MAY1979

IME many Comic and Trading collectors are that gullible. If it was offered as a BIN way below FMV then add dealers into that mix from an angle of greed.

The primary incentive for not using the folks in Newport Beach, whose slabs have significantly higher resale value, was CGC's fast turn-around. With now glacial turn-around and line cutting might as well crank up Zepp's "Goin' to California"

Huge thanks!!! While I'm probably the only one who ever views the set type, I'll now be able to do so without scratching my head 😀

^ we do overlap at 150

Loved his inking on Sal B's Cap pencils... Good family man and great father mentioned by his daughter on FB. May he RIP.

IMHO $90-$150 at auction. Late 80s-early 90s DC "filler" pages by non-name brand artists were never high but now they are in free-fall...

Hi jstam, Hoping you will consider my request "DC 100 Page Digests" https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/SetTypeDetail.aspx?SetTypeID=2846 Set Contains Tarzan Digest 1 Reasons Tarzan Digest 1 does not belong: 1) Tarzan Digest 1 is 164 pages not 100 - https://www.comics.org/issue/25770/ 2) Tarzan Digest 1 is from 1972, all other 144 digest comics in the set type are from the 1979-1986 DC Digest era. All of which except for the special double-sized issues are 100 pages. I am interested in seeing this corrected from a purely the book does not qualify for the set type standpoint. I am not attempting any kind of "sneaky maneuver" to move up in the registry. I say that as I am fortunate+proud to have the #1 set by an extremely large margin and given the census pops an insurmountable lead (apologies for my lack of modesty). In addition no Owner in the set type has a copy of Tarzan Digest 1 Many Thanks for all your time and efforts !!!

Nice looking Dr Solar's 9.2 or 9.4 on both

Curious, GA Batman or 2011?

Makes sense as most who are not at least approaching 50 primarily care only about 1st this or 1st that, and not interested in bronze or copper run issues

or right now is still shallow with the Mariana Trench getting closer?

That was Vinny circa 1998. His standards IMHO are significantly more lenient since then on books for sale, to the point its Mile High territory.

IMHO it's like School on the 4th of July or Christmas

Oakland - I've had over 20 of mine graded. 6 scored higher than Vinny's Label, 8 graded lower and 8 were precise. Overall that's pretty good however part of the credit i feel goes to me for picking out what I felt were the strongest condition books. Here's one that I always felt was nicer than grade Vinny's label , CGC agreed with me.

I've a bunch of Northland I had graded from 2001-2003 that I never had noted as a pedigree ;( I've probably submitted around 20 Northland's overall very few received a grade that was equal to the cert and none that received higher. Here is one that was equal.

If you value money, I'd be more patient going forward. Bronze Age and later Comics on the whole are free-falling overall in FMV. Buying stuff when it's hot is never prudent. IMHO #1 will be sub $350 sometime between Oct 2024 and Feb 2025. Its a High 9.8 population book and demand by then will drop significantly. If money is no object then simply offer Jordy $150K for his #1 ranked collection

Thanks Mike, I will submit them at a Con later this year.

I love Sugar and Spike. Classic Cover IMHO Another Canadian Price Variant CGC labelled wrong... @CGC Mike I have a few CPV Digests that wrongly show "Newsstand" Not "Canadian Price Variant" in the DB, as well as are labelled incorrectly. Does CGC still back it's product and reputation by their fixing errors or am I (all of us) out of luck?

Tanks fer sharin'

I'd rather Walt keep it locked away himself rather, than some Rich Boy or Crypto Bro keeping locked away for themselves.

Careful with that - remember Nicholas Cage!

Starting to get the feeling that more folks will go back to cable or satellite - not sure data backs that up yet but have a suspicion it will in 1-2 years....

My opinion OW/W totally 100% fine for 9.8 but 9.9 or 10 must have White. I'd bet heavily that if both those ROM's were cracked and re-subbed they would now get White pages, I've seen it many many times with older slabs. However the books would also come back graded 9.8, given their current grade appears to be a true gift!

Maybe this can be explained????
