"Very Good" in comic grading is pretty close to rotten in condition! <BR>

If its at shows, stores, <BR>> online stores, trades, gifts, or ebay. Since joining the Groop I've managed <BR>> to nearly complete my collection and one for a friend, but there are a few <BR>> outstanding issues yet. I disagree that they are not difficult to find <BR>> online. The last few I need are rarely available. Granted I don't search <BR>> every single day, but they still don't turn up very often. When they do, <BR>> someone wants $50 or some obscene figure, or I have to buy a lot of 100 <BR>> comics for 1 issue. I've also rarely been happy with the conditions of <BR>> comics described as "very good" I've bought on ebay and they get here with <BR>> water damage. So I guess I'm hoping for a better deal.<BR>> <BR>> Hopefully we can get the comic book exchange up and running. I have a lot <BR>> more duplicates than I do holes in my collection.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Elie A.
