So the "Netflix" Daredevil is back. What happened to that PG-13 She-Hulk version? well who knows and who cares 

never mind

CGC needs first to create a form in their website where you could check if a slab has pictures and grader notes. Second give some timeline when the new slab will arrive. Third in that new slab the inner sleeve must have a ID-number as well and some CGC Hologram or something like that so you cannot just go to Target/Home Depot to fake those. Of course the inner sleeve ID-number must be seen inside the slab.
Finally if they can make a slab which is harder to crack then do that but anyways the inner sleeve is the most important thing not the slab.

I think 2024 Conventions are going to be interesting. Something like this might happen:

Customer: Hi, I am interested on couple of your CGC slabs.
Dealer: Okay, here.
Customer: Nice. I brought this highly sought after key to trade. It is a blue label 8.5. Which FMV seems to be about the same as those two books.
Dealer: Let me check. Ou it does not have any pictures in CGC-site.
Customer: Yes, it is a older one.
Dealer: In that case I cannot go forward with the trade. How about if you crack the slab and I can
personally check the comic book.
Customer: Hmm.. well okay. CRACK. Here you go.
Dealer: Yes, every think seems to be in order. It is a VF-NM copy with no restoration. So the FMV for raw VF-NM is $$. So I could trade one of my books to that.
Customer: But those don't have pictures in CGC-site neither. So if you can just crack those slabs and we can make a trade.
Dealer: You must joking! My slabs are good.
Customer: Crack the slabs!
Dealer: I think we cannot do business so have a nice day!

WTH is wrong with Colossus?

 

Cover is fine but like with many Liefelds art you should not look it too long unless you want to find something wrong with it. Like those guns. Is that Spiral holding those guns? It cannot be 6 different person. Can it?!?

After seeing that CGC slab opening video this video came to my mind

Guy is a dope.

We've already seen that he, as Automatic Comics, stole info from comicwiz in his comments, deleted them,, and stated it was his discovery

Gotta get them views huh!

Interesting is it a retailer variant or a con/store variant. First copy I have seen.

I believe it is just a normal ratio variant which is rare because hardly any store wanted to order 50 copies of X-factor 250 in 2013.

Great film. Good balance with scenes with people and Godzilla. Also the human characters were much more meaningful than previous Japan Godzilla films. Also the film looks and sounds nice. 

Yeah I only read the beginning. Agreeing about the value stamp missing.

If a seller knowingly misrepresents what they are selling that is fraud. It does not matter that the case has a blue label. If the seller knows that the book is mislabeled and does not divulge that the book is labeled incorrectly because of the missing value stamp they are misrepresenting what they are trying to sell which is fraud.

What would you say if someone lets say water cleans, photo bleaches.. (or whatever those advance cleaning techniques are) comic book which should get you a purple label but some of those comes as blue label.  Winner winner chicken dinner.

I'm glad we have the green label Hulk 181 example to make it crystal clear to folk just how bad this guy is, and why he needs to be stopped. 

Maybe there are other people also doing the same thing?!? I think that is more likely.

1. CGC must regrade all submissions even if it is simply because the outer case has been scuffed, scratched, damaged in anyway.

Only this. Even thou I bet there would be cases where people would be whining about getting a lesser grade but if CGC writes that policy on their website on capital letters that every submission will be graded then I think it is okay.

The hidden two-player mode in Super Punchout was hidden even longer but in this case one of the developers told about this feature so this may not have been ever discovered. Crazy that they have shipped a game which gives you the option to bypass PS1 copy protection

Message deleted. Already posted video

No, I don't think he will sell any tickets. Like yes 2011 after Drive or 2016 after La La Land but in 2023 I dunno.

Convention comic book buys

Nice find that Cheval Noir 7.

X-factor 250 1/50 variant

I have this book. I bought it almost a year ago for 40$ after thinking and checking for some time. Did not find any sold listings and it was not for sale in MyComicShop. I also check CGC consensus and Comichron and after all that I was kinda sure that this must be a rare comic book. Finally I was like whatever just buy the damn thing and well it is a X-men related book even thou I never cared too much about X-factor and I think the cover is kinda bad.

this movie was no where as bad as people made it out to be

certainly far more watchable than some recent disney movies

Yes it was. Worst thing about that movie is that is so boring. Only maybe Morbius is worst than this. FF I fell sleep after maybe an hour and with Morbius I turned off after 20 minutes.

I would say comics as a investment are unstable. Yeah modern raw book can go from 100$ -> 10$ in bad auction/bad spec but a Silver age key can go from 10 000$ -> 5 000$. 
Best advice about comics is collect what you like. That what I have done buy stuff I want and being in mindset that yes I will loose money and for stuff I don't care I have bought from dollar bins..

(sorry, I should have said 12 years, not 15)

The short game has already proven to not work a zillion times over. It's why DC has been floundering and Marvel has sucked. 5 years is not enough to build a true, new cinematic universe. 

What did you have against the Avengers Endgame story arc that started in 2008 and ended in 2019? It was probably the greatest movie story arc in cinematic history. 

 

Movies need to make money. You do understand that? That Endgame story arc consisted on bunch movies that were all successful in box office. In the current shape Marvel is the Kang story arc only lasted one movie of number ?? of movies they may have planned.

Can you imagine a 15 year, 25 movie story arc, building up the Fantastic Four and the X-men meeting in a final showdown against some great villain team up like Thanos, only replaced by Doom?

Everyone would love it. Almost nobody would complain, just like almost nobody complained about the Avengers story arc that culminated in End Game. 

It's almost like the entire planet is brainwashed to want to ruin everything on purpose. So strange. 

No and I hope not. How about maybe 5 year story arc at the most.

I am “awww shucking” at picking up my ASM 10 upgrade last year from a 5.0 to a 7.5 for $1250 only for another copy to sell this week on Comiclink in the same grade for $850.  I would kill myself if I spent $22,000 on a copy of Pikachu’s Adventure on Wii only to see it sell in the same condition for $600.

and in normal retro game collecting loosing 400$ value in something would be "catastrophic" so these graded games really are something

Chrono trigger, Gradius 3, Castlevania 3, Space Manbow, Streets of Rage 2

Retro game market is doing just fine. People are buying retro games and playing them

Well I don't know what CGC means by CIB vs Complete but it should mean the same thing but there are some people (   ) who say
CIB stands for Cart+Instructions+Box and Complete means that it has all of those plus lets say a map or poster. I would avoid sellers who advertise games as CIB and those are missing something.
