  1. If that’s a 9.8, then I have a whole lot of 15.0s in my collection.
  2. I’d say it’s 100% not Darick Robertson either. Looks more like something Prince would’ve changed his name to in the ‘90s.
  3. I’m not putting my credentials on display here, I’ve said enough. I’ll just close by saying that you’re demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of what is actually going on.
  4. @James J Johnson - I know you’re of the opinion that no civilian anywhere can competently defend themself, and that’s cool. You can be a patsy if you like. But there’s plenty of folks walking around this country that will prove that assertion very wrong. Talking about Graham’s loop location once more - the doorway is an immediate fatal funnel. The front windows can be secured by a few strategically placed busted out display cases filled with broken glass. Two people with solid fundamentals in the use of a 12 gauge can accomplish the rest.
  5. Another modern that's showing some renewed vigor lately, Amazing Spider-Man 316 features an early Venom appearance with a classic McFarlane cover to boot. Recent action has this book crossing the $400 threshold in 9.8. But since I get to keep my 10% that eBay or ComicLink would normally take, let's call this guy -- $370 shipped.
  6. Let's move a book featuring everyone's friendly neighborhood Venom. Wait, I think I got that wrong... Necessities first: Payment: In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check/money order/Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance. Payment due within 10 business days. Shipping (domestic): Book will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail. International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost. Please inquire first for an accurate quote. Returns: No returns on CGC books as you know what you're getting. On the HoS? Don't bother. Probation list? Message me first and we'll talk about your situation, but don't be overly optimistic. Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn. And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page). First wins the book outright, offers always welcome. Onward!
  7. Pics borrowed from last thread, please ask if you need any more!
  8. The pictures will tell a pretty good story of the overall condition, but there are two notes of significance (these should be visible in the pics too): - Someone, for some unknown reason, added an extra staple mid-spine. I can't fathom why as the spine is still structurally solid and attached - There is a piece of tape on the interior of the front cover along the outer edge. This appears to have been done to reinforce a few minor tears. The general consensus on this one from the thread I bought it from was 3.0 - 4.0, and I'm leaning more toward 3.0 - 3.5 due to the above. Poking around the web, blue label 3.5s don't seem to have any trouble clearing $200 these days, while the 3.0s are creeping up on that threshold. So let's split the difference, call my book a 3.25, substract out a value tier grading and some associated fees, and come up with an ask of... $160
  9. Hello again all. Up for sale here is a copy of Silver Surfer 3, which has been taking off in popularity lately. I picked this one up on the boards a few months ago (shout out to @devo3000x) along with #4 and wasn't really sure if I was going to keep this one. Obviously I made my decision. Necessities first: Payment: In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check/money order/Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance. Payment due within 10 business days. Shipping (domestic): Book will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail. Shipping is included in book price. International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost. Please inquire first for an accurate quote. Returns: With raws, I do accept returns if I've failed to disclose a significant flaw or we wildly, yet logically, disagree on the grade. On the HoS? Don't bother. Probation list? Message me first and we'll talk about your situation, but don't be overly optimistic.

  10. Good on you, I’ve been doing the same. Hopefully I get a phone call too.
  11. I’m aware. But Chicago-ly speaking, dismissals are already up 10% overall, about 100 out of thousands were arrested, 24 cases are pending = CPD knows the score. And they aren’t wasting their time or risking their safety. Just look at what it took to get a certain sommelier (re)charged. It’s a sad state of affairs.
  12. And I’d wager good dollars there’s going to be at least one more organized loop/mag mile looting spree before the weather turns.
  13. I’ll be brief, because last time I posted a more thorough explanation I caught a case with the mods - A certain someone in Cook County is going to drop charges against 95% of the people from last weekend. You may not hear about it, but it will happen.
  14. Best - X-Men 85 & 86. Expected 8.0s, both came back 9.4. Worst (tied) - Wolverine 65 and x2 Origin 6. Obviously expecting 9.8s, got 8.0s instead. Grading ego bruised.
