  1. This question is in regards to a book which has a sketch that is on both the front and back cover.  If it's possible to make a wider holder, would CGC consider slabbing the book spread open to see the whole sketch at once?

    Boba Fett should be around 41 yes.  The unaltered clone of Jango known as Boba was created about thirty two years prior to the Battle of Yavin.  The Book of Boba Fett takes place around nine years after that. 

    At least they are using the bacta tanks to get it to look more like Morrison instead of the wrinkled and scared old man.  This gives him a younger appearance I guess. 

    What they should do is have him just leave the helmet on most of the time ala Mandalorian.

    this show IS NOT The Mandalorian-more like a carebear Boba Fett meets the power rangers in this last episode.  

    Agree 100%.  As much as I like Temuera as an actor, I wish they had hired a younger like alike.  Every time he takes off his helmet he shows his age.  Isn't Boba Fett supposed to be in his 30s somewhere at this point in the SW storyline?

    We all understand that we all collect in our own ways. The way I collect is what is best for me, but not for someone else.

    That being said, can someone explain to me the reasoning regarding owning multiple copies of the same book? If the book you have multiples of is your all-time favorite book, I can get that. However, if I was to have five copies of X-Men #1 (and it wasn't my favorite book), I would keep the best-looking copy and sell the rest. I would take that money and diversify my collection. For example, I could buy the best copy of AF #15 that I could afford (or FF #1 or IH #1, you get the picture). Or I could buy a nice grade GA book (I would think that four XM #1s could buy a lower mid-grade copy of More Fun Comics #55 - the first Dr. Fate).

    If you have multiple copies of the same book, could you please explain your reasoning about that? I would like to be enlightened.

    I never collected multiple copies either.  I see a book I like and I buy one copy and that's it.  If I see someone who collects multiples I assume they are a hoarder or a speculator, even if they aren't.  The only multiples I collect are sig books, but that is multiples of one creators signature.  I do it because I love sig books and certain sigs in particular.  So by that logic I imagine those that collect (hoard, not spec) multiple books do it for the same reason I collect multiple sigs of the same individual, because they really dig the book.
