  1. I had two copies of Avenging Spider-Man #9, the other's a 9.8 too.
  2. Got this in today from my coupon submission I sent in 6 weeks ago before the movie announcements. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I bought it off eBay early last year for $80. I always wanted this book as a kid when I saw it in the Wizard top 10 every month in the early 90's, so it's been a long time coming.
  3. Got my coupon submissions back today, very happy with the result: And I'm glad to see CGC has started properly labeling AS #9:
  4. I just looked up recent sales of Harbinger #1 in 9.8, I was actually shocked at the upswing:
  5. EW #4 just has that single panel cameo on the last page, for me I'd still rather put my money into Rai #0. One, it has Bloodshot on the cover, and two, it's a full appearance. Full disclosure, I own multiple copies of both, and looked through them today again comparing how much Bloodshot was in each.
  6. Isn't EW #4 a cameo and Rai #0 a full first appearance of Bloodshot? Is this one of those scenarios where the cameo is worth more due to a lower print run?
  7. A month before the announcement, I sent my Harbinger #1 NM+/MT copy into CGC with my coupon submission with the intent to sell it and try to get at least $200 for it if it came back 9.8. Now I think I will be holding on to it. It's amazing how quickly fortunes can change in the comic hobby these days. I also still think it has one of the most iconic covers of the late Copper Age.
  8. My vote for ridiculous post of the day. He rejects your reality and substitutes his own
  9. Sorry. You missed my point. The Amazing Spider-Man#252 (May 1, 1984) Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars#8 (December 1, 1984) ------------------------ 7 month gap between them = No confusion which came first The Incredible Hulk#181 (November 1974) Wolverine #10 (August 1989) ------------------------ 15 years, 3 month gap between them = No confusion which came first X-Men Annual#14 (August 1, 1990) The Uncanny X-Men#266 (August 1, 1990) ------------------------ 0 month gap between them = Potential for confusion So comparing the other books to the X-Men Ann #14/UXM #266 situation is not the same. They were published in the same month. That is why it is easily assumed Marvel messed up the release of this book because (1) who cared about Gambit anyway, and (2) Marvel just wanted to crank books out without a care of which order the books had to be released. You're glossing over the gap there, there was three weeks between them, pretty damn close to a month.
  10. I thought it was so people couldn't casually pick it up off the stand and open it to see who who the new Spider-Man was without buying it first.
  11. I opened a 9.8 candidate as well and once the bag was off I could see some small spine ticks not visible while still in the bag. It still should be pressable into a 9.8, but I was surprised at how a clear polybag hid those flaws.
  12. Yikes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Fallout-4-CGC-9-8-1st-Miles-Morales-as-Spider-Man-1st-printing-/181674809557?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a4ca998d5&nma=true&si=fUEzqo4bKkOlQp44DbxwnFh1fLY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  13. If that's actually a 9.8, that's probably a pretty good deal now.
  14. He used to be the face of Marvel Comics. There is nothing he is the leader of at Marvel comics anymore. Who is a bigger Marvel character than Spider-man? Lately, Squirrel Girl.
  15. An updated article on the possible Miles Morales MCU appearance from today: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/markcassidycbm/news/?a=115648
  16. I did a deal with Leonard and it was quick and painless. Super fast payment and great communication, I'd recommend doing business with him any day. (thumbs u
  17. And it always has, but people seem to want to attempt mental gymnastics to justify as to why the Annual is exempt.
  18. So one movie critic makes an otherwise unsubstantiated claim, and all hell breaks loose?
