Wow, two threads about my interview.

 

I was referred to this website by a very good friend of mine. When I heard the number of unique users I thought it would be a good idea to see if I could tap into a new audience. I have to admit I am not a podcast guy but after meeting these guys I was very interested in their site.

 

I agree that not everybody is a high grade collector and frankly we can come across as perfectionists, anal retentive and somewhat difficult to deal with. It was fun to go back and explain how I started, what I've bought and sold. I'm not really sure they would have known my sense of humor if I did a "Bad Bob" interview. Now that would have been funny. Somehow for those who know me I'm probably exactly where I belong in the comic book universe.

 

You never know where that next great customer can come from. I've met a lot of them on the boards, at little shows and who knows who I will meet from that site.

Bob,

 

Nice interview!

 

I didn't know you attended HeroesCon...when? And exactly what kind of crowd does that venue attract? hm

 

I was surprised at the amount of general CGC questions they had...at one point I could almost hear Bad Bob say "Get CGC's arse in here if that's the focus of this interview!" lol

 

When I'm done with my horror collection and want to buy ubber hg keys, you will be my man. :foryou:

great episode. but it's interesting how those guys from Comic Geek Speak must eat, sleep and breathe comics but seem to know so little about the back issue market.

 

That's why I quit downloading it. I will read, watch, or listen to almost anything comic related, but their interests were completely different than mine. Specifically their distaste for older back issues, which is my passion. I think the episode that did it was when they were discussing how they hated Golden Age comics, and one guy said he cringes every time he sees a Golden Age cover with the big, bold lettering and the bright colors. That podcast was dead to me after that.
