Cal might actually have the last laugh with that book as both Iron Man and Sub-Mariner are being speculated on heavily in the last few years.

Yes, Roy! The 5th feedback down, and the link still worked the other day. 

The regular Customer paid $282 for that IMSM, and will let me know

what the final grade is. I can't type on this Forum which 3rd party grader he uses

for obvious reasons....

CAL who used to play the slab game quite heavily back in the day....

I detect a hint of sarcasm in this post.

Some misinformation here( what's new to THIS place???):

NEVER can recall eight( 8) Storage units. I do recall seven(7).

Unless I was counting the one unit that was partitioned off

and one side had only, you guessed it( You guys are so SMART!!!!): IMSM!!!

CAL who is STILL the KING of IMSM even when he sells some!

Only if he sells them and cashes in but he won't because if he no longer owns any IMSM then he can no longer be the king of IMSM and it's far more important to him to lord that dubious honor over our heads. 

I could sell them all and STILL have the longest-running year Title as the KING of that one book. Now the trick is to get everyone to agree

which YEAR I passed Metropolis( who I DO recall having one almost full box of IMSM's in the 1980's

and still not sure how many Chuck R. had in the late 1980's( he was not sure either)

but it seems to me I passed Metropolis in 2001. 

So 17 consecutive years of retaining the well-accepted title of the KING of IMSM is ALMOST

enough for me.

Heck, I STILL buy them on a whim every now and then.

Nothing under 6.0 of course.

The lesser copies you see me sell on the 'Bay are picked up in person, you know the fare:

yard sales, swap meets, private sales( package deals)....c'mon guys, this is NOT a school lesson.

Wait, I think I liked it better when those NOOBS would get on here and declare that I was NOT

a top-tier Collector/Comic book person, yadda yadda yadda( been waiting to use that SYNTAX

to keep Stu happy LOL) and how they ALWAYS completely underestimate CAL!

CAL who knows how to use the underestimation for WORLD DICTATORSHIP a run at public office!!!

I don't think anybody with a join date before 2008 is qualified to give Cal grief.

CAL who DOES know the Rules....he chooses to ignore them at times....

Yes I do have eBay's permission to only refund 75% of the price, and 65% of the "Reader" copies the

insufficiently_thoughtful_persons send back for refunds.

There are specific ramifications and ONE test that eBay has set upon me for that, though.

I have to open the case against those idiotic Buyers as the "Buyer's Remorse" cases.

eBay actually determines if the case indeed IS a true "Buyers' Remorse" case, and lately

Amazon helped me by leaps and bounds by their recent bad-publicity of kicking off those

wanna-be Buyers who run out of money almost on a daily basis. I lose VERY few Restock Fee cases, and have gotten EVERY ONE of those Retaliatory Negative

Feedbacks removed just because of this....

CAL who tries hard to keep a 100% Positive Rating on the 'Bay and it was a BOARDIE who gave me my very 1st Neg....over ONE DOLLAR ship cost differential!!!

Yes, Cal, having known you for nearly 20 years, I'm quite certain that's true.

Yes! We agree on something!

Just kiddin'....I know you love Dogs, so you can't be an enemy of CAL....

Dogs: they don't care how rich or poor you are, Dem or Rep or Indy, your race,

your nationality, your age. The Dogs only want YOU and no one else.

Dogs will wait patiently for you forever to come home, no matter how bad your day

in the people world is. When you get home, the Dog's tails wags for miles!

People? Will stab you in the back, foresake you, desert you, rob you, bear false witness against  you,

steal from you, resent you, hate you and this is the SHORT List of what people can and  WILL do

to you if you give a tenth-of-a-second opening....

Dogs are Man's Best Friend, but Dogs deserve far, far better than Man.

That's the end of THAT story, not open for discussion.

CAL who cannot be confused of the FACTS re: Dogs....

Cal you need to read the book Suspect by Robert Crais in which one of the main characters is a police dog with chapters written from her point of view.  I didnt even like dogs, until I read this book.
