  1. Raising old scotch glass with a cigar in the other hand, while standing at the head of a long wooden meeting table we are all seated at, on the top floor of some dusting company building. "HERE HERE! Old Chap! Agreed..."
  2. @The Lions Den, this makes since. I figured this is what was going on. However, the comics look similar in thickness size so it was confusing. @ThothAmon, I removed the QR code and census # from the picture. The CGCs series do have QR codes.
  3. Very new to owning slabs and noticed the attached difference in 3 slabs I just received. I highlighted the issue in a red box. What is the reason for 2 of these comics (outer left and right) to have the clear plastic near the spine, but the comic in the middle of this photo does not have this? What is the clear plastic for? Thanks...
  4. This is a reprint of a 6 book series, each with its own book. This particular exclusive was created, but with #1 and #2 inside. I do not know why. I am sure the publisher has their reasons.
  5. How is the publisher misleading? I don't understand. Unless the process is to read the publication page and print whatever it says. I do not know what CGC's process is for determining the title of a book. Looking at the inside publication page? I would think this would be a minimum step on virgin covers. Are there other steps taken? This is why I am asking. However, I do not have a picture of the inside publication page to know how the book was described or titled by the publisher. I bought this pre-slabbed. Is it possible to get this changed to read Junkyard Joe #1 and #2?
  6. I have a Junkyard Joe #1 Bulletproof Metal Edition, virgin, exclusive, that has Junkyard Joe #1 as the title printed on the CGC label. However, the interior of the book actually contains Junkyard Joe #1 and #2. What governs what CGC puts as the title on the label? Having a label of Junkyard Joe #1 is misleading since #2 is part of this book. Your thoughts? Thank you, Kortoga
  7. The only reason the fox tells you it is normal to steal and eat the farmer's chickens is because it is the fox telling you, not the farmer, not the chickens, and not the grocery store that wants to buy the chickens.
  8. grendel013, I had no idea that was a process that could be done. Thank you for sharing, I will use that method! And was already thinking of purchasing a signed Opena, then traveling down the path for Remender. I am assuming Remender is easier to track down. man, thanks a lot!
  9. Yes, that comic is cool. However, I am trying to figure out what your post is saying. Is this comic available for sale somewhere? Do you own this comic? I have specifically wondered if I should purchase a 9.8 signed by Jerome Opena, then somehow get it signed by Rick Remender and re-graded. I have zero, absolutely zero experience in doing this. But everything is figureoutable and I don't mind trying!
  10. Thank you Hudson for the insight of your experiences. I know right now I have nothing of value to offer anyone here besides my motivation to be in this hobby and interact in the past services CGC offers and sells by purchasing products they have produced. And maybe one day transact directly with CGC with the services they offer. As you described, I am on the same journey you began (and everyone else). Cheers! and thank you!
  11. THANK YOU!!!! For letting me be a part of this community. I hope to be helpful to others.
  12. Copy that. I understand the process and the logic behind it, thank you for the really good explanation! I am looking for a specific signed comic and now I know that road or path is not a good one.
  13. As an update. I have literally been posting at CBCS forum with wanted posts "immediately" after signing in and becoming "authorized". This all happening after I got the 1 month ban from the wanted section and not allowed to enter because I might be a spammer or scammer. All I have to say is, for being forced to wait an entire month before I am granted access, this wanted section here at CGC better be this mystical fantastical place where members walk down golden streets and there are no scammers or spammers and members are dumping deals with each other that you need a secret VIP backdoor pass from security guards to get in. I have this small voice in the back of my head telling me this will not be the case.
