  1. I take Disney stock long-term over them. Disney has been very good to me! +1 I'm at +168% return on my Disney stock. That plus the dividend. I love trading stock. But I only go for long term investment. Always look at dividend. Stocks with no dividend is a no go for me. (Of course look at other stuff too) Just bought some SEAS stock. The massive drop is a dream for long term investment. Dividend over 4% and the stock will adjust upwards in a couple of months. (I could be wrong, but that's the risk. Even if I think minimum risk on this one.) With Disney owning Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar and ESPN the future looks good. (thumbs u What is the name of the stock that Disney owns? I prefer this one over Alibaba.
  2. I have Spectacular Spider-Man #9 double cover. It's NM condition. I will plan to submit it to CGC whenever I can.
  3. Graders do not go to most shows unless it is on-site grading. CSRs being away doesn't help what you want. The graders are going to the shows too. I talked with the leader at the show last April. The half stays and other half go. Yup that is correct at the upcoming Pittsburgh show next weekend half the graders will be there. I think there are only four grading onsite this year: Mega Con (Florida), Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago is the only one that has four day show. The cutoff is Saturday early afternoon. The rest are lasting only three days. I think the cutoff is Friday night so no one can pick up their books after the cutoff. Pretty pressure upon the graders. I always thought it made more sense to have two teams. "A" team will go to the show. "B" team will stay at CGC building. Next show, "B" will go there while "A" team stays. All turnarounds will never be delayed. Paying the fast track fee is nonsense.

  5. I checked the first post on this thread. There was usually 100+ business days turnaroud. The few last posts showed 40 to 60 business days turnaround during the high peak this year. The first post was back in 2012. It shows little improvement on the time management. I think CGC still needs hiring more people to speed up the process. Maybe they need two teams. One team will be at the show while other team stay at the building in Sarasota. It will never delay on all turnarounds again. I have only one book that was mailed recently to my dealer. Wait until the high seasonal is over then I will send my books in November. I don't have to wait or keep checking on my order status.
  6. You are not alone. I had the same reason and didn't look back. Gladly I did. Thanks for reminding me how I ended up here ever since. That banner ad led me here. Thanks CGC.
  7. Not bad. It is better than three years ago (8 to 12 weeks waiting).
  8. Will it work on PC or Mac? That is a N00B question!
  9. CGC Census shows 149 graded comic books for Cerebus #1. Whooping 6842 graded books for Hulk #181. Many raw grade copies are always selling on ebay everyday. From 9.9 to 9.0, there are 1851 graded books for Hulk #181 included Qualified, SS and Restored. There are only 2 at 9.4 and 4 at 9.0, 3 at 9.4 SS, 3 at 9.2 SS, 5 at 9.0 SS and one restored at 9.0. That is the total of 18. How often do you see Cerebus #1 on eBay? Not very often. I sold one raw grade copy and three CGC copies of Cerebus #1 since 2009. I sold Hulk #181 seven times since 2009. Right now, it is too expensive to buy Hulk #181 at any grade - too many competitors are after it. MSC recently sold Hulk #181 1.0 for $375, 1.5 for $450 and 3.0 for $750. I would afford Cerebus #1 because of the few competitors. I bought it for only $325 and got CGC 7.5 that was sold for $665 via Comiclink last year. So few high grade Cerebus copies are hardest to get. You won't see them for a long time. I can understand why Overstreet gave Cerebus the high value over Hulk 181 because of rarity in high grade. I have no problem to find Hulk #181 between 9.0 to 9.6 anywhere at anytime.
  10. Very strange. One guy recently asked me if I still had Bubble Variant CGC 9.8 SS signed by Nate. I told him that I sold it for $220 in May 2013. I have been wondering why I don't get any newer Nowhere men issues ever since even I am on the subscription from my LCS. Is Nate screwing up something with his health or mental?
  11. I never had or read GI Combat #86 but that cover reminded me of the story in Weird War Tales #1. Is that story in GIC #86 same one in WWT #1?
  12. Yeah, I was almost flipped out but I still stood on my feet and looked hard at the cover. Realized it was reproduced.
  13. You didn't keep a copy Andy? Sadly, I did not. I am shocked too.
  14. It has been quiet. Lin Pictures has Jeff Smith's movie right. I consistently checked with boneville.com to see if there are any recent updates on developing the Bone movie. It came empty. The last update was 2012. Do you have any brightest idea of whenever the Bone movie comes out? I don't think it will ever happen in few more years. Jeff Smith may slow it down or the production company keeps frog-leaping the Bone movie projects with other movie projects. What is your thought?
  15. I sold WD #1 for 9 times. Three 9.8s Three 9.6s (both signatures series) One 9.2 (signature series) One 9.2 One raw copy (it looks 9.4) There was no difference in prices as far as I remembered both have black and white Mature Readers.
  16. I waited for the next issue and always wanted to know what happened next but this may be uncompleted. I felt like that I was cut off since Atlas Comics went bankrupt. Planet of Vampires, Ironjaw and all other books were gone uncompleted.
  17. Now, your information convinced me to keep the book. Thanks for this!
  18. Looked like Alan wrote last two letters that got sloppy. I believe mine should be legit. I hope. I have 14 days to return it back to the dealer.
  19. All signatures seemed legit but the middle seemed the signature was pressed down. I just wondered if you have them. Do you see any signatures are pressed down?
  20. Will you able to confirm this certificate and signature that are authenticity? It's a first time that I have it in my hands. Luckly, I have the past experience in the printing and graphic design before Internet. Also, I did my homework about Mircaleman #1 Gold Edition. Please confirm this is authenticity. Mircaleman #1 has a common crease printing on the front cover: The signature on the first page: The ink bleed and embossed signature on the second page: The certificate has glossed ink that light reflects: The numbered marks do not reflect:
