Exactly.  Are they grading the box or the film?  It makes no sense to me. 

they are grading the box with the film in it similar to grading a VHS tape bow with the tape in box

As far as the super 8 film itself goes, it does bring up interesting questions as how they are going to grade that: how many home made splices? were the splices tape or cement? frames missing? sprocket holes torn? scenes missing? celluloid scratches? color fade?    it all seems kinda stupid

yeah, I just looked at eBay. shows you how much I know. carry on

 I'd think a Star Wars 200' reel of super 8 for consumer home use may contain some of that missing stuff. I don't care enough to research it myself

I've read that the original star wars as shown in theaters footage simply does not exist anywhere.

huh?

so I'm reading a copy of Fantastic Four #150 (Ultron disrupts the wedding of Crystal and Quicksilver published in 1974), and there is an ad for "FREE 'Collecting Comics As A Hobby' " ad for a booklet. Wondering the years these types of publications started coming out

I want to live the life of THE LEADER!

Coming soon from somebody. Star Wars  is their first Super-8 graded film. What next 16mm graded films? 

Great seller. Shipped fast. Beyond secure packaging.

Had a very frustrating experience recently with Heritage and their shipping dept. and wanted to share to see if anyone else has run into a similar issue.

I won a raw Hawkman #4 book at auction graded FN/VF. Was excited to get it as I have one CGC 7.5 copy and was hoping to add another to my collection.

Imagine my disappointment when the box arrived, looking like it had been delivered by Ace Ventura (see pix).

Obviously, the beat-up box is on FED EX. However, a well-packed comic should have easily survived a rough shipping process.

Except, Heritage shipped the comic without any cardboard to protect it. They just wrapped it in some bubble wrap and a standard bag/board.

As you can see, it didn't protect the comic. Considering they've shipped $300 animation cels to me in heavy duty boxes with cardboard protection, about 2 million packing peanuts & a manila envelope, I could not believe the shoddy shipping for a $1500 comic book.

Heritage did offer a full refund immediately when I let them know what happened, but it's still incredibly frustrating. A great Silver Age comic is ruined because someone was too careless or lazy to pack it properly.

URGH....rant over.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I've had great luck with comics shipped to me. by everybody. folks here, heritage, mcs

curious, once $ is refunded, do they ask for book back?

Sorry if I offended you.  I already checked GoCollect and GPAnalysis. Those prices astonished me!   I pay attention to Neal Adams' Batman and Tec and didn't look enough hard at Marshall Rogers' work.

Your price for Tec 475 is right. I would do same thing.

No offense. I’m trying to say I’m pretty much an insufficiently_thoughtful_person and what I think is kinda..well.., idiotic

Whoa.  I have it for a long time and I didn't realize the value has gone up.  I bought it for $10 in 15 years ago.

Please do your own research as I’m not the end all to be all, however, 300$ seem to be the going (asking) price of a 9.4. 
 

I really spend about 10 minutes looking. I don’t make a vocation of searching the world for comic prices. 

No it’s the same guy. It’s too much. I can’t watch anymore of this guy.  I’m not that bored. And I’m pretty bored now. 

Is this the guy you guys are always raging on? His comic book school seems to cover pressing and investing. He’s irritating to watch

I'm not a hoarder.  But I did just buy several mid 80s Penney's and Sears wish books.  Don't judge me.

I’ve spent some time with the Bra sections of those books. I had no other choice

Yes, it is a complete enough Joker vs. Batman story between 475 & 476, but you would be missing the plot threads and character arcs that Englehart set in motion back in 469 & 470.  The complete run is 469-476.  Marshall Rogers only came on board with 471, so be aware that the first two chapters are penciled by Walt Simonson and inked by Al Milgrom, which wasn't the smoothest combination in my opinion.

Hey Zonker, as long as I'm bugging you (if you know): Why does Detective 475 sell for about 150$ more then Detective 476 in similar grade 

Source: MSC, eBay

I have limited time to shower with books. Detective 475 in 9.4 seem to be selling for around 300$. The ones I saw for 300$ were not centered well. Found this one on eBay centered  perfectly for 349.00. I sent seller a BM offering 300$. they accepted

Nicely centered Detective 475 9.4

thank you. answer I was looking for

If I get issues 475/476 is that complete story? Thank you. 

No lowball. No fine print.

yes...if the seller wants to make a deal, they will usually alter the ebay listing to reflect the new price as a "buy it now" in my experience.

Thank you.

I do it all the time. I do it respectfully. $50 is not "much" unless the seller is asking for $100.

Do you just do it thru “contact seller?”?

Only 50$ less than asking? Do t see “make us an offer” anywhere in listing
