Speaking of inappropriate racial statements, I present the entire character of Whitewash Jones. It's actually so egregiously bad I find it hysterical. It's like a parody of racism. | ||

Don Rosa, or as I like to refer to him, Cranky McQuack. Just kidding. He has always been fairly affable when I've asked him to do something or engaged him in conversation. | ||

I bought this one off the rack when it came out. Was excited to meet Don Rosa at HeroesCon a couple years ago! But boy, was he a prickly old timer. Quote: Originally Posted by sborock |

Quote:Originally Posted by sborock I asked him one time why he didn't do such and such show. He looked at me and said, " They didn't ask me." I was taken aback by his comment because I thought, "Who wouldn't want Don Rosa at their show?" |

Masculinity takes a holiday. | EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
I was inspired by the first picture in this thread, Superboy 147. So I went on Ebay last night and bought a 9.2 white pages for $130. GoCollect.com modeler gives it a FMV of $600 but I can't find any sales history that would support this valuation. Any thoughts why the FMV estimate would be so different from what I was able to easily purchase for? | ||

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. | flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
The simple answer is that Gocollect's modeler is highly inaccurate. It's always best to use the actual sales data instead of any modeler or analyzer. According to GoCollect, that same exact comic was sold on Ebay for $135.00 is March 2019. It looks like you got a great deal though, considering others in that condition have sold for a bit higher and your has the perk of having a pedigree. | ||

Just thought I'd throw the Dreck Check data in here. I set the search for "All Records", a range of 9.1 to 9.3, and with CGC and CBCS sales. This is what it came up with. |
