recently purchased a very nice Bat's statue from Dave....What can I say that hasn't already been said??...Excellent communication. Easy to work with.... Truly an asset to the CGC boards. I will watch closely for future sales threads of Mr. Hulksdaddy.....

the flea market was "The 49er" .... near Tampa the guy has another one....newer but about 6 inches shorter. I couldn't fit them both in my car as I was on vacation.

my first decent flea market find.....$20 at a flea market in Florida

First purchase from Anthonyng and everything went silky smooth..thanks for working with me, I'm sure we'll do business again soon

Purchased a "Joker" #6 from Adrian....Could not be any happier with this deal. I placed a WTB thread for any high grade jokers back in April and he responded that he had a 9.6 #6 "somewhere" and would look for it and get back with me. The book wasn't where it was supposed to be but he said he knew he still had it. He locates it several months later and did not forget about me. Most guys would have blown it off but he got back with me to let me know he found it and the deal was immediately done. I really appreciate the fact that Adrian did not give up on the deal and his packaging is "BULLET PROOF" I will be watching his sales threads in the future.

Hello Boardies....tonight I'm as heart broken as I can be and I come to you guys with a situation I hope someone can help me with. I received one of my first statues today in the mail...picked it up on the way to work and had to sit through 12 hrs of work chomping at the bit waiting to come home and get to it. It is the Bowen "Mighty Thor STRIKE DOWN" version. I assembled the parts and placed it on the top of my display cabinet and yelled for the wife to come give me her opinon. She asked if it would fit on the second level and as I went to place it, the head came off and hit the floor....breaking the wing tip off his helmet. My heart stopped !!! Is there a replacement to be had out there? If so where do I begin? Any help would be appreciated.

Who is this Dre you speak of?

The Kudos thread, in my humble opinion, is a useful tools for those of us that buy and sell one these boards. It give folks a small insight into the type of person we are considering entering into a business agreement with. Therefore, again in my humble opinion, this is the best place I can think of to leave my impression of "HarveySwick" Being a noob that I am, I am hesitant to respond and open myself up to attacks by the more knowledgeable and experienced boardies. But I have yet to see HarveySwick slam a boardie or lambaste them just because he can. And here this past week he and ITSJUSTRYAN (another well respected board member organized and ran a charity drive that garnered close to $2,000 for a casual acquaintance that they had learned had fallen on hard times. He helped start, participated in, and finished this campaign with the help of Ryan and anonymously delivered the donations with no thought of personal glory or gain. I have yet to meet either of these gentlemen, but I look forward to a day when I may. Next to the brave men and women who defend our country and those that keep us safe here at home as well, this is what I think of when I use the term "hero". KUDOS MR SWICK !!!!!!!

Purchased a 9 book set from Patrick recently and it was one of the smoothest transactions for me to date. Very well packaged, arrived on time as promised. Patrick showed an aspect of professionalism that I, myself, would hope to strive for as seller (if I ever sold anything from my collection) I will be watching for the "pickycollector" name on any sales thread from now on.

Good luck kid

Thank you for your service to the Country BTW

I've been thinking about a #1 Cover tribute set....does any one have a list of all the Titles to look for?

Although I'm not completely finished reading this thread (112 pages into the 181 or so) I wanted to comment that this ....this is some funny stuff right here !!! I don't care who you are, you have to admit... this was good !!!

Hello everyone, my name is Gary...all my friends call me flip. I've been a CGC member for a couple years now and I have always enjoyed the boards, although I do admit that I have been intimidated by the wealth of knowledge some of you guys have on the topics of comic books and collecting. Like 90% of the folks on here I read comics as a child in the mid 70's. But I read "Uncle Scrooge" and "Scooby Doo" and "Richie Rich". I never really considered it collecting. I just had a large box of comics. As a matter of fact, when I went away to the Air Force in 88 my mother called me and said she was cleaning out closets and came across my box...A gentleman she worked with collected comics and was wondering if I minded if she gave them to him to which I readily agreed. Fast forward 20 years later, my son and I start watching "The Walking Dead" He tells me that it started out as a comic book and I suggest we compare the story lines. That was all it took. Now I'm working on my own comic book room...(his old bedroom) and we have the complete DEAD run in 9.8...I concentrate on Silver Surfer, The Joker, Batman, Superman, and Daredevil and a few select keys. I appreciate all the information y'all have provided to me and look forward to many more hours in front of the screen.

thanks for all the opinions....It was a book I've wanted for a while and I found a nice copy (all be it, incomplete) fairly cheap. Had it slabbed for display purposes and was just wondering everyone's opinions on a "green" labelled books. This is the only one I have.
