X-MEN 94 CGC 9.6

[drbanner]

Your credibility is shot, and for your own sake, keep-it-quiet about your NM Bronze Hulk run...

 

If only I had one...but since you brought it up - anyone have NM copies of Hulk 136, 137, 147, 152, 163, 176, 185, and/or 186 available?

Hi Tom. I never would have guessed what a nice guy you'd be!

 

How did you come across your comics?

 

Seriously, if this is really Tom Brulato, then add me to the long list of those who are completely appalled. I have never met you, Tom, but I had hoped that you would be a great statesman and ambassador for the hobby instead of just another trash-talking, chest-thumping, back-slapping wanker. Like there aren't enough high-grade collecting, inadequacy-compensating snobs out there already who are ruining the hobby for the rest of us.

 

Tom, if I had your collection, I would feel embarrassed if I couldn't control myself from stooping so low as to taunt other collectors about whether they own a "Rom #1" or making fun of Byrne X-Men collectors as not being worthy of notice.

 

And while we're at it, why don't you 'fess up - isn't that your mis-cut X-Men #94 CGC 9.6 "ejaenter"'s auctioning off anyway? It's the biggest non-secret in comics that you dump your under-copies through him.

 

By the way, like Joe_Collector, I couldn't give a toss about your goofy Silver Age kiddie books...I collect what I like.

Now let me get this straight, you not only collect Bronze Hulks, but you don't already own a set in CGC 9.8?

 

I see your credibility rating continuing to drop.

Actually, I find it quite humorous that a grown man would think that comic books determine your credibility in the real world.

I don't collect numbers Joe, I collect comics!

where is bad bob? he's usually in these BSD posts.

Stop crying about the cut of the book or the centering and let the CGC do the job. That is why we have universal grading. Understand? That is a killer book plain and simple.

 

 

Well......I'm convinced.

 

 

[joe_collector]

Well......I'm convinced.

 

Me too, I'm selling all my perfectly-centered copies and buying books with as bizarre an angle possible. If I get a headache looking at the cut, I'll know the book's for me!!

 

The MORE WHITE THE BETTER, I say!!

Plenty, but I'm not going to rehash over a year and a half worth of posts to impress you.

Be serious w/ your answer now sonny boy.

[deathlok]

Does anyone of a photo of Tom? I have never met him, and would be curious to know who we are talking about. Although from the tone of his posts I don't think I want to meet him.

Thanks Supa, nice buzz kill.

 

What's really freaking me out is the "friendly banter" that JC and Doc are having.

 

I guess it just takes one GIANT as.shole to bring us all together. GROUP HUG!!

i don't know what's more sad....

 

- that some guy is impersonating Tom Brulato and making him look like a complete [#@$%$]

 

OR

 

- that Tom Brulato, who could otherwise be a much-needed ambassador for the comic world really IS a complete [#@$%$]
