OK, so what's YOUR shocking confession about your collection?

[maloney414]

This is a true story, not a joke.

 

I once bought a comic that had 2 backing boards in the bag.

 

Why did it have 2 backing boards you ask?

 

Why would you care?

 

Because there was a DVD inbetween them. The DVD was in one of those thin paper DVD holders....

 

Yup, it was PORN.

 

Clever way to hide the porn collection.

I have never lied, or cheated or done anything remotely dishonest when either buying or selling comic books.

Back in the mid 80s, I was at a comic shop in central London run by Paul Hudson called Comic Showcase. Paul had just come back from America with a whole bunch of books, and showed me two that were available. They were two copies of Green Lantern 76.

 

One of the copies was an easy NM, probably NM+ copy with bone white pages that had obviously never been read. The other copy was about Fine. He wanted £20 for the NM copy, and £10 for the FN one.

 

I had little money in those days to spend on comics, so I opted for the FN copy. Which I still have.

That's what you get for spending all of your pocket money on Wham records.

I bought three Alpha Flights from a dealer. The Dealer came back to me and said he didn't have one of Alpha Flights that I had purchased and asked if I could use a #8 instead. I confirmed I needed that one and he said it was $15 more, but he didn't know why and was I willing to pay that. I said sure because I was having a hard time finding high grade copies. When I received the slabs and was entering them on my set, I noticed the points for the #8 were higher and looked at the label to see that it indeed was a 9.9 and ended up being the ONLY 9.9 copy of the entire first arc of Alpha Flight graded to date. I never told the dealer why his #8 was listed as $15 higher.

When I was 7 or 8 (1970) I was looking at my older brothers comic book collection when he was'nt around,and I started tearing some of them up.One of the books was an AF 15 that I ripped to shreads,man my brother was pretty upset.Not my collection but something that I was involved in.
