  1. Steve Buscemi is the best.....especially in Fargo. Dang it! I almost got my Sal buscema and Steve Buscemi mixed up!
  2. I found this for $1. There were more movie/poster comics, but this is the only one that I knew had some following, as I have a slab of it. Let me know if I should go back for the joker/mask, Aquaman/free willy, teen titans/lost boys, Harley Quinn/Elvis, Batman/matrix, superman/billandted, and several others?

  5. Not often enough talked about series to count, but cold? Its Killer, Frost....
  6. Lol I checked on mine, although some of the Notes are stains that I missed or "multiple bends". I'm not sure the bends warrant an 8.5. Still pressing is sometimes just Idk most looked flat to me Not complaining, but analyzing for next time
  7. I'm not knocking that at all Now I understand a bit the submission I got back the other day, some with "little spine stresses" notes, that either got 9.2 or gap 8.0, with the same notes. I dont press usually at all, and chalked it up to just not being thorough. I'd still take those grades over mine, but with my books. Lol
  8. That is a at $40! I have a nicely labeled 9.0 that I think cost me $130, at least it was before ebay charged tax?
  9. Will you send it in for label correction? It's a nice one ☺️
  10. @CGC Mike The pm icon has gone away for me on my computer and Mobile. That can't be right, anyone else too?
  11. Lol it seems that way, they can call it presentation, but if it's not available to the common eye Its faith with me haha
  12. Lol now that I've posted the video, of the infinity sig being done, I believe that is the one that it started out with. Then it got into a contest of how many different colors, then demand sprang and he started charging. What the voice of YouTube will do I'm not defending it, I think it looks cool, but I understand the threads sentiment
  13. He has a stack of pens and manually does it. There are plenty of vids on Facebook, maybe Google CRAIN signs murder sig and see what comes up Hes done it for a while now, so hes pretty quick @Domo Arigato

  15. Supposedly the 9.8 is the top, unless a comic is perfectly centered to perfection and one other criteria like the wrap or something. Basically I'm saying from your comment, all comics should be 9.8, unless there are qualities that are rarified. If I remember it was the wrap centering and I'm not sure what else. Perhaps clean cut, it's hard to wrap the head around, I'm just sure it's not a figment of our imagination 9.6 is NM + 9.8 is "nm/ mint" 9.9 is mint + 10 is gem mint To that effect if it helps lay it out
