 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| People who pull out comic books in back issue bins then proceed to remove the tape to pull the book out of the bag and board to inspect it without asking if they can do that first. I've never done that. Even at cons I ask can I inspect books when they hit the $100 mark and I always ask the vendor to remove the book and put it back in the bag. |

| @southerncross I've ruined at least 2 books I can remember (my own) with those damn adhesive backs. I've forgotten they are that type of bag and laid the comic on the back of the bag. Doing that with a comic from the 60's/70's is very very very very bad |

| @Nuffsaid111 I did it once and once was too many. I was 18 and picked up a sweet glossy VF copy of JLA the first Black Canary very cheap as the book hadn't broken out in price yet. At the train station to get a ride  me I took it out and looked at it. Putting it back and yep, you guessed it the sticky tape adhered to the front cover to give a nice tape pull.Never again, no tape on any of my books at home in my collection, anyone that's gotten a secret Santa gift from me got comics in mylar snugs so no tape can ever be used. |

| I 2nd the no scotch tape near any comic. Think I ruined 2 total in my life. Truly grinds me. I make piles of it stuck to the sides of boxes as I replace them all with small sticky labels, before I ever remove a comic. Occasionally the scotch tape adheres so good it ruins the bag. |

I bought its twin so it can be safely stored in my collection, will post in new acquisitions thread. I'm just pssssssed  |

| @southerncross I kid you not when I say I think 1 of the 2 books I destroyed was the same jla book with black canaries leg on the cover. I know I ruined it but can't remember if due to that type of bag or another reason |

| I still buy CDs of bands I like but rarely do I find new music that I love. I like the physical copy and the liner notes. Once I hit my early 30s, I realized why my friend's parents only listened to the classic rock station. | ||

| On a related note, it grinds my gears that my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport didn't come with a cd player. | ||

It grinds my gears that it finally came to this…momma should’ve stopped when she could. I had to call her at work and tell her. Now we’ll see what happens. This has been grinding my gears since he arrived in 2017.  🤬 |

| On a related note from that, I did a bunch of research “building” a Maverick on Fords website because it was affordable. I stopped at a dealer one day and it was over 10 g higher. “Market adjustment” they call it. Yeah, nope, I don’t want that tinker toy that bad. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DavethebraveWithin a few months. The MSRP was right on there as well. Apparently it became a law in 2020 the msrp has to be on a new vehicle. Likely because of this. Of course the F-150’s and Bronco’s didn’t have a market adjustment. Likely because they are sky high already. “Let’s turn the 30,000 dollar vehicle into a 40,000 dollar vehicle” was how it read to me. |

A four issue limited series that somehow runs 80 issues grinds my gears. 80 is not the new 4.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Little bit of everything depending on the mood. Lately it's been a lot of Pink Floyd, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Ghost, and Danzig. Mostly 70s to early 2000s rock and metal is my thing, but I also have a fondness for country that sounds country and pop standards of Frank Sinatra. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley @Studley_Dudley you're looking at it from a different perspective than those of us who were there at the time. At the time it was a good thing for those of us who bought the books off the rack. It was a sign of success and generated hope for the value of the books. |
