Yup. Give me some quotes from OSPG that show dealer's market reports urging people to invest in new comics

 

Will do. I should have some juicy ones online tomorrow morning.

 

And nice try on the "disclaimers", but your comments concerned OS advisors predicting a crash and therefore not promoting crashable material (like Valiants, 1980's Independents), and I have plenty of quotes that disagree with that assertion 110%.

 

Trust me Bubba, you be STUPID! 27_laughing.gif

Don't have any of the OSPGs from back then. I left the hobby in 1993/94, just as the last Great Crash was beginning. confused-smiley-013.gifflowerred.gif

I have actually been wondering why people left the hobby at that point. I did, and it was because I felt I could not keep up with all the new comics that had Spider-man in it. Also, why did you come back?

Thanks.

the tough questions that need to be asked? confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Should I bring $100 in ones?

 

Man, if I knew the tough questions were going to go down while we fed the "wait staff" singles, I might've had to use some FF miles!! 27_laughing.gif

This post of yours only goes to prove you have the reading comprehension of a two year old. My earlier post stated, "I don't have an OSPG from the early 1990s, but I am pretty confident there weren't dealers suggesting you should invest in modern books over Bronze, Silver, and Golden Age back issues. sumo.gif" No "disclimers." That is what I said and that is what you have to prove insufficiently_thoughtful_person. Don't try in back out now that you inserted your foot in you mouth STUPID.

You really can't be this stupid, can you?

 

Why do you keep asking when you already know the answer? confused.gif

I left when I did because the books sucked and I was going to law school. I couldn't afford to continue buying new issues and I wasn't really interested in them anyway. It was really easy to quit. I sold my mostly VG-VF silver age collection, a good chunk of my Amazing Spider-Man run, and all the moderns that I had accumulated for a song, figuring that I'd be able to buy it all back (especially the silver age stuff in higher grade) when I finished law school. I'm still in the process of doing that.

 

I missed it after a year or so, and picked up a copy of Green Goblin #1. Reading that POS cured me of my longing.

 

Finally, in 2001 or so, I started looking on ebay at silver age Spideys when I heard more about the Spider-Man movie coming out. I picked up a CGC VF 8.0 ASM #20 just to check out what the CGC slabs were like, since I knew very little about the company. It gradually built up until I started reading new issues again, which I began doing in earnest last summer, first through TPBs, then through monthly comics.

Good question, and I can't decide whether Marvelous is a Bug shill, or we've found the missing link between ape and man.

 

... or maybe both? foreheadslap.gif

Meanwhile, across town in his luxury basement apartment, a bifocal-clad Joe_Collector worked long into the night in pursuit of further evidence of the stunningly obvious.

Because stupid people ask stupid questions.

27_laughing.gif Well, he's not Bug... Bug's not THIS stupid... and frankly, I hope no apes read your post as they are very likely to be deeply offended.
