  1. Wow, those are unreal. It is so tough to find those in that condition. Almost unicorns. Thought about slabbing them? A lot of my early Archies are missing the cover, and very few are that nice!
  2. How did you do that @ thing?! Are you after a full Archie run, or just after your favourite covers? For a long time, I was pulling Archie of all eras out of the dollar bins at LCS, now other people all of a sudden collect Archie titles and the price is going through the roof!
  3. Man that sucks.....sorry that that happened to you. Especially if it was your grail.
  4. Alright, thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Now I know that there is nothing I can do about it, so I'll just have to accept it. Case closed.
  5. Way to kick a guy when he's down fellas! I've been focusing on my Archie run and neglecting the other titles and now it seems that I am getting priced out of some issues. That never used to happen with Archie titles...no one used to want them!
  6. I can see the turn around time aspect, but as far as the company being in the US being the only justification for spelling, hear this: When Ford and GM sell vehicles in Canada they adjust their spelling on all materials. When Campbells soup sells soup in Canada, they adjust their spelling. When Johnsonville sausage sells sausage in Canada they adjust their spelling. CGC has customers from other countries, would it be unreasonable to cater to them by simply hitting one extra key on the keyboard? It's not like I'm asking them to re-invent the label, it is one additional keystroke. After that, they simply have to hit save and it is there forever. Secondly, to simply say, 'there is no reason to use another country's spelling, because CGC is in the US' is rather closed minded and ethnocentric don't you think? Let me ask you this Phil, what if you sent in a book, it comes back, but on the label they have spelt armour- armir- and every time you pulled that slab out and looked at it BAM. It would bother you, right? If it was a book I intended to sell, I wouldn't even have asked the question, but this would be for a book in my core collection that I am taking to the grave. Don't forget I am the one paying for the service. I realise that I may have ruffled some feathers, which was not my intention, I simply wanted an answer from CGC, so that I can have a perfect collection the way I want - the goal of everyone here- Nothing nasty about it.
  7. Thanks...I mean I still have to pay and all . Believe it or not, that 16 is an upgrade for me.
  8. Cool, had never seen that one before. Nice find...as usual!
  9. SWEET! The target story looks fun, I wonder what his power is?
  10. Wow, what the H is that? Can you post some interior pics?
  11. Good point. I was looking at it as if someone was typing it each time...I'm a dreamer! I agree. I just think that it wouldn't bother me as much if I TRIED to get it written as armour and they said no, because there was no alternative. I will do that. Seems like the best route.
  12. Why would they be unwilling to do it though?
  13. I'm already there pal! How would you like to get a slab that had it s colir ..same thing.
