Enjoyed this movie overall. Found the JSA more interesting then Black Adam. They honestly should do a JSA movie.

Great show and can't wait for the dance of dragons when the war is in full effect which should be season 2.

Such a fun show and I have never watched the original movies at all. Jenna Ortega knocked it out of the park with her performance as Wednesday. 

Way of Water imo was better then the original in terms of the story and character relationships. The 3D was done really well and wasn't distracting for me.

Enjoyed Wakanda Forever, but it wasn't as good as the first one. Chadwick Bosemans T'Challa was sorely missed in this movie. The original -script was for this movie with T'Challa would have been amazing. 

Astonishing X-Men 1 Mark Brooks Psylocke variant is a great cover.

I'm looking for someone local in the Chicagoland area for some books I want to get pressed because the wait times with CCS is crazy. My last submission was majority of the time at CCS press.

I recently listed some books on shortboxed and it was pretty easy listing them. Haven't made a sale yet so can't speak on the post sale experience. As a buyer my only complaint is that the app is a little slow when browsing when you get to the bottom of the current page.

I have a few books that I'm selling so might give mycomicshop a try.

It's pretty typical for Priority shipping, I think if you wanted to do it up special there is a priority box that fits inside another Priority box that still makes room for padding. Not always necessary, I even had one recently double boxed like that recently that still got "damaged" with no signs on the outer box, which felt fishy, but benefit of the doubt kind of thing. 

In short, do they best you can within reason, and know that anything can basically happen  but to be able and say, "you did all that you could do!" It goes a long way  

For more expensive books that are a few hundred dollars is shipping USPS Priority Mail fine or do you go with UPS or FedEx?

I'm glad they delayed it, but they need to raise the threshold or set it back to what it was before. I'm assuming they delayed it because people were complaining especially how low the threshold is compared to last year.

Is shipping slabs via Priority Mail the cheapest option on eBay? I got a bunch 1095 Priority Mail boxes which fits a slab pretty well and allows for alot of packing material to protect the slab.

I set offer minimums on my books I have listed on eBay just so I don't have to deal with low ball offers. As someone who buys a lot of slabs on eBay when I see a book listed for way over market price I would message the buyer if they are taking comp prices before I even put in an offer.

Apparently ME is growing like crazy. I sent one recently and will get my returned book from the buyer who is not happy with CCG case that has few debris inside.

I had a similar issue with reholder submission. There was a pretty big piece of plastic that must have been part of the case loose inside the holder.

Cool find and I'm assuming CGC would grade it even though Marvel said they never released?

I must have been one of the lucky ones because I preorder two CGC 9.8 books from them back when they were on eBay and they delivered. Haven't done business with them since and probably won't again based on some of these stories.

I believe there will be a small one. The market is tough at present, and people are getting more savvy about what they want and how much they can spend. As you can readily purchase a Gem Mint copy (10.0), most people will consider the potential resale value.

That said, if you simply want to own a Gem Mint copy to collect as it is your favourite video game, go with my blessing.

What do you think of God of War #1 with Amazon making a tv show?

Sins of Sinister cover is an instant classic. Outside of Batgirl he's done a bunch of covers of Emma Frost.

She had her own trading cards through Upper Deck that featured her artwork a couple of years ago called Marvel Anime that was really cool.

Artgerm is my favorite cover artist. Love his work. Does anyone know what his rarest variant cover is? Lady Death kickstarter variant?

They had some great variants. Hopefully, they come out of this alright.

Tough situation. I'd probably try and convince her of a reasonable price for the entire lot if she wants to get of them quickly.

Does anyone know what percentage of all graded books are a Gem Mint 10?

So much talk of a recession coming/already here that I'd probably wait and see if prices drop further.

Recently, got back my first CGC submission (Modern) and I had a couple of 9.4 and 9.6 and none of them had any grades. What is the protocal of when they would enter grader notes?
