  1. I feel like i might be headed that direction, tbh (slab free). I do like the restoration check CGC performs though, and with signed books, it's incredibly important to know that it is 100% authentic.
  2. How would damage occur to a book that didn't move (and i don't mean shipping)? Isn't SCS caused exactly by movement of the book itself?
  3. If that's the case (no pun intended), then it seems like a flawed design. After-all, isn't one of the main points of a slab to protect the comic?
  4. What's your desert island comic book? You can only choose one, and it has to currently be in your collection!
  5. Hey all! Up for grabs is a nice copy of Cap 100. Rules: First trumps all PM's Paypal only US shipping only No returns No HOSers/Probies My feedback thread
  6. I know one boardie who is in the industry, but I don't know if he's in the right position to really do anything. A couple of guys from Marvel did make it possible for Mantlo to watch a screening of GOTG. https://www.geeksofdoom.com/2014/08/04/marvel-screens-guardians-of-the-galaxy-for-ailing-rocket-raccoon-creator-bill-mantlo
  7. It really would be! Yes! He and Keith Giffen created Rocket, and his creation was heavily inspired from the Beatles song Rocky Raccoon.
  8. I wondered that too, but I doubt it since I'm pretty sure he doesn't own any of the rights. I could be wrong though.
  9. I recently finished this 1985 mini series written by Bill Mantlo. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by how fun this read was. It was wacky, original, and entertaining. They say Mantlo was one of the best writers of this era, and I can totally see why. Weird to think that I probably never would have read this, or would even know who Rocket was if it wasn't for GOTG. What an underrated character/mini series. As a side note, it's good to see recent pictures of Mantlo smiling at the (depressing) rest home he lives in.
  10. This is actually great news! Keep that speculation driving up the value for as long as possible.
  11. BIG thanks to @Jesse0806 for picking up the SS1 4.0! Nice grab!!!
  12. Thread is closed. Moving books to other avenues. Thanks to everyone who purchased books in the thread!
  13. Saw PS tonight. It was incredibly disappointing. Not scary (some creepy parts, but mostly jump scares), jumbled writing, and I wish they never switched roles. Really dumb ending too. The acting was good, and Church was my favorite part of the entire movie. I'll give it 4 out of 10.
  14. Returns are rare for me as well, but If I have to accept a return on a 5K book, that's a $150 hit that I don't want to deal with. There's gotta be more competition.
