MAY1979

I have 2 guesses on who that dealer is...

I've been in hobby since 1999, 1970s Marvel Godzilla pages always commanding high coin. Perhaps prior to 2002 some lesser Marvel pages with Godzilla were hovering around $100 but so too were a fair amount of 70s Marvel panel non-A list titles and non-A list artist pages If your comment was not in regards to 1970s Marvel Godzilla pages but for Dark Horse or other publishers then it makes sense.

Just have the original artist staple an acetate to the cover, then on the standard S1798 crossout Machine Gun and write in your choice of Pizza Oven or 10.0

Same here. Also no more 13oz limit, 70lbs is max. Time for me is about the same receiving items however that might be attributed to my living under 10 miles from one of the USPS' Largest Hubs.

OR Maybe they asked the book if it was married or happy...

Expanded in my next post

CGC having the slab back in the first place would poison the chain. Especially as they have the requisite equipment and ability to do anything they like with the slabs I think the only way the slabs would be admissible in court is if an entity like the FBI had collected the suspect slabs. @ThothAmon , curious on your interpretation. Of course 0 chance this gets to a courtroom, Blackstone will do anything in their fiscal power to avoid being subject to a discovery process.

As my multi-year self-imposed zero tolerance ban on youtube "influencer" videos continues, I did not watch , but based on comments in this thread, it appears the Interview with Matt Nelson was not a case of the above quote?

40K for that??? There was a saying years ago from some collectors about being Crazy but not Stupid appears the latter no longer applies Looks like a cheap fake stat job as well.

Sadly djpinkpanther67 passed April 2023. He is missed!

the pages aren't White.

The preceding post was paid for in its entirety by Blackstone.

I'm sure Blackstone will do whatever is the least expensive. Possibly not even that now as this thread has fizzled and Social Media has moved on.

The missing pieces/chunk on the back look more than production related. The top back left for instance may have had a "hanger" than was torn off at some later point. My feeling is the book is 7.0 due to the missing pieces although from the front it presents in high grade.

4.0 / 4.5 (even with a good C&P) Keep it Raw! Compared to 2 years ago 9.4 and below are in free-fall and the 194 9.8's are being hit by the ongoing scandal.

makes it easier for scammers present and future?

When can we expect a totally redesigned holder from CGC? My guess is a minimum of 1 day after never. Where never = as long as Blackstone is the parent company

Larger the bubble, the larger the burst. Expect ramifications to continue into the next decade. How long it lasts thereafter depends on amount of attrition that ultimately occurs.

I do wonder if Jon won it? One of his 2 Holy Grails IIRC, although that was back in the estimated FMV 25K and below days.

No suprise considering their ilk.

Then he might very well be the first Comic Book Dealer to ever do so.

Low Intelligence Viewer - generally the easiest folks to influence and rile up. Not that common a term my apologies for using it. Next time I'll go back to saying rubes or sheep Of course I'm the person who collects DC Digests and Little Stooges Comics so perhaps I too am a rube..?

The Card bubble was far more insane than Comics. The drops after burst even more precipitous.

You comment is logical. However Logic is not often employed in the modern world especially by the LIV's - which make up a high amount of Social Media followers (aka those influenced) The following is plausible: As word spreads and it will, those LIV's will interpret the situation wrong. Thus ALL Versions of ASM300, ASM194, Hulk 340, SW8 and others including possibly Hulk 181 will become varying degrees of toxic to them for an unknown amount of time. Of course I may be wrong, as the numbers flow into GPA and GoCollect we shall see... who knows this may be good for other books that previously lacked attention like DC's We'll ok probably not DC's...
