  1. @mycomicshopWondering if you have any plans to improve the color quality of your scans? Thanks Real life vs Your scans:
  2. It sucks but I wouldn't risk sending the books back through the mail two more times
  3. What does it say if there is only one copy graded and it's a 9.8? Probably not rare in high grade
  4. This one I bought from Joseph Koch Comics on eBay around 2002 for maybe $12-$20. Slabbed it in 2014, sold it in 2020. My baby is all grown up!
  5. Nice book! I bought this raw off Metro's website for $93 in 2011, had it slabbed in 2019 and later sold it here on the boards
  6. If CGC does not have this already, they should have a program where they buy a certain amount of graded books per year in the market, examine them, and release them back into the market. Kind of like wildlife monitors who catch animals, tag them, and monitor their health from time to time. Except with different books each time.
  7. Anyone have thoughts about how a CGC employee's duties could include receiving and verifying items from eBay? Does CGC deal on (what in the financial world would be called) a proprietary account?
  8. I can only find the doc behind a paywall. If anyone has a public source please post it here - thanks
  9. Came across this & thought folks here might find it of interest https://www.marketwatch.com/story/thats-rich-a-richie-rich-comic-sold-for-108-000-last-year-more-will-soon-be-auctioned-off-d1af95c7 Don't think there's a paywall but here are the first 3 paragraphs This ‘poor little rich boy’ is becoming a sensation among comic-book collectors Last Updated: Jan. 27, 2024 at 10:13 a.m. Published: Jan. 24, 2024 at 4:25 p.m. ET By Charles Passy A Richie Rich comic sold for $108,000 last year — more will soon be auctioned off Philip Cole’s collection of classic Richie Rich comic books is being auctioned off next month. He is shown here holding his copy of Richie Rich No. 1. Collectors of comic books have long obsessed about Superman, Spider-Man and the broader array of superheroes. And that has led to surging prices for some titles, including sales that have topped $3 million for the rarest ones. But now some collectors are turning their attention to an entirely different type of comic-book character and asking the question: Is it possible to get rich off Richie Rich? Yes, Richie Rich, the character otherwise known as “the poor little rich boy” and the namesake behind a line of kiddie-oriented comic books that were popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
  10. I'm sure someone posted this and I probably missed it https://www.comicsbeat.com/cgc-slabbing-scandal-rocks-collecting-world/
  11. I knew a small shop that ordered 1000 Ultimates #1s. By the time he was done selling his 9.8s on eBay I think the price had dropped to $15
  12. For sure it could be a tool for opening up slabs they want to resubmit, as in crack (melt) - press - resubmit This coming from someone who has never opened a slab
  13. To me this isn't evidence. I use something similar to cut backing boards and separate mailing labels from receipts, you know, cutting paper
  14. In Immaculate Comics recent video, he shows several screen shots of a video by Keep It Thoro Comics. There is no video visible on KITC YouTube page more recent than two months old, unless, I guess, you subscribe to his channel for 99 cents a month? Is that a new paywall? The video posted here on 1/6 did not appear to be behind a paywall. If some has access to the newer video could they paste it here (assuming pasting allows you to see videos behind a paywall?) Also based on screenshots in those videos someone in this thread owes me a beer
  15. @Dave2739Funkos mostly not interesting! @Sigur Rosthings you don't care about & don't buy, not interesting! @Phickscrazily overpriced books, kind of interesting! Interesting: old Archies with word balloons blacked out, obscure Westerns with OO spine rolls, CGC wall books in shattered cases, you get it! We want to see books that are Internet virgins! @Nick Furiousif you saw it in a comic shop it belongs here, however the ideal ratio of comics to non-comics is 4:1 or better!
  16. This is a thread for things you saw in a comic shop but didn't buy
