  1. Other than far and few exception/outliers everytime I thought a published pre 1986 Marvel or DC Superhero piece would go down in price I have been wrong. Plausible that will occur one day and I look forward to it, but not sure it will happen. What already has occurred is its become a sector of the hobby for the wealthy or those who got in a long while ago.
  2. Limits are draconian and hurtful given recent CGC recommendation due to multiple scandals. Not to mention the current limit helps enable fraud! Seriously CGC you are using AWS there are a number of AI implementations that can prevent bot traffic.
  3. Mylar inherently filters a bit over 99% of UV's. For Comic Slabs go BCE 914M2
  4. Yet another book that went up in page quality after additional decade or more had elapsed. CGC's page quality denotation is a total farce!
  5. This thread really took a horrific turn over the last page... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the long gone Comicart-L boards there was a quote; "No Comic Book Art Is Worth Your Dignity". While I have zero recollection of who posted that, it has stuck in my head all these years. Thus I will never deal for example with the Bollocks from Boston or Sewage from San Mateo
  6. I'm a huge fan of the USPS - no kidding, however last few weeks I've had similar happen to me 3 times. Makes me think it's being done for rea$on$ even if we don't know them.... I will say that twice I managed to contact the distant locations (there were both small post offices) while my parcels were on their premises and both times they added overnight labels and I had next day. Still I'm becoming very concerned as for me FEDEX and UPS are even more horrid thus no viable fall back carrier for my location.
  7. Per THR, Madame Web has kicked off with one of the worst ever opening weekends for a new film based on Marvel Comics characters. Ahead of the release, it was looking clear that the film was in trouble, as advance ticket sales were not very strong. Reportedly, an insider for an unnamed major theatrical chain spoke about how many of the advance ticket sales could actually be seen dwindling in real time as film goers were requesting refunds as late as Wednesday, the midweek opening day for Madame Web.
  8. Appears the budget was actually over 100MM https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/madame-web-bomb-killed-sony-franchise-1235829471/ Sony has to be laundering money there really is no other logical explanation.
  9. Its tantamount to Certified Collectibles Group flipping the double-bird to all who purchase their wares. AKA, CGC stating "we're rubber, your glue"
  10. Mid Jan - Early Feb is Bonus Season in most large Corporations.
  11. those are the Moe Ron's who love to use the cliched "I don't trust reviewers" or similar tripe. The same F00Ls who then are upset they wasted 2 hours and some coin on dreck... Probably easy to write fast when you don't need to worry about things like plot, character development, or coherent dialog.
  12. Heads need to roll at Sony for yet another disaster, a disaster that most any id10t predicted from the day Madame Web was announced. P.S. Those still sitting on piles of Peter Parker 24 clinging to hope a "Hypno Hustler" film will be made..well it wont be! Unless of course Sony converts their business model to a full time money laundering organization!
  13. If Gunn needs to cast a "Power Girl"
  14. Sony and I will each make the same amount of money on Madame Web, which is Zero. Well actually I will be making $0.00, they will be losing at least $40,000,000. Therefore I did significantly better than they did
  15. USSR actually had less rhetoric and far greater truth telling capabililty than the dude from Boston and the San Mateo bros for example.
  16. Agreed, with a caveat and that is CGC is partially and provably to blame. Not sure how well that will play to a Jury...
  17. Probably nothing in place to stop it but it would be wrong to do that. As well as probably not get the correct eyeballs on it.
  18. Was referring to the rubes buying the stuff
  19. It could be become a meme or trope on how to dump a significant other - simply tell them you have 2 tickets to see Madame Web
