At least with the LTPC we were able to cope with the tragedy!

Very few of those threads contained actual knowledge about comics. Mostly the McNeelys, Salesextremevoip, trading rims for TOS 39 etc.

This is going to happen a lot less in the future if threads keep getting locked all the time. I have no idea what kind of Extreme Team Snowflake^TM

moderation team is in control, but the legacy of shared knowledge contained in these threads dies a little bit with every locked thread.  Suck it, mods. And suck it crybaby puzzies.

 common denominator?

That's not what I got

But now I'm hungry 

[Crimebuster]

I'm not a big player, I like to find deals in dollar bins. I think I have only spent three figures on a back issue maybe 5 times in 35 years of collecting.

One of those times, though, was for a comic that I saw on the boards and just had to have a nice copy. Something almost nobody cares about, but as soon as I saw the cover, I was like... yep, I am going to the mattresses for this one.

Since no one I know is a a serious or even casual collector this resource in essential! An example is I figured out how important the centering of a book is to people in this hobby. "Eye appeal" can mean more than one thing but I think that term refers to centering for the most part. I discovered that you must look for areas of yellowing on white back covers through scans on high grade books from an eagle eyed poster. Another thing is how people view signature books...the placement of the sig, who signed it & when, in what grades people prefer their SS books, the clarity of the sig etc etc. Learned of ideas on how to get rid of Newton rings. I wouldn't know about GPA if not for these boards. So yeah these boards are vital to anyone interested in a serious collection. I have the boards to thank for the IH180 I bought almost 2 years ago. It would have cost a good deal more on Ebay!

All this is important information if anyone ever wants to put something on the market!

Usually derailment by a couple of assclowns with no interest in the actual topic.

Luckily, at least some long-running threads just get cleaned up and reopened.

No need for name calling.  And if someone comes in just to derail as you suggest it should be easy to merely ignore them.  It takes 2 to tango.

The boards have helped greatly expand my knowledge, but haven't really affected what I collect.

See what I said about the Tango?

I’m too tired to write a long post on Friday night. Suffice it to say, I collected primarily lower grade SA Marvel, and no keys or higher grade books.

I now collect a lot of GA (pre-code, GGA, classic covers). I also buy primarily slabs.

For me, it’s really shaped what and how I collect.
