I was assuming it's not grading the sig's authenticity, but its quality. Like Stan Lee's sigs would get worse and worse as the day went on(get this guy a new sharpie!) and as his age increased, but some of his sigs looked like he used a stamp, which would be "A" grade sigs to me. 

Could it also be signature placement??? These are two Zeck signatures I got at Baltimore ComicCon about 10 years back. The SW8 def has better eye appeal even though the two signatures look pretty much the same.  Would the SW8 get a better signature grade??? 

Missed this one. Need to tighten up my searches.

Picked up a really sharp Secret Wars #9. Same seller had a #4 that I missed out on. 
        
 

Are there any Secret Wars #1 with the MJ insert?  I’ve seen examples of most of the other Secret Wars books but not #1. 

Still slowly chipping away.

Funny story. Sent to CGC, got it back...

...without the label noting it was a Mark Jewelers insert. 

They did same thing to the one I posted on the previous page (8).  The one in the pic is the reholder to correct the label. 

Question about determining the purchase cost of comics whose later sales are reflected in on a 1099-k from eBay.  Say a 10 comic lot is purchased for $1000.  Is it acceptable to assign a flat $100 purchase expense to each comic in that lot or is the seller obligated to prorate the cost of each book based on market value when some books in the lot have more value that others?  

Interested in opinions on whether this issue is a genuine MJ insert or owner added.  The bottom staple has one prong sheered off.  Not sure how this would happen unless it was bent open and broke when being bent back closed.  Also the insert is a matted card stock and not glossy print like the other MJ inserts I own. Thanks!

Now there's a great example of what can happen when 3 or 4 Mark Jeweler enthusiasts are all going for the same comic book.   

That last second action was crazy wasn’t it. My bid didn’t even register! 

Wonder if it was a boardie who snagged this:

Is it odd that CGC didn't lay out the grade? for each cover? like they normally do? 

I had that happen several years back and had to send back as ME for a reholder to get a corrected label. 

Let me know when the Rogue One #1’s start showing up. 😁

Thanks @DR.X for another very fun week before Christmas and a very cool and generous prize!!!!

Thanks.  ~75% of the PROPS goes to @Still Only 35c

I kind of like the round, to me it fits better on the Spidey Covers, but I do prefer the Starburst.

I have both a sweat-shirt and t-shirt with the Still 35c in Starburst. Forget where online I found them about 7 years back.

Enjoying this thread but I prefer this Starburst. 😁

Disappointing start to the year.  Kudos to MyComicShop’s customer support team though. My search continues !
