  1. The only thing I would add to the tiers is a Liefeld Tier @ $500. Because no one should have to look at his art for very long.
  2. If this book comes back as a 4.0, GPA is right about $400 right now.
  3. I slabbed two Batman 181. Both came back 4.0, so, I'm in the slab it group.
  4. Yeah, it's a "real" bargain now.
  5. I think he lifted the picture from this listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-1-cgc-9-0-1940/372487103568?hash=item56b9f62450:g:gTMAAOSwI59aFyta Edit: Just notified the E-Bay seller.
  6. Got my Killing Joke top spot back this year after losing out last year. WooHooo!
  7. Obviously, this guy did not read Major X Disaster. One of the worst written books I've ever read.
  8. Me and my brother did the greeting cards. We sold the samples they sent us and we kept the money. So, I guess we did make some money at selling them.
  9. Picked these (and some others, a couple weeks ago. Was driving to home depot and saw a guy up the street from me having a garage sale. Saw 2 BCW short boxes, so, i stopped on the way back home from home depot. About 320 books in all, less than 20 cents each.
  10. Go here https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/
  11. Hooters didn't learn after the Toy Yoda lawsuit?
  12. I signed up for it awhile back. Don't remember when. I've never bought anything there, but, seems like it is ok.
  13. I think in 442 he was not officially called Robin, as he just tried on the costume.
  14. Looking back thru my records, The DC Comics Presents was purchased from Kramerica, back in 2011. Didn't realize it was that long ago. He had it listed as a 9.4 and not a 9.6 as I previously thought, so, that takes some of the sting out.
  15. Yes there are some winners. I sent them in on 3/17 and got them back on 7/5, so just under 4 months. CCS took the longest amount of the time they were there. I am not unhappy with the grades. I thought I looked them over pretty well, except for the Devil Dinosaur and the Bane. Those were last minute adds. Only one I am disappointed in, really, is the Tec 880. Can't believe I missed that crease, as small as it was. Not saying it wasn't there before I sent it in, but, if it was, I missed it. Really thought it had a shot at 9.9. The Devil Dinosaur was the biggest surprise of the bunch. I thought it was about a 9.2/9.4 and was hoping for a 9.6 bump. Real happy to see it come back as a 9.8. Usually my submissions are pretty spot on to what I was thinking. This was the worst submission I have had in that regards, but, I wasn't that far off on most of the grades, so, all is well. Some are for my collection (KJ 3rd print 9.8, Devil Dinosaur 1 9.8, and X-men 101 8.5), the others may end up for sale.
  16. Just got droped off by the USPS a little while ago. Happy on some of the grades, saddened by a couple, and surprised by one. Was happy to get one of the Killing Jokes back in 9.8. Needed that one for an upgrade to the registry set. The ASM212 they hit hard on foxing Detective Comics 880, a bit disappointed, but, I missed a corner bend that breaks color. Really small one. The Vengeance of Bane had a readers crease along the spine. Was a late addition to the submission, so, while disappointed, not that upset The Hulk I thought would come back at least a 9.4, possibly 9.6 DC Comics presents, bought it off the boards as a 9.6, so, a bit disappointed, especially after it being pressed by CCS The Devil Dinosaur was a surprise. Another last minute addition to the submission. Was thinking 9.6 at best after press. Invaders is what I thought, but, hoping for a bump to 9.6 Batman Mad Love I thought was going to lock in at 9.8. Whoops, guess not. The X-men 101 was hoping for a bump, as I had it at 8.5 before the press. The other X-men 101 is a really nice looking 4.5, was hoping for around a 6/0/6.5 neighborhood
  17. 9 weeks still sitting at received. 12 weeks at received. Just received an e-mail that 2 books were rejected for pressing due to embossed covers. I figured this may happen, but, PROGRESS!!! Scheduled for grading - 6/19 Grading / Quality Control - 6/28 Finalized / Imaged / Shipped - 7/1 Happy with a couple of grades, surprised by one, and puzzled by a couple, especially since they were supposed to have been pressed. Things that I thought would have pressed out and a couple things that I must have missed or happened while at CGC. I went thru these books pretty closely and don't recall seeing a couple of things. Such is life and the grading game. Post Office Expected delivery - 7/5

  19. Bought a DD (supposedly a GD+ 2.5) that got graded as a 1.8 for $270. Sold it for $380 + shipping to Thailand, Edit Oh yeah, bought it in March 2011, sold it in April 2012. Just a couple weeks over a year, but, close enough.

  21. What are the chances of that happening???? Must be something like a 1 in 1 chance
  22. Think you somehow grabbed the wrong link, is all I can think of. This one looks like the right auction https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-MEN-134-HIGH-GRADE-NM-9-4-1ST-APPEARANCE-DARK-PHOENIX-MOVIE-OUT-NO-CGC-/202696924595?hash=item2f31ad9db3%3Ag%3A174AAOSwiJVc4J2U&nma=true&si=ZtkrrWNzMU3AzVcyNPowBZ0ZBSI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
