With all due respect to the Jackal, isn't it the fact that it's the Punisher's first appearance that makes it massive key?

I guess we will see in time which character is more important. My money is on Jackal.

So jackal isn’t even on the cover? Probably hurts the book’s value as a first appearance book.

My recommendation would be to set this at $1,000. Make it so!

So you can hide behind and blame somebody else for the deception when you sell?  "I didn't lie, it was CGC!"

Fact: Domino (the real Domino) appears in X-Force #8

Fact: 8 comes before 11

I will be sure to sell them as deadpool’s 6th appearance.

My batch of 17 Modern Slow just switched over from SFG (6/8) to G/E/I this morning. So, unless CGC can speed up their processes, you've got at least a good 3-month wait ahead of you.  

Ya, I figured I might get them back just before the end of the year. Looking at what I submitted… I just have to laugh… 9 copies of ASM 55,  18 copies of X-Force 11 @Lazyboy and 10 copies of Punisher 1 (unlimited) to name a few. 
 

Hopefully CGC still considers x-force 11 to be domino’s first appearance!

I have an upside down 9.6 restored newsstand, am I rich?

It is a really nice copy, the black is fading in some areas (manufacturing defect?) and as a result someone thought it would be a good idea to scribble black marker on at least one small spot that I can see. I picked this book up in 2019 (you can quickly spot it within GPA analysis). I've wondered if I could turn it into a yellow label if someone could do a remark over the very small black scribble...

Didn’t know you had that many issues of strawberry shortcake.

Did you see my PM from July 25?

1. I’d like to see a list of all submission numbers and have the ability to drag some back to an earlier stage. Shipped? No…no… no… you are going back to received.
2. Every poster who starts a new thread has a 10% chance of being banned for two weeks.
3. All Canadian forum members are given mod status

I’m sure there are many examples where books don’t get bumped up than examples of books getting bumped

Totally understand that, just seems weird to target Kanan #1.

I have really been fixated on this topic over the last few days.

On Facebook someone announces they just received a grade of 9.9 for their X-Men 4 (first omega red). It is still at CGC. I asked them if the book was bumped out of the modern tier. They responded that it was not.

On YouTube @etanickdeclares that he receives a grade of 4.0 on his Star Wars #1 which he knows to be an error as he cracked it out of an old red 9.2 modern slab. He contacts CGC, sends the book back to CGC to review it to see if they made a human error when keying in the grade prior to encapsulation. 10 days later it comes back as a 9.6. Did it get bumped out of the modern tier due to its increased value? No, it stayed in the modern tier. Certainly it would have been poor form to do so considering CGC’s error.

As long as they bump you down a tier too if it turns out you overvalued a book…

Interesting (bad) reviews for this book so far. 

Does this mean it will be mailed back to you on its own as it is in a different tier now?

Maybe it isn’t too late to ask them to damage the book a bit during the encapsulation process to bump it back down a tier.

Just checked… still not received… argh.

How long of a wait should I expect. 8 or 9 months?

I skipped this book (also skipped bzrkr). Just feels overhyped. Cover art looks ugly and the story sounds boring.

Yeah, my shops have finally sold out of it. I've been selling copies of Cover A for $15-18 the last few weeks, so there is interest/heat even if stores ordered a lot of these.

Recent Sales

I preordered 5 copies of cover A. Of the 5, I’d say only one has potential to be a 9.8. Are you guys seeing similar trends in terms of damage? Im seeing blunted corners galore.
