Great contest again.  Thank you ThirdGreenHam and Sckao.  This is my 2^nd year and learned a lot since my rookie season last year.  It has been frustrating at times but always fun.   I donated my time via comic pressing in the past and it has been fun getting to know board members so I am offering up my services again:

LOL....I didn't know I had a grip with anyone. Funny thing is at first I was telling myself "I don't know who this Vodly is" thinking it was a board name of someone...not knowing it's what people call the competition. lmao

 

And here's the video since someone said it was pulled down and couldn't find it:  

 

Oh...and next I have an easy way to crack open the new CGC cases which I'll post since some people say that they have a hard time doing it.  (But there is clear evidence when you open a CGC slab). I'll post a video of that once I have a blue label that needs to be cracked out.

 

 

Thanks for coming out and showing the video.  Yes, please post on how to open the new CGC case.  I have the hardest time as well and afraid of getting hurt from flying pieces.

I agree.  I saw the video and it seems like he just showing how easy it is to open and not attacking any company.  I have mainly CGC slabs but few others and  would like to know if my case is vulnerable to manipulation.  People who crack regularly know.  I have never cracked one yet.  Joey posted how easy it was too.  No one listening until someone posted a video.

Yes, new CGC cases are very hard to open without signs of cracking. The old CGC cases much easier.  

Yes, it can be popped in and out with no signs.  Very scary as that is the whole point of encapsulation.  

Hi Guys,

There is an interesting discussion going on Voldy .   I am not providing any link or any other information.   The video has been pulled but you can still see if some searching.   Anyway, it shows how to easily swap a label similar to when Comic Keys showed it.   The only reason I bring it up here is that we are all in this hobby together and anything that is nefarious is bad for us all.

Me too. Had 9.2 on that ASM but got hammered for the double corner creasing on the bottom right corner. 

CGC hammers it based on how long they are and those were kind of long.  I should have knock it down more but was reluctant after undergrading several books.

Amazing Spider-Man #135: Corner crease, Rt upper Front Cover, Rt Lower Front Cover corner crease, scratch across cover, spine ticks break color, crease back cover spine

Hello, how much is Mark Hamill charging for CGC SS signature?   Thanks.

I will be there Friday and can accept the books from you but if you are attending the con, CGC will have a table and you just need to come to the table and ask for a witness.   There is no charge if you get someone from the table.   You need a witness here if you need someone to get the signatures for you and you can't do it yourself.

Hey Andy,

Over 60% thought that the Babloo was 9.0 or better.  Can you educate us on the reason that the Babloo got a 8.0 grade?  We can speculate but as always one needs the book in hand.

Thanks.

Ok, I was thinking 9.2 but went to 9.0 so off by 0.4.  This is  considered 2 grades off, same as 1.0 miss of 5.5 vs 6.5.  That does not quite seem fair. One is way off the grade vs the other.  Sorry, gotta complain.

Need in hand by Aug 30.

Get it reholder especially if they are paying for the shipping.  I had the same thing from ComicLink. Probably damaged from just handling. Slabs are easily cracked, even just from stacking flat.

Hello,

I will be accepting books for CGC SS witnessing if you are not able to attend personally.   Will need books by 8/30/2017.
