Admit it, it was the rollercoaster that sold you on this one.

Journey 112 has sold by pm.

I remember corresponding with this guy about an ASM 1 that he gave a made-up backstory and a grade with more hyperinflation than a $1 trillion Zimbabwe. Let's just say that if you ever need motivation to walk into traffic, I suggest sending him a message through eBay. You'll lose your faith in humanity fast.

Next we have Thor 168, very popular of late. 8.0 blue with off-white to white pages. I see three recent 7.5 sales around the $500 mark, let's put the ask on this guy at $550 shipped

First up is Journey Into Mystery (JIM for short, JAMES for formal) 112, blue label 7.0 with off-white pages. Classic Thor vs. Hulk cover and story. Per slabwatch, a 6.5 ow/w recently went for $700 + shipping on eBay, so let's call this guy $725 shipped sold.

Happy Friday all. Welcome to the first sales thread assembled from my new house (my ex-wife-to-be got the old house ) Necessities first: Payment: In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check / money order / Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance. Payment generally due within 10 business days. However, time payments are an option on purchases $750+. PM me in advance to discuss though. Shipping (domestic): Book(s) will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail. Domestic shipping is included in the listed price. 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? Probation list? Or I simply don't like you (aka on my ignore list)? Don't bother. 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 posted in the thread wins a book outright (so don't PM it to me, a thread take it wins out regardless of time stamp), well reasoned offers always considered.

I'm guessing they're separate incidents. Though you'd think if the guy does have convictions for all of those offenses on his record, the police would be a bit more inclined to investigate him for felony theft.

So I take it C2E2 won’t be getting a long overdue dose of Henn in 2021? 😢

Hey cut him some slack, for all we know he's susceptible to sunburn. Indoors.

Well Chuck is always crying poor too, so maybe the MS DOS level website helps him maintain that image.

I had an X-Men 1 with a similar problem way back when, and Matt Nelson, circa pre-CCS, did an outstanding job correcting it. Post-CCS, without him being involved anymore...I think I'd find a well regarded third party presser and use them instead.

Saturday and Sunday, yes, but Friday is definitely cut short. Maybe because the kids will be in school in October?

If I manage to take my roadtrip vacation this year, I think Mile High is going to be one of my stops. Like everyone else has said, it seems like a really cool place to see, and I'd probably buy a something or three just as a thanks for letting me hang out and gawk for a few hours.

Sadly no, but it did look like prime potting soil. My guess is plant matter was decaying in there for quite a while.

Well for the previous owners it was a once in a never job, as evidenced by the 4 feet of solid dirt I found clogging one…

Take @15% off

All sold already?! This is what I get for cleaning and rehanging my downspouts instead of focusing on buying comics…

Tough to argue with what works.

These floor hours kinda suck... Friday, October 15, 2021 - 4:00pm – 9:00pm Saturday, October 16, 2021 - 10:00am – 7:00pm Sunday, October 17, 2021 - 10:00am – 4:00pm

Like I said, best of luck to you.

Well for starters, you replied to StarV100 by focusing on one little word in his post that he wasn't even applying to CCG. Then you cited a timeframe. So let's talk timeframes -- 20 years in, CGC is still plagued by awful turnaround times, QC issues, staffing trouble, and complaints of inconsistent grading. One could easily make the argument they aren't operating as efficiently, or profitably as they could. 20 years, 1 owner (or more, has CCG changed hands before, I honestly don't know). Marvel/Timely -- For 5 or 6 decades, they were primarily in the print business, and on the fringes of TV and radio entertainment. I'm not sure how many different entities owned the company during that time, but I believe it was at least 3 or 4. 1996...Marvel bankrupt. Possibly the lowest point in the company's history, thank you Ron Perelman. In the aftermath, Perelman gets ousted. 2000, the Avi Arad brokered X-Men film is released, and the rest is history. 2021, Marvel is printing money for Disney. If you can't understand the parallels, best of luck to you.

It's how the game is played, not everyone gets a trophy. Or atrophy. Blackstone wants to throw some of its money around and be in the landlord business, that's their right. Just like their tenants don't have to rent from them.

That's just semantics. How many years and many owners did it take before Marvel finally unlocked the full potential of its properties?
