Yeah, it would be so nice if you showed up with 2 for Richard and I.

First off "At a panel, one expert collector said he saw many $100 deals going on in the booth, but no real big deals on the floor ($50-100k). He said those deals were between dealers themselves, quietly done." THIS IS NOT TRUE and I would love to speak with the "EXPERT COLLECTOR". There were multiple deals in this price range that were not between dealers but between dealers and collectors. I was part of a very large one and it was not a dealer to dealer transaction. I also sold a few books in this price range. This type of comment is frankly one that annoys me quite a bit because of how it was said and to what audience. Secondly Sunday is generally the slowest day of the show and frankly your comment is way off on how the show went. You don't need a ton of customers to make good sales. Richard from Bedrock made a couple of nice sales on Sunday. My Sunday was what I expected since a majority of my sales take place earlier in the week. San Diego was a very good show, there was a very good attendance that frankly makes it a little easier to get around then the year before covid hit. It isn't a sea of bodies anymore. For those who say they can't get tickets ask a dealer you are friends with. We do get allotments of exhibitor and attendee badges that you can buy. If you aren't friendly with one maybe you should be. On a side note if San Diego is not your "thing" or is out of your price range I strongly suggest attending the Torpedo show in Glendale, CA the weekend before. Most of the national and some regional dealers set up with the same inventory. Glendale is a very nice city, the Hilton is a very nice hotel, the room is very comfortable. Please don't use "I can't get into San Diego" as an excuse not to see the same inventory or dealer you do business with.

All this shows me is that Goldin is not the auction house to use selling big ticket books.

Wait, you wanted a Salami sandwich?

Wow, very sad news. I've known Jose for a long long time.

Your forgot but hey the new price increase should resolve this issue because CGC is putting more $$$$ into our IT infrastructure.

How exactly does one molest a comic? Stroke the spine then stab a hole in it? Fondle the corners then clip one off? Speak to it softly before you slowly start misting, I mean drowning it so that it "Loosens Up" those fibers?

Highgradecomics.com will be at the show.

Ah you are referring to the "STUD" program. Sign Them Until Death, submitted under the CORPSE tier (Cgc Organized Recognized Profit Secured Exclusive)

12/21/22 submission of a Reholder. Returned 4/19/23 4 months for a reholder, And with this new price increase that improvement in turnaround times will go right out the window so line up those "Fast track" checks for the ready. Put Mo Money in their pockets. CGC has basically gone the route of "using no rubbers". They love the smell of burning rubber and screaming submitters.

Nothing better then Greed disguised with a smile. Unfortunately I can't write a GDS (Grading Default swap) on when submissions start to crash.

Look, I will say this as I've said before. All you guys that pay fast track fees are doing is showing CGC that if they slow down you will pay more to get books graded faster. There is no financial incentive to improve turnaround times and will NEVER be so long as submitters pay fast track fees.

CGC has achieved the goal of NOT having to doing any of the work of finding the material to make as much money as the seller who submits it on $1000+ books. As I've posted before, everybody is making money except the person who buys the books.

How CGC feels about its customer base - BendOverBob No more express tiers, Walkthroughs up to 4% no limit on how much they charge/hose you.

I'll take per pm

I'll take the X-Men #78 9.4

The public storage I was using did not have Wifi so even if I wanted to put camera's in I couldn't.

I keep getting that I have 15 new messages on my stolen books, go in, nothing. Oh well CGC IT testing at its finest I see. Still waiting for that flashy new technology my annual subscription is getting me

Comicnet is slowing taking over. The userterminators will slowing start deleting you one by one. The bar is just the start.

Unlike Vinny who was hooking up with Chainz on Vicetv Richard and I were negotiating to meet with the following Rappers First up was Fluffdaddy, turned us down, said we were too stiff. Second meeting was with Staypuff Marsh, found him a little too soft Jayz was busy, KY squeezed us in

7 pages and no sale yet? If co-owned it might have sold already

Wondercon was my first show since October. Was a typical Wondercon, decent sales. This year was very sparse buying even though I really really tried. There is definitely a shortage of certain material. Was going to sell my box inventory to another dealer but somehow the rules changed from the last time he bought my inventory to this time. Wound up not doing it.

The man is the hardest working "Convention" dealer. If you have a great website you don't have to kill yourself flying all over the place to be at shows. I have no problem with working hard, I do try to do it as efficiently as possible. And frankly the convention model isn't exactly the strongest selling or most cost effective way to do business. Covid clearly showed the flaws in the convention model way of doing business.
