Please, Heritage needs you NOW! unless....

[JLA_ALL_THE_WAY]

Anybody else get this email:

 

If there has ever been a time to consider selling your comic book, memorabilia, original art, or movie poster collection, this is it!

 

Ok, first they're trying to get you to part with your treasures. Why? Because they're running out of quality merch! Won't you please help.

 

But wait! Further down comes...

 

Don't delay - space is limited and the sale is filling up fast; in fact, we may even have to begin turning away items under $5,000...

 

So if you have a lousy HG Silver Book that's worth less than 5K, don't waste their time. If they can't make at least $1000 off of you (20%), please don't bother them.

 

 

Doncha just luv it.

I got that email and thought the exact same things. Too funny.

It was easer for me to filter their mail to the trash then to have them remove me from their mailing list. It's good to see I'm not missing anything.

You think the email is bad, how about that stupid-ask mailing a couple of weeks ago. Apparently, we're all lemmings who will not be able to pass up the opportunity to sell our collections so we can be in the same as cultural giants (or some such term) like Stan Lee and Nick Cage, who consigned there collections. In a hobby rife with sleazy dealers, I found this perhaps the most insulting approach I've seen so far.

Yea, wouldn't it be cool to have your name muttered in the same breath as other "Celebrity Sellers"!

 

Wait'll I tell tell my chums! Wow, my wannabee dreams come to life!

 

Think I'll call my collection the "Get a Life" Pedigree.

Yo....you fill out their survey? Mine went straight to the shredder!

 

BTW....why do I have to consign books to them to be near the celebrities at San Diego? I just have to show up there!

"thought the exact same things."

 

 

I'm on the same wavelength as Bug?

 

I'm scared. Someone hold me. Not you, greggy!

Not you, greggy!

 

OK, I can wait until the middle of July!

[PovertyRow]

I got it too. Read it. Deleted it. Thought - well - to be honest didn't think ANYTHING except that the Heritage Auctions are a great resource for cover images! (and they are, too!)

Exactly WHICH one of my posts gave you guys the impression that I was weird?

 

That pic was over the top.

I think the operative question is which of your posts gave us the impression you were NOT weird!

SCANNERS! Cool! Now that was a movie. Go get 'em Michael Ironsides.

 

Thanx for the visual byte, Bug. I'll sleep good t'night.
