    Submitted Laff -A-Lympics 7 and got a nice 9.6 (W). and also, a Scooby-Doo 3, 9.0.(W) That particular issue remains elusive in good shape. I have upgraded a few others over the past year and now I am now missing only 2 issues and an additional 6 needing to be upgraded to 9.4 or better

    Which 2 have eluded you?

  2. ^

    I do like the gold label. But taking a chance on re-holdering since Blackrock took over is way too risky for my nerves. Perhaps one day after Blackrocks sells CGC off, only a matter of when not if, and they re-institute actual quality control and value the quality of a workers effort not simply quantity.

     

  3. Supe's is being dropped from high above the Earth's surface and the innovative angle used points mostly up to the skies. No need for a background as there should not be one, other than Sky, Sun, and sliver of Earth.  For me 234 ranks right up there with 252 as my favorite Adams Superman cover. Glad when I had shot at the raw Oakland copy I grabbed it, and just as glad I had it slabbed during the 1st gen CGC slab era.

     

  4. If it works same as all other Marvel MCU TV appearances there will be a dip or more 30-90 days after the last episode is made available.  Right now those purchasing have more $'s than ¢'s.

    Keep in mind Isaac was under contract only for the 6 episodes and nothing else has been announced on that front. One can speculate all they want about what will or will not occur but by no means is anything set in stone.  

    IMHO sell 9.2's and lower NOW then buy back at lower prices later this year. 

     

    P.S. Since i don't sell comics take my advice with grain of salt.
     

     

  5. On nearly all graded books I'm one copy then it's been there done that.  With some exceptions:

    There are few books with special meaning to me I have sought out multiple graded copies, usually one direct sale (if applicable), one newsstand and one creator or artist autographed. 

    Also since I almost never sell a Comic Book I do have multiples of a bunch books I've later acquired in higher grade.
