4/6/2016 Topic: Greg's Collection Corner gregbrookins	I'm still trying to decide if I want to do news stand/direct variant runs or just first come first serve. Price variants is another thing I haven't thought about either....more to think on.
4/6/2016 Topic: Instruction Set for Addding Pictures to Forum Post gregbrookins	I use imgur with a positive result. Upload image to imgur(no account required) and the copy/paste the code for BB(forum code). Works every time for me.
4/6/2016 Topic: That moment when... gregbrookins	You pay way more than you wanted to for book on ebay.... Went to click preset bid at like 22 and it refreshed at the exact moment....39 bucks later, I own a low grade FF 46.
4/6/2016 Topic: That moment when... gregbrookins	Still should be under guide, so not a total loss. I just wasn't planning a buy like that today lol.
4/6/2016 Topic: NCBD 4/6 gregbrookins	Picked up some cool books from the LCS today. I scanned the covers for your viewing pleasure: Pretty sick Black Panther cover. Didn't even know this was coming out, but I saw the cover and grabbed it. My very first Star Wars book. Something about the cover called out to me. And my beloved Silver Surfer has been delayed yet another week..... edited by gregbrookins on 4/6/2016
4/6/2016 Topic: Greg's Collection Corner gregbrookins	I picked up a fun run of these out of the dollar bin today: Got 1-4. And timely with the Apoc tie-in. All are vf/nm. and my earliest FF to date:
4/7/2016 Topic: i have some comics i was hoping to appraise. gregbrookins	I've found that being specific is bad here. Search the title vaguely with an issue number, more likely to get results. For instance off your list, x-factor just search "x factor" no hyphen, it will pull up all x factor titles, if you have an issue number, it will pull up all x factor titles with that issue number. Much easier than trying to be super specific.
4/11/2016 Topic: Epic Auction find! gregbrookins	I think the cover cut was when they didn't sell an issue. They could mail the cut portion of the cover back to distributor for a rebate. Technically suppose to have discarded of those after that, but I imagine it happened a lot.
4/15/2016 Topic: New Comic Book Day(Belated) gregbrookins	I didn't get to the shop on Wednesday and I'm paying for it now. I got my month late Silver Surfer 3 but they were sold out of Batman/TMNT already...blech.

5/17/2016 Topic: Greg's Collection Corner gregbrookins	Got my first graded books from CGC, 1 not bad, 1 terrible... lol. FF 56 came back 7.5 which isn't too bad, and Thor 193 which came back at 5.5....blech. Somehow i missed the staining on the bottom....oh well.

This will be my first convention ever. I'm pretty excited and I plan on bringing my 11 year old son with me. I've recently gotten him interested in comics.

5/26/2016 Topic: That Jerk's Stuff gregbrookins	I have a hard time going over 20 a book most times. The one exception, I spent about 100 bucks on FF 48, but I had to there.
5/26/2016 Topic: Greg's Collection Corner gregbrookins	I just bought the Serenity "Leaf on the wind" gn. Pretty sizeable book and hardcover, on Amazon for 12 bucks with prime shipping. So far it's really nice, great art and the story picks up right where the movie ended!
