The Jerr

Ok so I got a quick response back said that my "comics are in the shipping queue right now, so should be out today or tomorrow?" Wow! Does it really take them 3 weeks to ship comics? Plus why would it say shipped/safe it hasn't been shipped yet?? Don't want to sound like a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed but just trying to understand here.

Shipped today. Very excited! Now if I can just avoid looking at the grades online and spoiling the surprise... Broke down and looked at 2 of the grades online. 9.8 and a 9.6. Feeling good about the rest of them. According to the tracking, I get to find out tomorrow. Can someone tell me how to find out the tracking of my shipment?? I have 22 comics that have been graded. It has been on the Shipped/Safe status since 6-25-2013, and have not received them yet.

Thats a great sketch right there.

Does on-site grading include insta-slab? It seems like those Philly WDs were slabbed before the body was cold and I don't think I've seen such turnaround so quickly before in my limited paying attention. So are these going for cheap?

CCS Paper- books delivered 6-3-2013. Invoiced 6-5-2013. Current Status- In progress Who knows how long In Progress will take. After this it will go straight to CGC for grading in the Modern FT tier. Will keep everyone posted to see how long this process goes.

Hi there! Like your sig! How did you get your sig like that?

I thought about leaving the 9.4 alone too but they are ncb so I might take that chance. Later on the year though. Right now I wan't to enjoy these as they are my first!

Got my very first submission's back. Not bad, could have been better. The 9.6 is about what I expected back. Had 2 little non-color breaking spine stress/dents. I am surprised the 9.4 came back at that grade as it had 4-5 little non-color breaking spine stress/dents. I pegged it at 8.5 at the most. Maybe I will get a better grade with pressing.

Yeah Buddy!!

YUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPP Fantastic rooms around here!

It's my understanding that the Sentinels won't appear in this film. Marvel wants to try preparing for a cross-over. Then this movie is already doomed to be utter, epic, 100% pure trash. (thumbs u -slym How can you have this movie without Sentinels? I just feel like I have to now The Sentinels/Ultron statement was a joke.

Yeah you shouldn't have rushed them. Probably based the grade on that alone. Hopefully my Walking deads doesn't suffer.

I love Walking Dead. I was an early adopter. My collection ran back to issue #1 of buying it off the stands. I've bought and read every issue since. All that being said, take a breath. #4 should scare the living mess out of you if you are concerned with long term growth. Spikes beget spikes in the inverse. As for "generations to come"....do you know a lot of people that want "Whiz Comics" right now? That comic was one of the original juggernauts, selling nearly 1.4 million copies PER ISSUE at its peak...and was GONE within a decade of those sales figures. That was our parents and grandparents generation. Do you see anyone outside of a few GA collectors who gave a hairy rat's about Whiz? If they did, and if current success was a guarantee of future quality, sales and popularity, Captain Marvel would be the biggest book going today. Books come, they go, no matter how popular or hot or great, tastes change, trends change, nothing lasts forever. Marketing, support, and fresh stories are integral to success. There's no guarantee WD will have any of those three for any guaranteed period of time. Have a little perspective. Maybe I should get both my #1's graded and sell them to get a Amazing Fantasy 15. One's got a 50 year track record of demand and is a multi-billion dollar empire appealing to small children as well as it does to adults, and has a marketing team that has products and items in every category and in almost every possible retail location all over the globe with no end in sight, the other (while currently popular with a TV series buoying interest and prices)....somewhat less. There's devotion and then there's blind devotion. I find it much easier to enjoy comics with my eyes open. Yeah I am really starting to think about getting all my Image #1's graded and sell them. Using the profits to get me a nice Graded Amazing Fantasy 15. I remember years ago I was going to get one for $6,500, 6.5 graded blue label, and I told my wife. She got pissed at me and gave me . I showed her what 1 at that grade is worth now, and she like when do you ever listen to me.
