I have a Secret Wars 8 that I sent in for a custom label. It was separated from the other 4. And I don’t believe it was accidentally switched either. I think someone working there has sticky fingers and didn’t think this switch would be caught. Is there a number I can call to talk to someone or will CGC Mike have someone contact me? I saw in some other posts that he has been helpful to many people. But overall, these threads do not speak highly of CGC customer service. So frustrated about this. My book was so much nicer than the one returned which was a 9.6 so I’m pretty confident I had a 9.8 stolen from me. 

The only reason to switch the books purposely is to upgrade, so yes if it is NOT the same book a fair assumption is that the original book was nicer. Is there a wolf in the henhouse at CGC?

is the OP dylan? Because this type of thing could ruin cgc. If, you know, it had not already been on the road to ruin as it was already.

Could have been swapped out by accident at any point along the way,

I like to think the best of people, but this book was swapped on purpose. Unless there were multiple copies in the same submission and the OP is fooling us, but how do similar copies cross paths unless on purpose? as stated above they don't sort them according to issue so why would they even come into contact with other books much less the exact same issue.

@CGC Mike any thoughts?

Is this Bill Sienkiewicz?

I believe (but may be wrong) that gpa COULD scrape the data but respects clink's desire not to do so.

cfp updated

working on books from beginning of the year I am early February with some fun fun books. Moon Girl gets a make-over!!!

I used to be on his list years ago, back when you had to be a member of his yahoo group or something and Robert curated the list. Brian said he really liked my idea but it never got done and I lost contact with the list. Good to know he is taking a list at shows, I may have to see what I can do to get in his line somewhere and get my idea done. (Nuff said)

The Grendel omnibi seem pretty cheap and available. While I've certainly been aware of the character for decades I've never sat down and read through the series. Is this worth reading?

oh yes

I am more a Csonka guy though is we are talking running backs built like machinery. Walter Payton is my RB...I favor the slashers like Sweetness, Sanders, Sayers, OJ.

OHOTMU?

I just went to my CAF, which is much smaller these days. Bus has been passed by BWS Storyteller page 8454 to 8489.  It wasn't Weapon X, that only has 1989

While I don't know the answer to this question in general, I do know that the most *viewed* pieces in my collection are my three nude Loki commissions.  Which does not match my most commented or most favorited pieces.

for a long time the most viewed piece in my gallery was a piece titled BUS by Andy MacDonald. It is a bus. IIRC 2nd most was a MCP Weapon X page by BWS I had up to 900/1000 pieces at one point and Bus was always king of the junkyard. I never figured it out

Rogue needs to come to the MCU and steal Carol Danvers powers!

I liked Captain Marvel and look forward to The Marvels (Kamala Khan show was very fun and I also like Captain Marvel/Photon as a character as well as Teyonah Parris' portrayal and want to see that character power up to what she was in the comics), I have no strong feelings about Brie/Carol Danvers. I do think Brie gets too much hate but do think Rogue is the perfect answer here. They can even use Anna Paquin if they want, she would likely enjoy the flying, super strong invulnerable version of the character. Brie goes dark for a few movies and they can film a "wake-up" scene now and use it later if they want.

down to 199 already! Off to cook some Thai Chicken, yum yum yum

down to 192 and I even added one or two more!!! w00t w00t

(Nothing heating up though, just low level sales)

saw it the other night. Bale was excellent and I see why he was upset that so much of his performance was cut. I want to see him scrape those religious markings off! I too want to see the more serious movie with more Gorr. This won't be seen again. Jane Foster looked great as Thor and Valkyrie is growing on me but the tone is horrible. Naked Thor was funny though.

And Sif back...for nothing really. I don't find the humor as disrespectful to the characters, they are fictional after all, but this part with Sif just made her into an insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

do not try to cut it or separate them yourself.

I don't know how they grade it but I do know you'll get slammed if you try and change it now.

Got it. Thx again Mike.

They prefer "Thank you sir may I have another!"

I see the ecolonostomy tier continues to be actively discouraged via TATs. Shame, it is an odd approach to a collectible market...one tiny segment ostracized due to algorithms showing it to be less profitable. Unless you have another $15 of course. It cannot be a coincidence that the economy TAT is a calendar year, same length as a paid membership as any longer would prove challenging...how can you ask for money for the right to a service that takes longer to provide than you get for signing up? CGC will find a way I'm sure.
