bc Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Since the vast majority of my meager post count has happened in this thread, I feel like I should let you know that I’ve been cheating on you… Wait, don’t throw that, let me explain…no it wasn’t with your sister… Yeah, I was drunk - me, Billy & Jeff had a great night out and I must have come home and logged into eBay. I have no memory of it, but I bought a Marvel Mystery Comics 28 in CGC 6.0. Didn’t know it for 2 days until I logged into my email account and saw the invoice. Once I saw the time of the purchase, I put 2 and 2 together and realized it was a classic drunken purchase. Yes, I could have sent it back with some lame excuse about you not letting me buy it, but once I got it, I sorta liked it. It was almost like a PHM cover on steroids-so many colors and actions compared to the fairly minimalist art of the PHM era. No, you’re not fat… I hid it in the back of the short box for a while hoping you wouldn’t see it. When you went out, I would glance at the Timely auctions on Clink or CC. Then erase my browser history… Every now and then, when there was no PHM book I wanted in the auction, I bought a Timely, Schomburg, Human Torch on the cover book (preferably a pre-WWII book)… You didn’t see them ‘cause I shipped them to the office…. No, I didn’t have anything else shipped to the office and you’re sister wasn’t involved…. Well, the affair has been going on for the last 3 years… Wait, don’t throw that either…. Anyway, in the last big Clink auction I picked up the Human Torch Comics #2/#1 to complete my mini-run : Wait , what?? You want a divorce????? Think about little Googam and Titano…. Yes, I sought help in the GA forums and they enrolled me in their 12 step program. With some further counseling, I think I can control this… No, your sister isn’t on the GA forums either…. I’m sorry, I know you deserve better – just can’t go on like this anymore. I know, it’s the couch for me tonight…. -bc Edited March 17, 2017 by bc @#$% picture posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Picked this TOS #11 up in Dallas, and finally have a run copy I am happy with (though the raw I sold bc is probably about this nice). I think it says something about the wasteland these new boards have become that this thread has gone so long without any action. I know I am here a whole lot less now. elibowman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yes, things really have been Sporratic! Sorry about that. It is certainly slower here. I will probably post more now that I've finally figured out how to sign in on something other than my desktop! FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
