  1. The store between 7th and 8th ave didn't put the limit sign up until about 8:30AM. They let me keep the two I had in my stack of books because I got in under the wire. It probabaly didn't hurt that I spent about $100 either.
  2. Mine are getting slabbed as we speak.... same here (thumbs u
  3. Out of 6 invoices submitted in late August, the books for 4 of them have arrived at Comic Connect (Metro) this week. The books that have arrived are all modern books. In addition to the 3 invoices where I had received an posted many of the grades here, I received the following grades on the fourth invoice: ASM 300 9.6 Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 1 9.6 Comico Primer 1 9.2 Detective Comics 575 9.6 I think the 2 remaining invoices are value tier, I remember I submitted some Dotty Dripples that I haven't gotten back yet.
  4. I remember hating the artwork on this one. Had a bad case of buyer's remorse after picking it up at a convention in the 80s.
  5. 1. Psychotic socio-path 2. Mysterious 'superhero' figure 3. Mass chaos (think Joker) 4. Mass murder (think Hannibal Lecture minus cannibalism) 5. High end suspense thriller (think SE7EN) You forgot: 6. Not for cat lovers
  6. Chew is certainly easier to spell than Panzerfaust.
  7. No one stopped Madder Red. The First just bore witness to the mayhem.
  8. I was curious because the rest of us unwashed masses can't get the grades until the invoices are marked as "Shipped". Aaaaaand, there's the payoff folks. So some submitters can get grades before a book ships? Am I reading the last few posts incorrectly? Don't want to look like a conspiracy nut to all the apologists. I think you're just jealous. Anyone can consign their books to Comic Connect (Metro). It's cheaper than using ebay.

  10. Yes, I got grades on all of the books on the first three invoices. I just listed the 9.8s because I was excited about them. The two low grades were Cry for Dawn 1 (2nd print) 9.2 and Uncanny X-men 138 8.0. There were four other 9.8s and everything else came back 9.6 so far.
  11. Could you see the grades on the website? Did they tell you on the phone? Or could you just tell from the website that they passed a pre-screen? I submitted the books under Metropolis's account. They were able to look up the invoices to see the grades on the ones that were completed. So the books had been shipped? None of them are shipped yet. On a hunch, I called Metro and asked them to look up the invoice numbers. Who called and got the grades? I called Metro, I think they looked up the grades online and sent a copy to my e-mail.

  14. My 8/31/12 submission included six invoices (78 books in total). So far 3 of the 6 invoices (all moderns so far) have been graded. None of them have been shipped yet but I did get the grades. So far the 9.8s include: Chew 1 Walking Dead 10, 12, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33 Chew 2 (x2) New Mutants 98 Thief of Thieves 1 & 2 Kick 1 Sketch Cover Variant Chew 3 Uncanny X-Men 133 Secret Wars 8 Hit Girl 1 Sketch Cover Variant Incredible Hulk 340 (x2) Fatale 1 Still no 9.9s or 10.0s for me yet.
  15. For anyone that has not seen it yet, here is a link to the preview for WD 106: WD 106 Preview The next couple issues should be interesting to say the least.
  16. At the New York Comicon they had an exclusive cover for the Walking Dead magazine that came with an art card signed by Robert Kirkman. I had Kirkman sign my copy of the magazine for CGC signature series. I just found out that it will be coming back with a 9.8 grade for yellow label. The only problem is that I can't find any comparables on ebay or elsewhere so I thought I would ask here. Any ideas about where I should price the magazine and art card if I sell them as a set? Thanks in advance.
  17. +1 I was impressed as well. I got the last copy from a store that had ordered 30 copies.
  18. that cursed pirate girl was a raw signed 4th printing. 1st print raws are up in the $75 range. Looked too good to be true.
  19. Cl My guess is to compensate for the demand for Negan pages. Given what has happened with Governor pages, I think Mark is trying to be ahead of the curve and get full value for these pages. Close, the pages are more expensive because he has to pay half of the proceeds to Negan as tribute.
  20. At NYCC in October I made one large submission of modern books, another submission with 15 signature series books, and a third submission of 3 signature series magazines. None of these submissions were fast tracked. For whatever reason the three magazines are graded. All three came back 9.8. When I asked about the other submisions I was told that one was on "clown shoes" and the other was on "you gotta be kidding me".
  21. I shopped around and think this is the best deal (for me anyway). I ordered 200 B&B and thought the price was great (priority shipping as well). Check him out... http://www.ebay.com/sch/mhetzler/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=50&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2654 Ryan Prices looked good to me as well. Ordered 1,000 with free shipping. Got $2.36 ebay bucks to boot. Thanks for the heads up.
  22. Some of us are angry because this thread is being hijacked into a pressing thread. Pressing is not the problem. It's a conflict of interest. Is it? I'm conflicted. I would much rather talk about the 7 month grading back up. I currently have a submission from June 6th which is not even scheduled for grading yet. Maybe Matt can do some grading.
