  1. Unless it was merely downgraded for having the signature and therefore is correctly placed in a blue label.
  2. If any lesson is to be taken from this whole situation I hope it's this.
  3. To clarify, that exchange wasn't with the 17 year old but with a second woman, also named Molly.
  4. I have zero interest in a rhetorical debate on this but I'll just say that I have no idea what you mean by this as creative expression doesn't usually have a specific "historical direction".
  5. I think trying to assess a person's psychology from such a minimalist, arm's-length approach is not very constructive.
  6. How fast are High Values moving these days?
  7. No announcements from Jim Rugg from what I've seen but a new Cartoonist Kayfabe video has been posted this morning.
  8. I share in this belief, as mental health challenges are not a switch that flick on and off, but rather a dial that is always "on" and merely increases and decreases in intensity over time.
  9. I was shocked when I saw that broadcast last week, genuinely disturbed that they broadcast Ed's house and his parent's house on TV. That was a terrible decision made by that newschannel.
  10. I have updated the title of this thread. My thoughts on this whole series of events are varied and complex but, ultimately, this entire situation is incredibly depressing.
  11. Not an April Fool's joke. You'll have to Google for context as the details are not appropriate for this Board but, should anyone here be friends with Ed or know him, things look a bit dire right now. Sorry for being vague and alarmist but...it ain't great. Edit: Ed has passed. Title of thread updated.
  12. That's all that matters. Any decision that results in transferring more profits to the talent is a good thing.
  13. Listing Thomas as a co-creator does not diminish Wein's contribution. If Disney is breaking off some money to toss at Thomas then good.
  14. Take per CGC Boards private messaging communication system: Silver Surfer: The Coming of Galactus (WAS $10) NOW $5 Raw vol. 2 #1. (WAS $10) NOW $5 A Dame to Kill For TPB 1st print. (WAS $10) NOW $5 Heartbreak Soup and Other Stories. $5 The Sensational She-Hulk TPB 1st print, out of print. WAS$25.) NOW $15 Twilight Zone #85 VG 2nd professional work by Frank Miller. (WAS $10) NOW $5 Weird Tales May 1947 in VG — Matt Fox classic Old Witch cover that is on fire lately. Compare to eBay. (WAS $100) NOW $75
  15. For an upcharge they'll slab remainder copies upside down.
  16. CGC's decision making lately seems more geared toward short term revenue generation based on transactional business rather than long term legacy business. Now that they are owned by a much larger umbrella corporation they need to show upward trajectory each quarter or else the board starts cutting costs.
  17. I think the idea is that they want 9.8 label chasers to not only mass submit raw books to prescreen for 9.9s but also to crack, press and resub their current 9.8s. Once the 9.9 prescreen is fully implemented and 9.9s start flooding the market, the whole 9.8 paradigm shifts.
  18. Not me, man. I haven't forgotten. I'll never forget.
