I have a few of my prized slabs on display in my comic room. I was thinking about them fading over time and thought that maybe a UV sheet between the slab and the slab Mylar bag would provide UV protection.

You put your slabs in a Mylar bag?

 

I just sent off my first batch of books and I tried to make my best guess on the grades before I sent them. When they come back I'll see how close I got, if I'm off I'll know better what CGC is looking for and try to adjust my grading to comply. Your call for standards is right on, but I think CGC is it! They are the accepted standard and their value only increases as more collectors comply to those standards. Calling for wider grading and alleging conspiracy does more harm to the industry more than any 9.4 ever could.

 

 

And could I get that imaginary link to CGC's grading standards?

 

Why do you care? Isn't the lack of a public posting of CGC's standards one of the very bases of your whole "CGC Is Evil"-spiel?

Basis?

If CGC ever revealed their standards, they would get more respect, from me and a whole lotta collectors.

Please do not beat me up on this but how do I even know these are the books I sent?

I missed this line from his opening paragraph the first time... this was a gem.

 

But in fairness, this fellow was a model of restraint compared to the current loon in General.

 

 

I'll tell you though, I had a discussion about the same issue with some people at a local store and they were insistent that this is ow CGC stayed in business--making copies of the covers people sent, and selling the real ones elsewhere. It was about as stupid as you could find.

 

Which one? The one in Newington or Bristol?

 

Newington. Bristol uses PGX because it's cheaper and has a quicker turn around. I've explained to them a few times that PGX actually lowers the prices garnered but I guess they have a few loyal eBay customers so it hasn't really been an issue for them. I'm bummed though as Bristol hasn't had any new collections in almost 2 years now--no new back issues = little room for me to purchase

(I know I'm a bit late but ) please tell me you're talking about Omni and not Art at the Eye Opener.

Did they ever sell signed copies of these on The Home Shopping Network (or its ilk) and the "A" is for autographed, as mentioned? I remember seeing a lot of Advs of Supes # 500 (not platinum) with like 5 autographs on HSN.

 

Yo, yo, dewchebag for life! For shizzle.

 

What language is this posted in, please ??

I thought you'd understand it, it's in Douchebag

(BTW, that was pretty damn funny Dan, )

 

Ah, great to see that you haven't lost that warm bedside manner.

 

And I never will.

There are certain questions that I'm curious to learn the answers to: Who's doing the grading? Do they have experience with vintage movie paper and detecting resto?

I wondered the same thing when I saw all the photos they slabbed for JP the Mint. Don't remember ever getting an answer.

You know how I know you're gay..

 

Hey, I can cook and also design woman's clothes and I cry at movies.

 

...but tell me, how?

 

 

Because you like Coldplay.

I like coldplay

I'm gonna guess you haven't seen "40 Year Old Virgin"?

Thank you Krypto...Purchasing this Avengers #57 from you for $150. turned out to be an excellent deal for me. Turns out the book now graded as a CGC 9.2 is worth about $900.00 based on GPA sales .

When you got so worked up regarding the Avengers #57 scan I posted by accident, I contacted the gentleman I sold the book to and asked him " Had the gentleman on the boards actually purchased the Avengers #57 based on the wrong scan I posted, would you have sold it back to me and bailed me out" ? Turns out he picked up a 9.2 slabbed copy a week after buying my ( your old copy ) copy...so I bought your old copy back from him and sent it in for grading . Whew...sure was a lot of conversation about a simply mistake, however looks like it all worked out in the end...well for me anyway. Thanks again , thanks to you this is the best deal I have bought this year !

 

OK, so you supposedly take the "high road" apologize, and announce you are leaving for a while, but you are really watching the board instead (which can't exactly be healthy).

 

You then return, to gloat about something, that caused many people to be less than happy with you in the first place.

 

Would you kindly block me as a buyer on Ebay? Since there is no way to block sellers, I don't want to accidentally purchase something from you and have it in a thread later on.

Is there some kind of "List" we can get on?
