NoMan Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Was waiting for The Redhead at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Ca and had some time to kill and found a new comic shop (to me) on Magnolia Blvd. that had some back issues, but mostly stuff for the Funko crowd. Owner asked what I was looking for, said the Claremont X-men stuff, you know, 94 - 143. He pulled out a raw 118. There was a huge crease in the lower right corner that broke color and I said thanks but no thanks. "Why?" "Not a fan a the giant crease there," pointing to giant ugly crease. "Oh, you're gonna let that bother you?" I thought that was such an odd thing to say. Yeah it bothers me and I'm sure you were the first to point it out when you bought it from whomever you did. Owners buddy (?), employee (?) piped in, "Yeah that wouldn't bother me and tried to make me feel stupid for, I dunno, caring about condition. Walked out never to return. Good luck with the Funkos, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the Funkos, pal. Should have asked the buddy/employee if you could borrow the money to buy it. When he asks when you plan on paying it back, you could have said "Never. Are you going to let that bother you?" -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
