Grail is the most over used and poorly used word in this hobby. 4 4

It's not as poorly used as "rare", but it's twice as annoying.

Well, it's all really relative from my own personal point of view.  

After all, if you compare the numbers for any comic book, they are indeed RARE compare to the grains of sand on a beach or the number of stars in our universe.

What? Are you saying my VG copy of New Mutants #32 is NOT a grail...?

 

[catman76]

For me it's "book". They are comic books, not books. Books are those things on your bookshelves.

Grail spelled backwards is Liarg.

"Sick". I hate seeing that in threads... "Dude, that book is SICK!" Get it some meds, then. >.< Sorry, grumpy old man who can't get wit da yoof.

So would that be like an anti-Grail? Could I use that in a sales thread? -- "X-Force #1 sealed in bag with Deadpool card, a true Liarg of the hobby."

Nope. Grails is that word (well, "word").

[followtheleader]

For me, it's "Collectible". 

Word makes me pffffffffffftttttttttttttttttt.

Yes there can only be one grail and should be near unattainable 

[speedcake]

100%.

Every post on facebook I see about some dude's $50 or $100 comic grail just makes me sigh and think "get a haircut, and get a real job."

After reading this statement, your avatar leaves me very conflicted.

Yep. Not good. I have seen a couple people refer to a comic they are selling as yummy. I get the same feeling seeing that as when I say the word moist.

"key" has lost all meaning

First appearance so it's a minor key, first appearance of Billy one Bollock ..... so  .
