Arnold T. Blumberg book signing at GEM, December 2, 1-4pm

[ComicBookGuy]

In case it's overlooked in "Comic Events:"

 

If you're in the Baltimore area on Saturday, December 2 [TOMORROW!] from 1pm to 4pm, I'm signing copies of the Geppi's Entertainment Museum book, Pop Culture with Character as well as copies of The Big BIG LITTLE BOOK Book and...wait for it...the third edition of The Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide. This will be right at the museum at Camden Yards, downtown Baltimore, in historic Camden Station.

 

I should have read this earlier!!!

Suzy and I were figuring out what to do today, and we actually considered going up to the museum for the third time (would be my fourth). Of course, she suggested shopping.

It would have been great to attend this. My loss.

Again, I will say, the museum is AWESOME. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't been.

And I'll agree with Steve on this. How Arnold can put together this museum and get nothing but inane comments on his post really is sad. I say congratulations on your book, Arnold, and thanks again - for the millionth time - for your great work on the museum!!!

it is very disturbing that anyone could have anything negative to say about him, or his contribution to our hobby.

 

He has received "negative" (what a loaded word, I won't be using it) comments on various Boards precisely because of his contributions to our hobby (catch 22?). He was involved in some of the Hobby's more controversial ideas/decisions/publications and it's only logical that his posts would elicit further discussion/controversy/conflicting comments. (Regardless as to how one feels about Arnold personally, the person who took over his job at Overstreet will be in the same position, even if they're as nice as Arnold). Arnold's a smart guy, he knows that his works and posts inherently contain the risk of receiving unflattering responses. If he didn't have any guts, a thick skin, or a sense of humor I don't think he would be posting at all. To say we should never post anything contrary or unfavorable about certain aspects of his contribution to our hobby is naive, imho.

One Upmanship is ingrained in the nature of this hobby.

That's why it is slowly collapsing upon itself.

I love this forum, it has the most polite, respectful, mature posters of any forum I've ever been to.

 

You always make people feel welcome and a part of a thriving, friendly collecting community.

 

feel the love

 

Anything Arnold wants to do is cool with me

Steve, as long as you allow certain negative people to continue to post on the forums, you will continue to have this type of response. I have talked to you before about certain individuals and yet they are still here, recently causing trouble in the Marketplace threads.

 

OMFG!

I know, the irony!

This place is sometimes (okay A LOT) like a bad soap opera.

 

Or even better a bloody wreck on the side of the road and you just can't look away.
