    Quick picks: Terry McGinnis or Miles Morales ???

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted

    There is a Spider-Man 2 for PS5 due to be released in 2023 and a very good possibility to include Miles Morales again. May give the UF4 a decent boost, or at the least a short lived boost.

    “There are multiple foes. I can say the story very much continues and picks up from Marvel’s Spider-Man to Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales,”

    UPS delivered by books to CGC on the 9th, but CCG has yet to checkin my submission. I've experienced CGC checking in my books after the delivery "deadline" before, but it's the 18th now and I'm getting a bit worried that they misplaced my submission. Glad I'm not alone here, but I'm starting to get a bit worried. Hopefully they just have a backlog to get through. 

    Mine was delivered on 10/27 and still not checked in yet.

    A little concerned, but tracking shows they have it so, I guess it's just the waiting game.

    Ebay low balling

    You may be listing books with reasonable prices, but many sellers do not. It isn't unusual for eBay sellers to list books for many times what they are worth. That's especially true for raw books for which there is really no demand at all. I routinely see books that I would expect to see in the $3 bin at my local LCS priced at $50 or $100 on eBay.

    So much this.

    Someone had a raw comic listed for $90 with 'make an offer' active. (fair price on that comic) I offered $80 for it and the person immediately changed the price to $150 and made a counter offer of $145.

    Needless to say, I did not and will not do business with them.

    Are 9.8 downgrades common with signings?

    Hello,

    How common is it to submit graded 9.8s for signings and receive back a lower grade?

    This is my first time sending in slabs for signing and I keep seeing these stories of 9.8s coming back lower and it has me a little concerned.

    I sent in 2 9.8 Spawn #1s and a 9.0 Spider-Man 300 to the McFarland signing and a complete run of 9.8s Marvel Civil War (2006-2007) to the McNiven signing.

    I understand that that is a risk I take sending them in, but how common is it? 1 in 10? 1 in 50? 90%? etc etc.
