  1. I'm waiting on books too I was trying to spare someone a year wait when it didn't seem like they understood 😕 Still I have them from Oct 2021 and March 2022, so I still have a year wait to go
  2. Hurricane and all, I'm tempted to give a pass this weekend but #releasetheeconomytier. That was #3monthsestimatedwhenisentthem #ificanwishihaddonefasttrack. I #seenothingwrongwantingtoorknowingthegacts.
  3. And is why I said if he wanted to support the company. How more objective could I have been!
  4. Well ya cause he also stated If it's under 5 months, which it is, which would mean he thinks it's "worth it, which is why I quoted what he said, which is why I was confused but what he posted and why I asked him if he understood But yes context subjective, cause some of us have no choice but to send in eventually, and it sounded like he was to send in regardless
  5. Good to know I’ll save my money ,thanks! Did you read that correctly? Fast track econ is like 20 days Slow is a year. I thought you were asking if it is "worth" the fast track, which it is, if you're supporting the business that currently has a year TAT without fast track
  6. Is anyone actually considering reholder? I "am" but not sure what the label will look like or if there are other definitions than what cgc laid out in the link. "Newsstand edition because it also has a 'direct' version, and or, not Newsstand only", it just doesn't clarify well enough. Books I'd consider batman #608,609,612. Asm v2 #30, #430. Spider-man noir #1. Brave and the bold killing joke prelude. Thor 337, 338, 339. Hulk 234. But why? Some of those are really common. And that is a lot of reholders. Are they going to offer a reholder discount at first? Like they did with crossover books? So much is wait and see, and a lot of it makes me happy I either own them already or that the bottom just fell out due to over saturation of what was only perceived preference.
  7. when X-force #116 has different wording on the cover, so no a "newsstand edition" doesn't mean just the barcode while it does have that too. A "newsstand edition" book needs more clarity on the label? Maybe I'm alone in that or where not to that point yet, haha
  8. this is where I started the thread that at, it oversaturates the Newsstand Label "market", it just doesn't mean the same thing. Instead people "may" have to ask, "why is it a newsstand edition?" given price differences are notated on the label, but when you look at a book like X-force #116, it just says newsstand edition so idk, seems like a long way to go for clarity, I guess that is the future?
  9. Serious question. Are there newsstand editions that are indistinguishable from direct editions? If not, what value does the notation on the CGC label add if it is stating the obvious? Are there collectors who will pay more for a slabbed "newsstand" copy because it has the label notation? Expand I don't understand the argument in the first place. Why would CGC ever put "Variant Edition" on a label if it "is readily apparent from looking at the cover"? There's more reason to indicate that a book like Ultimate Fallout #4 is newsstand on the CGC label than any reason to say that Ultimate Fallout #4 Variant is a variant. Of course it's a variant, the cover isn't the same! Why would CGC waste time labeling it as a variant? Again, I don't understand the original @Axelrod objection. or that Canadian price and 30 cent price are also "obvious", yet get a "notation" too
  10. I hope that it gets easier to speak about, we all have different research and experiences, yet to be civil was my goal.
  11. It's appreciated! The "ticks" may be a bit numerous or even the crunch corner, the reason I thought maybe 7.5, too? Is because they're all small in width? Maybe a couple of millimeters? Lol. I hope!
  12. In 1914 she received a patent on a trefoil emblem, which she would transfer to am organization years later?
  13. Ya, now it's jeopardy and snooze, so I lose! Spelling! Punctuation! Sentence!
  14. And I'm tired, some people are just waking up, hurricane, walking dead, train of thought..... Like counting sheep
  15. To that point, I hope the hurricane doesn't unearth the beyond, although I do need to brainstorm for a walking dead spinoff
