  1. Plus all the creator info. I highly doubt Peter David wrote that one.
  2. Tom Foolery that takes away from the subject of the thread topic is a staple of this entire forum.
  3. The fold out inserts? They are the weight and feel of Bronze comic covers.
  4. I get that, but we've never heard anything about anything on how they do things and they've obviously had a lot of people leave. Not one person has said boo about Ewart, the invisible books or the Clayton Crain garbage. They've had the same employees in all departments this entire time? I'm not saying that there's a conspiracy, but the lack of ONE person talking to anyone about their former employer and what's gone on there (positive or negative) is strange.
  5. ...which if you're talking about anything these days you've lost that bet before you entered the building. Lol.
  6. ...but no one really knows what that process is. Matt himself could be walking a particular book through the process if he so chooses...we don't know. Given the last big scandal, an employee could have printed a 9.9 label and put it on a supposed 9.8, right? I mean, you'd hate to assume that, but the probability of that happening isn't 0.0%
  7. Oh, my bad. Didn't know you were talking exclusively about IMAX. Those are $16 here, last I knew.
  8. What I don't understand is not coming up with some horrid monster to fight. Oh, it's another gorilla. Wheeeeeeee...
  9. How would it slice the top & bottom parts?
  10. No comics today, but a cool local pickup nonetheless. Sports Illustrated #1-6 plus the one-year anniversary issue. Both #1 and #2 have the baseball card pullout inserts intact. Very happy to grab these though it was a bit of a drive through heavy traffic.
  11. Never, but I've done 100 orders in under 5 hours this year, not under any kind of time crunch. If I was pressed for time I'm sure I could do 150 in 4 hours. It's just the process I use is fast and I've done it for years now, repeatedly, dozens of times a week (at least). This is talking about just single comics or single carded action figures...nothing involved. That is what we were discussing, right? Just want to make sure.
  12. Printing a label from eBay is like 5 seconds assuming you have your listing set up correctly (10oz package weight, 13"x9"x2" package size). It takes less than 30 seconds to package a comic in a Gemini mailer, and maybe 30 seconds more if you're taping the book in-between a cardboard sandwich. Maybe. if the book is more expensive I'll take an extra minute due to the thickness of the cardboard sandwich, but that's just my OCD in wanting it to show up the way it was sent. 3-5 minutes a package? That's slow unless you're packing up larger toys and many comics in the same package, but then again it takes me less than a minute to pack up a single packaged action figure. It's not difficult to do it quickly and safely.
  13. "You...didn't kill...Anakin Skywalker... ...*I* did." I love love LOVE that scene. It's classic Star Wars to me.
  14. With comics, that's not a lot of time at all. 3-4 hours, maybe? If that.
  15. Picked up this little gem last week and wasn't sure where to share it but I think everyone in this thread will appreciate. 😊
  16. The Force Awakens only did this part of your philosophy and it made out like gangbusters.
  17. Why not a blue label with notation above the serial number in bold that says "JSA Authenticaed Signature?"
