  1. My dad bought me comics every week from 1975-1978. He was a DC guy, so he rarely missed JLA, Superman, Batman, GL/GA etc. He was much spottier with Marvel and he hated the X-Men so I only got about 2 out of every five UXM. I slightly preferred marvel, but really loved both almost equally.
  2. Bob, you can correct me if I am wrong, but I am going to assume nearly all or all of yours were blue label, and that they were all vintage (meaning that CGC has graded plenty of them over the years and had plenty of time to fix any typos or problems with the labels). MG does a fair amount of SS stuff, and also a lot of Moderns. From my experience, CGC does much worse on these types of books for two major reasons: (1) Yellow labels require hand entering data for sigs and human error is MUCH more likely; and (2) Moderns are subject to having the entire label be completely wrong (wrong series, wrong volume etc.) and QC is not as familiar with them to make the error seem clear.
  3. I hope he does. There is probably more pent up demand for him than anyone. The X-Men, Avengers, Charlton, MTU books from the 70's would just be incredible.
  4. Boston as well. It will be interesting to see what his signing policies will be.
  5. That's pretty dismissive and rude. MG has always respectfully expressed his displeasure with QC without bashing or being a jerk. CGC's QC problems will not get any better if folks who have problems do not professionally and respectfully air their legitimate beefs.
  6. I see what you are talking about. It looks like it has a little bit wider seal around the edge. Nothing to worry about.
  7. If photobucket still worked, I could link a picture of Margot and I. She was very eccentric, but a very kind and sweet woman when I met her. Deepest Sympathies to her family.
  8. People do this all the time. They will get a blank signed and then have an artist (like Frank Kadar or Ash Gonzalez) do a photo-realistic drawing of the actor/actress in the role that you are dealing with. Often they have the artist draw over the logo, so it ends up being immaterial. If you check the 2018 sketch cover thread, you will see many mind-blowing examples of this.
  9. $100-$150 definitely does not seem too low.
  10. You guys are doing amazing things and building community at the same time. It's like 2008 all over again. Really nice work, gents.
  11. As long as the documentation is in place, it will retain the designation. I have had a couple of minor Pedigree books signed over the years - a Winnipeg Omega #1 and one of the Western Penn Nick Fury #1s (there are several). Both had been recognized on the previous slab, and I indicated as such on the paperwork for the SS books. Both retained their designation. There are a couple of books that will lose their designation - Mile High II will go away because it is no longer recognized by CGC. I believe that there are some books with a Manitoba designation that will also not be retained, but I am not positive about that (old age is a beeyotch).
  12. The complaint on its face describes a classic fraudulent transfer scenario (not that I am suggesting this is what happened): Company A owes Company B money for whatever reason. Company A doesn't want to pay. Company A sells all of its assets to Company C and tells Company B to "go pound salt, get your judgment, we don't own anything." Company B files an action seeking to set aside the sale as it was done, not for a legitimate business purpose, but for the purpose of defrauding (putative) creditors.
  13. Buying an entity's assets, in and of itself, proves nothing about the underlying solvency of the entity itself. The filing of a creditor's bill, receivership or bankruptcy does. Solvent companies have all or substantially all of the constituent assets purchased by outside interests all the time. Many states, however, have bulk sales laws that require companies to notify creditors and state agencies before any bulk transfer can be effectuated I pass no judgment on the solvency of Voldy as I have no idea, but lest anyone be confused, the type of sale (stock vs. assets) has nothing to do with solvency.
  14. Me too. But I sure am glad I caught this one!! Whew!!!
  15. In most jurisdictions you don't get pain and suffering or "hassle and ordeal" damages for a breach of contract. You should get yourself as close to whole as possible, get out and never look back. Don't step over dollars to pick up pennies. I'm sorry you had to deal with this. --Sean.
  16. That all started when one of them wanted to include the P-I-F on the Probation List. What a Shineola Show that was.
  17. Pressing is not going to help that book - AT ALL. Grade it if you want to. Don't press it.
