Not to burst your bubble, but technically that's not an MJ "insert", but an MJ ad. It's not hardstock and not a full wrap CF, correct? I've found these in many later BA/CA books.

Of course, all of this is informative, but irrelevant. It is a way-cool BA book, HTF in HG. Period.

So I'll probably start my copy at $24 . . . I like round numbers.

Depends which Night Nurse you are talking about. There are rumors of Linda Carter being in the Dr. Strange movie, but Claire Temple was already in season 1 of Daredevil and was unofficially "night nurse". It's got nothing to do with media, it's Night Nurse fergawdsake.

looks a little schilly to me Maybe not the seller but someone is trying to drive the price up yeah, it's all a conspiracy. I think it's more like, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Mucho dinero . . .

Typo Mary?

#8? What's the importance of that book? First app Bella donna Boudreaux . . . Screen rant

Pretty sweet, Jay, pretty sweet.

It's about time this series got some love. Lot's of hidden gems in the run: 1st White Tiger, 1st Jack of Hearts, 1st Daughters of the Dragon, some beautiful Adams covers (including the Bruce Lee & Billy Jack ones) and a really hot Bruce Lee book. Personally, this is the book I first discovered George Perez's art on the Sons of the Tiger series. Early Iron Fist appearances...what's not to love? Completely agree - One of my favorite titles. I pick up HG copies at any opportunity, Looks like jscomics had a particularly nice run of them and word spread fast; I also see our own nochips there too!

There are quarter boxes at every convention. They may be going out of style, but they still exist. Like quarter slots.

:gossip:Starbucks is not HG coffee . . .

Fixed that for ya!

Yep, it's amazing what this book gets in even FN (or less). Wish I had more copies . . .

Uh, so is anything copper heating up???????

I'll send you a scan as soon as it's finished being photoshopped . . .

No. Books should be hammered in the grade for improper pressing that is obvious. Other than that, there is no way to know with absolute consistency if a book has been pressed or not. And attempting to do that would cause CGC to lose all credibility. I can set 10 books in front of the best graders CGC has, some pressed and some unpressed, (and I would be honest, and set out books that I have owned since they were printed in, say, 1991), and CGC would not be able to tell which books were pressed and which weren't. I submit books that are pressed to CGC, and I submit books that aren't pressed. Pressing is not detectable with any...and I mean ANY...degree of consistency. You're essentially asking CGC to look for what isn't there. And, since natural processes can often mimic "artificial" pressing (See: Edgar Church collection), there's simply no way to reliably tell. You're asking for something that simply isn't possible. How about CGC just rejecting books that it suspects are pressed? How's that for starters? Kind of like "overhang", or perhaps "micro-trimming" - they just send them back to the submitter. (Never happen - not a good business model). Because 1. CGC doesn't consider pressing to be a problem; 2. Good pressing is virtually indetectable; 3. A ton of books that had never seen a press ever could be "rejected." It's unworkable. Trimming, even micro-trimming, takes material from the book. Overhang creates problems in the slab. Pressing only flattens out what is already there. Nothing is added to or taken away from the book (despite the "philosophical" objections that "bends" and the like were "taken away." "Bends" are not part of the basic material of any comic, except the spine.) I think this pretty much sums it up, thanks RMA.

+1 Say the pressers . . . Btw, to my knowledge, RMA doesn't press books himself, he says he submits pressed books. However fine a distinction between doing and endorsing may be.

I didn't read any other posts, but here's what I don't get . . . 1. You take photos, you don't "make" them. 2. You mocked up a slab? 3. Photoshop has no business in the comic retail world. 'Splain me Loothey. True. It wasn't used in the "Comic retail World".. Thanks for the insight. You're welcome. So, we're just supposed to say, "He just made a stoopid mistake, and we're all cool with that."? I. Don't. Think. So.

Yup. (thumbs u "Stand up" guys get caught with their pants down all the time.

Nor is pressing or micro-trimming, but that hasn't stopped anyone. Point is, it's not necessarily just a hobby to everyone.
