AI generated cover art - yay or nay?

To me, many of them resemble terminators. Perhaps they are. -
Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???

My submission of five copies each of Golden Age Action Comics 1, Batman 1, Detective Comics 27, and Superman 1 vanished and never reappeared. I have to remember to follow-up with CGC about that.

I greatly enjoy all of Mr. Giffen's work and treasure them among my comic book collection.

I have been out of the loop for about a week. I thought I had caused the errors.

Across all it appears as of Tuesday, October 10, 2023: 9:19 a.m. EDT. Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server.

What are you willing to do to fund your comic collecting hobby?
Tec-Tac-Toe replied to jpepx78's topic in Comics General
Great! Whenever I sell my comic books (graded, one day to be graded, and raw) I will give all the proceeds to my daughter as, thankfully, my wife and I don't need them. My daughter, thankfully as well, does not need them but she and the grandchildren will, of course, have more of a lifetime to put the funds to work. -
Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit???
Tec-Tac-Toe replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
I very muck like penguins but, as you note, Penguin Random House (PRH) stinks as far as delivering undamaged comic books to market; perhaps Marvel Comics is the prime example. IDW has delivered damaged comic books for years in my experience because of, "I'll say," crappy cover stock so PRH is par for the course with them. I'll see how Dark Horse comics start arriving now that PRH is distributing them. I believe they also distribute DC Comics' collected works but another board member may know more about that. -

Lower CGC fees would be great but, perhaps like you and other posters, I am extremely doubtful that will occur but I hope to be proven wrong. -

Yes, grades have also, I'll write, changed. I also own some Suscha News copies, slabbed and raw as well, and they do have very nice white pages as do comic books from other pedigrees; for the latter, at least the ones I was fortunate to purchase. Unfortunately, I imagine that some SN copies, for example, are being stored in less than ideal conditions and that may, over time (How long? I don't know.), cause pages to turn off-white. I'll note as a joke, that I vaguely recall someone posting many years ago that they or they were aware of someone that kept a slabbed comic book in the trunk of a car and that due to the temperature in the trunk from the car sitting in the hot summer sun the, I believe, once white pages of the comic book turned off-white or was it light-brown. I think that it was a modern comic book but I don't recall if it was a relatively expensive one. -

Based on board history, as concerns CGC's page color designation, OW-WP have often enough gone to WP and vice-versa upon CPR or straight re-submission. Of course, it may occur that the white pages of a comic book become off-white to white, perhaps ow, while in the slab. In sum, CGC's page color designation is, I'll write, not scientific. -
