CGC not allowing local pickup of orders
VintageComics replied to UnboxingTreasures's topic in Comics General
I can definitely see this as being the reason. There are only so many resources (time / space / employees) and CGC is much more busy now than they were when they moved into that location. It's one of the reasons they started charging for grading notes. Giving it away free was too time consuming to do it for free. -
Journey Into Mystery 83 CGC 5.0 Switched label??
VintageComics replied to James J Johnson's topic in Comics General
First, the book was graded in 2012. 2nd, there is no amount of crack that would allow a grader to call that book a 5.0, even in the loosest period. It's obviously a swapped out book. -
My initial post (and discussion point) was pictures of books in bags. The extra layer of plastic, mylar, etc creates a lot of glare and distraction that prevents you from seeing the book properly when taking a pic (as in a photograph with a cell phone or camera). With scanners that is not the case. A scan looks almost identical whether inside a Mylar or not.

Take 5% off all remaining books (and shipping is included). Feel free to message me with any interest. All scans are in this thread. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazing Spider-man #173 CGC 9.8 White - Asking $1000 Avengers #6 CGC 9.4 COW (unbelievable eye appeal - this is going to be someone's keeper) - Asking $1500 Daredevil #158 CGC 9.8 White pages - Asking $700 Giant Size X-men #1 CGC 7.0 White - Asking $1000 Going Steady #10 CGC 2.0 OWW (Classic Matt Baker - previously graded and offered as a raw 2.0 by me in the marketplace. 6 copies on census with 7.5 being the highest graded) - Asking $750 Man Thing #1 CGC 9.8 White - Asking $900 Marvel Premiere #15 CGC 9.6 OWW - Asking $1200 Tales To Astonish #18 CGC 8.0 OWW (Tough book in grade, previously graded and offered as a raw 8.0 by me in the marketplace) - Asking $800 X-men #76 CGC 9.2 OWW (tough book in grade, a CGC 9.6 sold for $4000 on Comiclink) - Asking $450

That book looks like it belongs in a higher grade holder.

Comic legend Marie Severin Passes away
VintageComics replied to Harley Troy's topic in Comics General
Marie Severin did the pencils to one of my favorite Thor covers of all time - Thor #158. She did the head sketch on that cover while Kirby did the action poses. I'm not overly familiar with all of her work but that head sketch alone showed me that she was a great. -
It's a peeve of mine because it really hinders you from seeing the book. You wouldn't put a car cover over your car when taking a picture, would you? You wouldn't keep your lunch sandwich in a ziploc bag if you were sending a picture, would you? If you want to show the comic for sale, I think you should take the plastic off the CGC case or out of the bag / Mylar for snapping pics. It would seem to be common sense but maybe it isn't? And don't get me wrong on the artistic merit of thumbs and toes in pictures.

[CLOSED] NYX #3 CGC 9.8 White For Sale
VintageComics replied to VintageComics's topic in Copper / Modern Age Only
NYX #3 CGC 9.8 White (this book continues to astonish me, much like Batman Adventures #12 did) Asking $925 (shipping included) -
Shipping: Certified books, shipping is included within North America, ROW we split it. Raw books, include $10 for shipping within North America. ROW I will split with interested parties. Who wins: Time stamp seals the deal as to who wins regardless of the form of communication (including PM, in the thread, text or phone conversation). A negotiation is not a deal until both sides have agreed on terms. If there is an unconditional posted (or communicated) it will trump all negotiations unless we have already both agreed to terms before the was posted. In that case, the will have been in vain. Except that it will give you street cred and look cool to passers by. No House Of Shame or Probationary members or any others of ill repute. Returns: I am considered a very good grader among my peers ( Here is a link to my kudos thread ) but since even CGC is inconsistent I will not guarantee a CGC grade. I will guarantee to be within one grade increment in either direction - so if I am calling the book a 9.4 it could go 9.2 or 9.6. If it falls outside of those parameters (and it does happen that they go in both directions), I will offer a refund. But I don't expect anyone to complain if I undergraded it. I will accept returns if item is otherwise not as described. Consider all books pressed. Payment: Paypal, bank wire, check or MO.
