  1. . Thanks for that. I'm newer around here and to collecting. I don't keep up on everything and I'm not just worried about flipping books. I see a lot of condescending attitudes toward people that don't know everything about comics on these boards. I'm learning the ropes in all aspects of it, but don't need to be talked down to because someone has collected longer, has more $, or is just plain rude. I love this stuff! I am also a big fan of The Woods!!! You'll get that a lot on these boards. Quite a few 10k+ posters with chips on their shoulder. Not good for the site imo. The average collector is looked down on in quite a few subforums..
  2. I'll just leave this here.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Adventures-1992-1st-Series-12-CGC-9-8-1263156007-/311458170428?hash=item48845a863c:g:hN0AAOSwU~FWEGJ-
  3. "Considering the book was listed as NM in your sales thread and obviously isn't, why would the last line of your returns policy be relevant here? You sold an overgraded book and the buyer was unhappy - issue a refund, eat the return shipping and move on." If that's not support I don't know what is. Classic case of overgrading. Man up. Issue the refund. Case closed. GL mytastebud
  4. I thought they were going to start charging when received? Mine was charge two days after being received... Hmmm might be time to give them a call..
  5. Wait, previews can be first appearances? If the story is original, yes. If not, no. The nature of a "preview" almost universally means that it's material intended to be printed elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that the Damage Control preview in Marvel Age Annual #4 is not excerpts from the book, but it's been a while since I read it. I do remember that the Wolverine preview is sort of a recap of what had been happening with the character in X-Men, so it's not exactly a story, although the art is original. A good example of a legit first appearance in a preview is Lazarus. I just read the story in Marvel Age Annual #4. It's a 4 page, original story that predates Damage Control's other appearances. Even at only 4 pages, it's actually a frame story - the first page has a guy from Damage Control approaching the Joe Fixit version of Hulk and handing him a brochure about Damage Control. Pages 2-3 are basically an ad for Damage Control (which Hulk is reading) explaining what the series is. And page 4 is Hulk kicking the guy's butt and tossing him out of the casino. So it is an original story, not an excerpt of a later published issue. It's not much of a first appearance - in terms of these sorts of things, it's not as strong as something like Rat Queens in Image What's Next - but I think it is their first appearance. Erm, we're talking Damage Control, right? Who cares? Even if this show gets picked, and even if it does better than Walking dead (Sorry, I have to be my eccentric self here, bear with me), its still a series about a unit reconstructing demolished areas. How will this ever generate cult following status?? People just get into the habit of "investing" in "optioned" books without even thinking of the book's context. This is a fun series, a brilliant concept and Im glad it got picked. But come on now.. When it comes to Hollywood I think the "yeah, we can do it but should we?" Question got thrown out the window a long time ago.
  6. Modern Slow Track (57 books) Received 7/23 - Still haven't been billed
  7. If its who I'm thinkin hes had that conspiracy theory for 10 years now
  8. I've seen $1000 books go for $500 and $500 go for $1000. That site makes no sense. You get two stubborn buyers get ready to watch the fireworks.

  10. Bought a few raw books from Cheesefrog. Well packaged and in solid shape. Wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase in the future. Thanks!
  11. As you noted, we're doing all we can to make sure people are aware of the book and to give it a shot. #1 is free on Comixology and #2-6 got a strong price reduction digitally. More to come with that. We're leading the horse to water... they were all sold in my area... and not all by me ... so its got some traction in colorado =) My shop doesn't get any extras but there are now 5 people including myself that have Enormous on their pull list. Not bad for a little shop in nowhere Iowa..
  12. Gucci mane is getting out of jail soon! Watch what you say! I heard he had a great time in there..
  13. This one looks interesting.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161787750066?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  14. Been looking at budget scanners ($100 or less). Are there any models one can recommend for cgc scans? I'm running windows 10.
  15. Bought a book from me and paid lightning fast. Was a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Roger again. Thanks Bigs
