  1. I got back into the hobby, after a few years out of it. I saw these slabbed books on E-Bay and wanted to learn more about them. I looked at the other company first and then CGC. Then I found the message boards. Hooked me like crack.
  2. Got my VCC books the other day and everything looks great. Great guy to deal with. Thanks again.
  3. Just an update on the US and Foreign editions I have found. Bold are ones I have and any help on tracking down others would be appreciated. And if you know of any others that are not listed, let me know so I can add them.

That is what the label on my recently submitted one says, although it does say 1st printing on the inside cover.
  4. Several reasons to de-slab and re-submit. 1. To get it signed and re-holdered as a Signature Series 2. Hope for a grade bump 3. To have it pressed and hope for a grade bump And i am sure there are many more reasons.
  5. They should buy the book back. Trim it themselves. Put it in a purple label. Then all would know for certain.
  6. Here's a short one: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3454212&fpart=1 Here's another short one http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=67513
  7. Indeed! I'm bringing 20 sketch-cover books with me. I'm here now for the Consumer Electronics Show... isn't the porn convention going on also?, Next week is the Adult Video Network awards show and convention at the Hard Rock.
  8. Anyone in Vegas, or coming to Vegas, next week, Larime Taylor will be making a visit to a couple of shops here. Wednesday, January 15th - Alternate Reality Comics - 4110 S. Maryland Pkwy. - 10am - 6pm Thursday, January 16th - Cosmic Comics - 3830 E. Flamingo Rd. - 10am - 6pm I heard he is supposed to bring some blank covers in.
  9. Broke him down and stripped him like a '78 Ford Pinto. At least the Pinto has some salvageable parts.
  10. Just received my submission on Monday. This was my coupon submission, was running out of time to use it, so, I grabbed some books and sent them in. Kind of surprised at the Submariner. Thought it would come back around a 5 - 5.5. Thought the Rachel Rising would be higher, but, after getting it back, it seems to have developed a lower right corner ding. Don't recall seeing it when I sent it in.
  11. Flawless transaction. Fast to pay and great communication.
  12. I'm sorry you paid $350 for a raw 6.0 IM 55. Yeah, they describe it as "Higher grade" I'd return it as item not as described as soon as that bad boy arrives and chalk this whole thing up as a lesson learned. This. (thumbs u How can you return it as item not described if it has no restoration? If it does have resto the a return seems reasonable. They coined it as Higher grade, what's that? 7.5-10 This is a Mid grade book. Maybe it was a higher grade than the other copies he has to sell?
  13. Wouldn't it be simpler to add them the regular PL, instead of creating a new one, and adding a comment that it was a PIF violation? It is done that way for off the board deals involving board members.
  14. My god that is awesome. If I ever own that many quality slabs, I would have to tell the wife that I got most of them really cheap at a yard sale... Doesn't everyone say that?
  15. Picked these up yesterday. Looks better than it does in hand. Has a subscription crease that doesn't really show in the scan. Has a stain on the B. Otherwise a very nice presenting copy.

  18. Added three foreign variants to my Killing Joke collection over the last few months. Still looking for some: Germany (Green Title) (Publisher - Panini Comics) Italy (Yellow and Orange title) Poland Finland Netherlands(Dutch) Serbian (Magazine size) Spain (2 publishers - Norma Editorial and Perfil) Mexico (Publisher - Editorial Vid) France (Publisher - Delcourt) Hungary Serbia (2 Publishers - Mentor and Phoenix Press) Sweden Peru (Magazine size) Brazil
  19. A pleasure to do business with. Shipped fast and safe. Thanks.
  20. I just got my 1-10 set back a few weeks back. All graded 9.8, including 2 #1 and a Ghost. Good luck on yours.
  21. Just got my 3/11/13 Modern submission in the mail yesterday.
  22. I have a copy I picked up for cheap because it is cover less. Still, a GL 76 is a GL 76.
  23. 3/11/13 Modern submission went to Shipped/Safe today. Grades are in, went 18 for 20 on 9.8s. Only one of them has me puzzled. Star Wars - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 2 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 3 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 4 -Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 5 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 6 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 7 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 7 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE - Ghost Variant Cover Saga - 8 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 9 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Saga - 10 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Revival - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Nowhere Men - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Peter Panzerfaust - 1 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Peter Panzerfaust - 2 - Modern - 9.2 - WHITE - I thought this was actually nicer than the #1. Have to see what I missed on it. Peter Panzerfaust - 3 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Peter Panzerfaust - 8 - Modern - 9.8 - WHITE Peter Panzerfaust - 9 - Modern - 9.6 - WHITE - Not too upset on this one, but, I thought it would be a 9.8.
