Scanning and grading has been a chore. The grades I will put down my opinion on it. If nothing else, for me. I wouldn't want to grade all these comics again and I have graded every one. I think I am getting better at it and quicker at it. I used to get painstaken over making grades and wrestle with grades. Now I'm scanning it real good and looking at it hard and making a decision. And if someone wants to complain about it, I guess we can work out a refund. I just think I know pretty much where a comic stands in my own mind and if they want to bitch about it go ahead. I doubt I would ever find another reason to grade objectively all my comics ever again. So might as well do it and judge it by my terms, while I have the chance.

Family member in the hospital today. Not good, but hopefully all is okay. So tired of comic collectors on the CGC board. I guess I'll have to investigate what it's going to take for me to shit lollypops and glitter for the posters over there.
My sister was looking me up online awhile back. She saw some of my rants directed at other collectors. She was laughing and giddy about it. She was saying to herself "that sounds just like my brother."

I hope things turn out okay. I don't go to the CGC boards too much. Sometimes I miss it and go back over there. Sometimes I read some good stuff. Sometimes I wish I was there more. But, just like many big boards, I find it too cliquey. Or too much of a hierarchy over there. I hate when the opinions of big time dealers/collectors outweigh the opinions of the little people. Not that their opinion is not as sound sometimes, but I hate when a little person has an opinion and then Big Time players gang up and just take things down. I'm not saying that goes on there a lot. I didn't see much of that. But I do think there is some players over there who's opinions are gold and anyone less seems to be ignored to a degree. You don't have to be big time to have a legitimate opinion about something. I've been spending so much time doing eBay that I haven't had much time to devote here. Maybe I can get a few posts in the coming days.

Maybe I can get a few posts in the coming days. It's the Modern Comics board that annoys me and the one that started shit last was a Valiant comics fan... like always. Valiant Comic fans tend to be the most obnoxious. For that very reason, I try to be just as obnoxious back to them. The modern comics board is a bunch of speculators rambling on about how great everything is from Image. When someone is speculating on a book, they can't stand to hear an honest criticism. I'm not kissing their ass just so their comic book can go up in value. Seriously, they can go fuck themselves. I've been too busy to go back. You can count on the copper section to be bumping up the Dave Stevens thread hourly. Dave was a GREAT artist, but how the hell can they constantly be rambling about the guy. Is there nothing else from that era for them to discuss? The silver age forum has very little interesting posts. I posted scans of my comics in the thread dedicated to Hulk #1 and Amazing Fantasy #1, but after you do that there's no reason to ever post again under those topics. In a way, that board is worse than other much slower boards.

The CGC Boards Modern Forum has become more about the next big thing lately and even I, the guy with the trending books on eBay website, is getting a little tired of it. I use to like the moderns heating up thread but now I can go three or four pages with out ever seeing any books that are heating up even mentioned.

I was relieved to see the interest in Walking Dead tapering off a bit. df1

Maybe I bashed the board a little too hard when I talked about it previously. I've never had a problem over there but I always felt like when I said something I felt crickets and when other guys over there say something it's like their word is gospel on everything. Again, never had a problem personally and I did see and find a lot of interesting material every time I went. I just got tired of seeing some dealers buy heavy on new moderns before they came out and then hyped them like they were the next big thing. It's obvious what is going on when you see things like that and I guess I don't go there as often as I should or like to because of those reasons. But really, I don't and never really had a problem over there.
