There will also be some rare Variants thrown in at reasonable prices.

Just got about 200 9.8 moderns back from CGC over the last week. Here are some for my own collection:

A couple of $1.50 price variants, CGC didn't give them seperate "Variant" designation, but they noted the price on the label:

Finally got this one, UXM Ann. 13, only 4 previously in the census:

Another tough one, the non-foil version of UXM 350:

Kudos to cgcworld for picking up a slab for me at the Fan Expo last weekend!

You made me happy!

Kudos to Beachbum for a bunch of slabs which were an ebay deal really but he still deserves kudos for securely shipping them to the UK and being great to deal with.

Anyone found a HG #297 or #303 they want to part with recently?

Hopefully I'll have something special to show off in the next couple of weeks.

Super Kudos to BEACHBUM!!!

 

Just purchased a batch of books from Dre and he is an A number 1 guy.

He made a mental error with his paypal address and I ended up sending money to cyberspace.

Anyway to help make up for my trouble he put in a free copy of GS X-Men #2, 9.0 with my order.

WOW, what a great thing to do.

 

Thanks a million Dre.

See you around the Bronze boards.

Leon.

I thought that was YOUR mental error.

I was wondering what happened to that book, when are you sending it back?

CGC's "Modern" tier starts in 1975. Can we not person_without_enough_empathy about this please? I like having my 1976 books slabbed for $14.

 

So why do they define Bronze or Silver (since there isn't a SA/BA Tier), and include books up to 1982 in the BA sets?

 

It's obvious that the truly Modern sets are mostly consistent 9.8+ runs that anyone can get on EBay/CL/Pedigree/etc. in a short period of time. No challenge, no set differentiation, and thus CGC has to move 32 years into the past for a "Modern" set.

Hey now, some of those 9.8s Moderns are hard to get, especially from the 80s and 90s. I wouldn't say there's no challenge involved, I know firsthand.

I'm not worried, I just find it interesting what is considered "Modern" It's confusing to me since I've been basing Copper/Modern from around 1980. I pretty much put it at around the Death of Phoenix (137) for my collection.

I'm curious about this too. It makes it hard to get a Modern run awarded.

Kudos to MutantKeys for hooking me up with some sweet Claremont SS Mutant Massacre UXM.
