  You do not seem happy with comic collecting. 

That’s British-level understatement.

The intense hyperanxiety is concerning.

Maybe he should take up origami or kirigami.

I am assigning a greater than zero probability that someday Heritage will auction his scissors.

I have that in Lego modular city.  Avengers Tower was a beast.  Sanctum Santorum felt unfinished on the inside. 

X-Men Mansion comes out in two months. (Ahem... Rumor) - last time I posted images and things like that I got a cease and desist from Lego

This is the first lego item I've bought since my kids were little, when I used to buy items and take hours putting them together for them, I was aghast at how intricate lego had gotten since I was a kid.

I bought the Daily Bugle purely for investment. No idea whether it will escalate over time or not, I just took a punt. It's still sealed in its rather large box for over three years now. I think it will at least always hold its value (I hope) but in any rate the box is pretty.

I think it was more sardonic humour, which I like.

I think @Buzzetta is talking about circulating images of stuff not yet "officially" announced as coming out.

You do not need to be so aggressive, anyway as I said in the other thread I will take my distance of these forums and only stay on contact with few relation in PM. 

Today was the last day you see me posting trough the forums. 

Yes I know what they are gonna saying... see you tommorow   

NO, 0 chance, i leave.

Jeremy

Stick around, Jeremy. Don't worry about saying you've left, or what others might say if you start posting again. You don't have to stick to it. Just as in real life, we all say things in the heat of the moment which we don't mean. If anyone says anything about it, just tell them you changed your mind!

You're quite young for a collector, Jeremy, and you've been honest about your difficulties. You also have the language barrier to contend with and yet you've stuck it out. I like that - the fact that you've stuck it out. You said you have no friends in one of your earlier posts. Well, welcome to the club mate. It's probably why half of us are here each day, if we're honest. This is where we can interact with the world, and discuss those comics that we love. And on that, don't let anyone tell you what to do with your own comics. Sure, if you cut up the only surviving copy of a Charlton price variant even I will disown you, but most of these comics are in plentiful supply. Do what you like with them. They're yours and you paid for them. And remember, CGC themselves offer a service to gouge undesired pieces of comics and ink away, just to make a buck. You do it to satisfy your own mental state so don't let anyone lecture you on that. If you're happy, stuff 'em.

I don't detect any malice in you, Jeremy. Being kind is a strength. If people don't like what you do, they can just skip over it. If they see a need to belittle you however, then they're probably not the kind of people you'll want anything to do with anyway, so ignore them would be my advice. The only person who can tell you what to do here is the moderator.

Stick around, and have fun with those here who are happy to read your posts and discuss them kindly.

At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon-yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

 

Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

 

Jeremy spoke in class today

Perfectly stated! 

Even though I personally believe we should be responsible caretakers for our cultural/historical artifacts (and Mother Earth, in general), I completely agree with the quoted sentiment -- except when it comes to selling trimmed material without adequate disclosure, as the OP attempted to do here and then here.

Sad to see someone so tortured, basically.  I’d want my involvement with comics to be distancing and relief from the stresses of the outside world, not constantly additive to them.

And Jeremy, I agree with Shad that you can do what you want to your books.  But please give some thought as to why you would intentionally damage a book and then start a thread to show that damage.

He's trying.

Despite people jumping all over him.

Yes, I saw that.

He’s a fellow Aspie.

That’s why I can see some concerning similarities in behaviour.

I’m just very good at masking, in comparison. And on a lot of medication.

Yes, it stemmed from a DMCA violation for posting images of the Lego Falcon before the Solo movie came out and the toys were revealed.   Now I keep that stuff to myself and let others post it.

I guess I just haven't been paying attention. 

Does this guy purposefully destroy comics to get a rise out of people?

Definitely not paying attention. 

He has a "purpose", and getting a rise out of people ain't it.

I think he does it because there are defect that gets on his nerves and then he does something to correct the defect.  He damaged multiple books trying to make the book look better, and then just gave up and started removing covers from books since there were fewer defects.  It's really a sad situation, but those are his books and he can do what he wants with them.  I don't think he is trying to get a rise out of people, but as soon as there is some criticism he flips out.
