Cocomonkey

It isn't listed on their calendar. https://www.cgccomics.com/events/Index.aspx Not sure about dealers submitting for you, though.

I'll throw in my two cents.

Least you got the 2nd batch of cherrypicked boxes for cheaper than the first batch...if you keep going back periodically, maybe you'll eventually get it all at a decent price

Kind of hard to tell, but yeah, it seemed like there may have been a few more this year. But it may have just been because part of Javits was under construction, so everything felt a bit crunched--that could've given an impression of there being more comic dealers..

250,000 copies of polybagged X-Force 1. Just think about when that explodes...

I still have it on my bucket list (my biggest blocker has been that my job is somewhat seasonal in its insanity, and the highest peak of craziness hits me at the end of July...). But just once. I know it isn't about the comics as much anymore, but I just want to enjoy the experience at least once, see the cosplay on the floor, attend some screenings/panels, all that jazz. I've done NYCC 7 of the last 8 years (and don't plan to stop attending) and have watched that become less about comics and more about everything else, and I've come to keep enjoying it (possibly even enjoying it more now) by just accepting and rolling with that. I hit up more panels, see more screenings, and sweep through the comics area in between those as often as I can (panels = nice breaks sitting down and resting...). I wish it was still more about the comics, but then it wouldn't be the draw that it is. ...it also helps that I can usually barely scrape together a $3-400 budget for myself for spending at NYCC each year, so spending too much time in the vendor area outside of the bargain bins tends to just be a bit painful, heh. Until this year, when I hope my X-Men 1 fund will finally hit its target goal...

True, true.

Maybe if this works, someone'll do something similar around NYCC...

I submit through my LCS generally, would that still get me notes? Or at that point, would I need to pay for them?

Jealous! Been looking for that Pressman for a while now. Congrats!

Just got these back recently...sent them in not because of the movie hype, but because I've always had a fondness for the title, and these have been on my mental list of books to send in for a while. Pretty sure I picked them both out of dollar boxes--sadly, the days of finding it there are likely gone, heh. Wish I'd grabbed more of them when I had the chance, now... I was a bit surprised by the spread. I knew one copy was better than the other, but I didn't see them as being that far apart. (I was also hoping the 9.2 would inch a little higher.) Oh well. Guess if I had a better eye for it, I'd still be in the March Madness

I'm definitely somewhere on this spectrum. If I see dollar boxes that're bagged and boarded, I'll probably look through most or all of it. If it isn't, but it's sorted at least by title or letter, I'll go through just for my want list, so just 1-2 titles/letters. If it's totally unsorted or sorted at too high a level, though (like company), I'll probably pass them by unless it's just a single box or two, or in a situation where there may be anything in there (i.e., flea market or garage sale). I understand that it may not be worth the time/return to bag and board dollar books, but I already see them as more likely to have condition issues if they're loose, and to sort through 10+ boxes of loose, unsorted books just to find non-key run filler, or worse, to find out that there aren't any for the title(s) I want, or not any of the ones I need...I find myself more likely to just keep walking. But that's just me.

What changed? I still show up on the bracket list as 9-9...

My horribly wrong guesses are in!

HAHAHAHA I scored my birthday. I'm good with that. I wasn't negative, and I fully expected to be.

So that's what happened to Fury's eye! Stan Lee poked it out with a sharpie

I'm at 100% for this auction. That's right, a perfect 0 for 0!

Is it a spider? Because that seems like an appropriate bonus...

Nice! Any Timely superhero books, or just DC/Fawcett?

Welcome!

What are these? Where do you get them/how much are they?

What, no 10s?

Hehe. Jokes aside, they look nice! What did the 39 and 40 grade out as? The light is completely blocking the grades, and that 39 looks nice.

I think the brightness might be from that light source in the UL corner...
