Why I'm not bidding on any items in the Heritage FEB Auction

[agro23]

I'm still bidding on one Billy book.

 

But for the most part I couldn't afford any of the others anyway. I merely hear thunder while the giants are at play in the sky.

When I first joined CGC, the rule was dust shadows = 7.0 TOPs.

Today the bar is set at 8.5

 

 

Not sure where you heard that rule. Lots of books including Church copies have been sitting in 9.4+ holders, dust shadows and all, since the advent of CGC.

 

+ about a billion

Why I'm not bidding on the Heritiage FEB Auction:

Eye appeal and presentation is a good point, especially when up against the technical CGC grades.

 

Too many books being showcased of late just look plain fugly to me... :shrug:

I'm glad you brought this up because I for one thought we would never see double digit interest rates again in our lifetime, simply because the economy, North American real estate markets could not sustain it. There would be a collapse that would make the 2008 crisis look like a picnic.

 

However, looking at the rate of which debt is growing year after year you have to wonder if there is a point [some day soon] where the US dollar is going to take a serious nose dive.

If you are lucky enough to be one of the Omega Men, then you can trade your precious GA collection amongst yourselves from your fortified bunkers.

The GA section used to be a refuge from all the BS of the outside world (and Comics General).

I thought you didn't have to pay the CA sales tax when the invoice is over $1,500. Maybe I'm in for a surprise.

2. I'm becoming more convenience that the U. S. Dollar is going to collapse with each new policy that the FEDs are implementing.

I'm becoming more convenience too. I eat a lot of snack cakes, potato chips and sports drinks.

You make a convincing argument.

I'm not trying to take a political position. I'm simple expressing reasons why I'm not participating in this auction.

Besides, having to endure MM here is already more than some of us can bear...

The Obama Administration is making Reagan look like a left wing radical.

 

How--pray tell--is that not taking a political position?

It's ok. Fox News does this all the time, and calls it [balanced and fair] "news".

I have Fox News on channel block.

 

With regards to my previous statement, I don't care about being PC.
