  1. Will CGC allow Elite members to drop off books again at this time? i saw in the TCG card forums that elite members are afforded this opportunity but wanted to make sure it applies for comic book submissions as well.
  2. There will actually be a UNO set coming out that is worth of grading by CGC. The Mattel Creations VeeFriends UNO Card Game.
  3. Got my second order in today to match my first piece! Sitting on a crate in the garage until I can get some help moving it into the house :-)
  4. I was disappointed with the show. Even the brilliant Mark Hamill, I felt, was not a good match for Skeletor. That might be because we were all so spoiled with Alan Oppenheimer's brilliance. Lena Headey was the best part about the show, in my opinion. I'm definitely not looking forward to Part 2, but I'm sure I'll watch and pray they turn this thing around -- because this is not the MOTU I loved as a child.
  5. Thank you very much for the reply and I've responded personally to the message in my inbox!
  6. So just to clarify things - I never had a discussion with the owner or argument about anything political or even any kind of heated discussion. MCS didn't like the fact I returned several books that I felt were over graded. I don't remember the exact dialogue regarding the return but the shop was clearly frustrated by my returning of the books. I was never informed that I was "banned" -- just one day I went to log into my account and got an error message saying that I couldn't. It wasn't until today that I called to find out what happened, because as I mentioned above, I placed an order in February with a new account, and never received those books. I understand that MCS has the right to refuse business to anyone that they choose, but the customer service rep today actually hung up on me which I didn't feel was called for. I had placed multiple orders with MCS prior to the "returns" order and had no issues, so I'm not sure what happened but don't want to add flames to the fire after my dealing with the rep this evening. I suppose I'll just have to have friends place orders for me if I need books from MCS.
  7. I was going through some older orders and noticed that an order I placed in late February had not yet been shipped. I reached out to customer service today and the representative told me that "The owner no longer wants to do business with you." I asked why and she said that was all the information she had and then proceeded to hang up on me. Wow... great customer service. I ordered several books years ago and returned several because they were over graded -- way too many spine ticks acceptable for modern books in NM or NM- condition. I can only assume that's the reason I'm banned. It's unfortunate - I liked their site and they had a great selection of books. I feel like I've been "Soup Nazi'd"
  8. Looking forward to how you like the product? I'm placing an order for my second 4x2 this week.
  9. It's just for bragging rights on who came closest to top "guess." Nothing highly valuable. It will be Punisher related. Not Price Is Right rules -- just closet to actual closing bid.
  10. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/first-punisher-original-artwork-goes-to-auction-estimated-2-million/ I think the prediction is low. I predict $3.345 million doll hairs. What say you? Whoever comes close to guessing final bid will win a prize!
  11. Sara had her first comic book cover offered today and it is now sold out! Did anyone have any success scoring copies? https://krscomics.com/collections/vampirella-trial-of-the-soul-one-shot-sara-frazetta-collection
  12. I've tried claiming my digital copy of Previews for this month but the site is not allowing me to utilize the code that was provided in the print catalog. Does anyone have the digital format they would mind sending me for JUL20 Previews (this months)? shopping@jaylefler.com if you have it, please and thank you :-)
  13. Not that my suggestion means anything but I think the label's size overpowers the card a little bit. I would prefer a much smaller footprint for the label itself.
  14. Will there be a "pre-screen" submission for a certain grade, similar to comics?
  15. I'd be all over this if you could provide a "pre-screening" like they do with comic books. I wouldn't want any modern cards under a 9.5.
  16. It's got a little of a Brereton feel to it. I like it!
  17. Finally got around to scanning this one -- beauty by Collette Turner
  18. Sharing my goods: https://cloud.collectorz.com/jaylefler/comics/detail/14704262
  19. First in-hand pieces of Swordsman of Mars have posted! I can't wait to receive mine in the next few weeks!
  20. Signature Series Standard: Received: 1/22/20 Shipped: 2/13/20
  21. Hadn't picked up a piece in a while, but a Jenny Frison cover had been on my want list for quite some time. Picked up this beaut from Cadence Comic Art
  22. Received this notification from DCBS: "Going forward, we will not be offering ratio variants 25 and higher on the site until the book releases and we know the fair market value and the exact amount we will be receiving. We kept overselling on many of these issues because we did not know our qualifying amount until the end of the month and we would have to credit customers if we did not qualify to receive enough to fill all orders. We were also estimating fair market value at the time we offered the book, however, many times, once the book was released, the market value was either much lower or higher than what we estimated. We feel this is the fairest way to offer these variants. "
  23. Do the events of the Skywalker sequels (episodes 7-9) allow for 'The Child' to still be alive?
