Some familiar people with big books. Lot of inflated asking prices in that video. $200k for an AF15 in a 6.0? I might be inclined to offer my 6.0 for $175k and I am still overpriced. MCS is currently offering a 6.5 for 135k or best offer and a 7.0 for $170k. Both books have slight to moderate Marvel Chipping. My 6.0 does not so $175k should be a steal. I wasn't paying that much attention to the prices, but you're right. And Marvel Chipping is something I won't buy, much like rusty staples it's a cancer that looks terrible and gets worse with time. I have always disagreed with CGC's grading wrt chipping. |

This went viral on "X". A lot of people agree with Glenn. I skipped to the discussion.

I have always disagreed with CGC's grading wrt chipping. Even past that, Dale Roberts is asking $55,000 for a Giant Size X-Men 1 with White pages (a designation that CGC has consistently flip flopped on over the years). There is a white pager currently on eBay for $50k OBO There is an OW-W pager currently on eBay for $30k and $28.5. Sorry, if someone is willing to accept at MOST $50k on eBay that means that they are figuring in the 10% fees and that they are looking to collect around $45k before taxes. OBO means that they are willing to go lower than that. Even if it was a straight $55k, are "white" pages, a designation that CGC has again flip flopped on, worth around $25,000 more? Show prices for many of these books across the boards are straw grasping hopeful lures for a whale. I saw this at NYCC this past fall with many books and it seems that the market prices seem to be more through auction houses or person to person sales. |

Mark Millar interviews Glenn O'Leery about his video. Glenn is right. I don't buy new comic books because the art and stories are just really bad. I'm not interested in hearing the author's personal viewpoints, I want to be entertained by a character that I love and identify with. |

Gotta be a special kinda  to be a rich pampered privileged person and yet still want victim points to get even more perks. |

Just like there are some great popcorn movies out there, there are also some great popcorn comics.

has anyone here actually seen Carbo in action?
I was there once as he was buying out the remnants of my local comic book store. It was honestly like watching a frenzied robbery in high speed as a few guys are darting here and there grabbing boxes and flipping through certain things as another guy flips through things and sort of directs traffic. It's crazy.
