is going to dissuade anyone here from putting up a family shot of them and their kids or divulging that their wife just left them. I would just ask you to consider that there are members here who don't readily divulge specific books they are collecting for fear of having others get in a bidding war with them. Is your personal info any less important?

Congrats. I know you've been after it for a long time.

Sorry for the delay. Had to work late last night. Front then back inside covers.

Why doesn't that Ranger have a Purple and Yellow label? If staple replacement is allowed in grade, why note it?

I do but it will be this evening before I can get it scanned.

Kudos to 143sk for some great Russ Cochran oversize EC reprints and a bonus book. Thanks Steve!

At the moment, this has been my favorite thread on the whole board for months. Glad it's back. I need to post some low grade ducks I've bought in the past couple of months.

Big Zombie Kudos to Moonlite for Vols. 2-3 of the Walking Dead. Great price and a terrific read.

Thanks to OldGuy, Flaming_Telepath & kahml for recent sales to me. All graded and shipped the right way.

I think I'm about 2500 but I could cut that to about 1000 tomorrow if I could bring myself to throw some away. For some reason I can't stand losing the value tied up in them but can't make myself spend the time to get them sold.
