Some people collect cover art, which, particularly in the Golden Age, was treated as the key selling point of a comic, above and beyond the stories inside. Read marketplace reports from the 80s and 90s and you'll find that comic collectors have long chased comics strictly for their covers. This concept was not invented with CGC.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

What's your ebay ID?

Matte interior covers, lack of certain leaking reds on the soldier on the front cover, and in the center splash page, Cerebus is gray instead of black.

This copy is probably a VG. Doesn't seem worth slabbing but maybe I'll toss it into my next modern submission.

I guess I'm now 2/3rds in this club. Walked into a LCS and, lo and behold, a genuine Cerebus 1 was sitting on the wall. Signed on the first page by Dave. The shop owner bought a collection of the first hundred issues or so, all signed by Dave.

This thread needs more mansplaining.

No one would care about when credit cards are charged if they just hurried the eff up with their turnaround times. Unfortunately there is no incentive for them to change anything about their practices unless people stop submitting and they are forced to change.

You may have been grandfathered in under an old policy. 🤷‍♂️

She-Hulk 1 sold via PM.

Oh really? I wasn't expecting these until the end of the month. Very cool.

Unlikely. Their AR team needs an established standard in place to comply with revenue recognition rules. CGC charges cards when comics are entered into their system, as per the policy they have established and comply with internally. If there are some people who are charged at different intervals then they have been placed into that specific rev rec bucket for a specific reason that only CGC's accounting team would know about.

She-Hulk 1. Sharp copy except for a few NCB spine ticks on bottom half of spine. Can a press help? Probably. $85 shipped.

I've been grabbing these Cole paperbacks when I see them pop up in half-decent grade. The problem is that they were produced so cheaply that they are often rags.

Oh, I see how it is. Show-off.

Congrats, Adam. I remember when that book was first done all those years ago and regretting that I didn't spring for the full size figures instead of getting head sketches.

This made me lol.

Those exist too.

Because it has nothing to do with comic books. -slym One has the option of not reading his newsletter if one needs to be so sheltered from such things. -ryan.

What?

What?

That's what I heard - something to due with Todd being sick. But if they are getting an avalanche of books that need to be sorted and gotten ready for the signing that is less people to work on the books they have piling up. Sounds like it will get worse before it gets better. Kewl.

-slym Why is this a problem for you?
