That carpet looks like a green screen. Maybe they're going to digitally insert customers later 

I've been going south a lot lately may it's time to go north again  

I don't have a dealers account and have ordered from them numerous times throughout the years. It's pretty smooth but they may take a little more time being your first order as they will probably take your info to get you into the system.  They also keep a form of payment on hand.

Was there much GA/SA stuff there?

Golden was a little light but a few dealers had some nicer golden age stuff and one dealer, a third or so of his wall books were PCH. Silver age was pretty good saw some keys. There was dollar boxes up to higher end Bronze/Silver stuff. Kind of reminds me of the Long beach show with a lot of the same dealers.

reported as a counterfeit to ebay. Let's see how long it lasts before they pull it 

Outstanding ,new location and a great show to kick off the con season for the year.

I'll be there with Mike Zeck.  Please stop by his table if you're going.  

@comiconxionWere you the guy with the convention pizza around 4:00ish or so collecting the money for Mike. I waited for the line to die down and had 3 prints signed for me my boy and my cousin plus a couple of Zeck covers I liked. There was ALOT of comic dealers there. Plus that hall is pretty huge. Overall it was a fun show and I may put this on the list of shows I attend next year if they put it on again.

What's up with the top edge?

Good eye on that top edge. I didn't even look at that picture. Not sure why the top edge didn't improve.

I don't ever remember the sight ever crashing like this during an auction although it has been slow to fresh at times during the auction time. I'm hoping they just don't let it runs it course when they get the sight back up that would be a real disservice to the consignors in this one. 

Op I've read this thread and can see where your coming from. Sounds like you have a friend that has a couple of high end books that they want in the new holders with new labels. An AF15 and I don't know if you said it or not but I would assume the other is a walking dead 1 9.9. Here is the deal paper products are not as resilient as metal products comics vs coins. CGC does certify a comic to be real and restored or unrestored  and they will make a owner right if they miss this although they don't advertise they will pay if they make a mistake. What I think you or your friend are looking for is a guarantee that your re-holder will just happen and even if that 9.9 book is no longer a 9.9 it will still be slabbed a such and if not you will be reimbursed for the difference in price. I for one don't see this ever happening ever. CGC grades a book and there are things that can change the grade of that book that CGC doesn't control.

Owner could put it in a fireproof safe and the staples could rust
Owner could display the book in a brightly sunlight room for an extended amount of time.
Owner could drop the book from a height that is enough to bend the cover paper without cracking the slab (also kind of falls into SCS)
Owners house could flood and book could be submerged in water  

All of these things are out of CGC's control. They can not predict how people will treat the books so I would never expect them to cover any type of fee if a books goes down in grade for a re-holder

Got my tickets. Maybe I'll stop by his booth and get something Cap signed. 

My speculation money is on this one

Happy Star Wars Day to all. My plan is to keep it simple with the original 3. 

Posting this just in case it was on anyone's radar for a show down in the LA. area. I've never been to this one so not too sure what to expect.

I know the 10 point system was created with the number grades to coincide with the letter grades maybe something like this would work.

9.0 VF+/NM-
9.1 VF++/NM- ?
9.2 NM-
9.3 NM-/NM
9.4 NM
9.5 NM/NM+
9.6 NM+
9.7 NM+/MT-
9.8 NM+/Mt
9.9 Mt
10 Gem Mt

I need to re-up my membership I closed my Photobucket account and no longer have a copy showing

I sold my cgc 9.6 copy right before infinity war hit it brought a good price I am planning on buying back in around the end of the year. That should give the book some time to cool a little and stabilize in price. I hoping to get back in at a  nice mid grade raw copy for my run and a graded 9.2. 

Oh and to answer the question I think it's over valued and has been for sometime but then again this is just my opinion 

@RockMyAmadeus The grading scale is a great topic and should probably have it's own thread. I for one would like to see some additions to the scale

I for one don't like seeing a Golden age book with color touch or glue on the spine in a blue label. I thought I heard that CGC did this to lure out some of the bigger golden age collectors to use their service full well knowing the books had a little "extra" going on. I for one think CGC is well enough established now they shouldn't be allowing this at all anymore.

Or if they allow this for the Golden age they need to allow it though the other ages. An even playing field Golden age should not be held to different standards then silver, bronze or even copper when it comes to restoration.

If anyone wants a blue label restored book you can have that across the street. They don't have a purple or green labels. It's Blue ,Yellow or red. I for one prefer to live in a world with a purple label.

My preferred way to handle returns would be:

- if a return is due to something outside of the customer's own actions such that the items received aren't as described (our error, damage in transit, etc), then of course no restocking fee

- if a return is due to the customer's good faith error (oops I ordered the wrong thing), or even if it's a buyer's remorse situation and they changed their minds but it's an honest mistake and first time, don't sweat it, accept the return with no restocking fee, let them know that although we do have a restocking fee for some returns it's not necessary here. The situation described in this thread sounds like it wasn't our error, but it was a minor oversight by the buyer and not a big deal, and I wouldn't have charged a restocking fee.

- but if a buyer has repetitive return requests where we didn't do anything wrong and the buyer made an error or got buyer's remorse, or otherwise is not ordering/returning in good faith, then I have no problem charging a restocking fee. We're not trying to be Wal-Mart or Amazon where anybody can return anything for any reason as many times as they want. There are buyers that would take advantage of it if it were allowed, one example being buyers looking for 9.8 candidates among books listed only as NM, and wanting to return correctly graded books that aren't suitable for 9.8 slabbing. Or ordering a 6.0 FN book and returning it, not because they don't think it's a 6.0, but because they thought it was undergraded when they ordered it, and then after receiving it decided it wasn't undergraded as much as they hoped. We don't want people fishing for stuff like that and then returning what they don't like. We want to take care of our customers, but we expect buyers to meet us half way and treat us fairly too.

Do you guys and gals have a you tube channel I would love to see a video tour of you facility. From some of the pics in your weekly e-mails it seems to be pretty well maintained.  

@nocutename looks like they want to keep you as a customer as they will waive the restocking fee. I'm sure they have that in place to keep people from buying items and then returning them after they read it or feel they can't flip it for a quick dime.

So did they sent you what you ordered or they sent you the wrong thing?

Or did you order the wrong thing thinking it was what you wanted?

CBCS has blue labels for their restored comics and I hate it. In a big auction when stuff is ending in rapid fire if I see purple that makes me take a second to actually see what was done and decide if I still want to bid.
