  1. Hello, if you are unable to attend the event, I will be accepting books for witnessing. CGC will be present at the event as mentioned. https://sanfrancomiccon.com/
  2. Thanks. That is what I thought. Now if someone could just tell his handler. He was going on about how he was saving people's comics from damage in the future.
  3. Hi Guys, I was at a Stan Lee signing and his handler would not allow any changing of pen colors/types. So, there was Stan Lee signing with a black sharpie and nothing else. His handler said that Stan will only sign with black sharpie because the other sharpie colors like silver or gold will chip over time and damage the comic book. Is this true? I believe he just wants to push the line through as fast as possible and not have anything slow it down. All other signings that I have been to, the artist or celebrity, is willing to change the pen color per the customer request. Sorry, I don't know if this has already been discussed. Thank you.
  4. Can someone post the links for the previous year's contests? I am not sure if they are still there with this new board. Always fun to see how we did in the past and good for newcomers to see how to play.

  6. Another year has passed already?! Great fun contest and tradition. Count me in!
  7. Yes, Ebay will remove any feedback that can be argued. They will not remove any feedback based on opinion. Terrible seller is opinion. Shilling auctions needs to be proved which we can't because IDs are protected.
  8. I had a bad experience with coasttocoastcomics as well. I should have researched this seller more carefully. I am happy to see that you left him negative feedback. His emails are incredibly rude and crude. He does have some really nice books and good feedback which is why I bid in the first place. I did get a refund on my book which was overgraded and I believe he shilled the auction (but I have no proof). I believe that is how he has gotten away with no negative feedbacks. You would think he would have a ton more.
  9. Just saw this too but is this the same one that expired 6/23/2017. On Ebay, it says expires 6/23/2017. Has anyone tried it today?
  10. To toot my own horn, I was able to press the DC Millennium Edition from 9.0 to 9.6 (nice bump if I do say so myself). "Someone clearly did an amazing press job on it! " Thanks MedicAR for the feedback.
  11. Only reason to keep in the slab is if you are worried about damage from handling (eg. it is a 9.8). CGC person might damage it by breaking it out same as you. Tiny ding and no more 9.8. Better to break out and look at the up close yourself and see if you agree with grade. Also save on shipping cost by breaking out. If looking for upgrade, consider break out and press. You can PM me (I can press for you).
  12. I finally made it to the Berkeley Comic Con today. I am a Berkeley graduate and haven't been there in ages. I didn't know what to expect and was not expecting to find too much. This con ended up being great! Scored a bunch of comics and great deals. One vendor had a new collection with some beautiful never touched before books. Small hall but just comics only like the good old days. Love it! Bought back so many memories. Highly recommended to any board members. Hope to this con continues to grow and prosper. Could end up being one of my favorites.
  13. Window is short like 3-4 hours. I don't know why doesn't give more time.
  14. Class of 2002 here. Wow 15 years already. I remember when CGC first came out and people were so against it and saying it would fail. Company really changed the exchange/buying/selling of comics.
  15. I know you have you wait until it hits shipped before seeing the grades online. Could you call CGC when it hits graded to get the grades? (I am sure they prefer everyone didn't do this otherwise they would be flooded with calls).
  16. It is not common but it does happened. It seems like other sellers get all the luck with books that passed for 9.8 when I buy off Ebay. I have to admit that I received books that were 9.8 that I submitted and thought were 9.6 for sure. It kind of evens out. Grading is subjective!!! It is not an exact science.
  17. It is going to make less sense to have a modern book graded. Maybe people will stop grading so much modern stuff that are not worth much.
  18. Yes, good to have something you have been eyeing and keep it in your cart or watch list.
  19. Ebay coupon code PSHOPSAVE15 $15 off $75 purchase, expires 4/26/2017, 6 pm pacific time today. I suggest you put the items in the cart and then see if Ebay takes the code before purchasing. Just did it and worked! Good luck!
  20. Ask CGC. I believe you can. You might have to fill out a form that you are an artist/creator (even if amateur). Perhaps need to sign it in front of CGC witness even. Please post when you get your answer from CGC. I have been meaning to do one myself and submit for fun.
  21. Agreed. Circulation/print numbers are dropping. The only thing keeping the number up is the variant stuff. Too much and getting out of control much like the 1990s.
