Great summing up, OWK. If you could manage to do this every six months, I'd be able to skip a LOT of drama threads.

Thank you. I agree. Too many of them :frustrated:sometimes the title pulls you in, only to realize it wasn't actually a reader copy it was only pieces and a staple or that you only own partial shares of an investment company not actual pieces of the investment.  Hey at least the sales threads have been rocking!:headbang:

Basically, a bunch of dingii have overrun the boards with GIFs.

Valuable content is HTF these days.

This feels a little like a :baiting:, but it would have been almost unreadable had I black and white keystroked out a summation of 6 months .

Valuable content has been HTF for many moons....

Now as for the valuable content.  Yes it has been few and far between.  There have been some awesome sales threads. There is an good thread about removing lignin from the aging paper of comics reverting the yellowing back and reducing brittleness from them. One about nominating the best comic collector . Some interesting ones about specific collector's search for their white whales and completing their collections. Plus even these drama posts have had their moments.  Like the fact to watch out for Character Labels being Blue but actually having restoration.  PSA about how some are trying to scam collectors and ways to avoid it , or at least get your money back. 

Sometimes we just have to wade through the muck to find the gems. 

After all how many dollar bins have we ever had to dive through to find those deals?

It wasn't aimed at you.

Some people keep sharing the same unfunny string of GIFs. If it wasn't funny the first time, why would it be funny the next 3 times? Gnome-a-sayin'?

6 months you say? Well a lot has happened.  We had a guy from England get upset that his Back to the Future Promo was not listed as the 1st appearance of Back to the Future and started calling a lot of us "Whoppers" which ended up pretty "Conic"20200807_211325.thumb.jpg.ba38497d1962864dab86bf8ed814f0f1.jpg

we also had this come up .752421327_GiggleComic3.jpg.ebe71451caeea7b70114b48df38f962e.jpgwhich sparked debate. 20200910_235019.thumb.jpg.9e5f1eee1ff9b49f4df06eb7fb664482.jpg

which also led to many other discussions. Eventually the same person decided to post this.20200910_205452.jpg.03435c5552a4b318f15ac7d24c258f64.jpg

Which after attempting to have his books graded lead to ..20200910_234736.thumb.jpg.ba23a31176f57076d2555e75c7f67fd1.jpg

20200914_193100.jpg.fe75366052be6bcc23ec376e29b83e40.jpg

Which since almost every topic involving said person all have ended the same.20201102_150937.jpg.dc0ede6ed99e6b63fd28c88975297082.jpg

So much so they started a topic about locks.

Mean while .. @kav has been trying to collect Greggies20200812_143706.jpg.4abf0c059e052b2ab0f4c59f0c8dfd89.jpg

all while several Greggy threads have appeared. Greggy has only O.o while just continuing to dominate the TAT , This week in your collection,  and Back from CGC threads.

There have been a BIG up tick in nominations for PL and HOS including one who attempted to buy a slabbed book , crack it out and return just the broken slab, while keeping the book and trying to keep the money. Turns out the boards were all over this.20201015_163937.jpg.6ceffbfdea5162658ecb90c458b7ab25.jpg

And found out that 20201015_163643.thumb.jpg.ff9b0aaecec03c7e276852b059b87011.jpg

which lead to the money being refunded and the seller made whole as well as the buyer being outed and added to the PL/HOS.

Plus if you used your moderns for toilet paper,  well you may have just SH!+ on some decent profit as turns out speculation is good for driving the prices on books WAY up.. 

 

lol

I miss that Whopper! 

The CGC Mods should let him back!

I am pretty sure he is back. Although I believe he changed his Board Name . Maybe he read the Identity Crisis topic..

This is why you never roam a Gnome, and yes unfortunately I do know what your saying. If only they could be this smooth and saxy.928mS2.gif.b8d4b1910e58d98df04e486b92e616d5.gif

Just might have me playing Careless Whisper outside of their window. 951928053_Screenshot_20190602-1741302.png.79459bce18ba12d6b86f0345535c1840.png

I always feel like somebody's watching me? :ohnoez: 

Oh what mess, I wonder who's watching me now, the IRS?

We learned also, that income from sales must be reported and taxes paid (thumbsu

No, We would know if that Whopper was back!

He usually sneaks his way back on  though.

Hopefully we will get a quick round of fun with him ......

Wow!  That was a great recap of the past 6 months.  I was drinking something and almost choked laughing. 

Did I miss any grading contests?  I wouldn't have won, but it always gives @BlowUpTheMoon a good reason to post the bridesmaid picture. :bigsmile:

Oh yeah and Greggy actually gave out a rare lol reaction to @Buzzetta
