I agree.

Just reading some of the comments listed with the videos shows examples of this.

ArkhamComicsLasVegas is aware of this thread and his latest video discusses some of the comments here. Just full disclosure I guess, figured some here might want to know, others won't care. Either way.....Welcome to the Boards ArkhamComicsLasVegas!

Garbage @Kwan Chang! All three are complete garbage! LOL, man those are fantastic! Congrats and can't wait to see the others!

Nice store find and nice comics @DavidTheDavid!

...and off to read the "Thwip" thread!

I wasn't @lizards2 but I did agree with your statement. Three videos is more than enough to get the the guys feelings on graded comics. I usually run into folks that have their pro and con feelings on graded books I just have never heard the conspiracy theory approach that this gentleman has was all. Thought it might lead to bit of discussion and it did. Have a great day everyone!

RIP

I skipped to the rant at the end, I always do. I won't post anymore links of his videos.

New one is out, with CGC predictions. LOL. I love watching these...

Good god! Congrats @somewhereintexas!

He also chimes in on Jim Starlin.....

ArkhamComicsLasVegas really doesn't like graded comics... I like watching people open their CGC boxes, I find it fun to see the books they get back. To me it's the video format of the "Just got back from CGC thread." While doing a search of CGC in YouTube I came upon ArkhamComicsLasVegas and some of his comic book collecting/CGC rant videos. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course but as I listened to some of his videos it just seemed as though he was uninformed about how CGC operates, this of course is my opinion. I posted his latest video below. If there is already a thread out there in regard to his videos let me know and I will delete this one. I did a search prior to creating this one and didn't find any. I am sure many of you that have been getting books graded longer than me have run into people with similar feelings about graded books. His major point seems to be that grading is subjective, which it is, and that there is no consistency with CGC grades. He also doesn't like the qualified label. I found this video and his others...interesting....same with the comments associated with each. Have a great day everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwE1trkx9D0&t=394s

RIP Adam West.

RIP Adam West.

Yeah, I just bought one of the color, unsigned, ungraded copies of this book. I love Natali Sanders work.

@Califelix I love the Batgirl. @ivdyer that Val Kilmer piece is fantastic!

It was pretty cool.

The problem with some of the artists/writers checking eBay or the selling forums here for their signatures is they see a BIN of $500 for a book and may assume that is what all of their books go for due to their signature on a book. Maybe that is a crazy BIN the seller posted but the artist/writer thinks all of them sell for that due to their signature on the cover. If the artist/writer sees a certain book has sold for a large sum over cover price they may not understand it was maybe for a hot variant, that graded high and just so happens to have their signature on it. Maybe it was a key issue with their signature on it and graded high? The bulk of that price paid may have been due to the book in question plus the grade and not their signature alone. Adam Hughes sees a signed Harley Quinn #1 variant SS graded 9.8 sell for $700 and think his signature is worth $670 dollars or so when it is not. I have no problem paying for a signature. Like Adonis I paid a lot of signature fees to celebrities, artists, and writers this past weekend at MegaCon Orlando but I hate getting lumped in with flippers. I submitted 6 Adam Hughes books to the CGC booth and paid the $60 ($10 a book) in total signing fees Adam Hughes requested. I then made a point to go tell Adam Hughes how much I love his work and try to buy everything he creates. I bought a print for $50 and had it signed which I always do when I meet him. I have 6 or 7 prints and his "How to Draw" DVD which fascinates me every time I watch it. He asked me if I had any books for him and told him yes that they were at the CGC booth. That earned me an eye roll and OK next look. I have yet to sell any CGC or CGC SS books. His signed books hang on a wall in my home. A window boarded book now means you are flipper too. It has nothing to do with me trying to protect the comic or anything....

Great (sarcasm).

I am. Most will not be 9.8 but I love the covers and don't intend to sell them. Got 8 prepped right now will probably bump that down to 5.

That's a great question kav.

Awesome (sarcasm).

Can the Harley Quinn Rebirth set be updated please? I have a couple of books to add but the set only goes to #4. The books I am trying to add are: Book: Harley Quinn #8 Cert #: 1506141006 Book: Harley Quinn # 16 Cert #: 1506141005 I am also trying to add 4001 A.D. Shadowman #1 but a set does not exist to add it to. Book: 4001 A.D. Shadowman #1 Cert #: 1506141003

I agree. Could have been handled far better than it was.
