ADAMANTIUM

Awesome 👍 😎

There is a few of us as you go through the thread! 😜 Lol It's good to not be alone, but ya it felt like what? That I had to check the book, which it does come away as a webbing on our backsides for not noticing.

There is a few of us as you go through the thread! 😜 Lol

To be clear, prescreens never made sense to me, and depending on the book in question they still don't, not everything needs to be in a cgc slab. We were all on the same page, I think it was just boring to have to explain IT

Ya I don't think anyone was yay, but mostly nay, sorry for rubbishing up the thread. To hear it mentioned is always in a positive light, which confused me is all. Chalk this up to a lazy Sunday after yardwork was finished 😂

ah never mind, didn't mean to make you exasperated. Do it or don't, all good, but thanks for the clarification, as I hadn't ever had it explained and I couldn't figure it out. No worries

I believe they send them back, but what he might means is the cost to ship separately from the slabs that passed. Transitionally, I've sent in books that it would have been easier to just buy 9.6 slab, rather than try my hand at a raw, for instance my "Web of Spider-man #1" came back 9.0 even though no press and it was only the $23 cost at the time to slab The book was found raw for $1 so I sent it. It is still technically cheaper sometimes to do so when paying for a already slabbed 9.6 cgc that is going to cost me $50 or $60 before tax and shipping I see that is pretty much a no-win scenario for me, except I like the book and it is ok in a registry I guess

ya I edited, only one of my LCS send in a bunch of moderns fresh off the rack with no history of sales ya that is kind of iffy on the face of it, I guess I get why it is an "option" but seems like a lot of work even in housing costs. One LCS by me does it, I guess I should ask them, but weird. Ya that is where I'm at. I send in low value books, but nothing that doesn't have a history in sales, and definitely not something just random fresh off the stands to be 1st to market. I was coming from all those who gave greggy a hard time for not prescreening so from that frame of reference most of his bronze and copper (and depending on acquisition cost even in Canada shipping) it seemed a reject would be too much of a burn from a prescreen. 1st to market stuff would be hard to catch and release so I'm not "on that level"

In other words, it cost you now the $10 reject and the cost to press to keep it raw, say $25 on its own. To avoid a $36 cost to press and slab and come away with a slabbed 9.4? I must not have dealer issues, but I'd take the slab idk for $36, rather than have thrown $25 down the drain. @Kramerica I guess I get it, I send in low value stuff, but that means minor minor minor keys and not just a random new book with no history. so idk

"marvel comics corner box figure art" art print "1980's" "destroy spider-man my puppet" - Search Images (bing.com) No, I had no luck with that either, even with the tagline from Iron Man I thought perhaps it was an ad page but idk

well from the iron fist figure, it looks like the art was in the corner box, which made me look at the others that might look the same way for them? Maybe try googling "corner box art print 1970's?"

that never made sense to me A modern only on average costs $25 to $27 to grade, an $8 reject is more like $10 when you factor in shipping there and back, and are you telling me a 9.4 slab can't be sold for $15 to $17 "or more" to just sell a slab instead of the $10 raw reject? with the $10 cost of a reject and $27 cost of a slab? C'mon something doesn't add up

I was at 9.6 with my gut, I'll stick with it on the heir to the Empire, Lord knows

Thanks again and always @CGC Mike for giving us some quality time on things. I never feel the pressure on it anymore, because it's all in good fun! Thanks for forgiving our blunders with heart ❤️

I must have thought it was part of the web I'm "sticking" to that story, pun intended!

BEAUTIFUL

what crease?

I've often thought it weird that I don't own any "mystique covers" Unless you count Ms Marvel #17 or Avengers annual #10. Such a major character that even had her own series, and yet

I hesitate to respond, definitely no never mind either way, but NM #98 and IH 180/181 might have done their spiking to come back down to earth? The only "books" that I heard people spiking with due to the Deadpool/Wolverine flick was Wolverine #'s 154/155, but IDK how "true" that is either?

What I recall? As I didn't put notes in my scrapbook .... I want to say it was a pivotal moment when Rogue was contemplating cyclops and jeans marriage. I was new to that kind of storytelling, but couldn't name a specific issue

Perfect for scrapbooking though

Ya from 1987 to 1990 X-men, I guess that time period I thought was short hair No worries edit to say third choice would be art adams but I knew that couldn't be it
