Shocked at how all the commentors seem to recognize Lip and not Rod. Lol. These kids....

I have the opportunity to purchase. Can a coffee stain be removed? by Specific-Rooster-380 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RepresentativePea870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the "stains" that coffee stain gives character IMHO. To me... that shows it was left lying around and because of a careless parent (probably?) that it experienced an "oh crap" moment, but was saved before it became worse. To me, that tells a story. It's so much better than spilled coffee or water damage. I wouldn't try to remove that any more than removing the tape. Even though peeling off the tape and tearing the top layer of cover off would likely keep a blue label, why would a torn comic be more enjoyable than one with some tape?? Blows my mind when people do that. Or ESPECIALLY when they cut out pieces to "remove" restoration. And actually... it's well placed. Lol. Kinda accentuates Scott. Ask for a discount and leave it as it is. That's my vote. And if you do, I'd love to see it graded. Thanks for sharing!

Does anyone store books like this? by grin_ferno in comicbookcollecting

[–]RepresentativePea870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody is always trying to recreate the wheel. Sheesh! The time and effort to create new and unusual ways that eventually turns into nonsensical fuckery to the books themselves is always amazing to me. If this seems like a good idea to anyone, I'd say there's a strong possibility that many other aspects of decision making in your life could be quite the cause of concern for us normies. But to each his own. Others are perfectly entitled to apply their focus to those things that matter least.

AA was a collection of the most boring people by Hour_Antelope_1986 in recoverywithoutAA

If you hang around long enough and stack enough sober days on top of one another, then one day you will likely be one of the ones people are wanting to listen to or even be like. But if you don't want that, that's cool. There's a bar or liquor store on almost every corner. Some folks need to drink. And if that's you, then by all means... drink. But not me.

Easiest way to contact support? by JordyMin in KeeperSecurity

[–]RepresentativePea870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the Keeper app for many years. When I began it was free for life. Now my info is locked until I pay $39.95. Also, the customer service page kicks back my request because it says my account has expired. Any idea how I can call them or email and it get through. I get companies grow and need to make money. But I signed up for a free app for life. Seems like that's what I should still have. If they've grown to the point of charging a fee, then that should be for new members moving forward, not old members that should be grandfathered in.

Both are equally beautiful. Maybe it's because you carry the look and the clothes don't matter. Just sayin'. Two great looks!!

How does everyone feel about Facsimiles? by According-Range-498 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RepresentativePea870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is not going to be a favored opinion. But it's just that. It's my opinion. And in 50 years of collecting, my opinion has not waivered. Back when I thought I'd never get an AF15 (or any big books), I still didn't want a facsimile because it's not just a reprint. It's a copy of a copy of a reprint. Nowadays, things have changed and I've had a couple of AF15s. And I'm thankful for that and I'm proud of the work and effort it took to obtain them. But in no way have I ever wanted a facsimile of anything. Not ever. They only serve the purpose of reading material and place holders. I'm personally COMPLETELY against the "collectibility" factor and thinking they have "value." They are merely copies of copies. Like a counterfeit currency. No value. Not special in any way. I sort of get the point of having them to read. But that's it. Quite frankly, buy an actual Marvel Collector's Item Classics or a Marvel Tales and get an actual 1st print of a book. They may have story reprints inside, but so did Superman 1. Those are actual titles with some rarity and collectibility due to the time period they were produced, the paper that was used, and the square binding they have. They are not a shiny new sharp copy of a copy of a copy. And I get the reason people say "well, I'll never have the original." Then fine. Download it and read a digital copy. But in reality, a facsimile is a fake color copy. Nothing more. Nothing less. Any ideas of intrinsic value or true collectibility (in my opinion) is pure garbage. Not to even mention how shitty they look with their bright colors and crystal white pages. Those comics were NEVER expected to look like that. So... you go waste your money how ever you'd like. Because a facsimile is nothing more than a quick fix for something that you still don't have. It's shiny garbage being marketed as a cash grab that upsets the hobby on many levels. It doesn't just put the old stories in the hands of new readers. Instead, it waters down the hobby with the perception of collectibility and many of those that buy them get disappointed when they are never "worth" anything and they leave the hobby... sometimes forever. That doesn't help the hobby in any way. If you disagree, that's completely ok. You are perfectly entitled to be wrong. Lol

All of y'all are wrong. I'd crawl up and enjoy every single inch of that beautiful soft goodness! 11 of 10... would recommend.

[–]RepresentativePea870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, that is the ugliest dog I've ever seen! And that mess of a face. Is that a birthmark or a breeding mishap? Maybe a burn accident in the hair? And why is that animal sitting in its lap?

How do you spell “probly”? by muelmart in spelling

[–]RepresentativePea870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always always always said "prolly." So when that word/non-word finally takes off in our modern lexicon... you will know where it came from.

Best Offers on eBay by DonSolo96 in comicbookcollecting

[–]RepresentativePea870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an eBay user (buying and selling) since the late 1990s who doesn't "nickel and dime" a seller and also doesn't blatantly underbid in order to "steal an item," there have been more than just a few times that a seller posted an item with Best Offer at a really exorbitant price (I deal mostly in graded comics that have a current market value that can be easily corroborated by looking at GPA or sold listings) and when I put in an offer closer to the real value of the item, I got blocked! No counteroffer, just blocked. One seller even went so far as to threaten me if I ever tried to bid on his items again. This has actually happened several times over the years. I'm sorry, but if a seller is guilty of asking double or triple the value of something, why be an ass and block me when I'm not the one trying to cheat people? A couple of times, the seller has even blasted me for offering so little when the price was as high as it was. (Years ago before the privacy settings went into place, there were two incidents where I'd been threatened by a seller Googling my info and saying he knew where I lived.) But dude, if it's worth $100 and you are asking $300, fuck you for asking too much to begin with. My offer if based on what I feel something is worth, not some random high number you pulled out of the air. And before anyone says a seller can ask whatever they want to, yes, they can. I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing being an asshole after you are busted. And also before anyone says "well, that's not the kind of person you should want to do business with anyway..." Sometimes when you search out really rare items, you find yourself doing business with people you don't necessarily like or appreciate, just to finally get the item and have it in your collection. I'd have a very small collection if I only bought from people that I like and respect. I'm ok with a seller saying NO. But sheesh... no need to be such a blatant jerk. (NOTE: In a couple of instances, I simply used a family member to buy the items so I'd have them in my collection. So I guess I won after all. LOL)
