  1. That tape looks so fresh maybe they put it on there themselves as part of a new Conservation service
  2. Okay, surprise - it's getting very good now! Episode 3 has turned things around for me regarding the writing (which I found very sloppy i the first two episodes). Love the idea behind the 'villain' in this episode,
  3. My favorite movie channel, Nando v Movies, has finally released a video for Captain Marvel. I honestly think he is right on the money with this change - which could have made the movie even better and enhance the setup for future Marvel movies. Thoughts?
  4. "Woe to you, E.C. Annual collector, for the CGC sends the Beast with wrath Because he knows the census is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the grade of the Beast For it is a fine grade, its number is six, six, and six"
  5. Also this cover does check off many of the boxes for a 'perfect' cover, though it does lack the quintessential "Blond woman in a red dress" trope I love to collect. I didn't think this issue would hit this price before some other more notable classic ones though (cough...Chamber of Chills 23...cough)
  6. I'm looking the cover for Zip Comics #20, either the entire wrap or just the front/back cover on their own. Condition does not matter and i'll be very generous edit: Found a facsimile cover to tide me over for now - but will take any condition cover for this issue I can find.
  7. yeah, but purple restored label (probably moderate professional)
  8. Why had no one crapped all over on Blade: Trinity yet? Cause that beats pretty much everything. Also, the newest Godzilla flick was a triple B threat - Bland, Boring, and Bad - so I think it's going to find its way to my top 5 worst "hollywood blockbusters" ever.
  9. Just finished episode 2...it's starting to show its faults I mean the show itself LOOKS amazing, and the special effects production is amazing - but the writing and plotting is pretty disappointing, especially the dialogue. It's alright for established comic fans who are willing to slog through anything in order to simply catch a glimpse of these characters, but for anyone else there isn't much to really draw them into this show. My fiancé didn't like any superhero stuff (but she liked Swamp Thing as a kid so was excited for this show), but shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones really grabbed her and made her care about everything Marvel - and that magic is really missing from this show (and all other DC properties, for that matter).
  10. Hopefully this thread is still being referenced by CGC for label updates, cause I got another. Would be good to be consistent with the "Last Issue" comment on labels so every final issue has it (visually makes sets nice, as there will be both a 'first' and 'last' issues as bookends). Please add the 'Last Issue' note to Crime Mysteries (1952-1954) No. 15.
  11. Yeah, it seems it is less about WB and more about a giant Tax SNAFU that happened which they were banking on to help with the shows $80mil budget.
  12. Well, numbers all over the place - but at least all of them are higher than I was expecting so that's great news to me!
  13. I looks like a perfect candidate to at the very least having the entire issue leaf cast to repair the holes (and perhaps only color touch the cover to fill it in - as doing color touch redrawing on every page would be crazy expensive)
  14. I would talk to CGC about it, but even then you cannot guarantee the grader will not change their mind once it is in hand for review. I had a comic that was being conserved (about 2 years ago), and the professional doing it was in constant talks with CGC to ensure we only had conservation level work done on it in order to get the 'conserved' label and not a purple restored label (clean staple, reinforce, small tear seal) - however once graded they gave it restored (main reasoning was that since the cover was reinforced both inside AND out on the spine that was too much 'conservation' and now was restoration, though this was discussed prior to submission and was fine).
  15. Hard to tell but the corners look a little blunt, but otherwise a great solid copy. I would say 8.0.
  16. Nope, no tears - just the crinkles and color breaks along the spine. I guess I tend to grade covers with large bright solid colors a little harsher, since the color breaks become far more obvious and impact eye appeal.
  17. Behold Marvel's first horror comic...in almost horrific condition! Been going back and forth about this one. Been thinking that with the color breaking it might be a 2.0, but have seen worse issues come back with higher. Defects on the cover are pretty much it - pages are nice and the staples are tight and rusted, nor is there any odor. More pics inside the spoiler
  18. You are literally on the CGC website right now.
  19. Buh? Where did you hear that, there are foils for all cards in Modern Horizons and you can even preorder them all right now - also the First Sliver seems pretty bonkers.
  20. Nice - you must be happy with the slew of new Slivers which have been spoiled for the latest set this week. This has made the prices of all the prior Legendary slivers climb (again). Sliver Queen is going for around $200 now, and Sliver Legion over $100 Also I would be 100% happy if Slivers were in this movie as some faceless multitude that the gatewatch must go to war against (pretty much Starship Troopers but with magic)
  21. It's alright - i'm lazy and don't actually do it as a business, so you should swoop in and capitalize on it
  22. Haha yeah, i've done pressing for cards as well since I already have the comic setup (also dry cleaning cards, especially helpful for white border dual lands to get em looking much better). Pressing warped modern foils comes up often (though only for pre-grading submission, as you cannot ever bank on them keeping the flat shape for long)
  23. Yeah, the $400 range for orbs is actual where you risk it being in such condition it isn't even legal in non-sanctioned formats (it has to be playable in a sleeve at the very least, and with the orb you get lots of warped ones due to play - in need of a pressing!). Typical cost for a low end but playable orb should be around $600-$700 (unlimited version) or just a $4 proxy will do since those are allowed in non-sanctioned old school games (most groups will allow a certain number of proxies for the decks so everyone can play easily)
  24. $400 range...ahhahahaa oh man, you really have been away from the game for awhile
