Lower the brightness setting on your scanner, it'll pump up the black

Gonna have everything priced before you set up this time?

Glad I was able to find this when I did.

The why are you here? - Bane

I had a eBay buyer do that to me once, ebay is the only site where a buyer can pull off that BS move. Basically blaming the seller cause you didn't like the way CGC graded it. I always block eBay buyers who pull stunts like that and share their ebay handle with other sellers of graded books I know.

They got rid of the 15% discount, dropped it to 10% and got rid of the cheaper memberships that had the discount so they can force the customer into spending $300 extra a year to "save" a few bucks, Free grader notes was just them throwing their members a bone

Turnaround times could be 3 years, CGC wouldn't care, they'll just tell you to spend more money if you want them back faster

They act like it by not giving modern books 9.8s, so we can call them strict graders

The way CGC is grading now, this will come back a 9.0

If something were to happen to them, it's the employee's rear end on the line since they decide to sign it themselves

When submitting bulk, even with a $2 price increase, on top of the increase from last year, it adds up..Like CGC, we wanna make as much as we can. So what would cost $2200 for a 100 moderns @22.00 is now going to cost us $200 more for the same service, on the same amount of books @24.00...for every submission! You saying to stop whining about the CGC increase to stop submitting is like saying "Stop buying gas if you don't like the increase, oh wait, you still make money going to work"!!

NewWorldOrder = Dave from CC ?

More people should learn how to press and get themselves a UPS/FedEx account.

Don't forget the add on price for fast track Rather than stopping submissions like other grading companies did to get caught up, they just raise the rates to discourage submitters instead

Glad I have a UPS account, they are over charging people on shipping anyway.

correct

Daredevil is another under valued run

Grader notes Light spine stress lines break color very light bend top of back cover

I wish my stock portfolio had the same ROI as my AF 15 or my OA

You don't have to drain your account to get a mega key. Plenty of key books that are still affordable that have a lot of growth potential like FF48-50, Single digit ASM, FFs and X-Men. Even Daredevil I'd say is a sleeper title with a lot of future growth, 1-50 is a good bet. JIM 84-95, ToS 38-52. Bronze/Copper ASM under 350. Early Ghost Rider appearances MS 6-11 also very good in 9.4+ Don't sleep on 2nd or 3rd appearances of major characters since their 1st appearances will be out of reach for most collectors will reach for these other early appearances. DC side of things if Marvel isn't your cup of investing tea...Stick to Batman keys.

"Don't wait for a market correction" - Peter Lynch This is where buying quality comes in, if "Spending all your money on comics" and now someone has to live in their parent's basement cause their comic portfolio didn't pan out, then said investor bought a bunch of junk he speculated on. This is where educating yourself comes in. Same with buying stocks. Do you invest in Apple/Amazon stock or do you buy shares of Gamestop? What would be better 20 years from now? Translate it to comics, do you buy an AF 15 or Daredevil V2 #9 ? Most people would be like "Well I'll go with the DD 9 cause it's cheap and her netflix show is coming, rather than doing everything they can to get an AF 15 which, while expensive now, will seem cheap in 20 years while people who bet the farm on DD 9, will be left holding the bag...but hey, waste your money on Buy what you like right?

They also want top of market yet they say they don't care about value.

A lot of these guys on here don't like the money aspect of comics, they'd rather just buy and read and try and frustrate new collectors when they ask about comics as alternative investments to get them to think like they do.

It's fine

They've been that price for awhile now
