    Did you even read his post???

     

    Watch Saturday.

    DC will announce formally that Rebirth spins out of Darkseid War, even though the info is out there informally.

     

    Jusstice League #40-48 will go nuclear then.

    Not today.

    Saturday.

     

    Yup, did you read my response?

     

    So Saturday, not today. As in "Moderns Heating Up" which would imply currently.

     

     

    So .......

     

    Your first complaint to someone posting something they thought was something we should look at was...

     

    Bah its not good because its not a first appearance or special cover

    Which it was

     

    Your second complaint was that he didn't tell you it was?

    Why should he have to?

     

    Finally you resort to "well its not in the right place"

    Bah

     

     

  2. The Gwenom cover illustrates the depth of knowledge of most modern buyers.

    Robbie mentioned in an interview last year that Gwenom was coming, savvy modern speculators bought in then....

    It's fun to heard the sheep.

     

     

    Well, you have this all figured out then....except people don't speculate on comics because of story anymore, it's all about covers and 1st appearances.

     

    Isnt JL 40 the first Grail?

     

    Yes, but that was not the point he was making. When I tried to coax that 1st appearance out of him, hell fell flat on his face.

     

     

    More likely he expected that you would do your own DD on these, or he didn't have the time or energy to fill in the blanks for you

     

    Grail? Everyone knew about her a year ago. Almost a year to the day because of when the FCBD Divergence came out. She will be an appearance worth having some day. Could be next week could be in 5 years.

    Thanks for your heads-up and your opinions Larry , I for one appreciate those that bring us stuff to take a look at :)

  5. Anyone have a appearance list of Duke Thomas...is Batman 21 the true 1st or B&R Futures End.

     

    It's Batman # 21

     

    would We Are Robin 1 variant be considered the 1st appearance of him in a Robin costume....not sure that costume will be the one he wears later on.

     

    No, this issue will be the 1st real appearance. We are Robin is more a group of "Robins".

    At least that's what I've been told when I tried to make that same argument.

     

    Well people tend to go overboard when speculating on 1st appearances of costumes on covers...it could be a 3rd printing and he doesn't even have to be inside the comic for the value to go up. Guess we'll see when Batman 50 comes out.

     

     

    Heres what I see

     

    Batman # 50

     

    Batman

    1. Return of Bruce Wayne

    2. First appearance of Bats, ( new old batman )

    3. Batman new Bat Suit

     

    Robin

    1. First Appearance of Duke Thomas as Robin

    2. New Robin Suit

     

    all for a measly $5.99 lol

     

    No.

    Duke doesn't appear in a Robin suit.

    Sorry.

     

     

    So then there's nothing new in #50 for robin?

    On Duke Thomas we just have his first appearance in Batman Vol 2 # 21 so far.

  7. We should have a thread devoted to arguing.

     

    When it gets to the point where its a he said , she said, we all said the same said

    move it there. Those that want to crack out the the pop corn, and watch, can, those that don't ... don't. Call it "lets argue where others uninterested, don't have to particpate thread"

  8. Or maybe some of you guys are just not professional graders? (shrug)

     

    The difference between a professional and an amateur is that the professional gets paid for their work.

     

    I have gotten back 200 books since Xmas and things seem very consistent to me.

     

    I had a fellow boardie complain about his grades last month. He cracked them out and showed them to me which he then after admitted what he missed. He went from frustrated with CGC to mad at himself. Mistakes of course happen on both sides, but more often than not the submitter failed to see something the professionals saw.

     

    How about when a book is resubmitted and it comes back in a lower grade with no new defects introduced?

     

    Where does that stand in your opinion?

     

     

    According to cgc customer service it's impossible to resubmit a book without it being damaged while opening the slab. Also, you're exaggerating.

     

     

     

    Then why in the world would CGC reps be opening them at cons for signatures?
