CCS has been in progress for several months on my Hulk 180 and 182. Been 9 months already. Guess it has till around 14 months for Economy. Then I have another 10 months for grading. Probably last books I will submit to CGC unless they get the turnaround times WAY down. 2 years for 2 very important books to me is crazy.

I'm pretty sure that after CCS is done pressing your comics, they will get graded by CGC way, way more quickly than 10 months. The grading usually gets expedited after CCS is done, rather than having to wait the full estimated number of days for CGC to grade them. This is based on prior experience. Have others seen this as well?

8.5

Biggest success story was a Hulk 181 in PGX 6.5 holder that would benefit from a press.  Came back a 9.0 from CGC after the press.   

There be gold en dem hills. 

On the other end of the spectrum, I once bought a cheap PGX 9.2 and submitted it to CGC and it came back CGC 7.5

Yep.  For retirees no longer collecting salary and in an income bracket lower than the 28% charged for collectibles gains, it encourages flipping books in 12 months or less.

 

Except for the fact that collectibles aren't taxed at a straight 28%. They are taxed at the LOWER of your ordinary income tax rate, or 28%.

Normally when that happens (which is has 4-5 times this week) I have to log out on the main page (not the chat board) and then log in on the main page then go to the chat board. It's super annoying.

Same for me. Go to the home page, log out and then back in, then back to the chat board. I have to do that once every few days.

Seems solid. Seems attached. Which is why I asked for a back cover photo. Well, then the pop must be on the back cover. Could it be the pressing pushed the staple through the back cover?

The link originally provided led me to a disclaimer that said I needed to belong to a particular tier to be able to access them. Which I am not. The photo looks like a well placed staple to me. I have completely lost interest in this. Send it back with a note saying "I want this changed to a 7.0 green label."

My apologies on the link. I didn't realize that not everybody could view it.

I'm not seeing it from this photo. It looks as thought it got all Hell pressed out of it but it doesn't appear to me about to pop.

I have seen staples where I could see daylight between the spine of the book and the arc of the staple. Not to be confused with the arc of the covenant. But the staple still had a good grip on all the pages.

I didn't realize a comic with a partially detached staple could ever get a 9.0 grade, but apparently it can! Crazy stuff. Seems like the staple could easily pop completely loose from just a mild shake or two.

FYI, the seller told me that he charges $50 shipping to the US for a single raw comic worth around $200.

The plots of MCU movies might be formulaic, cookie cutter, cut and paste

Sounds like the majority of your posts.

I didn't think they bought Marvels? 

What do discerning buyers typically purchase, if not Marvel comics? Baby Huey? War comics? The Rifleman #10?

X-Men #10
