Quote:Originally Posted by jrs This is correct. There is an obvious Market for Autographed books(I don't like them either). I don't want a slabbed book with anybody's personalized label on it. That includes any of these "Pedigree" Books. What a crock of crap that is. I don't care who's collection it comes from. That doesn't make it any nicer than any other book of the same grade. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KingNampa The registry is actually the feature I want most from CBCS; like @conditionfreak, i am pretty competitive when it comes to my collection. I do not participate in the CGC registry because i know i just don't have enough CGC books to compete with any of those guys. But I have close to 1k CBCS slabs so I am very much looking forward to seeing how my PC stacks up against other heavy submitters. I am also very excited about CBCS having a census, but that is more so because i feel it is necessary for people to at least have somewhat of a gauge of what is out there. I have definitely used the CGC census to influence my decision on submitting certain 80's & 90's books...I know those books don't hold heavy value but if they are rarely graded, it at least gives the high grade copies some sort of selling advantage |

Quote:Originally Posted by Deadpoolica Yea, i have re-focused my collection from having thousands of raw books in runs in various conditions to only really holding on to the key, slab-worthy stuff. Plus, the slabs display a little easier/better versus having just a ton of longboxes in a closet. I absolutely love it and I'm sure CBCS does too lol...my wife, doesn't so much haha. |

| If anyone would like to hang out and listen to Mr. Steve Borock talk about CBCS, the latest news, and anything comic books, we will be live in about 20 minutes. Of course, if you can't catch it live it'll be up right afterwards to play at your convenience: |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater I didn't know Sgt. Johnson, or any of his friends or family. It is an iconic image. What it represents to me, says a lot about the cost of what U.S.'s current foreign policy, means to the common U.S. soldier and common U.S. citizen. Both of my grandfather's served in WW 2 and Korea.If I were alive in those times, I would have enlisted. I do not support our current administration and the for profit wars, which have been waging onward for decades. The country thst Johnson died in is where about 40% of the world's uranium is mined, that is why Johnson his life. President Eisenhower warned the U.S. public about the potential threat of the U.S. military-industrial complex, in 1961. That picture is a sad reminder that we have not heeded Eisenhower's warning. |

| You do know that there were three other soldiers that died same time, same place. Yet you chose to favor the one whose family and Congresswoman has denigrated our current President. Interesting. Go ahead, Without looking it up, name one of the other three who died that day in Niger. That's what I thought. Marines died by the boat and chopper load recently. But you chose this guy because of your hatred for our President. Hey, I get it. That is why I ate yellow cake today, in honor of Hillary's birthday. (Uranium joke, in case you didn't get it). LOL |

Quote:Originally Posted by conditionfreak Our own President could not refer to Sgt. Johnson by name, without looking at a piece of paper. I am aware of the number of American servicemen and service women have died by the boatload.Not just recently, either. That was a huge part of my point. Our own President is not an American patriot. Our own Presudent had a sum total of FIVE deferments, from serving in the Vietnam War via 4 for education and the last for "bone spurs", in one if his feet....when asked on the campaign trail Trump fumbled and did not say which foot it was. Trumps father bought his son's way out of the war. Servicemen like Johnson came from a poor community, and he rose to the rank of Sgt. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html Our own President, has belittled and blatantly disrespected, a true American hero, in John McCain. "I prefer those who were not csptured." - Trump on McCain......and even when McCain announced he is terminally ill, Trump continued to demean McCain. A handful of the GOP who are not seeking reelection, such as Jeff Flake, Corker and McCain, who are therebt freed from their donors' influence, are no longer supporting Trump.They are not denouncing him by name, but their speeches are crystal clear.Our country is on the literal brink of war with North Korea, our President cannot control his Twitter feed. I am an American patriot, I want to avoid the deaths of thousands of US Soldiers...let alone the hundreds of thousands of needless civilian deaths that would occur if Kim Jung Hun is retaliated, after the u.s. makes a preemptive strike.... , that this madman, our very own President, is edging us increasingly towards. FYI, General Maddus is the lone voice in Trumps cabinet who opposes a preemptive strike against North Korea. Think about that. McCain this past week on Trump: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/10/23/politics/john-mccain-trump/index.html Flake, just 2 days ago, pleading for other conservatives to take a public stand. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/10/24/politics/jeff-flake-trump-retiring/index.html I am not laughing, no Hillary cake is being eaten by myself.She was never my first pick. Please not profess to know what I believe, think or whom I hate. I hate no one. Kindly, pmease do not insinuate that I am not a patriot of our country. Dissent of government is patriotic in itself. I love this country, and it's ideals. I believe you both likely do, as well. Respectfully, I am bowing out of this conversation here. Good night, to you both. |
