  1. IMHO you got an accurate grade. Banking on a re-submittal getting higher grade in error is not wise, in fact getting a lower grade is far more likely. Damage might occur due to handling not to mention the elimination of q/c by the parent corporation
  2. Ive used sniping services since 2004. My guess is most serious bidders do. Still if you are hoping to get the North America rube novice contingent then yes Sun night 21:00-23:00ET works best
  3. I did win a clink comic book auction recently with my $35 tracking bid.
  4. Buy the book not simply the number on the slab label. In cards they say "buy the card, not the flip" I like that expression better.
  5. IMHO if it happened on more than one slab, even if it was 5 months since they were returned; - post to https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/27-comic-book-grading-and-restoration-issues/ - tag "cgc mike" by inserting with the @ in your post. Please note there is space between cgc and mike it's become apparently that CGC's parent company has little desire in providing excellent customer service. Sadly when you have no truly viable competition that is often the case, almost the same situation with PSA in the card world. Of course if this was CGC Card slab they not only have fixed things but likley given you some credit to use on your next submission. Strong competition usually improves customer service.
  6. Redux's usually are very minimal compared to the original. A new run will have greatly diminished affects across the board. Many other Collecting Hobby's are going through same thing. Bigger the bubble the more widespread the burst!
  7. With Original Comic Art on CAF you will almost certainly see Wonder Woman near or at the top of the most searched list for last 24hours, 7 days and 30 days. Routinely Supergirl appears on the lists as well. As DC heroes go, I do not recall seeing Superman, Flash, Green Lantern even once. Batman of course does appear from time to time. https://www.comicartfans.com/popular-searches.asp
  8. Regardless of the quality of the film or it's potential success or failure the lead role is someone majority of comic collectors on the CGC forums dislike or abhor. Then there is the time proven rule; except for Batman and outliers never, ever speculate on DC. As usual see my signature regarding era's to which my posts do not apply. ^ I'd ask if you are happy now, but we all know thats a no
  9. Start a poll thread here in General if you like, and we'll see what the perception is...
  10. I'll take an old school modern label 9.8ow/w over pretty much any newly graded 9.8w!
  11. Still only in a circle shape. Only done on the Spideys i believe. Fun cover
  12. peeps in 2023 b needin' them meaningless validations to mask the fact that their lives simply aint special
  13. Zero buyers fee (for non credit cards and 3% on Credit Card) should encourage higher bidding over 19.5% Buyers fee at Heritage but in many cases does not. I think reasons for that include but are not limited to: 1) Less promotion from Comic Link. 2) Slow and Painfully difficult to navigate CLink website with no way for average potential buyer to keep a cart of potential item to bid on. 3) Shilling shenanigans at Heritage (Alleged) 4) Heritage Buyers premium counted in final sale by most aggregators. However 19.5% of those final sales numbers do not go to the seller/consignee. My opinion is if CLink's Website was brought into this century they would see many more bids and far more impulse bids from easier browsing. As for me I prefer to purchase from CLink for many factors but there seemingly circa 1999 website is not one of them

  15. IRON DUCK! Probably my favorite HTD cover
  16. LMFAO. Wonder if that inspired the Python's "Biggus Dickus" ?
  17. The 50-year-old Virgin With all the talk about Comic Sniffing on this forum lately, I'm sure that is rather common 'round these parts.
  18. Not sure if their circa 1998 single threaded website code can handle it. At minimum a complete refactoring is in order at c-link!
