I love this analysis.  Really shows how rare some of these are in high grade!

It means implied, but not directly stated.

So just to be clear, you went on my sales thread and made a sarcastic comment regarding the price.

This, if someone can't read between the lines and still makes a 10k+ purchase is it still in the hands of person who said "nice price"?

Would you care to explain further what you mean by "can't read between the lines"?

I'd leave it as is personally.. there are a couple of color breaking ticks that are easily visible in there so it all depends on what grader you get. It's really only worth it if you're planning on selling it, aside from that it's just ego. But take out the $4-600 pressing and re-grading fees (if using CCS), and add in the premium that people tend to pay for old labels, and that price difference between a 9.4 and a 9.6 isn't HUGE (going off of 90day GPA, 9.6 @ 11,400 and 9.4 @ 9,600)... if those ticks were non-color breaking and it had a chance at a 9.8 I'd say resub all day long..

Just an opinion

Exactly what I'm thinking. Thanks.

Thanks all. Lots to think about. I didn't consider that the old label value would be lost if it came back a 9.4.  It's never been pressed.

I'm leaning on leaving it alone.

Hello All - Would anyone care to estimate the chances of an upgrade if this book is resubbed? It was originally submitted in Feb 2001.Thanks in advance.

Just kidding, but.....?

No. It's not a loss. 

Haters gonna hate, but that's not how it works.

Losing customers is a loss. That is exactly how it works.

Just now, Chuck Gower said:

So if I make $10 at my lemonade stand one day and only $5 the next, that means I lost $5?

What kind of math is that?

You do, if you had two regular customers that spent $5 everyday. Then you hired Rian Johnson who pissed in the lemonade in front of one those customers.

46% rating?

on IMDb.com, which has about 4 times the votes of ‘rotten tomatoes’ it has a 7.2 out of 10. 

CinemaScore which most all studios use for matching up ratings with success was at 89%.

Critics loved it.

And it was the #1 selling DVD/bluRay of the year - despite constant online backlash, plenty of people still wanted to buy it. 

And most importantly - Disney CEO Bob Iger loved it.

 

Force Awakens had home sales of $189M. Last Jedi $83M.

New Hope had home sales of $30M.  Empire Strikes Back $27M.

$100M loss, not counting missed repeat ticket sales and Solo. Disney accountants definitely are not pleased.

How do you figure?

Episode 8 did 34% less than Episode 7 domestically and about 37% less Worldwide. 

The first movie did much better than the first. 

But Episode 2 did about 34% less than Episode 1 domestically and about 37% less Worldwide. 

Its virtually the same statistical drop.

The time between the first movie of each of those trilogies automatically builds up a strong desire to see them multiple times. 

And realistically both 2nd movies performed about the same percentage down from the first. 

No one lost money - that’s just how the business works. 

 

 

Are you honestly trying to say that if TLJ had an 90% audience rating it would have made the same as the one with a 46% rating?  That the only factor was that it was the second movie?  Come on.

If you want to argue the amount of drop, that is a discussion. But there is no way there was no loss of money.
