[Groop] Multiple Subjects

[Gary Grossmann]

Sounds good to me.  I just need to know where to send my extras.  

 

btw, John doesn't have a "store" as in a brick & mortar comic shop.  He's a state bureaucrat like me.  But he has an online store.

Its actually not too hard to grade unless you are getting really picky (like between 9.2-9.8)  The main grades are good enough for most people and if you really need to, you can make in-between grades by saying VG+ if its between Very Good and Fine. But you make a good point Gary. If you have to look that closely, its probably in pretty descent shape.
 
To keep it simple, I just divide mine into collectible and non collectible.  Anything good or below is non collectible.  The list I sent to Gary I'll resend to Ryan, it already had the books divided into those two categories.  If, when this thing starts to move, I'm told not to send the crappy ones, then I won't.  I can cut them up for some kind of collage or something.  If someone wants them anyway, then I'll send them.
 
Since the cost of sending will be on the person donating the comics, that part is no risk to the picky collector.  The physical host (Ryan? John?) can act as a filter and pull out anything that is not worthy of going back out, and perhaps shoot an email to the person that sent them explaining that the comics they sent were not up to grade.
 
Sound good?

I’m not big on what condition comics are in either.  I couldn’t tell a 9.2 from a 9.8 to save myself.  I could never keep all of that fine, very fine, near mint stuff straight.  I figure if you have to look at real closely to determine what condition a comic book is in, it must be in pretty good condition.  Obviously, if it’s torn or stained or creased, then it’s not exchange material.  Other than obvious stuff like that, I hope we don’t worry about it.

Hrm.  Well, I've already got a basic database set up with the names of 35 regular groopers and listings for all the regular groo comics (Pacific, Eclipse, Marvel/Epic, Life, Death, DH mini-series).

 

To keep the ball rolling, it would be helpful if everyone could send me what they need and what they have to offer for the comic exchange.  Then I can start filling in the database and see exactly what we are dealing with here before a single comic changes anyone's hands.

 

The biggest problem I see is the quality of comics.  Obviously we need to exclude any comics that are torn, missing pages, stained, signed, loose pages, etc.  However, when it comes down to really, really good condition to pretty good condition, then we may have a problem.

 

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on what they personally consider acceptable for their personal collection.  So in that area, we need an understanding and a disclaimer of some sort.

 

Something along the lines of don't expect CGC 9.8 graded comics from this exchange.  Just a groo comic for your missing groos that is in really nice condition.

 

But anyway, send me your offers and wants, let me plug in all the data, and I'll look up information on accurately predicting shipping charges with weight involved, etc.  If we keep moving along with this its bound to start happening.  I don't need any of the regular comics, nor am I looking to trade any of them up in quality.  So if I start accepting Groos from members, anything I receive will be turned around and set right back out to someone else.

 

Though if anyone sends me a Groo Chronicles Expensive edition then its going to mysteriously dissapear from the Groo Exhange stock.  :P  (Yeah, like anyone would send one of those)

 

Ryan
