I takes me an awfully long time to push through all those pages of dead images from Photophucket. You're making a serious mistake. Those dead images are there for a reason! You can gather all of those up, save them, and trade them in later to CGC for pernts. You redeem enough of them and you can get a free submission with a custom label featuring a dead image!

Larryw7 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 On topic, I directed Poverty Row to these boards in 2002. As for fighting on the forums, the first year had some of the best. This place.would lose some of its character if it ever becomes the Palsy Walsy club. If you don't believe me, then let's meet at Phil's Parking Lot to talk it over.

an99 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I only have 3 friends that collect comics, and none have them have ever taken to my suggestion that they sign up for the CGC Boards. One of them has a very nice collection of slabbed Neal Adams Batman books, but still no dice. I can’t blame them though; I am not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram … IIRC, I signed up because I was looking for a 9.8 Valiant Comics WWF: Ultimate Warrior Workout Comic Book after I lost out on an eBay auction. My thought was that if I was going to find one, this would be the best place to look. Unfortunately, I am still searching. I do have a 9.4 though … That said, I don’t post that much, but I enjoying reading the threads and looking at other people’s collections. I don’t know about the “Old Guard”, so I don’t have anything to say about that. Everyone I have spoken to or dealt with on here has been very nice.

I'm sure you're aware the census only shows three Universal graded copies, one each in 9.4, 9.6, and 9.8. Do you know who has the 9.6? Are you finding raw copies anywhere that could be possible candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H0RR0RSH0W Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Yes I know this topic has pretty much spun off into infinity and beyond at this point but not something anyone else has alluded to is that not every one wants to take their comic collecting to this level. If I mention that I am a member of a "Collectors society" or members only comic board I get treated like a snob and often it is a turn off to the average joe collector that I meet. It can be a real conversation killer. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 01TheDude Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 getting involved with a message forum is more involved then most people are interested in diving in. My guess is we have plenty of lurkers who enjoy the content but stop short of signing up. Then there are the people who jump in all excited but without heeding some useful advice found in the Newb board - often leading to the general feeling that they are being picked on or driven away. I found those situations frustrating because far too often they will ignore the advice and double down with their non-standard posting, tossing in those phrases that directly challenge the expert advice they are seeking. I've seen this on many sites I have been a part of over the years. Even the most robust conversations can grind to a halt. The beauty of this site is you can discover a topic covered 10 years ago and find valuable insight. Message forums are tools that can expand the understanding in some crazy topics and an excellent resource that provides us all so much enjoyment of the hobby. As for promoting the forum-- I have done next to nothing in this respect mostly because I rarely encounter fellow collectors. I feel this forum is the most informative of the social media varieties (facebook, instagram etc) and most likely to answer questions with a proper search. kav, JJ-4, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
