  1. I thought that they could just fill out a CGC form? So instead of a "person witness"...I (think that is what you mean by "facilitator") instead of going through the process of printing out a COA etc. that had to be a hassle when he first started that...and he has to "print" a new one for every different book, I always thought that the reason that he didn't do CGC was because he "didn't want to ahem sell out and make it expensive" or that is what I heard somewhere, probably heresay but just a thought, I wouldn't have the guts to ask him in person at a con lol so I don't blame anyone else not wanting to ask ....

  2. I had bought Marvel Premiere 16 (not mark jeweler) Nice to see that in 17 Iron Fist got to the citadel. I couldn't afford 15 at the time and since 16 was cheap I bought it. I had never really read an Iron Fist comic....so I read 16 since it was the second part of the origin, at the end of the book it said citadel was next, I never thought to google 17 to see the cover lol would make an interesting read none the less :)

  3. Got an email from campbell website, Venom 3 variant can be ordered- signed on January 21st 9 am mountain time, only comes signed -- $175

     

    I don't think that a lot of people liked it but heads up anyway in case no one has talked about it nor checked their email yet :)

     

    anybody thought about asking Campbell through instagram or facebook, whichever he responds to most often, if he would consider offering a service to get the books SS'd with CGC?? like neal adams and perhaps other artists do... I mean a COA is okay and all but idk

  4. I'm curious too :)

     

    I had some comics at CGC and called and got one pulled to send for pressing, they told me turnaround times could be up to 4 months :wishluck: AND they seemed pretty certain...

     

    I called to get one pulled last week, so I don't know when yours were submitted or if they have been yet but maybe that will give you "some idea"

  5. my 129 is at cgc right now...I miss it

     

    It is now graded and should ship today :) It was graded CGC 3.0 as far as I know it didn't get any dislcosures for the tape that was on it when I got it that I took off, probably why it graded so low, but at least it is yellow label with the only disclosure Signed by Stan Lee and Mark Jeweler Insert :) at least I didn't end up getting any "restoration" lol I didn't have to invest too much into it either, I still have my ASM 134 MJI at CGC should be back in a couple of weeks :0 with my ASM 135 MJI I'll have the short run I was going for.

     

    Post a pic when I get it, though with no scanner that'll do CGC graded items it'll be a low quality pic....

  6. I was dissapointed that when you turn it on there was not a way to go online and purchase more games or a game list of others etc I love the games they have it brought back memories but still give me more. Makes me think they'll have another one in the future with different games idk

     

    for 50 bucks or whatever, there's plenty of value, IMO

     

     

    I agree :) it just left me wanting more lol it isn't a diss more of a that was good now let me try other games that I couldn't get my parents to buy/rent when I was 7 years old lol but I hear you though

  8. makes sense about OA so thanks, I didn't really know how it worked. If someone could fabricate OA then they Could in Theory fabricate documents.

     

    I had looked into it with Neal Adams and his convention quickies, sketchcards etc.; I emailed them about COA' type stuff and the general feel that I got was basically there were none.

     

    I don't know why, but I always thought with published peice's there would be some kind of documentation considering how expensive, one of a kind, and etc.....

     

     

    you might laugh but with all the fuss over CGC witness with sketch, sig series, etc it makes OA kind of a ballsy thing to me idk

     

  9. I don't know much about original art.......but

     

    did it come with authenticity?

     

    Maybe that's a no/no question, not sure. But was curious. I'll just assume Yes, but I'd be interested in original art, but having never bought any maybe my question would be better asked in another forum... :foryou:

     

    OA collectors don't really care for coa.

     

    Thanks for the feedback :)

     

    Is it because of any certain idea? such as Artist's signature or it's obvious that it is a particular peice from a Comic: cover, splash page, etc. and not a recreate? Just curious, because of uproar over witness CGC sketches, sigs, etc.------idk I can read it in OA forum, I've already read a little but it was all still a little fuzzy, didn't know if there was a short answer.... :)

  11. I'll let someone else say for sure, but the gaps may make room for more "backing boards" to put in to make it sturdy,.....Also there may be a backing board to fit the sleeve, but I don't do a lot of "shipping" comics so I'm sure someone else knows better than me (especially about Golden Age)

     

    I always meant to ask is the cover attached at the staples?

     

    OR at least attached enough? I mean as long as they are attached when CGC grades it you know...I didn't keep up with how your going to get it to CGC for grading, if it is shipping then I hope all goes well :)

     

    Anyway, still so happy for you !!! :)

  12. :sorry: I didn't mean to kill the thread.... (or maybe I didn't idk)

     

    I was hoping someone would say when the classic nes would be back in stores :)

     

     

    If it is back at $65 dollars when it hits stores again more power to ya :) (I'll hit the floor though, end of rantrant

     

  13. Waiting for retail, if only we were all that patient :)

     

    I called Christmas Eve here in Dallas to a place called Movie Trading Company who all I asked was how much did they cost and when would they get some more....

     

    They weren't sure how much and then I was put on a waiting list

     

    30 minutes later they call and say they have one at a location in a bad part of town but near where I used to live a long time ago, so I don't feel too bad about going...

     

    I had got a $70 gift card to MTC so I say YAY they were $65 preordered at gamestop I'll be able to get mine and only have to pay the tax in cash ( 8.25% here in Texas)

     

    I get there and they say that'll be $183 please! I proceed to ask my brother how much they were at Gamestop in the Pre-order and he says it was always $165+tax, so I buy it hahahaha

     

    I have enjoyed it since Christmas Eve and a week ago I bother to call Gamestop who tells me they always sold there for $65

     

    That is a $100 mark up I paid with miscommunication

     

    I then call MTC and ask if I was taken advantage of, they tell me it was "Christmas Eve and that everyone was sold out and that they were originally going to mark it up to $200 but "people complained;" ppfffffft---- they got me good
