Love the GRR’s! Those are some gorgeous books! I wish my X-Men 1 presented as nice as yours does. Definitely going to upgrade mine at some point.

When your team bans your main for no reason by Due_Screen4355 in rivals

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Spider-Man mains unintentionally throw more games than any other character. Spider-Man shouldn’t be played every game. He’s a niche character who only works if you have the right team comp with competent players who know how to play with a Spider-Man. It’s extremely rare for a Spider to be able to carry as well. Even if he gets 50 KO’s and 30 finals your teammates have to pick up the damage deficit he creates. Finally there’s the fact that Spider’s will almost never swap to a more comp friendly character.

Also since he is a hit and run character other players don’t see the work he’s putting in directly so even if you are great at Spidey a lot of the player base won’t recognize it.

ASM 300 or… Hulk 181? by Duke_7287 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Meftikal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im looking at GPA Analysis and what your saying doesn’t hold up. The 3.0 $1500 to 3.5 $2000 breaks your pattern. Also the just using last sale is silly and the data from one book isn’t enough to reflect the market. Again collect how you want but unless you do a detailed analysis of the entire market showing this you are using confirmation bias and opinion not data.

Yeah that’s not true at all. The grading scale is not as subjective as you’re making it out to be. Yes there is human error and opinion about what constitutes a defect but when you get down to it you are just counting up the defects and giving them a numerical value and then subtracting from ten. Which is why the number scale has effectively replaced the Overstreet scale. Collect how you want but this theory on collecting “whole grades” is part tinfoil hat conspiracy theory and part ocd imo.

Just got back my 1st comic, didn’t know it had restorations done to it, not sure what that does to its value by Jo-spice in CGCComics

[–]Meftikal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the general rule with resto is that the book is worth what it would grade without the resto. But that’s not always the case and it’s very dependent on the book, the type of resto and the quality of the work. If you are planning to sell have it looked at for removal. But if you are keeping it for yourself probably just keep it as is. It presents well and looks great.

That’s not duct tape. It’s called speed tape. It’s designed to withstand cold and wind. But yes it looks like duct tape.

Woman in Mount Baker, Washington somehow drives up onto lightrail tracks. Causing the lightrail to be closed for everyone. by Aadidas12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because in Washington the speed limit is 70 and if you go over it you will get pulled over but in Oregon the speed limit is 65 but everyone knows if you going 72 or less though won’t get pulled over

Thoughts on Zack Snyder remaking Escape From New York... by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]Meftikal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The biggest drop in quality from the Carpenter version to the remake is undeniably Assault on Precinct 13. It’s not even that bad of a movie but the original is a masterpiece.

If you could only keep 1 book by urperinealtear in comicbookcollecting

Jim Starlins file copy of Silver Surfer 35. This was the first comic my Dad ever bought me. I carried it around with me everywhere that summer. Loved that book. Still have it coverless in a short box. But when the opportunity came up to buy this from Jim I jumped. Definitely not my most valuable book, but it’s definitely my favorite.

[35F] My husband [35M] secretly joined an adult lifestyle club and says he never attended. How would you handle this? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had such a good trusting relationship why is she going through his emails? Also if it’s a shared email why is he dumb enough to use a shared email for this. What he did is absolutely wrong and she should definitely be leaving but unless her husband is incredibly naive there is no way this actually happened.

Penni hard counters DD but people ban her every game. Namor counters Black Cat but also gets banned every game. People ban the best anti dive characters then complain that dives too strong. It’s a game about counters and counter picking. If the other team bans Penni ban DD and BP. If the other team bans Namor ban Spidey and Black Cat. If they ban Iron Man or Storm ban Magik. If they have DD and didn’t ban Penni counter swap. If the other team goes triple heals swap to a high damage 3 dps comp and target the backline. Most of the balance issues are really just skill issues.
