  1. Appreciated! By and by, I saw when he had sketch opportunities within the past couple of years at cgc. The ones obtained and posted on the boards to see echoed the same, although some of the Electra were still nice and the ones mentioned ie Moon Knight would be a "go to" for being well done imo. I liked those the best Glad it's a shared opinion! @Ken Aldred
  2. Anyway it was an honest question but might have been a tangent. I haven't seen many collectors of him, maybe not a lot of his posts in the thread. Was just looking for a frame of reference since I got Moon Knight recently by him. All I really "knew" of him was the new mutant issues and as a kid those weirded me out The Moon Knight looks decent and I can see the New Mutants being appreciated. Just didn't know Bill's history.
  3. Does anyone remember the Joe Jusko artbook? I pulled out my childhood copy, I only had book number four of four of the Joe Jusko Masterpiece Collection
  4. I can only imagine your "feel like temp" It was 14 degrees with a feel like of 0 this morning upon waking up, however no snow nor precipitation and all good for being toasty inside the house!
  5. we still need a new case, don't get me wrong. By standing behind their "guarantee with the case" cgc saves face, when it was an internal problem that needs to be addressed as well. Ok I'm spinning again no worries
  6. I'm not against this theory, but I can't see it as one person for a few years. It was a department and the overall process was inadequate. I made a post about that awhile back... how does CGC adequately differentiate between tampering and accidents. I'm not sure they can. Truly!!! I appreciate the confirmation! Because this all sounds like a smokescreen to me. Because everyone went on and on "about the case" now cgc is latching on to use it as an excuse to stand behind their "guarantee" to get books back and remove them, everyone will then "forget." It is kind of why I talked so much about the videos that it wasn't "the main point or concern", and I was struggling to get any point across, where it looked like I was a pariah. My apologies
  7. I already posted it there for him, yesterday when he first posted @Cat
  8. For whatever reason to collect this and what I vaguely remember was the other Campbell or Michael Turner, they speak to a time when these were cheesecake covers They will have collectors who remember them I'd like them, but I'm in the same boat that I'd get them only if convenient It is why I posted to begin with, I sympathize, but they do really represent that time in comics. Today probably has the same thing going on somewhere, but I haven't bought many of them either. I had a LCS try to tell me that "all Dave Stevens" are "big bucks", while I understand why they are, most recently they were found in the $1 bin: same kind of deal. Still fun
  9. Thanks that sums it up nicely. I wonder if not directly impacted, with legal council I'd get all 700 slabs redone for free I see the "tamper" evidence litigation speech, so I'll take one last moment to post I "get it now", just didn't make sense to me that tampering with the case had anything to do with the CGC guy not inspecting the book. For the sake of everyone else, I'm stubborn too sometimes
  10. I guess as mentioned it is a small pittance to be offered the value of the swapped book, and that Lord willing they get enough to replace what they had. I await the new holder and the crawl back to normalcy, with reholders and etc. I thought maybe I understood but big picture, it is the masses that are affected. I'm just one guy trying to "get it" Which doesn't matter as long as I'm pretty 😍 and nice?
  11. This went on for 5 pages and felt like 20 to some, but is just me responding in hope that the story is straight. No one came to back me up so it may be lost forever. I've sent cracked cases in for reholder. Really cracked. The case didn't have to look perfect for the book to retain the same grade. Didn't look perfect at all. Which is another lousy excuse for these videos to exist. The person who was supposed to inspect the BOOK at CGC simply didn't do their job. That is why it will be hard for CGC to prove they've fixed anything, because other than firing the reholder guy, there is nothing they can point to and say "that fixes it!" How will some know CGC fixed it, if they are convoluted on the problem after $350+ pages. It's not worth my time, I'm in the same boat with CGC slabs as you and I care too. @comicwiz since you've got patience, did I cover it or am I needing a reality check? I apologize for taking everyones time. the CGC case didn't need an oven and to look perfect to get by CGC, That's kind of the whole point! Sigh 😞😔
