Sqeggs Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Maybe being on a new page will cause the image to display correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Nope. How about if I invert them and then post them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Oh well, here are a few more (best viewed by boardies in Australia ). Really love the Calvin and Hobbes OA. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Well two out of five are right side up! Board randomness, I guess. I'll stop here. My conclusion is that if you are interested primarily in comics rather than pop culture generally, particularly if you're interested mostly in GA, NYCC is probably not worth attending at this point. Sad to say but a conclusion that other collectors (and dealers) already arrived at some years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs, it's been the case for as long as I can remember that the board does not recognise when you invert an upside photo in windows. So your upside down photo here... ....if I save it to my PC and then turn it up the right way by right clicking and selecting 'Rotate Right' twice in Windows File Explorer.... ...it still posts as upside down even though it is now right side up on your PC: What you have to do is edit the image using, say, 'Rotate' in the photos program: Once saved, you will find that it then posts the right way up on the boards: All good fun (and nice pics by the way) MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I did have a headache after I was done. All kidding aside, thank you for the report and the pictures.

Hopefully you had a good time and came away with some things for your collection. I did and I also invoked your name with Matt Nelson. We had been going around about whether the NN books were actually Cookevilles or whether only the SN books were. I said, "Well according to waclark on the CGC boards ...." He blanched, gasped, and said "Well in that case, it must be true!" Actually, he does now agree that NN books were legit Cookeville copies and CGC will put them in ped slabs going forward. He said he's carefully reading through board threads on pedigrees as he gears up to finish the ped book. Ricksneatstuff and walclark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Just looking at GPA, the $18K for the 6.5 probably inspired his ask. Of course, the 6.5 was fourth highest graded, while a 4.5 is well back in the pack. Still, it's become a pretty tough book and this is a decent looking copy for the grade.
