Aces Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 How did you first learn of the CGC forum? After seeing more and more CGC comics on eBay I did a web search and found the home page. From there it was a click to the message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrockley Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I was a member of CPG when Hammer first joined and there were a few from here who came over to poke him so I joined up here to read what all the fuss was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Four years later I'm still trying to figure out why CGC books sell for multiples of their raw counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Comics Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Was around when they first started. I hear about them from a baseball card collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwoogieman Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't recall, really. I know it was after I had found the main website and had some books CGCed, since that was in late 2001, and I lurked for awhile before I started posting.

Earl Davis Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I was researching price variants, did a Google and found the great thread about them here. A few months later was researching Canadian White’s and the same thing happened again. There are some great threads of this nature here. Only reason I didn’t make this my ‘main’ board was I didn’t collect slabs (Still only have 3). The boards here seem to have diversified more of late in the range of subjects covered and I love publisher related threads like the Lev Gleason one in the Golden Age section. Earl.

Jeffreykli Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 After submitting some books, I clicked on the link and found the Boards. Lurked for a while, and was sucked in by the Ian Levine quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicwiz Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Not sure. It was either the guys at Paradise Comics who pointed me to the forums or James Ashley Rudd (fantastic_four). Might have happened near around the time Matt Stanley had a bunch of books stolen from him, and both James and I had won some Spidey's off Matt. James emailed me explaining that Matt had renagged on an ASM 2 he had already won and paid for and warned me that Matt might do the same with my book. I kept in touch with James from that point on, and during that time, he may have told me about this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well, I had this notebook of character cut-outs from Golden Age comics... There were a few whose source I couldn't identify... I had seen the forums when perusing CGC's site. So, my first post on the boards was a new thread, where I posted a link to a page on my website that had pics of the cut-outs I needed help with... All but one of the cut-outs that I couldn't identify were eventually recognized by board members. The last cut-out was identified with help from Vinny at Metro. Of course, my intention was to write an article about the notebook entitled "The Kid Who Cut Up $1,000,000 worth of Comic Books" or some such, but other writing projects have gotten in the way. And CBM, where I wanted to send the article once finished, is no longer being published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st-and-keys Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Did a search for a cover I was looking for and ended up here. Lurked for awhile and started posting some books. Mostly enjoy looking at what people have in their collections and sharing stuff that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I came to this board by way of the Green Rivers I had purchased off Ebay actually. (It was actually an OFF-Ebay transaction since his auction for a NM Daredevil #11 lapsed without any bids.) Previously, I had heard of and read a lot about CGC, etc. but it was the possibility of slabbing some books that caused me to actually sign on. (I actually started posting with some scans of Green Rivers to ask if they were worth slabbing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusSeizure Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I was curious about how rare certain GA books, like Action #1, actually are, so I did some searching on line and a thread in these forums came up in my results. I lurked for a few months and then started posting, just to get in on the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Great idea FFB! I really dont remember, other than I was aware of slabbed books growing influence, and heard there were discussions boards where comics lovers were swapping stories and showing books and arguing the merits of what was going on. I started reading until there was a discussion about 'married books'... so I burst in blasting Danny for being th emost notable offender with his Easman File copies. ...and was torn a new arssehole immediately by Methuseleh for cliaming he was Danny himself, as everyone referred to him as, tho he would of course never admit it. and of course he was Danny/Hammer. After that adrenaline rush, I was hooked I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny G Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I happened upon these threads by researching prices on the CGC Homepage.I had just gotten back into the hobby and was looking to submit. I then posted a FURY of scans in the grading forum... I'm sure some can remember I have found it to be a wealth of information (once you get through all the graemlins! )! I hope it will be here for years to come! Thank you all! All the best in 2006 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I received an email from Ian asking for some info on Double Action comics and he referred me to a thread here. Been here ever since! Even went to 2 Chicago forum dinners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
