Bobo....I think I was being very nice, actually.  But yes, point taken about some of the others.

Message to everyone....let's try to be a little more welcoming, shall we?  At least wait until the newbie demonstrates any signs of poor behavior before we start slapping 'top dollor' jokes on them.

(And Bobo...I did edit your post. )

 

No, not you argus, your always very informative when it comes to helping out people.  Twas the others, good job on the advice, some of those Star Comics are actually valuable, much more so than the majority of comics released at the time.

 

I just saw that you edited my post, that must of have been fun for you!

I agree that the board isnt very welcoming to "outsiders" and their questions about comics. But on the flip side, we LOVE comics. We don't try to make a profit off comics unless your King, and thats fine cuz he is a dealer... and he loves comics, he makes a living off that.

But the vast majority of us loes comics to part with them, so when a person comes with their question about Darker Image #1 in GEM MINT condition asking how much they think they can get for it and the sarcasm comes, its almost....almost completely justified imo.

The Fuj on censorship...

Jess,

Kree does know a thing or two about the Marvel's Stars line-up (certainly more than I do..seeing as howI am a grown-up ), it may be worthwhile taking his advice and doing some searches on eBay to see if those might sell better in runs by title.


Hey if i were a grown up....then i would have to stop collecting funny books...and wheel and deal like King....but i r not the old man he is yet....
on a side note....king is very young looking for a 70yr old crochety old man...

Also there is a variant of Planet Terry #1 that has a game board on it....that was worth some coin also.....Muppet Babies also sell very well.....

Star Comics get the short end of the stick just cause they were based on crudy cartoons from the 80s and Harvey Comics rip off characters....but they were some fun reads....and i grew up on those crudy cartoons .......


and I agree.....the board has become very....angry since the change over....everyone is looking to bite someones head off.....change for the worse..

Guess ya got to remember everyone had to start as a n00b when it came to comics...Most likely you thought you had a GEM comic to when you didn't know anything about grading.

But to me this is like any type of 'culture' people always give others a hard time when someone is new...not saying it's alright or okay but it just seems to happen especially on the internet where we are all faceless.

I tried to tell everyone in the "HOT NEWS ANCHOR" thread that women were faceless. LOL

I dont think any member on here would scorn a new collector. A douche attempting to get TOP DOLLOR will always be subject to ridicule. Beside its just part of the CPG initiation/gantlet.

I don't measure my manhood on a number, unless that number involves current salary, sexual conquests or inches...I am not concerned with my grammar on a message board. I will save my writing skills for something that is important enough to warrant them

Yep, that's the joke. My friends and I used to say this all the time back when we were in school. Still makes me laugh to date. As I said, thanks for entertaining me.
