Great book, BP! Love it.

I love these pictures. Some cool books on the other side too.

Not necessarily scarce at all but I have always wanted a copy of this book - low grade but still a fun book

He's mean. You should see what he said about my Momma's combat boots. What could he possibly say about your sweet mother and her combat boots? and I'm getting ready for bed. Can't let this be the last image in my mind.

I'm no expert and not a DC guy but doesn't Dark Knight Returns have multiple prints?

Those are great Sean - Larkin is great

That's really too bad - what a historical figure, and to end up doing something so unethical taints that iconic status. It's sad to think that one of the best, the most visionary and innovative would throw it all away so easily - especially at an age where people, fans and collectors deeply respect your experience and wisdom. It is my understanding that Beerbohm himself wrote that wiki article.

So sad for the hobby. Really disgusting scumbag that needs to just go away.

Because the transaction was NOT between CGC forum members. The transaction was between one forum member and one non-member. No the transaction IS between two forum members: Matthew42383 & BLBComics I think Pov's point is that Matthew42383 was not a board member at the time of the transaction so the actual transaction was not between CGC forum members when it happened.

You still run into the problem of not knowing if the picture they used is of that person or not. Someone could just use a picture of someone else and instead of their real picture. While I'm all for accountability; I just don't see it happening; in an open forum; that people are allowed to post items up for sale. Psy what about setting criteria, like your first 5 sales have to be $10 and below. This would establish how well the noob: ships, rates on condition, follows through on 5 transactions, and the truth of word to their sale. think of it as passing their first 30 or 90 days of new hire employement. At least 5 different boardies will have an encounter and experience with the noob. Plus i'm tired of seeing new accounts <10 posts selling $1000+ valued books as a joke. Who would monitor this? Someone or some technology would need to count up their sales threads and ensure that no offering is over a certain amount. Plus I have been here since 2007. In the sales sections, I am mainly a buyer but have run a few sales threads. Maybe 4 or 5 total over that time. Would someone like me then fall back under that mandate? Not trying to be difficult to your suggestion at all. Other than buyers doing their diligence, asking questions, and using some common sense; I don't know of a good way to curb scammers.

How can you verify it is their real name? I'm all for trying to prevent scams but post count, length of time on the boards and other ideas are not fool-proof in such an open forum as this.

A recurring theme Made me think of this one

I forgot all about that.

And here is his response to using other people's photos: "It would take me hours to pull out my buried slabs under countless boxes of books" Um, weren't you going to have to dig out the buried slabs if you actually intended to, you know, mail them to the buyers? Neely?

I like Norem covers, but don't you think Thor And Iron Man are jerks here? They carry one end of the Hulk and make Ant Man and Wasp carry the other end? Hulk is in a block of ice that's bigger than a refrigerator. What help would Antman and Wasp be anyway? DG Good point. All about perspective, I guess. Still a cool cover and I agree Norem hit some out of the park with his painted covers.

ComicLink charges a 3% fee when you pay with CC. I don't buy there a lot anymore because their site frustrates me with high prices, old items, and sales pending items. I would always send a check to avoid the fees and I think it poor business to pass the fee on to the customer. This is the way they state it - "All transactions are subject to a three percent (3%) Buyer’s Premium which is in addition to the purchase price, which premium may be rebated if the purchase price is paid on time and under certain payment terms, such as check, money order, or bank wire." Comic Connect doesn't add anything to CC payments and they have no BP.

Picked a nice slabbed copy of IH #197 from Michael. One of the easiest people to deal with and packs very well. Great communication and fast shipment. What more could you want.

Agreed. I love that cover. Enjoyed the run for the most part and almost all of the covers were great. Wasn't a big fan of #24 with the Lou Ferrigno likeness but it would be the book I would want him to sign if I ever wanted his sig.

I've said this before and I certainly don't mind a minimum post count but what stops a new member to go fill up with inane emoticons in the Post Count Are Important thread and/or just posting a grade in several PGMs. Someone could load 100 post counts quickly. Most scammers probably wouldn't take the time to do this I assume so minimum count could be somewhat effective. I'd prefer to see that someone has been a member for say 3 months before selling. Probably no real way to prevent a scam but buyers should do their diligence. Folks are these boards are the most knowledgeable I've ever seen and can sniff out a scam pretty quick.

Yep. Thanks Jimbo. Streak was some pooch.

Ok, so I'm watching Bizarre Foods and Andrew Zimmern is eating gator on a stick and I thought of you. I hadn't noticed before that Streak the Wonder Dog made a solo appearance on the cover of GL #38. Other than Rang-A-Tang of Blue Ribbon Comics - do you know of other "super" pets (excluding the funny animal genre) that were "pup-ular" enough to solo on a cover? And I guess I'll ask - have you tried gator on a stick? I've had alligator but not a stick. Your thoughts?

Two out of three created by Jack Kirby (well, with some help from Stan, that is… ). BTW tele, did you finish the National Comics run? Forgot to ask you? Hi Claudio - yes I did. I was only after the ones with Uncle Sam on the cover and managed to finish it although wouldn't mind a few upgrades. I also have the 8 issue run of Uncle Sam Quarterly.
