  1. It's stylized. Whether you like the style or not does not make it suck. It's like saying Kirby sucked. Or Sienkewicz sucked. Or any number of artists that de-skill or stylize their work but have the chops to back it up. I certainly don't like it but it's obvious the dude knows how to illustrate.
  2. I'm in the same boat, here @joeypost. Mailed and received in early August and had no movement in the order page and questions have gone unanswered.
  3. Whoever got that copy of Overstreet yesterday, I hate you!
  4. I would love to hear more about CGC not using FedEx in California because FedEx is terrible and I’m in California ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  5. Who said that? Not for nothing, it’s a really great story and will probably always have some price memory built in.
  6. Is there any modern book that’s maintained it’s pre-movie hype price after release? UF4, maybe? Ignoring comic boom hysteria, of course.
  7. Can't speak to that particular person but many of the people who work at Heritage are also fans and collectors. The head of Movie posters at the Texas location has bought comics from me many times and a few of the people who work at the Bev Hills branch in LA have bid on art or music ephemera. Doubt it has much to do with flipping and more to do with being stoked on the same things you are.
  8. Same thing happened to one of my books a few months ago. It was not a high dollar or sentimental book so it didn't personally matter to me but seeing it happen to others is a bummmmmmer. Sorry, dude!
  9. Meant to respond to this earlier but got busy. That's a completely fair critique about the loops it can get into (especially the quest/character intro/battle subplots that happen a lot in serial manga). For me, the infrequency in which I read the series helped me either forget or not notice that. If you read it all in one shot, I bet it gets tedious - like how mid series Breaking Bad gets into loops that are tedious. But superficially, the visuals do a LOT of heavy lifting for series. Not sure what's in store for the series now that Kintaro has passed away but it's still sort of chugging along.
  10. Can’t recommend Berserk enough. The end of the Golden Age arc is one of the biggest gut punches I’ve ever read in comics. just solid character development, fantastic design, and horrifying action.
  11. Bumping these thangs. I just set a 2 year GPA low on the X-Men 94 so cheers to that! Also means that you can get books for cheap. Spawn 133 9.8 Newsstand! Darkhawk 43 9.8! Amazing Spider-Man 238 7.5 Q ASM 316 8.5 ASM 431 9.8 Batman 635 9.6 Captain America 6 9.8 Hulk 1 9.6 Silver Surfer 44 9.8 Help me set some new GPA lows! Except the Spawn. Spend a lot of money on that one, please.
  12. Yo gang! Have 12 slabs ending in a few days. The Darkhawk 43 9.8 is extra spicy! ASM 238 7.5 Q ASM 316 8.5 ASM 431 9.8 Batman 635 9.6 Captain America 6 9.8 Darkhawk 43 9.8 Hulk 1 9.6 Silver Surfer 44 9.8 Spawn 133 9.8 Newsstand! X-Men 94 4.5 X-Men 109 8.5 X-Men 120 9.2
  13. Dude. The way you write about yourself on these boards, you are constantly (at the same time) the greatest victim and the greatest champion. Your persecution complex is only matched by your weirdly high self-image. Add some religiosity and conspiratorial thinking (which you do - often) and you would be one hell of a cult leader.
  14. Anyone having luck cracking the new magazine slabs? Have some pointers?
  15. I don’t think they tried to convince everybody. It’s seems more like low information people saw slabs selling higher than their raw books and assumed getting something grading increased the value - not figuring the why the value was increased. I see it everyday on Facebook and Reddit where people ask the same questions about whether they should slab their mid grade uncanny 300.
  16. Band-aids that CGC doesn’t even allow - unless you permanently change your return address to a Walgreens. I would LOVE to be able to redirect my packages through CGC and not have to cross my fingers that some idiotic work around helps solve a problem that CGC created.
  17. Update: package was left at my apartment door and they signed for it. No knock. Definitely not a single driver issue, either. This happened when I lived in florida, too.
  18. I sent my first batch of raw books last week and I’ll see how they do. Expecting some downgrades but it’s stuff I have like, $1 in so it doesn’t matter all that much.
  19. I want to keep bumping this because FedEx is SO terrible and CGC sucks for using them. This is now the 4th submission in a row where I get a notification that my package from CGC is being delivered on X date and they just never show up. I get a "we tried to deliver" message and they 100% did NOT. Repeat that for 3 days until the last day where they just leave it at my front door with no signature.
  20. One of my auctions on MCS just set an all time GPA low this afternoon
  21. I’m confused about the fake beef comment. What do you mean it isn’t food? Can you eat it? Does it have nutritional value? I wouldn’t ever live solely on Beyond burgers but it is 100% food in literally every definition of the word.
  22. Was gonna say - this doesn’t sound like a young person being entitled. If you’ve ever worked retail or costumer service, it’s rare to have an irrationally demanding costumer that’s young. The belligerent crowd is almost always 50+.
