I was thinking the exact same thing. The question is; are they considered Superhero's ?

I prefer slabs that do not damage MY books and that do not look like and oil slicked puddle, but then everyone is different.

due to the banana bend epidemic that have rendered most 2024 Modern 9.8's .2 - .4 lower

Last on eBay assuming legit, which u cant do, was 8k even. Not looking so good for those who spent 15k,16k or more. Especially if they are oblivious to slabgate.

I've a buddy who collects trading cards. He is not a dealer or seller yet he refers to his collection as "PC" As the kids say; he's so Mid and what he says is cringe

If I can offend a comic book seller then thats even better than getting the discount!

There are cultures where paying the advertised price is considered an insult. To not haggle is offensive behavior. With collectibles its part of the fun. So of the best recent memories I have at Cons are haggling with Anthony. Believe you me he doesn't need the money either way, but he like many dealers loves the game. Not that DeeDee boooggggg Boston dealer however best to just walk on by that Vile truthless grump. Bottom line; Anyone who never haggles over a Comic Book IMHO is a rube

Sometimes the Tattooz was never inserted. My opinion; as long as insert itself is intact and no evidence of tampering then the tattoo/sticker itself should have no bearing.

yes it does make sense. based on the pics the saddest part is those are less damaged than most. I'd crack them out before damage occurs. Regardless of what CGC's and one LONE poster to this thread message is, I'd not take chances; IMHO if they are 9.6 or 9.8's without newly introduced color breaking damage I'd crack them out and next year take Robert Plant's advice:

Makes me see red, as in the color of the next label/flip my next Comic Book sub will have.

until they start claiming the before photo's are doctored or obscured. If you do not think they will then clearly you do not understand whom you are truly dealing with. As proven by their statements, they will say and do anything to protect every cent of their bottom line.

The Santa Ana winds can't blow east quickly enough for me. BTW: Their app scans the bar codes on the flips (their vernacular, which is cooler to say than labels) making registry input as easy as can be.

Perhaps they all are

YEP!

TRUTH!
