Definitely his book, I remember his post when he first showed it off. As to why Dreamtoreal1 was ripping off pics and claiming them as his own -- just an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. And not a particularly bright one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that pm's weren't being answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as though the books are safely still in Nerv's hands, though it's pretty laughable/jerkish of a relative newbie to steal scans and claim books as their own. Especially ones with very distinguishing wear patterns and markings. Suggestion to dreamtoreal1, stick to stealing scans of '80s and '90s material, it'll be harder to see through your fraud.

But along your train of thought, Jayman, I could read it as Nerv implying his books were stolen, which, if is the case, speaks of a much stinkier kettle of fish. Let's hope the only thing stolen was old pics/scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who took them and the silence on the part of the poster who brazenly posted them as recent acquisitions when I asked who sold them to him tells me he is aware they are stolen books. FYI, the scan of the Venus #18 is from comic link where I purchased it. The photo of the book is not mine. Edited July 8, 2017 by N e r V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N e r V Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 We'll see. I thought everyone should be aware of the situation on the boards though. The person I suspect of stealing them is not a comic collector but someone looking for a fast buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamtoreal1, possessing stolen property isn't the best situation to find yourself in. Best remedy it, and quickly. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrocomics Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 That really stinks. I just thought they were using your scans to be cool posting nice books. To have them stolen shoots this to another stratosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope for a quick resolution to this since you know who the culprit is. @Dreamtoreal1 You need to do the right thing here and communicate with Nerv about these books. Come on man!

I'm thinking I'm probably not the only one he's been contacting, but Dreamtoreal1 sent me a few pms asking about books. He included some info including his phone number, a picture and his zip code. I'm going to use one of the really neat new features here and add you to the conversation which I was just able to find by using another new thing that works in pms, the search thing. I quoted his info so it can't be changed. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
