Years ago while at a local flea market I remember a dealer had a table set up with some long boxes of priced comics. A young black girl and her friend (who seemed utterly bored about being there) decided to pull a comic halfway up out of a long box. Upon seeing that the comic had a price of $8.00, she said aloud; "$8 dollars for a lousy comic book?" "I'll make my own!" and proceeded to BEND the comic 90 degrees in the middle as it was sticking out of the long box. Quickly once backwards then forwards and walked away. The dealer never saw it and I believe it was an Amazing Adventures Beast issue! Ouch!

Oh yeah it was, bent the board and bag!

What stunned me the most was just her attitude of "I consider it worthless so how dare you think to charge good money for this, I'll show you!" And this girl looked to be about 14-16 years old, old enough to know better.

Nuh-uh... must have been Namor, since it was Sue that was broken. He likes to play rough, methinks.

 

Thanks,

After trying too show and tell her.... My wife, who knows the value of some books. She still grabs them from the URC..... Drives me completly nuts. She see's me cringe in fear and say's "I Forgot". So she only gets too hold the slabbed ones. Yes she has dropped one.... A FF# 48 CGC 8.0 Let's just say I stand real close too her when she wants too take a look at a few book's. It still dosent register with her that these book's are excellent investments. She knows they are, jus confused-smiley-013.gift dosent get the "collecting" part of it. It has too be genetic. Her parents, who I like, wouldnt pay 50 cents for a AF #15 CGC 9.0 at a garage sale.... Ya it's genetics..........
