GA With Less Than Ten Copies in the CGC Census
Badger replied to circumstances's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Nice book! Detached centerfold does not bring the grade down to 2.0 all by itself. It can be a 5.0 with a detached centerfold. -
This my best signed book ( i only have 2, lol!) Still, I've received some incredible offers on it and I've turned them down. One offer was high enough that it made me go but my wife said absolutely no way! Surprised me but she was there when I got it signed and she really liked Stan Lee during our interaction. Somewhere I have a picture of us and Stan Lee where he has his arm around my wife's waist and I'm the third-wheel!

Man, those are some awesome bound volumes!

The Berkbridge Foundation - Questions Regarding Legitimacy
Badger replied to Cat's topic in Comics General
I see that Berkbridge is still up on eBay. Are they a legit charity? They have a tagline that purchases in their ebay store are tax free. That gives them an advantage over other sellers. I think I will form a charity fighting collectibles addiction in fat, white,Super Helpful IT workers. -
Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar...
Badger replied to Timely's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
That's one of those books that if you want a copy you take it as you find it and can afford it! Nice score! Here's mine. -
I've posted my Barks paintings in other threads but I've never posted my wood carvings by Joe Ortega. Joe is a folk artist whose family is known for their wood carvings. The triceratops looking critter is actually a Zuniceratops Joe made for us on request. The Zuiceratops has only been found in New Mexico so far. The 7 foot tall giraffe needs no explanation.

Badger replied to batman_fan's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yeah, but I've been in Information Technology for 25 years and I have never seen a commerce site go offline for over a week just to upgrade the interface. Remember GPA? Their new site may have needed a little more work but they transitioned quickly from old to new. Don't know why you would keep a site down, losing thousands everyday, unless it was compromised and the replacement was not quite ready to roll. Maybe Vincent could have given everybody at CC and Metro 2 weeks off for the holidays. Pure speculation of course but -
Tough question here are my 2. The All Select #1 is the best book in my collection by far. It would be one of the last books I would sell but I would sell it. My Donald Duck #27 is unique in high grade, only 9.4, nothing higher, and next highest are (3) 8.5s, and it is one of my wife's favorites so its staying till I die.

The rarity of many Duck books in high grade always floors me. Books printed in the hundred of thousands and yet true NM and higher are just not seen. I admit that Barks collectors tend to hoard so this may change in the next 20 years as people pass away but right now, this is the lone 9.4 on the census with the next highest being (3) 8.5s!

ComicLink passwords compromised? Edit: apparently not!
Badger replied to DavidTheDavid's topic in Comics General
This does not, necessarily, mean that Comiclink is compromised. It means that the username password combination you use on Comiclink shows up in one of any number of databases out in world which contain compromised account information. You should change your password on Comiclink. Never reuse any password because once it is compromised, it is forever compromised. These databases do not go away they are just added to as new accounts are hacked. Do not just add random characters to the end or beginning of a password you know is compromised. Hackers know people do this and they run password hacking programs which will take known username/password combinations and change the leading and/or trailing characters, eg. password1, 1password, password123, password1234, etc. Get a plugin like Lastpass and do not store your passwords in your browser because the "security" protecting them is laughingly easy to break. -
2019 "I WANT THIS TO BE ADDED TO A SET" REQUEST
Badger replied to RegistryAdministrator's topic in CGC Registry (Comics)
Please add Complete Comics #2 to the Alex Schomburg set. Cert #2004403003 for example. Thanks! Added to set. Thank you -
Thanks for this explanation and story, Cat! I appreciate it when the elite collectors share both the back story and the cautionary warning.
