It's a bit like a board version of Pokemon at this stage. Go back through all of the threads this year and try to spot them all. It's quite addictive. Far more than trains, as well.

Just wondering do people still collect comics? 6 months you say? Well a lot has happened. We had a guy from England get upset that his Back to the Future Promo was not listed as the 1st appearance of Back to the Future and started calling a lot of us "Whoppers" which ended up pretty "Conic" we also had this come up .which sparked debate. which also led to many other discussions. Eventually the same person decided to post this. Which after attempting to have his books graded lead to .. Which since almost every topic involving said person all have ended the same. So much so they started a topic about locks. Mean while .. @kav has been trying to collect Greggies all while several Greggy threads have appeared. Greggy has only while just continuing to dominate the TAT , This week in your collection, and Back from CGC threads. There have been a BIG up tick in nominations for PL and HOS including one who attempted to buy a slabbed book , crack it out and return just the broken slab, while keeping the book and trying to keep the money. Turns out the boards were all over this. And found out that which lead to the money being refunded and the seller made whole as well as the buyer being outed and added to the PL/HOS. Plus if you used your moderns for toilet paper, well you may have just SH!+ on some decent profit as turns out speculation is good for driving the prices on books WAY up.. kav, iggykoopa, 1950's war comics and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Ok. Ok.. round two.. So my comic shop got criticized for not allowing direct communication on ebay because a board member wanted to discuss some issues and a possible deal, while other members tried to tell him use their website as the price is already lower and they have good communication there, but he didn't really want anything more than to vent, and hope they would change their Ebay communication policy. All of this went on WAY longer than it really should have ending with.. Stephanie Hans didn't recognize her own Signature on a CGC SS book and the owner who only posted it on ebay with a $28k asking price came on here to rant about it. Turns out Stephanie signed up for the boards and came on here to not only respond to these posts, but turns out she is awesome. Also she even said if her Signature was worth that she would retire to the south of France. Florida Man is still doing Florida Man things.. CGC TAT have gotten to the point where it takes about 10 days just to be marked as recieved after the package arrives. This guy again? Guess they did say he was getting a sequel.. Well he decided to start a thread on the ethics of pressing. That got locked just like the rest. We have had some trying to figure out what the first US appearance of the Muppets in comics . ( no this image is not the resulting answer) Oh And @kav still trying to collect them all needs this cover edited to include him Plus turns out there are some fans of Superman with a Mullet. One Mullet to Rule the All! Meanwhile in Florida they cancelled the annual mullet toss. Nope .. not that kind. But back to comics. Speculators going to speculate. So Vigilante #1 got a boost as well as Archie Adventures of TMNT #1 also jumped. 1950's war comics and davidtere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
