My LCS in Victoria BC said they had only ordered 5 copies to begin with as no one had wanted any at FOC. They got shafted and got no copies.

I appreciate everything you have contributed to this thread. I've read all 390 pages and have followed all your discoveries with great interest. You've gone above and beyond anyone else in this whole scandal. In the end, what I think about the AC situation is meaningless. All I believe is that the explanation he gave makes sense if your original comment(s) did indeed have a URL in it. Still doesn't mean he is telling the truth but YT does auto-delete any comments with URLs and they don't notify the content provider when they do.

I remember. FWIW, Ryan addressed that in a subsequent video and gave his side of the story. Believe him or not, I found his explanation genuine. Ryan is correct that YT auto-deletes comments with links in them which as you can see from that linked post Comicwiz's comment on Ryan's YT video had.

Guy is a dope. We've already seen that he, as Automatic Comics, stole info from comicwiz in his comments, deleted them,, and stated it was his discovery Automatic Comics (Ryan) and Sticky Goose are two totally different people and totally different YT channels.

Thanks for sharing that GPA data. I don't subscribe to GPA anymore so was using GoCollect and most of those sales are strike-through best offers on GoCollect so I wasn't getting a fair picture of the recent sales. It was interesting that a lot of the recent sales were on the 350 list.

ASM 300 in 9.6 sold for the lowest it has since ~July 2020. $750.

Prices were certainly down on most 181 and 194s yesterday at HA. Although a 194 had sold a bit lower in November. Hard to separate out the continued general decline in prices from any effect the scandal may be having on them.

I guess if they do have scans of all graded books going back for years then they could just compare covers of the questionable books to the scans without opening to see if the MVS or tattoos are there. The MJI you should be able to see from the side without opening. I know the 99newstand mentioned there is another way to tell if a book is MJ without opening it.

Just saw on IG that GoCollect has the Cert Lookup feature working now so you can type in the # and see all sales of that cert with the usual high-res photos!!

I assume this is a different "Comic Station" 9.9 did talk about all this way back in the beginning on one or more of the Davengers YouTube live shows.

$72,000

So far results at Heritage today show the market is very strong. Record sales on many books. Certainly no indication that this CGC scandal has had any effect on premium buyers. Even H181 sold strong although being a 9.8 probably helped as there has been no evidence of that high of grade involved in the scandal. Biggest takeaway.....early DC Batman and Detective are where to put your $$.

I also noted on their IG an image of a ASM 300 that has the CGC# photoshopped out. Yet most (all?) of their other slabs still show the serial #. Hmmmm....odd..... I wish the photo with the 6 ASM 300s had more resolution to read the numbers. The two with custom labels especially.

"Any fraudulent sales can be reported directly to GoCollect for removal from our database" That is the line I and others have issue with. Not the "remove the threat" line. Edit: I see GoCollect has responded on IG to Comicwiz and they state: "We agree these kinds of records should not be deleted. They will be segregated and removed only from impacting the valuation of a particular item" So all should be well.

I don't think so. Comicwiz thought there had but then corrected himself later on. He had missed it in his search by not including the hyphen in the search.
