  1. I'm still trying to figure out what Happy Metal sounds like.
  2. Thanks for the advice. I have a red button on my boxes that will pop up all the upgrades for this type of buyer. By all means come back and tell me how much money you made and how you chewed me down on the buy.
  3. Had to do with booth placement I believe. Bill can always add more since there is probably a lot more to the story.
  4. Oh, so you are one of those slab-o-maniacs Richie talks about.
  5. Well I'm from New York. Wasn't aware that I might be classified as a NY prototype motormouth. Welcome to the boards and Y'all have a great day.
  6. Mike during the 50 shades of gray phase. I just go through the 50 shades of bald.
  7. The infamous Michael Carbonaro. 60 shades of black, the Joker, the tongue, Foo Man Choo when he puts on his glasses, Flying High again back in the 70's.
  8. Sorry, I'm sure those sales would have ignited a wildfire in the Jimmy Olsen market.
  9. How many fashion disasters can we count in this photo?
  10. Book was not consignment, I owned it. Book has been paid for, it is sold. Just like my other sales it won't be reported to GPA.
  11. GI combat #88 VF+ and a #91 VF/NM 9.0 (highest graded copy).
  12. Got a CGC 3.0 and 6.0 grade on two rawhide #17's I sent in today.
  13. But I won't win the playstation 4 that they always promise is in one of boxes
  14. I want the guy who bought the mystery box t-shirt and is a x-large to take a picture wearing the size small he won.
  15. After lawyers fees you will get a $25 check,
  16. Foxhole #2 is being graded. Had a weird defect on the back that I wanted to make sure wasn't restoration so I sent it in.
  17. Open a auction house or a grading company and stick you palm out. Post on social media how much you love grading books all the while cashing those checks. Talk in private at dinners at shows about the amount of garbage that gets sent in for grading or if you have to grade another NM #98 you may kill yourself all the while you are cashing those checks. Try to think up another creative story on why AS #14 is so awesome all the while this is the 1000th copy you have auctioned
  18. Toll collectors which is all the Auctions houses and grading companies are make money whether you do or not. The comic book has become a ticket with how many times it can be hole punched and money taken out. 1). Press it 2). Grade it 3). Sell it Crack it 4). Press it again 5). Grade it again 6). Sell it again Depending on grading company grading standards at the time you can run it between the grading companies for the "best" grade Crack it again 7). Press it again 8). Grade it again 9). Sell it again I might be conservative in that a book has the potential for 9+ money making events.
  19. I agree and unfortunately all you see on the auction house front pages are the "winners". How about the "Losers" page? You think Doug is loving the Heritage results? How come GPA doesn't report the venue because god forbid you see where that GPA low got set.
