    You've clearly never been prescribed Paxil. Or tried to get a response out of CGC.

    It is. Superman. The original and the best. Super strength, invulnerability, flight, super speed, freeze breath, x-ray vision, heat vision... All wrapped up in a super nice guy Hulk green. Kryptonite green. Do the maths Batman.

    It's a great cover. Quite unsettling...
  4. Get Marwood & I
    Great thread and pictures bounty! I like the post with the US versions alongside the reprints which, as you say, often present the images better. Do you have the US version of Kripta #10 above? That is one horrific cover!

    Good luck Artboy. I hope it does better than my old data gathering company did. For some reason, The Big Comic Oversight Central Knowlegde Service never quite took off
  10. Get Marwood & I
    Yes. What? Oh. Hulk in wrong thread. Sorry.
  11. Get Marwood & I
    Hulk like angry kid. Angry kid related to Hulk as Hulk angriest there is. And strongest there is. OP may as well end thread now.

    They will be once they've reddit, reddit....

    These are 12 of the reasons why I personally don't slab books Bob. There are others. The only time I would do any of the above would be when when I decide to sell the big guns. Grading is a thing. Eye appeal is a thing. CGC have monetised grading. CVA are trying to monetise eye appeal. The market will decide whether they have gone too far into the barrel of potential money making opportunities.
  14. Get Marwood & I
    No.

    Nicely summarised. I was only devils advocotatalling to be honest. Might as well wake the pigeons up, eh. Bottom line, if the CVA service has no value, it will surely die. Until then, we may see the ocassional book with a horrible sticker on it once in a while.

    Stevie Wonder?

    It's only better looking if CVA say so MGsimba77

    I'd have to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow to get that reference Martin Maybe CGC should buy out CVA and offer both services. I'd like to get my books structurally and visually assessed by CVGCVAGC. Trips rigt off the tongue doesn't it.
  19. Get Marwood & I
    OK Bob, you've convinced me. CVA are rubbish.
  20. Get Marwood & I
    So there we go - the CVA sticker materially affected the outcome. If it warranted it, why would anyone not want one on their own books when they came to sell them?
  21. Get Marwood & I
    I'm not. I'm buying it as a present. Or, I'm a seasoned collector paying more at an auction because it has an added plus point which I know will help me financially when I come to sell Yes. If they are really good at it, some people might come to appreciate it. Also, see first point above.
  22. Get Marwood & I
    That's what I was trying to say! Albeit my Mum has very cultured eyes
  23. Get Marwood & I
    I don't see how that fits with the points I was making Bob. People are saying CVA add no value. I'm saying they do, for the right people, in the same way that CGC do for some people. How nice will your CGC book be when "monkey fingers" drops it and cracks the case? Or when he refuses to buy it because of Newton rings. Or shaken book syndrome. Or a labeling error. Or because the book is being slowly throttled. And who is this Marvood chap? He sounds Asian. Look, CGC books are fine. I've owned about 300 in my time. Sold 200 and they undoubtedly made me more by being slabbed, and broke the other 100 out so I could get acquainted with them. Lots of pros for getting a book graded. I just don't like to see CVA derided for identifying an opportunity that CGC should have locked down already. Besides, a thread where everyone agrees is a little dull, no?
  24. Get Marwood & I
    It isn't.
  25. Get Marwood & I
    Yes. Yes. It is.
