  1. UPDATED PRICES $200 - Detective Comics 411 - VF range, cream pages (pressed by Josh Avery) $500 - Batman 232 - CGC 8.5 (pressed by Joey) $480 - Tales from the Crypt 27 - CGC 7.5 (pressed by Joey) a beautiful spine and held back by the tiny nibble at the lower right corner. I upgraded to a 9.0. $300 - Weird Fantasy 8 - Superior copy CGC 8.5 (not pressed by me and no sign of pressing) $220 - Shock Suspenstories 16 CGC 7.5 (recent purchase so I am less attached to it)
  2. Books will be moved to Mio's eBay! in short course...
  3. That is pretty nuts. Some people really take their lives in the wrong direction.
  4. It is a great idea and I will use it. Most other collectibles are traded on the basis of documentary evidence and not locked in plastic. Comics were once the same. Aside from foregoing the environmental hazard, sometimes I want a second opinion on my books and also want to keep it raw. This would also fill a void at shows, e.g. where two people want to settle on a grade to facilitate an in person sale. I have seen boardies sell books here and elsewhere, de-slabbed, with support of a CGC label. It worked just fine.
  5. Some people take books out of slabs when they get them, and just want an independent view as to the grade. I have books like this. The service can be useful in other cases, e.g. a buyer and seller cannot agree on a grade and submit just to determine that (to help fix a price) which I have also done.
  6. I would love CGC to offer this service. I do not like their new slabs, do not want to slab some books, but nevertheless would like accurate grading.
  7. It sounds like a lack or focus, which often leads to poor story telling. It would be nice if one Batman film worked in a more concentrated manner and resembled a detective film. There is more to fighting crime than gadgets and special effects.
  8. More annoying than anything else, having to surf through unreasonably priced books. But on that note, many people price bins slightly above FMV to offset fees, which happened a bit less when fees were lower. 10% eBay + 4% PayPal is stiff.
  9. That was a very nice-looking copy. It is not so easy find find them that nice. Of course, now that I have sold my copies, I am sure the prices are set to explode again
