ADAMANTIUM

The entire slab market is down due to pandemic highs when people worked from home, imo. As those lows continued but started before any slab woes, but is an interesting take from someone whom didn't follow it. As I can see how that may be the hot take on the street, but is unfortunate and not a big picture. I'm not saying it isn't due to slab gate in some way or percentage, but i certainly havent seen any increase in decline from news about the slabs, or not any more nor unusual than the regular decline from pandemic highs. It is an interesting take by and by, no sense in debating as both views can be seen from a real point of view or reference and or perception. I am glad the oa is doing well. Decline in groo happened in this thread before the slab gate from cgc as well, so just so you know, and if it continued or got worse due to the cgc brand then that is an interesting note and first I've heard of that take so far, especially on the boards! That is definitely possible but idk, it needs a pick me up across the board Leveling off it seems in some areas and certain spec is still alive, so we'll see!

First congrats on the 200 pickups As for cgc value insurance when doing a submission for modern the max is $400 and the next tier up of submission is like from $400 to $1000 which may be a "standard tier submission." I know this issue in 9.8 used to go for coin. Even if you just did a modern submission to get them in? If valued higher cgc would bump up the submission tier and charge you the difference between the modern submission, once it got to grading, and the tier they think it should be under... I see 9.8's still go for about $800, which would be the standard tier, but 9.6's are under $400. That said unless sure fire 9.8's or 9.6's with a mark jewelers, I think a modern tier would be a safe summarization at under $400 value. All in my opinion 😀 😉

Very interesting video, after such a long wait I can see the excitement. I remember your last video years ago, glad you took the time because this one seemed a long time coming. Glad for your purchases as I've often told people this is what my dad born in 1940 remembers, and I got him a modern Shazam to read from 1976 or whatever. I've often seen the 40's editions at stores, but he hasn't got the bug yet 😂 Glad that you afforded shipping finally, and it's understandable about cgc, worse case scenario ship them back to heritage. For now I'm sure you're glad to have them, most looked in sturdy shape for a read if there aren't reprints somewhere, but I'm sure you've thought that through already Anyway thanks for taking the time to do the video!

oh wait? you were selling and not buying snap

I recently got requests for "star, Archie, and TMNT", it through me off a bit I'll admit, ha! 😜 A whole new world! 🌎 With brand new exciting points of view 😀

I say that because the LCS has a competition 2.5 slab for sale, current sale being 15% off. I don't recall the original price but at 8.25% sales tax I just couldn't do it Captain Edit to say it is complete I think or accordingly to it's label. @ThothAmon congratulations 🎊🎉

appreciated the back cover looks a lot better, and yet, if not for the "crease down the front" would have graded higher to where I couldn't have afforded it

upon looking again, the ABC order is a nice touch

An oldie

I remember mentioning that my dad wondered how it would do internationally, I'll just tell him tomorrow that so far better than domestically but pretty good in both

Not sure how visible this screenshot is, but new comic guests, ya edit, that screenshot was too small and the next are really large

ya that is why I noticed it wasn't there but short of calling to no avail, I thought I'd ask here, but thanks
