Exactly what he said. VCC buyer, very quick pay, and let me know as soon as the books got there. Perfect transaction.

WTTB, Bryan.

Welcome to the boards Mary. I personally don't do graded moderns, but each collector is unique.

I don't know that I have any comics in the $10 range, but I'll happily donate $10 or if you do get a charity thread running I can donate a book that's worth something. Good on you Ryan.

Verified (finally) on 5/6. 24 (Mon-Thur) business days to reach this stage. Scheduled for grading on 5/16, things are really moving now! Graded on 5/17, all 15 showing blue labels! 6/23 - still stuck in Graded, haven't even moved to QC in 36 calendar days The 59th business day (accounting for con Fridays) is in one week. It's not looking good for them to hit even the inflated TAT stated on the site. 6/26 - Holy mess, they moved to QC today!

Not at all inappropriate to ask here. Most people feel they can get a better feel for a book from a scan. You can see more about what people like on the PGM forum. Here's the helpful hints thread for that forum. Oh and WTTB, Mike.

WTTB Padr. Always good to narrow your focus to start.

I always put my slabs through the ADF. It's quicker that way.

Or to the latest version of Mac OSX. That said you can always get third party scanner software. When they don't care if you upgrade your scanner or not they do a much better job of upgrading their software.

I remember seeing a can of soda dropped on a pile of books at a con. I believe most were sa keys your all star 3 incident still makes me cringe The worst thing I ever saw was at a Philly con in the 80s. Jay Maybruck was particularly sniffly that day (which seemed odd to me as a teenager who was watching Miami Vice) and in an angry mood. He bumped into his wall of books and most of them came tumbling down. I remember not feeling very sorry for him but expecting a huge explosion of anger. He was pretty mad. When Greg Buls first put the Circle 8 collection out for sale at a San Diego show in the early '90s I pulled an entire long box of DCs, Quality and Archie comics. Beautiful runs of mid to late '50s of titles like Plastic Man, Black Hawk, House of Mystery and Archie. He had just purchased the collection and most of the books had not been bagged yet, much less priced. He priced the books that night and the next morning they were ready for me. The total was north of $10K, which was fair for over two hundred beautiful pedigree condition comics. But as he was getting ready for the day he accidentally dumped a whole Big Gulp size drink off of the edge of his table into the box! Almost all of the comics were soaked. We were able to salvage about fifteen books. It was a huge bummer all around.

And mine just showed back up with no change to my 4/1 Value submission. I think they've just had issues with the system.

I should say it happens 1 time in 10 using viewscan.

This happens to me about one time in ten that I try to scan. Oddly it happens much more when I scan at the default resolution then when I scan at high res.

+1 I actually thinkthe to the movie going public God does not feel like a comic book movie. much closer to science fiction than a comic book movie. I agree with these. I am hoping I can bring my youngest to the GOTG movie.(he is 5) Interestingly, have a house guest this weekend and he told me he is getting sick of all the superhero films out there right now. Then he told me the film he's really looking forward to is GoTG.

Does the Church collection count as one piece of comics history?

Nice! Is the 10.0 a big money book or a PC book? Action Comics #1?

Looks like everyone is leapfrogging my 3/25 Value Slow Track still sitting at graded since 5/17. Well my Value Slow Track was received 3 days before BorderlineHorder's and went to Quality Control 4 days after so your Value Slow Track which was received 3 days before mine should go to Quality Control in 4 more days.

Pretty.

Is this our future or our grandchildren's future? I see you're an optimist. Alternate reality future?

Scheduled for Grading: 5/30/2014 So we are pretty much neck and neck. Technically which one should finish first? MFT or Coupons? MFT is supposed to be 10 days compared to coupons which are supposed to be 15 days.

Welcome Keith. You'll find quite a few Archie collectors here. Welcome Dustin. I don't think there are any X-Men collectors here unfortunately...

its not really shown, but perhaps her ORIGINAL plan was to kill everyone else in the room too, or to make a scene at the conference Rarely does a superhero movie take the time to ensure that the moments of conflict come at the most logical (and character-driven) time. If Mystique really wanted to kill Trask, she could have very easily done so at any time with almost zero risk. Why go through all those hoops? Cause the movie needs action scenes with (created) character conflicts. Same is true for any of these movies -- why attack Steve Rogers in an elevator when a SHIELD agent could just inject something like nerve gas into Cap's elevator and kill him (or some other such easy device). Because the movie needs action scenes. It's a fundamental flaw of the genre, perhaps. Dan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief (thumbs u More spoilers!!!!! I would say that for the purpose of this specific discussion, there's no evidence to suggest that Mystique INTENDED to kill Trask during this specific meeting. Perhaps she was in more of an espionage role trying to learn about plans, weapons, and other potential collaborators. But she was revealed, and flustered and decided to act. I don't think this is too unreasonable, ALTHOUGH I agree its a bit convenient. But I do feel like they thought about it at least a little bit. I find it harder to believe that they didn't use Quicksilver more. I don't think they could have used Quicksilver more. He could have ended almost all of the conflicts that followed with very little fuss.

Great news. Hopefully my value slow tracks received 3/28 and 3/31 will go to graded soon!
