ADAMANTIUM

And by and by @CGC Mikemight be able to help out with the board handle if you're to stick around.

I think based on past threads that an incomplete book gets an automatic 0.5. It would make sense it would be in diminishing returns of that grade and amount. By how much idk, it would be difficult and dependent on how incomplete, what book, and that's about as far as I know

I was wondering since they're 'closed" if books were off site and or signings happen elsewhere, but thanks for the heads up, I'll go check it out!

Violator really is kind of creepy. For a kid the spawn movie still did a good job of pointing THAT out 😂

Awesome 👍😎 or in this case maybe good to know. Unfortunate but thanks for reminding me

Wow good for you and under the wire! A friends was similar but didn't "ship" enough to see grades, when they reopen I pray they've been kept save with everything in personal lives still in order 🙏. Glad to see though you got some ease with it though

Lol mixed emotions here, didn't have all the facts, but I was excited and wondering how it will turn out!

I was hyped for your registry, until the 6.5, but idk if that would detour your or not. Or wasn't it you that was thinking 1-10 ss? Or were you meaning that it is a qualified 6.5? And signed by an artist who is no longer able? But at least with a C.O.A.?

There was one today for me that was fashion, tech and refurbished, so idk, but I DO appreciate the heads up!

Safe travels and may all yous and yours be protected!

Such a classic as a kid, not sure why, was just fun

I don't have much, but enjoy what I've got and what little I've read.

Ya that's why I mentioned at first a brave new world, he could personalize it anyway wanted to his satisfaction, not limited to a stack in the corner where spills can be a factor and etc. I know the tape pull thread mentioned stuff, but I think most of which has been mentioned again here already.

I actually like doing this to blow up the art on the page - it's pretty cool to see a panel at 2X it's normal size to see everything the artist put into the art. I've attempted to read online, once it automated, and once it jumped in the "reading order of word bubbles" when I tapped it. All giving an action type sequence. Is this a normal app thing? Or is it selective between books? I couldn't always get it to work is what I mean

Similarly the 90s were no holdout!

An interesting read that may give you some other ideas 😜 it's the latest one anyway...

I know a store that uses those for magazines, and surprisingly over the years the books inside have held up. I'm just not sure how often they're flipped through.

I tend to agree, although ,#1 was hot and for a hot minute. Thinking even a 2nd print #4 would command a premium isn't an understatement. Or at least in the past, speculating past that I'm not aware of others seeking the set, as opposed to only slabbing #4 and the ball of wax. I waited to post because I'm not sure it'll make a difference, but my gut says the set is a long term thing and not an immediate need.

Imo They probably are wrapping up con season, or soon enough. I say that because of the slew of fall and winter signature series opportunities they announced in the last two weeks. Idk how much the latter will be affecting now, but be sure it will be an effect later! I think i got that right affect/effect. It'll still, Lord willing, remain semi speedy, or i dont anticipate a years long tat that we've experienced in the past. I dont think so or it would have started by now, but just an fyi, i think most tiers are moving. With qc we all are still biting finger nails and praying, and yet, its a different fret, to ignore the annoyance of, than the past focus. Another day another refresh!

I thought about this too, I did, in some cases (no pun) things can be so rare that you hate to have damage to ANY of them, as he didn't specify I figured he was going to the grave with them or wasn't interested in passing along his collection, legacy and etc. But your right it's worth stating that anything 1 of 1 or even 1 of 10, and thereabouts and so on need to be helped. I wouldn't call it selfish nor even being decent, but I don't think anyone in the hobby world would just have a dust to dust mentality. Upbeat is where it can be comfortable but think of posterity, remove the tape, and get some sexy black sleeves so it's not such a chore to slip'em on and off!

@Comics4All I hope you're doing well also!

Like I said i agree with removal of tape, as it is a time consumer? Although there have been enough threads with tape pulls mentioned, even when shipping to CGC people remove or fold tape for when in CGC hands and etc. Easier is definitely a convenience, but I can't speak, though tempting, to the wiseness of it.

😂 much better ideas than what I was thinking, which was cut up all the comics and glue them to the ceiling and walls! Any room you want mind you bathroom bedroom but not the kitchen of course. I'm only half way serious but if you wanted to go down that road? I'm not necessarily being facetious, they're your books and you own them. I remember some people making coffee laminated tables to keep from spilling food and etc. It's a brand new world!
