Richard Comely teaches cartooning at the local University and drops into the local comic shop once in a while.

You're welcome.

I'd get a safe that holds bullion as well. Almost time for another round of buying.

Following you. You have the good stuff.

21 cm x 33 cm ...actually a few millimetres smaller but that should do you. 2.54 cm in an inch so 8.26" x 12.99"

Looks like a killer copy! This copy is from an Original Owner collection I just picked up. I'm pretty excited!

Just awesome.

Freak.

Unfortunately, for the time being I am not. Just too expensive for me to play with at this time. I live vicariously through the pics of others!

Was he sick last night? Strong fly bug going around these parts...

That is a gorgeous comic.

Hey, stranger.

Borock has come on in the past and repeatedly stated that if someone can build a better slab, CGC would gladly use that idea.

But pressing isn't "new" starting today. It's been going on for a while. You don't think people have been looking at Hulk 181s for the past few years? The reality is, pressing a book into a 9.9 isn't like just turning the press to "11" and watching the magic happen. Books that can grade out at 9.9/10 are FREAKS of preservation, to find a book with a slight, pressable flaw that could turn into a 9.9 is probably just as rare as finding a true 9.9, just because it's got to be an uncanny combination of issues. + infinity to the part in green. What normally gets perfectly preserved books a 9.8 instead of a mint grade is almost never pressable. Tiny bindery tears, tiny flecks of white at a corner, tiny, nearly imperceptible spine tics on otherwise perfect books. I would love to hear anyone post a "press to 9.9" story, because I don't think one exists except for people that are pressing moderns. +1, something as simple as a scratch in the gloss will keep a book from grading 9.9. Completely different universe when compared to lower grades.

Wolverine is no small thing, right? Canadian man-love. An awesome sight to behold. Yes, I like short hairy men with big forearms. You got me.

Wolverine is no small thing, right?

Silvers, go for a barefoot walk in the snow. Can I be naked and walk around the earth like adam once did? Without getting arrested for being drunk in public and indecent exposure? I think as long as nobody sees you it's ok. (thumbs u

sorry, had to stop and take a breath.
