Wow, I hadn't realized IMIS had tripled in value. Thank gawd you wisely invested in that book instead of dogs like Iron Man 1 or Spidey Ditkos. 

I'm not sure I'd be bragging about that book tripling in value in twenty years, especially since you are doing much of the purchasing.

I posted the tripling detail in haste; I think it has increased MORE than 3x, not exactly sure.

Yes, I will choose to BRAG all I want re: my IMSM Army( Not IMIS, Shad...) because back in the day I got them for embarrassingly LOW prices, because guys/gals like YOU did not respect IMSM.

The prices I made for my CGC NM+ 9.6's were obscene, but can still be found on the eBay Feedbacks if you know how to look at them...

The IMSM raw VF/NM 9.0 that recently sold for $286-ish, I bought for back in the day RIGHT HERE on this Forum for $15.00 plus $4.00 shipping. 

Dogs like IM 1 and Ditko Spideys? Surely you jest. But I remember you from years past. If you were stuck in our lifeboat in turbulent waters, for me to survive, I would have to pick you up and throw you overboard to save the rest of us. 

CAL2 who is getting the last laughs due to IMSM all the way to the Bank...

The average IQ is not 120. Depending on the test, it is usually around 100. About 90% of the population will test under 120. Scores above 110 are considered above average, below 90 as below average, with a fairly small window of error.

Yeah!!!!

I'm above average...oh wait,you said 110.

Was at my LCS last night, and they'd just gotten a copy of IMSM 1 in, had it up on the wall. I've always liked the cover. It was $78, not sure about the grade. I considered taking it down and looking at it, but anytime I have that impulse, I think about Cal's stash, and decide that there's no point. 

Seeing the world of Cal and the noob boardies collide has been pretty amusing this afternoon.

For the record, I've always enjoyed the...color...that Cal's posts bring to the boards. I suspect we share very few life philosophies, but at least his posts are entertaining.

I used to get "mad" because no one would appoint me the "Entertainment Director" of this Forum. The Mods did not like my "inside humor", trust me. I used to be the KING of getting the LOWEST rank, of which I sort of forgot for now, but this clown took my place and UNDERCUT my last place and then was gone. Oh well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose...

CAL2 who has seen it all...

hey how realistic is Lock Down and those shows? 

Not very realistic

Except for in the max

When convicted of murder and given a life sentence you have to spend your first two years in maximum security. Than if you behave,you have an opportunity to cascade down in security, too high medium,which is still cells,to low medium which is rooms and you cook your own food,to camp or minimum security, which you enter a gradual release program,do volunteer work,escorted temporary absences to unescorted temporary absences to work releases to day parole to full parole.

The max was pretty bad,your usual shank fights,sexual assaults people taking HIV infected needles and robbing people at stick point,some real ugly stuff,but if your not involved in the drug subculture you can avoid that stuff.

Lockdowns alot too in the higher securities

Something to do with Threads getting shut down...one could GAIN points for being the Last poster before a Thread was locked, etc. I wanted to be the LAST ranked poster, but this kid somehow undercut me, then he was gone for years...

CAL2 who is starting to get "it" back...

Why do you refer to yourself in 3rd-person?

Cal2 who has been commenting,and defending his stance on iron man sub mariner one shot.

I have a 7.5 of it,but I only thought it to compliment the Iron Man 1 I bought

If you list your Iron Man's on the 'Bay I will at least take a look at them. If they look great I might buy them.

CAL2 who still spends the coin on pulp...

I can't decide if this thread is brilliant and hysterical or just a dumpster fire. I'm leaning towards the latter...

As a NEWBIE of 3 months you have no "rights" or cred to state this, so pay some DUES before you do this...

 

CAL2 who is also a fan of the Godfather trilogy AND their tactics...

I think he's "signing" his posts, and then adding to that signature.

-Kon_Jelly, who is very confused

Outside of his sign-offs, he's referenced himself in the same manner...

TwoPiece, who needs to get the :censored: out of here.

That actually started by accident: back in the day I was trying to edit a post, and the servers were not receiving anyone's posts correctly. I went to work and there was this 55-something paged Thread bashing me for that. So not to waste the Boardie's efforts, I incorporated the 3rd person schtick to my Brand. 

CAL2 who has a Brand. It works. Just wait and see.
