Only 22 copies to be filled in my collection.

No, I am plainly fine.

When I refresh the page, suddenly I am on the different thread. Did it happen to you before? Sometimes, it happened to me.

No sideways. How's about this one?

Not tonight.

Fixed for ya.

I bought raw copies from HA without any problems until they ceased to provide the scans of the back covers in few years ago. I returned 4 out of 6 books. Those were great deals but the defects bummed out without the scans of the back covers.

Then please fix this if you can!

Let me be clear. My uncle was losing to the competitors and decided to sell his company to get the money. Two CGC founders made a fortunate. My uncle used to own 5% of his former company. Now it is long gone. Just a bad timing for him. I believe two CGC founders have a good timing, keep 15% stake and made a BIG fortunate. I just wonder how long they will keep the stake but I don't have a crystal ball with me. I really hope Blackstone keeps the company in a long run. Simply I don't like the changes in the company.

Just an example. Two founders have 15% of the company.

He lived in SF area when the recession was hit hard in 1993 then 2007. He lost most of his giant money in the stock market. He gave his first house to his ex-wife (the house was valued at about $550,000 before 1993 recession). He owned $750,000 house in Walnut Creek before 2007 economic crash and he kept paying his monthly mortgage was more than the value of his house (it went down to about $400,000). It sank and he didn't want to lose more money to the mortgage so he left the house keys in the house and informed the bank that he walked away from it. Now you know that he lost most of his giant money to the stock crash, one to his ex and a foreclosure.

Since I was rejected, I have so many questions that are gone unanswered. No idea. I know one former grader decided to leave the company so he can buy and sell.

I was told that I cannot sell due to the conflict of interest but I am allowed to buy them.

I was rejected for no reason before Blackstone acquired it.

CGC has 20 graders now. 5 teams. They have graded 5,000 books per day. That is about 250 books per grader. Sometimes, they have to work in overtime and weekends even they have back up/part-time graders.

My uncle was a millionaire and Air Cargo (SF area) founder before he sold 95% of his company to other company and he owned 5% stake of the his company. For only next five year, his former company was dissolved. He was bought out. Now, he had nothing left.

Oh cruel....

Rip Van Winkle time.......

Ok --- TMI, I decided to give up on Frosty.

I used to own multiple Bone #1 - from 9.0 to 9.8. Sold $550 for 9.0 and $5950 for 9.8. Also, I waited for Bone movie since 2008. Jeff Smith is still not willing to see Bone any differences from his storyboard so he has given difficult times with all different producers while the price has risen on #1. I happened to have the last copy at 7.5 Qualified but it goes straight to CGC for re-grading. Hopefully it will be 8.0. I know it takes a lot of patience but Jeff Smith is "pain in *ss" for holding it up. Hopefully Usagi Yojimbo movie will make Jeff Smith to say it's a green light for his movie soon.
