  1. I'm just hoping I am worthy. lots of good stuff.
  2. My apologies @Axelrod random Monty python may be old and misguided material nowadays, I will try to curb the randomness. I sincerely hope there is goodness waiting for you in the raffle. The list could be considered a toss up, I understand going live!
  3. And cgc reholders person not being a grader, not wanting to admit culpability or offer compensation for down grade, or just for whatever reason is going ahead with the recasing
  4. Thread is moving too fast to keep up, but your step 2 regarding inferior slabs (and potentially addressing what someone else was asking about a 9.2): He is resubmitting raw books to have them ENCASED. These are the raw books that were pulled from Universal that he just wants the label for. He sends in both raw books and cased books. He needs sealed inner wells and LABELS, not necessarily high grade. So CGC is just trusting the sealed inner well with label, but maybe enough of the damaged case is there (to whatever percentage) that cgc deems it worthy for straight reholder with no closer inspection...
  5. Still it sounds familiar like there was suspect threads or posts a long time ago, but it could just be a case of deja vu. In short was so random there is no way to search for what I remember. It's the closest info available but could be considered spec.
  6. My favorite martian TV show had antennae but I don't think could "shapeshift" Then there is Marvin the martian but while I'm sure there were comics, idk if they are early enough to be considered 1st iterations. Still fun references haha
  7. page 1, post 3 in video format, or "list" in spoiler
  8. Resharing here, as now maybe people have time to watch the video, but Will also just put a pic of the haul by @grendelbo in spoiler, as it was his first Gift Exchange experience and he knocked it out of the park! Can't wait to see what you get Bo and Merry Christmas 🙏 Spoiler for those who don't have time to watch the ten minute video
  9. I was at the "kitty-power" moment and thought that cat is pretty understanding, then heard the start to "ada-" I looked up as they finished "mantium", and thought thank you CAT for the cuteness. I was rooting for the cat from there on out! #13!!!
  10. That checks out, I point you to the 30 years of comics history mentioned. But I for one find it all convoluted not in logic or progression, but all the moving parts is hard for me to keep track. Carry on 💪😀
  11. Ya I was going to say idk as many males named Bree specifically unless it was short for something, so I guess it bares in mind to finish... "Then I saw her face!"
  12. I don't see it any different than whatever machine they now use to seal the inner well is my point, but I get where you're coming from now, I had to ask too.
  13. I was thinking of searing anything, and I don't know how it would be applied, which is why I asked questions too I was more thinking if it will obstruct the view of the comic? You could always sear or stamp the inner well before the book goes in to be sealed, not sure what you are asking, but in short. "I" certainly don't know
  14. I don't think it turns out that the corners are being glued back in place I think that your proposal is a great solution. I've seen this posted several times, which sounds like an ok thought, but I'm curious... Would the stamp need to be small to not obstruct the view of the comic? Does it matter? Or are we talking a different type seal for the inner well?
  15. It might be a 6.0 now, if that is what you mean... due to market and or copies available. It used to be 7.5 was the median that was well enough, at least for us lower echelon people. I'm sure many still view it as 9.0 or better, I'm happy with 7.5 on older things
  16. You're able to do this from time to time! Kudos! I'm always surprised that they have new newsstands in stock! "New-new" Scott Pilgrim
