That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm not sure if that's it but it does make some sense.

Anyone think Skye is an Inhuman? They keep referrencing dormant powers, she received the Kree injection and had no side effects. Could this be Marvel's way of introducing the Inhumans? Skye would have to be introduced to the Terrigen Mists to manifest powers...and that "Flowers" scientist chick keeps talking about how she has something inside her like Skye that she wants to release. Could Skye be Crystal? Just a thought...I'm really loving the show, sad we only have one more episode. Any confirmation on a second season?

Thanks for the review...I'm hopefully going tonight with the wife...I'm hoping I like it. I assume I will, I didn't dislike the first one either.

My wife and I just moved into our new house a few months ago so my comic office is a work in progress. These are some lousy cell phone pics of my box filled room and my newly finished Cap 100-118 run as well as ST114 and AV4.

Brilliant book Fred...and that pic is priceless. Congrats!

+1...that's a gorgeous .5, congrats for sure!

I was just gonna say the same thing...that is a BEAUTIFUL .5, what's the BC look like?

Beautiful book, congrats!

This is definitely one of my favorite threads in the SA section...I've got a run of slabbed Cap 100-118 that I just finished...they are mostly 8.5+, some SS's...I'll have to get some pics together and throw them up.

I got a real kick out of that as well...there was a group of people in front of me that had no idea...I really enjoyed the reveal myself, but it was a great experience to see and hear people who had no clue...it reminded me of my first time reading the books and the shock I got from it.

Awesome movie...I keep saying it every time a new Marvel film comes out...perfect or not, we are being spoiled by all these films. Cap2 was damn close to perfect.

Yeah, this show has gotten pretty good. This last episode really upped the intensity.

I agree, couldn't have said it any better...transparency is key.

Ok, I'll bite. What, exactly, are the other issues that have been raised here? CGC made a mistake and graded a trimmed book as unrestored. They don't claim to be infallible and I'm sure this won't be the last time they screw up. What matters (to me, at least) is how they act when mistakes like this are brought to their attention and as far as I can tell, they're doing exactly what people wanted them to - admit they made a mistake & try to make the submitter whole. Apart from Kav's nonsense ramblings, what am I missing here? The book was graded 3 times (of course I don't know if it was ever graded before I got it) It came back Blue twice and Purple once. Shouldn't the assumption be it's Blue?? That's not the point...the point is making it disappear and go on pretending it didn't happen. Addressing the issue is being swept under the rug. I get it, CGC isn't perfect...but we spend a ton of cash and put a lot of trust in these people...their accuracy is THE most important part of the product they sell. This is a very big deal and puts every graded book into question. This isn't the first time something like this has happened...it has happened to me and many others...CGC can't move forward until they fully address the trimming detection issue. Removing the book from circulation, trimmed or not, does nothing to address it.

Straight up, what a joke...how does buying the book and removing it from circulation answer the root problem, they can't detect trimming with any real certainty? How does that make any of us with Slabs in our collections feel the least bit confident in their present status? How do I feel any better now sending a book in to be graded? I don't slab books for the slab itself, I've always struggled with resto check...that's the major reason I like graded books. I think, like several of my friends who left these boards already, it's time to rethink that strategy.

I hate to sell books and only do so on rare occasions...ask a few of my boardie friends, they make fun of me because of my attachments.

I'm a huge X-Men fan so I've been rather disappointed with the previous films...1st Class wasn't too bad...but finally, FINALLY, I see Iceman SLIDING in a movie. It seems so trivial but damn, I'm so happy to see him on his ice slide.

Tim bought a book from me...paid immediately, and was easy to work with. It was a smooth and easy transaction, we will definitely do business again.

I've got the same rack, it's going to be displayed in my comic office once I finish setting it up.

Nice looking low grade book, welcome to the club. (thumbs u

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!! so cool man congrats Beautiful copy, the cornerstone of any collection for sure. Congrats!

The last few episodes have been pretty good...seems like some big reveals are around the corner. Tonight's episode was pretty good for sure.

Bought a book from Andrew and the box arrived and looked like it was attacked by pit bulls. The book was packed very securely with plenty of bubble wrap and managed to survive the trip unscathed. Andrew knows how to ship a book so buy with confidence. He's a welcome addition to the boards and totally skipped to the advance shipping skills course, newbs pay attention.
