Let's hope this current scenario works out better than the one conjured up by Ewert, since it's always sad to read sob stories from cry babies who lost big money at playing the high risk game of chasing after uber HG, but otherwise, common as dirt books.

Dean,
I don't know you, but I have to say from the last 10 or so posts you contributed to this thread that you are nothing but a blowhard azzhole.
Just because some collectors like HG books (who DOESN'T want the best possible copy they can attain?), doesn't give you the right to knock their collecting habits!
Though I am not an "uber" HG book chaser, I DO go after the best book I can possibly afford of that particular issue...
According to your post, if I try to AND win a HG book in an auction, get ripped off due to undisclosed resto/trimming, or anything undetected by CGC and state my case on the Boards, then I'm just a cry baby spouting a sob story???? WTF???
If that's your mindset then you and I will happily take a strike for that!
Have a nice day and may Greggy haunt your dreams!





I'm no "uber HG" collector, but I also go after the best book I can possibly get, too. There's no reason to knock someone's collecting style and act like schadenfreude is acceptable. After all, the low and mid-grade collectors also serve as a market and kudos to them for their love of the hobby, too.
