Joanna Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I love it when a seller gives you all the information, but spins it in such a way as to make it seem better. Heck, we all do what we can to make the books desirable, and as long as all the info is there, what's the harm? Here's one I found today that I liked: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=723975011 My favorite part (other than the title where he gives book value in NM) "The grade of this book (sans water stain) is FN (6.0)!" Wonder what the grade would be without any of the flaws? Why stop at one? And just to confuse things, use a little French in case some people think 'sans' means 'with'. -- Joanna Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Rich Conley knows a heckuva lot about comics, but his lackeys are woefully ignorant when it comes to back issues. His Heroes and Fantasies chain is one of many 'collectible convenience stores' where they hope you trip on something brightly colored and buy it. One bright spot about dealing with Rich is he will buy darn near any pre-1970 comic with fish on the cover, and any Fawcett book with dogs on the cover...

aardvark88 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I admire ppl who collect by theme like pets, chess, baseball, sports, communism, atomic covers. Rickdogg's fave gay covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdogg Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 lmao! I would buy it if it wasn't so expensive. TRULY A CORNERSTONE BOOK TO BUILD YOUR COLLECTION AROUND! HAHAHAHAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 rick, you're in luck! That auction has ended, but the reason I was looking was because I have one to sell! Now you can have that cornerstone you've been craving since time immemorable. Mystery in Space 87 can be yours right now! Act fast because everyone's going to want it! -- Joanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdogg Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 oops... I was referring to the Gay Comics #1 CGC 7.0 since Odin claims that I like "Gay" comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 oops, my bad, Rick. Guess someone else is going to get a chance at the MiS 87. I don't have any Gay comics (Darth, be still) to help you out there, Rick. I do have some Roberta Gregory Naughty Bits comics, though. Would that ease your pain? -- Joanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 See personally I collect cat-fight covers from pre-code romance books, horror books with monkeys on the cover, and any flyfishing covers. I used to collect Hitler covers but I had so many customers for them I let loose with my own books and stuck to collecting things few other people wanted.

lighthouse Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Well gee Joanna... if you need some Gay Comics I just picked up a nice run, including the great #24 with the Maxx crossover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdogg Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 About the naughty comics, give greggy a PM on those. He's a perv like that hahaha. Have you spoken to John Byrne? Ooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 I think Greggy has an undeserved reputation and will assume that he really just collects comics with nuns on the cover. John sent me a Halloween card yesterday, but otherwise we haven't chatted lately. Did you have something you wanted me to ask him? -- Joanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggy Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yes, I do have an undeserved reputation! Notwithstanding what I say on MSN messenger to Ricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
