  1. Good 2 see you hear Josh. Now how about adding back of slab scans to ALL your auctions!
  2. "civil lawsuits are public records" https://www.uscourts.gov/court-records IIRC only names of Minors are withheld
  3. Hmm, Now what's the name of that Tom Petty song that describes what's about to occur..
  4. Robert M Overstreet is Deserving of nearly all the blame. Almost certainly he had a pile of 24's at one time to unload.
  5. I truly wonder which is worse: (if) Tampering was not detectable thus CGC did not notice or (if) Tampering is detectable but CGC never bothered to look and re-slabbed over and over and over again... Both are very worrisome. The first is the scariest, the second represents complete and systemic incompetence over a rather long time-span. P.S. I did not watch the youtube video. I'm now in my 3rd numerical year of a self imposed zero tolerance ban on "influencer" youtube video watching. Ban also includes Social Media Platforms. I do not count internet forums.
  6. I have gone all of 2023 thus far without watching even a single youtube-r's video. I plan on continuing my streak throughout 2024.
  7. I never noticed that. Nice Thanks for pointing it out!
  8. We did go through that in detail 10-15 pages back. Recap: Tricky D1cky Nixon and his cronies did away with that in 1971.
  9. For years I've used PlastX (a headlight cleaner) it works nicely on light to medium scuff and light scratches. However it requires a whole lot of elbow grease, once I even badly heat friction burned my thumb. Perhaps I'll test out this Polywatch?
  10. Will be very funny if she does appear and it's as "herself".
  11. Marvel was only 17 pages as well during the 40 Cent era But they had Perez, Byrne, Cockrum, Miller, Golden, Romita Jr., Layton, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Austin in their stable during that same time.
  12. The first 30 would have to be newsstands, although possible a small few of those could be Whitman Distributed editions...
  13. It will always exist but in downtrodden Comic Book Market with few Rubes spending freely its suppressed quite a bit. Was easy for many to look smart from April 2020 to April 2022 but now those posers are revealed. Present state of the MCU is also a negative contributor. The current still growing in scope CGC scandal simply will not help the Comic market, the only question is how much will it hurt? For the most part there are many current better and safe investments out there. P.S. regarding any spike on Dazzler 1, it will come back down so anyone purchasing now is foolish.
  14. Blackstone's entire cost of this mess can recouped simply by eliminating the next bonus or 2 of CGC Exec's. Blackstone probably will not do so, but who knows? if they do MCS should be receiving a few resumes soon.
  15. [begin sarcasm] Comic Book Dealer (or Seller) with highly questionable Morals and Ethics, that's not possible [end sarcasm]
  16. Nixon Ends Convertibility of U.S. Dollars to Gold and Announces Wage/Price Controls August 1971 With inflation on the rise and a gold run looming, President Richard Nixon's team enacted a plan that ended dollar convertibility to gold and implemented wage and price controls, which soon brought an end to the Bretton Woods System. https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/gold-convertibility-ends Before my time, but i learned it in Elementary school
