4.5 seems fair.

That is pretty nuts. Some people really take their lives in the wrong direction.

4.0-4.5 and please don't have Stan ruin it 

Please follow this advice.

5.0 as is

5.5 with a squeeze

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.

I'm finally in the club!

This one has been on my radar for about a year and a half, but the perfect storm of price/condition/available funds hadn't hit until this month.  Thanks to fellow boardie, Mio, for the sale!

Now on to the next key...either Adv #210 or 247.

It is a looker for grade! Do enjoy.

But the problem remains, the grade can only be guaranteed the moment it is done.  Now I can see value in on site grading opinions at a show. Being able to pay a third party to come over to a booth and give a grade, especially when dealing with high value books, would actually be good.

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.

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.

Junk!

Ben Affleck's The Batman Movie Rumored To Include Lots Of Villains

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

4 and 5

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

I'll take it.

 

I've been looking for a 5.5 to bookend my AC242 5.5, but I can't pass this one up.

Sold to you!

First and only price adjustment made

Bueller... ?

That's not a 5.5 by the way.

Ops. Fat fingers.
