  1. Those are some awesome monsters Mr. Lee came up with
  2. Cool, hopefully see you there. I'll be the only kid buying comics there, can't miss me (thumbs u
  3. When will you be there until? I'll plan my day around it
  4. You should bring this book to the show on Sunday. I would love to look at it in person!
  5. Greg, how the heck are you getting books in the mail? Nothing for me yet.
  6. Greggy is impressed??? Now I'M impressed!
  7. Might be a small stain or interior rip. Nice book regardless!
  8. In general I don't like the idea of CGC grading modern books as I consider them common in high grade. There are lots of people building high grade CGC modern sets who would disagree with me. As a general rule it doesn't make sense to pay for grading on a book that will be worth less than the cost of grading. The newer the book the higher the grade needed to justify the cost. Check ebay, clink, heritage, dealer sites and GPA (a web service that tracks sales of CGC graded comics-google gpa comics) to establish what a book sells for at a certain grade. awesome advice! i do get my rarer modern variants and con exclusives graded, but it will be some time before i even consider starting a modern set - although they are impressive. to me it's too high of a financial commitment without a possibility of getting your return back if something happens... say your wife gets pregnant! I follow thehumantorch's basic idea behind it, though all of my slabs are Modern. If you can't make your money back on it, don't slab it. IMO, 90% of Moderns (minus keys obviously) are only worth something in 9.6-9.8, wiith 9.8's being the only real money-makers. I personally say if it's a sure-fire 9.8 that's not too overpopulated on the census, sub it.
  9. Dry mount press... So like a t-shirt press?
  10. Thanks for filling in the blanks and responding to my post. Your taking the time to provide so much info is defintiely appreciated. I am thinking about switching over to Gerbers for my keeper books...it would be a pricey proposition but definitely considering it (thumbs u With all the drek you buy Heath, the Gerbers would be more valuable than the books! ouch baby, very ouch I'm just looking for negative attention. How self-aware of you!
  11. It took me a second to realize what you had changed.
  12. Beautiful books RMA! Question, How do you generally like to submit books? Like, was this a group of 30? Are they pressed? I'm still trying to wrap my head around a good, economical way to submit.
  13. Pretty much. Not that I would have taken part, anyway. You were in the skull and bones club at one time doug. You made choices. Yeah, I decided not to be taken advantage of anymore. The company is better outside the club. I'm guessing there's a story behind this?
  14. You must be pooping out 9.8's. Where do you find these books? i'm old. when i bought them, neither they nor i were. Amazing books.
  15. RMA, what are your views on submitting Valiants from that era? I recently came into a collection with a ton of those, some of which are 9.8s.
