Because in your mad hunt for everything Groo. such as myself, it would
be considered something your (our) collection is missing - a perfect 10
graded Groo Comic by a so called official grading company. Though again.
if it was going for 90-150 dollars.. I doubt I'd bite.

Ah, but can a fool's fool a fool? (And was he fuzzy-woozy?) In other
words, why would I want a 10.00 PC Goo #1 when the one I've got has been
gloriously "ruined" with the signatures of Mark, Sergio, Stan, and
Gordon Kent and a little drawing by Senior Mustache as well? That one
is priceless to me! -Gary G.

You're right.. Not this guy again.
He's full of lots of color and a great many buzz words :-)
He is doing something right, though, because he's got a high enough
rating. He just keeps failing with the groo piece. I mean, he's really
trying to capitalize on that 9.9
Groo just isn't that kind of comic to move like that. :-) Now granted if
it was a PC #1 issue of Groo rated at 10, I'm sure Gary and I (and some
other stealthers) would be bidding like wanton sailers after a long
voyage. but that's neither here nor there.
Maybe he takes us for the fools we are?

Subject: [Groop]The $89.95 guy is back
Janet pointed out to me that the guy trying to sell that CGC 9.9 Groo is
back. He appears to have updated his listing a bit. Here's the
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2107661866> link.
Now, he is saying the issues up to #110 from the Image series will be up
and available soon. I checked out his other auctions up at the moment
and noticed not a single one of them comes close to the high price of
that Groo. Do you think he honestly believes it may be worth that much?
Elie - shortest posting to the Groo list this month!
