Who here is a member/former member of the CPG chat?

Hey Brother J - I didn't make the connection until now. I remember you being one of the early members. Which member is it that is against 3rd-party grading? To be honest, it does not surprise me one bit as I've met quite a few UG collectors who had no time for it.

 

 

Yes, you're definitely right about a lot of UG collectors being against slabbing. Howard was posting his slabbed copies from the Haight-Ashbury collection on Facebook, and it seemed the most frequent comment was something along the lines of "How can you read them in that plastic?". I guess reading a later printing or reader copy of the same book never occured to them. The collector who is so against it is Zonker from the ugcomix.info site. I appreciate all the information he hosts at his site, but the anti-grading/slabbing thing that comes up almost every time he posts gets to be a bit much.

 

Oh yes. It's all coming back to me now. There is a Zonker here that I confused to be the same person who runs ugcomix.info many years ago. I realized though that they have completely different collecting interests. A lot of the "old school" collectors don't see any need for it.

I still post over there from time to time as oldmilwaukee6er. There are more underground comix specific threads over there but I find the threads here more rewarding. I also posted on StL back in the day.

I was, but am no longer active.

 

Screw that joint.

Not active, huh. So that means around 50 posts a day?

[slym2none]

As in, I hadn't posted there in a good two years, went back for a handful of posts, and haven't been back since.
