Just trying to keep 'em honest. Or at least let them know people are Watching.</div><div><br></div><div>A very nice (but unrealistic in my opinion) man has been selling his DH miniatures - $100 for three of 'em: 701, 702, 703. But he's a big fan, however - of course he thinks they are worth more than they really are - he thought he could get upwards of $200 for them. I have no problem with that - a collector pricing things at what it it would be worth to them to sell rather than hold on to. If they sell, great; if they don't, he gets to keep them in his collection. It is the intentional and artificial inflation of these kinds of things by "respectable" dealers that get all up under my grill.</div><div><br></div><div>But who knows, perhaps this next round of issue releases, particularly the crossovers, will pull Groo out of the peripheral and launch it into full-blown mainstream popularity. Its 300-or-so active collectorship/ hard-core fan base would suddenly swell to hundreds of thousands, all of whom are desperate to get their hands on past issues, swag, cards, signatures, etc. and our Houndbook bookmarks will suddenly be worth hundreds (starting bid on mine is well below that at $80 - bid now!). Time to buy it all now so you too can bilk the oft-promised, soon-to-come newbie throngs.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div> ~ Porter (the vigilant)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="hmmessage" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="blue" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; "><div class="Section1"><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "></div></div></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="hmmessage" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="blue" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; "><div class="Section1"><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></div></div></div></span><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="hmmessage" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="blue" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; "><div class="Section1"><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; ">Check out this overpriced inflation:</span></font></div></div></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="hmmessage" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="blue" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; "><div class="Section1"><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; "><br><a href="http://shop.ebay.com/%09%09%20%09%20Images%20of%20Groo?_from=R40&_trksid=p284.m38.l1313&_nkw=%09%09+%09+Images+of+Groo&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_naf=1" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://shop.ebay.com/%09%09%20%09%20Images%20of%20Groo?_from=R40&_trksid=p284.m38.l1313&_nkw=%09%09+%09+Images+of+Groo&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_naf=1</a><br><br>I have a whole set I'll sell for $1,000. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>There was another guy selling different individual cards of the Wildstorm reg. set w/ the same picture, which I found Groolike. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>He ended them all I think as well.</span></font></div></div></div></span></blockquote></div></body></html>
