For the most part one just has to "know the crowd" there, which usually requires a fair amount of lurking. I doubt even RuPaul would go to church dressed to the nines shouting, "I'm here everyone! Now we can start the worshiping!"

Well, he might if there were cameras.


EDIT: Not suggesting you went all "RuPaul" when you were there LOL

Nice book!

My guess was 4, but I'm certainly not a professional...or even a competent amateur.

I lurk there from time to time when Iā€™m bored. I have to admit that the CGC forum atmosphere kind of intimidates me. And Iā€™m not one to be easily intimidated, much less admit it. The crowd culture there has an uncanny ability to jump to the wrong conclusion quickly and seems very reluctant to back away from their initial mis-understandings.

@EbayMafia I agree, here is a little more open minded and friendly. I don't want to bad mouth them which is what i feel like I'm doing but 2 weeks just to get an order to be marked as received in the system is a kind of a lot. There has to be a better way for them to separate orders and get them checked. I don't know how long orders are checked in here but i cant imagine its the same amount of time.

My guess would be 4.5-5. If you get it graded, definitely update us.

Welcome to the forum LOL
I may be wrong, but I've read people here waiting longer for that to show.
It's just the way it is.

I avoid The Water Cooler altogether, and Comics General can be a mix of good and bad.
The era specific forums are much better, though I think the Copper Age forum can get some drama.
Many people have been there a very long time, and like most social groups they tend to get ruffled when someone new shows up expecting the entire atmosphere to adapt to their way of posting, instead of the new guy studying the way the place IS first.
There's a lot of give and take needed to make clashes like this work over time, and in my view the 'new' needs to understand that the 'established' takes a while to adapt (or accept, at least).
