  1. It was bad. Not Daredevil bad, but in a way worse because of the nonsense science and computer voiceover....yeah they're housing electric eels to generate power for the city.....now that's GREEN, baby.....

     

    lol

     

    Thought it was decent but too ambitious...they could've just focused on one villain (the Green Goblin storyline) and made it seem less scattered. Seemed like two movies crammed into one.

    Hold on it took 15 business days from received to Scheduled for grading with the coupon!!!! The turn around currently says 15 days, wth?

     

    When was it verified?

     

    Can't remember...forgot to make a note of that but I think it was like a week before it went scheduled for grading

  7. Or just do like I do, remove all bids from usernames with <5 feedback on big item books or with <90% feedback.

     

    Haven't had problems yet. If i see an account with <5 feedback bidding over and over and over on my items i delete all his bids and block him, why? because chances are he is fake bidding and two, because it'll look like I'm shilling my own items. Easy as drinking beer.

     

    I had a bidder with private feedback show up at the end of one of my auctions and put a big bid in and the winner immediately sent me two messages accusing me of shilling :facepalm: Wish eBay would allow tighter limits on zero and hidden feedback bidders.

  9. Hmm tough call. I personally love Batman 11.. I think it's one of the better Batman covers.. Also detective 69 the classic double gun Black Joker cover. A classic Robinson cover. But hey, it's really all up to you.

     

    Brian

     

    Both awesome suggestions! Sweet covers...I'm looking to add two more single framed slabs to finish the batman wall. Any suggestions from my fellow batman fans/collectors?

     

    Looking at your awesome wall...I think a golden age Joker and Catwoman cover would look great. Agreed on the Batman 11 as the ultimate Joker cover...Batman 49 would work too. For Catwoman, I might go for Batman 65.

  10. Found this cool looking cabinet thing with 15 long, flat drawers sitting outside an antique store with a tag on it that said "for paper collectibles?". It looked to have been a former tool/hardware chest based on some of the junk I found in it, and was in rather rough shape. Here's initial state:

    Here's the repurposed finished product...a new paint job and added drawer handles on each drawer with sliders underneath. Lined the drawers with black felt, and filled them with some paper collectibles!

  11. Looks like they may be getting their Modern Submissions down a little...60 Day Current Turnaround

     

    Does that count the 4-5 weeks in encapsulation and QC?

     

    140 moderns sent in late April. Graded June 28. Stuck in Encapsulation Hell ever since with little hope they'll be done before August.

     

    It shouldn't take that long to encapsulate books, it really shouldn't.

     

    Have a value submission received on 5/6, went scheduled for grading 7/8 and graded 7/10. 15 business days later...still not shipped? Seems like they've improved the grading situation, but that has shifted the bottleneck to QC now. Surely improving QC bandwidth is an easier prospect than improving the grading turnaround was? I wonder how many orders actually make it through the QC/shipping process in a given day hm

     

    This value tier order went to shipped/safe on 8/6. A 3 month turnaround which roughly tracks with their estimate on the site. A pretty nice improvement from the 6 month turnaround not that long ago. If they get a little more QC help they might hit that 40 day target yet (thumbs u

  13. How long have books been staying "scheduled for grading"?

     

    Seems like longer than it's ever been in the past. Have a modern submission from 8/1 that went to "scheduled for grading" last Tuesday and is still parked there. Used to get graded within a couple days of hitting that state.
