burntboy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Haven't seen Aces post in forever I started a thread asking about Aces a few weeks ago but nobody had heard from him. Burntboy is AWOL, too. I've been away from the boards for about 6 months now. Had to work on selling my house and was successful in selling it to an ex-pat living in Japan through the NY Post. Then preparing for the move took up a month or two of my life. Then the need to pretty up the new house in Pa has taken the last 3 months. (Including a 1200 square foot Man-Cave with my comic-themed office). This should finally be completed in time for my annual Final-Four party on 4/3/10. I expect to be reading and commenting regularly from time to time. I also owe a number of folks numerous copies of my Heritage Auction Brochures going back to 2005, and will be getting that done soon. Looks like nothing much has happened in the last 6 months, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolkiller Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 GoodyRickles (may have morphed into Fourth World) Lighthouse Lighthouse turned out to be a crook and left in shame. No mystery as to where he is. Oddly enough I got an email from him last week (hadn't heard from him in over a year). He sent 99.9% of his comic and TPBs to the soldiers in Iraq... something like 100,000 lbs of stuff. Living/working in San Diego now. Dude, it took 3 years to pay my friend back $10k. And only because we threatened legal action. Sorry, that's a criminal in my book. He also failed to send a bunch of stuff to a number of boardies here as well. Is he doing better now, according to you yes, but please don't try and tell me he didn't put my friend through the ringer and told lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie.

seanfingh Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Scheradon Good call. John is/was a really good dude. I got the impression that life got in the way of collecting and he had to sell off most or all of his books. He loved him some late Bronze Marvels . . .

VintageComics Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 AnfieldFox, always a great boardie from the UK... Anfield (Matt) was a dude and a half. Probably busy producing hip hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I was looking through some old posts today and noticed Showcase-4 name on one of the posts. Whatever happened to him? He hasn't posted since October of last year. If I remember correctly, he had some financial problems and sold off his collection. He was in the mortgage business (as were other board members), which didn't do so well lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, don't dude me dude; I'm the one that got him on the phone with you, and got him to make good with Bruce, and mailed out hundreds of books to fellow boardies, and issued thousands of dollars in refunds. It was not good, no way, no how. You can say crook and criminal all you want but I don't think the intent was ever there to intentionally defraud anyone. He just f'ked up really bad... several times.

VintageComics Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 UCLAPeter? The one thing I remember about Peter is that he was always complaining that he could never find a nice FF #10 without a printer's crease. I used to PM him once in a while as a joke to tell him I have one only to burst his bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue808 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 How about Comicgrinder? There was a really great fundraiser for him. Took the money and ran Dude, he's going through a world of mess right now. Funnybooks should be the last thing he gives a damn about. Well, some people here gave a damn about him. I'll see if I can get in touch with him and give a report on how he's doing. (thumbs u Thanks, James is a good guy in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never met someone before who could turn nothing into gold and then straight into as easily as he could. Had he been able to keep from flaking out he could have easily become a national-level BSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
