What on this good earth is a "pencillier"?

[Tony S]

This thread is a hilarious read.....

I do not have feelings one way or another about signings and TAT.  If CGC had been attending all the big conventions like they have in years past then they would have even MORE books. Because they literally used to come back from a major con with truckloads of books.  And as others have mentioned, some of these creators need the $$. They didn't get rich writing or drawing comic books.

This refers to the old sellers of pence copies who used to travel post-Victorian England offering their wares. "Mother, look - it's the Pencillier! May I have a florin with which to make a first printing price variant purchase?"

That's my first thought every time I see CGC throwing out "legendary".  Seems like CGC is using "legendary" as much as collectors use "grail".

Okay, I am not the only one who thought that too.  Except I was "who the ______ is this guy!"

I've come to accept that fact that without in house signings on the regular , the TAT's would still be high because of the same amount of books that are coming. in. I tend to roll my eys when i see a new one bit i was overjoyed when we finally got Jim lee!!! I had to send it in for his.
