  1. I wouldn't think it would bother me. For established value $$ score books, if I'm understanding correctly, it would still pick up when adjust3d once a year? I think your attributed score suggestion would only factor badly if it was never monitored. I'd like to hear more than once a year, but I know there is a lot to consider!
  2. I was thinking for a lot, I mean a lot of books, even in 9.0 that some values are slow to pick up, especially with moderns. I'd like to see lower grades on non moderns pick up the slack a little easier, but with the census and different grades mostly achieved under the 9's I'm not sure. I know I got Malibu Sun added to the registry, and I believe placed 1st the 1st year; although, I believe my lowly 8.0 was beaten when it caught on. I had issue #13, and even though I placed 1st one year and had the tag next to my name? This year I placed it in a trade for walking dead 1. 8.0 #13 sells for $450/500, but was worth 8 points in the registry. I tried to have points adjusted several times to no avail to justify keep8ng it I want another copy, so I may be shooting myself in the foot, but 8 points is cray cray
  3. I wanted to apologize if I continued to take it in a certain direction, I was more andom and was just making opinions that day. I quoted you, but don't feel it was directed toward you negatively at all, it's only discussion . I'm welcome to see changes, because as a collective, I hope it's for the better
  4. My McFarlane book was received in the "mail" by CGC on Oct 10th under delivery tracking, still has not been received under submission tracking by CGC as of today Oct 25th. So just an fyi I called, and they said that "it could" run up to Nov 11th or a little after, and that also CGC might have Todd take more than one day in Dec to sign. Meaning it is so much that the signing could last into 2023, so idk, but be prepared Unless I've been given a line
  5. Ok nevermind. Cgc said it's the way it's going with the New York comic con boxes still being opened. They definitely got a huge amount of submissions there. My McFarlane book was received by CGC on Oct 10th with TM written all over the sides, it too is to be opened right away I assume, it shows under delivery tracking but is not on the submissions page they told me it could still be weeks, as the deadline is Nov 11th and could be "up to" a little after that
  6. It might be nice, if I'm understanding correctly, to know if your set is under consideration, then if you don't win beef it up for next year. I'm sure I'm a long ways off on most of "my" stuff, but it would be descriptive and a better example of what is "looked for", if there were some kind of hint or tag idk. Not a bad spit ball
  7. loll I ran into that today while it IS $500, it is really $500 in cgc credit I think
  8. I'll probably put this in the boards holiday raffle, along with a few raw magazines!
  9. It's nice to see them all together! Congrats 🎉
  10. If I had money that's the one I'd choose too. I know nothing about spawn or samurai spawn, and if there is one. They do look nice! @mediaslave
  11. Just make the thread title wtt instead of wtb
  12. You can use the "want to buy section for trades . @Every Day A Story
  13. It makes sense enough, no guts no glory kind of deal. Those sellers, with the true nature of probability, are more misleading, imo, than strengthening relationships. I'd skip those all together, it's not like you're getting a refund plus the cost of grading if they come back 9.8
  14. I've thought that too. Imo, I gave the benefit of the doubt in a the way of so many copies to compare too, but the same principle These look better than the other 100, so a 9.9!
  15. interesting! I recently bookmarked that vendor, so that is good to know! thanks
  16. What is the extra sticker? if you don't mind me asking, I assume it is another level of authentication by a 3rd party other than CGC? will you leave it on there? or purpose?
  17. I kept looking for a reason that books like "Last Ronin #1" kept up with more 9.9 + I know it has something to do with the "cover stock", and maybe the edges just present better? I can't say for certain that they just "kept their dimensions" better "after being cut?" idk It may be crisper or clearer, and I know dimensions matter. I still got 9.8 on all 3 copies that I submitted I can't catch a break or I've yet to hit above 9.8 on anything!
  18. I'm working on comic con tickets at the moment, for next year but go on sale tomorrow. I've still got some other things that are wait and see so thanks!
  19. There is interactive stuff too: grading contest, Holiday presents, raffle, and updates from finds plus "Comics! Comics! Comics!"
