They are all dead, wait you mean the everyone in the forum or the Governor's people he killed on Walking Dead? Me no know

Why you gave up pursuing 227? You found a a high grade??

I think I have 9 or 10 now? This pic was taken when I was at 'peak' copies, sold some since then: Being a Big Baller GR fan do you have the TRUE TRUE very first GR appearance? love your 9.8...i just bought Italian version of MArvel Spotlight 5......

What are you thinking to ask?

\ \ you havce a low grade 227 you might want to sell?

That's not true. I own the two highest known grade copies of a book and they're simply not for sale regardless of what someone offers. yeah but like you say tim, its just a matter of time before another at same grade will pop out CGCed right?? there are 58 copies of the highest graded ASM129... and EVERYTHING is for sell except the Mona Lisa... maybe not yours but another at same grade will pop out with patience just like you say of the aussies and thats proving true It's doubtful with the books I'm talking about, climate and storage conditions are way worse where they're from. It's possible but highly unlikely. wait are we talking foreigns or domestic.. if foreigns than they coiuld be one of kinds but low in value therefore less desirability versus high grade 227s or 129s,,, yeah i agree with you...

a month or 3.....or 6 more than 3 months. Got my books signed on Nov 3rd....still no books....nightmare hahahaha Do they have a Fast Tracked FAST TRACK Service??

Depends on the grade. I spent 2 years trying to put a run of Batman in 9.8 from this era, they are not as "easy" to find as you think. In other grades, yes 10 a penny. I personally don't see there being "enough" interest in foreign variants to really get the big numbers. They are cool and I went after them myself because I am an OCD completionist. But to say an Aussie #227 will garner the same price as a 9.8 #227 (currently $6,000 ??), I don't see it. No one ever said a 9.8 Aussie would ever get that price.. Thats a one of a kind premium price you speak of just liek someone paid $5500 for a 9.8 ASM129...There are are 58 copies of a 9.8 ASM129 highest grade so those are premiums,,,, but on the flipside, there are ZERO Aussies CGC'ed which shows the insane rarity let alone good luck finding one in above 7.0 grade,,,, With lots of money you can buy the highest grade of ANY book,

The original issue looks like it is stalling in increased value probably because of a saturated market just like the ASM#129.... You can buy like 25-40 copies any given day, any given grade, and given amount... too much supply = decreased demand = price drop or slow incline... Hell, I would now pay more for the Australian even triple than over a diluted american market version....

Look for these variants to SKYROCKET!!! not by percent but by exponentially!!! There are extremely rare and demand is 10 times the supply... notice how there is literally only one Australian version on the boards. EVERY Aussie dealer is looking for them with no luck as the majority they suspect were trashed as they preferred the original. Scarcity trumps originality in this special case...

I email them once a week. They are currently opening books of week October 27....... "Opening books"? Do you mean grading books? Which tier are you talking about? They opening the vault and taking a group of books out. then they to grading for a week, then to encapsulation for a week, then 2 weeks later they are shipped out... thats what they tell me. heck who knows, CGC is more private than the CIA Ehm ... you seem to be confusing the actual process. When books are shipped to CGC, they show up as "Received". CGC then checks the books and they go to "Verified". After that the books sit in the vault for a while - for how long depends on the tier - get pulled out for grading, then moved to the encapsulation room, and then back in the vault until they're ready to be QC'ed and shipped out. The time between stages depend on the tier and how back-logged CGC is at various stages - sometimes they switch from graded to shipped very fast, sometimes they don't. If your subbed your books back in November under either the Economy or Value tier, they are at least sitting in "Verified" right now - perhaps even scheduled for grading - and will most likely get graded within the next week (based on what other people have posted so far). Green Jacket Gold Jacket...Who gives a S-H-I-T on the process ....I dont have the books since Nov 3rd.... Im glad you can explain how sausage gets made... With that lovely attitude, I'm sure CGC is working overtime just to get your books "opened" :thumbsup: Next time don't be a cheap-azz and pay for fast-track. not because I wasnt being cheap, They didnt offer it so I didnt know. i dropped about 2 grand on books this month so its not the money Finally I will have my Batman 227 foreign set Perhaps next time you will give a S-H-I-T about the process, then. I still dont have to care about the process. You have proven to me that by paying more next week I dont have to care

Graded/Quality Control: 3/22/13 (13th business day) Wow that is awesome.. how much is Fast Track on Bronze or Modern? Is it different if Foreign or signature series?

Apparently CGC has professionals on the boards thats why the books are still not graded!!! Hey Liam, isnt there a convention coming up where they do same day grading on the spot? Now that is the ticket

This is how you make quick friends on these boards You certainly dont make friends by acting like you know exactly how CGC works on a daily schedule..apparently CGC should hire you and about dozen more people becasue they are backed up 8-9 months on regular submitted books The person only emailed me they out a vault...

I email them once a week. They are currently opening books of week October 27....... I've got 10/31 modern non-FT (i.e. slow boat) books in the late stages of grading that I'm waiting on encapsulation/shipping for. You shouldn't be waiting for them to verify at that date. well i dont have them and the books are Bronze Age... CGC sux a big fat donkey
