Thievery is afoot! How dare Mike someone steal what has rightfully already been stolen by Mike! Sources* did provide me with the following CCTV footage to prove it wasn't Mike though: *It's me, I'm the sources with MSPIANT!

Common as in 3.5k 9.8 books were submitted and 257 came back 9.6 after SS, yes. Due to handling by the artist/writer and CGC they take zero responsibility for you comic; heck they may even pile them on ground so J Scott Campbell can take a picture laying on them! You know, for funzies

I do not understand why there is not an answer for this as this should be a company policy: SOP on how to grade/handle single page submissions. Are you inferring that CGC does not have any guidelines on this? or are the guidelines internal and hidden from the public? Either way is shady.

You already have a local comic dealer in the UK you are speaking with so I would hold off on any purchase prior to conversation. If you are going to keep some of them sure, purchase mylites/boards; but it will not add additional value if you are going to sell the entire lot. It is a balance of looking nice for the next guy against you personally handling each comic to bag/board them again. You may want to push that risk off on the buyer.

You will need to contact Captured Collectables, inform them you are new to the process and will need some help. They will give you a list of their fees, plus estimate the autograph fee (or have you pay after prior to submission). You will need to have your own account with CGC and fill out the following: Looking at their WEBSITE it seems they still use the older submission model (through them) which I believe CGC no longer authorizes. In any case; shoot them an email and they will give you instructions.

I am sure there are some premiums for it, like books signed by Stan on his birthday but overall no one cares. I was lucky enough to get a Harbinger newsstand book signed by Josh Dysart a couple days after the book hit store shelves at a very small convention on either a Friday or Saturday and it was the first CGC signature of that book for almost a month. Eventually; I thought about selling it but not even the Valiant guys cared and they care about the craziest of minutia.

Please contact CGC before doing anything! a post in the Ask CGC forum could help (and give you something to print out and attach to the submission). I tried something like this back in 2019 when I wanted to get a wrap remarqued and signed and was informed it would receive a purple/yellow label due to using scissors to separate the wrap instead of tearing it.

it is for any miniature, it is just a dark lacquer really that clings to voids giving the impression of depth/shading. I use something close to this to brush on and not actually dip the entire model into it.

There are no "rules" for moderation, once you receive a suspension from a sub-forum it will likely become permanent. Any deleted posts are hard deleted and will not show up under the correct sub-forum (under moderation), the record of your suspension will also not be logged (in the same forum), and you will be ignored. I speak from experience due to angering a mod; it is what it is and eventually the emperor will lose his cloths.

That is a good series; i've had the sketch book signed by both of them in 9.8 on ebay in my watch list for sometime hoping the price would drop.

it doesn't have to be.... we could always have a XMAS in July raffle

That's a pretty awesome sculpt you might want to give it an additional quick wash for shading to make it really pop.

You might want to black out the label; CGC doesn't like people posting pictures of slabs without newton rings the competition.

That is a bit shady but par for the course on the forums; rules are malleable and you wont be told anything. Good luck

She is a graphic designer by trade so she might only do computer illustrations. I have her email address, so will PM you.

Those are what points the book is worth on the registry. You might be looking for the registry HERE

The Ninjak Logo would also be in gold and there would not be a $ price in the bottom of the box. Using the old google machine here is what it should look like:

This was the ebay sale for the non-multipack version per my above reply.

Not sure if the "multi-pack" adds value or not. Last ebay sales: 12/23 CGC 9.8 $45 (auction had 3 bids) 1/24 CGC 9.6 $54 (best offer not clear) There are a couple various 9.8s currently on Ebay that have been sitting there for 6mo+ for $180-$300ish. Even superboy #9 which is the first full appearance doesn't seem to sell for more than $90; I am actually surprised given how popular the character has become.

It is something of a nice quirk and more easily done with limited series (four-to-six issues without variants) but not something I see anyone paying a premium for.

I am fine with the up charge for high value submissions but I am cautious of CGC taking on the role of appraiser, grader, and bill collector without also extending that value to the customer. If over the course of grading and finalizing, CGC decides your high value submission should get bumped up to unlimited value they need to be forced to provide proof of that appraisal when returning the submission in addition to raising the initial declared value in case someone at CGC steals the book (or they lose it).

I would suggest posting a picture or at least tell us what book it is. I am going to assume it was this book:

I was able to watch this movie (invite; I did not pay). Without spoilers; it can definitely be described as a movie... There are some really good aspects: Some of the humor works if you like Dakota Fanning There are a couple really deep spider-man comic easter eggs most will miss That is about it, I was hoping for maybe a campy so bad it is good film but it has some pretty major basic film issues. The script feels like it is a first draft that was never fleshed out with character development. If you liked the trailers then you are going to be unimpressed with the actual movie, it is a Madame Web focused movie not an ensemble team up. The "villain" has zero development outside of "i'm a bad guy and do bad things" and at least in the version I saw had terrible ADR that unsynched in some scenes (specific to only this character). While Dakota Fanning's humor did work for me she really looks like she did not like being in the film, in a number of scenes she has a thousand mile stare while mono-toning monologue. Which brings me to the absolute inexcusable decision to have characters describe their actions, explain plot points in an overly wordy dialogue, and never actually "do" things or show "action". What you saw in the trailers is pretty much it only withholding one action set scene. The movie isn't Morbius bad but it tries its best to be with some of the timey-whimey aspects used as the main plot point. I feel really bad for some of the supporting actors; Sydney Sweeney was so positive and excited in interviews about playing Julia Carpenter and her talent was wasted in this movie.

It could be a damaged corner from any number of things, why black everything out though? knowing the book would also help determining if it is more likely to be tampered with or just damaged.
