    Gotcha. Thanks.

    Hello Pot......This is the Kettle..... (coming from a guy who belongs to a religion in which he as an artist can't even draw his prophet, for fears of idolatry). I'm not sure what you're saying.

    It is always about the size of the defect. So it depends on how rusty.

    This guy keeps digging a hole for himself. Officially fired by Marvel, Indonesian artist Ardian Syaf says, ‘When Jews are offended, there is no mercy’

    Apologies, yesterday's price drop was supposed to say $1700 for the FF #10 CGC 9.0 - I've now edited it.

    How is it not a correction when telling somebody using words like "racism" that the topic has nothing to do with race? Words have specific meanings. I realize from previous threads that you don't have a very good grasp of this concept, but come on. Poisoning, shooting and drowning may all kill a person, but that doesn't make them the same. The quotation is both racist (in that Jews are a race) and bigotry (because Christianity is a religion). The reason for the quotation's existence is so that neither group would be able to subvert Islam. They would need to convert to Islam first.

    I knew FF #1 was more expensive in the 1980's, I just couldn't remember which years. Wow, Legion was hot. Keith Geffen, anybody?
  8. VintageComics
    Right, it referenced a chapter and verse. Same thing for all practical purposes. He may have been referencing a political rally but Islam doesn't separate church and state. The verse is sacred and it's meaning is religious. And it was his intent, regardless of what he says.
  9. VintageComics
    Those numbers sound right as I remember dreaming about them around this time. And what was FF #1? Slightly more?
  10. VintageComics
    It is not politics. Any quote from a religious text is a religious statement. Religion by it's very nature is fundamentally intolerant. To say it differently, there is NO tolerance in religion.

    Dang. It's the new board software. I hit 'submit reply' and then closed my computer and ran but I guess it didn't submit. On the old UBB boards it would have submitted. With the new software I guess it didn't take. Well, here are the deets...

    Price includes 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. Consider all books pressed. All books with new CGC labels are in the latest, non-pressurized cases. I will accept returns if item is otherwise not as described.

    Showcase #22 is on hold.
  21. VintageComics
    I've been talking with a few people so there are a few interested parties.

    About right for an average mid grade Yup. As I said earlier, there were other factors involved with the prices of those record setting AF #15's. They all had improvable defects, exceptional appeal or both.
  23. VintageComics
    Yep. You also could have someone trying to upgrade the book bidding against someone who just wants to own a copy. Eye appeal (or state of preservation and page quality as was the case with peewee's FF #1 purchase which set a price record a few years ago for a mid grade copy) generally pushes the envelope.
  24. VintageComics
    That is certainly a possible new trend growing, as old school collectors who read comics move out of the hobby and new collectors whose main experience is with slabbed books and not unslabbed books in decades past.

    Wow, that really is! Am I missing something or has CGC's grading changed significantly from how they were grading books back in the summer and fall of 2016? Sure looks like a ton of wear along the spine and the upper edge from what I am looking at. Methinks you need to learn how to grade. You keep beating the same drum about the same two books. You have no idea what those books look like outside of the holder, how much of the book is being held together with tape etc. You can't grade a book from a cover scan, right? So why do you keep trying to? That 4.5 had many improvable defects (just guestimating from what I saw in the scans) and it sold (rightly so) for an outlier price. Someone obviously thinks that book was worth 5.5-6.0 money. It also could have simply gone through a 'tight' period. It's certainly a VERY nice looking 4.5. This is also proof that CGC DOES INDEED downgrade for pressable defects. Something that has been argued in the past.
