Aren't comics meant to be hidden?

The recipient of the art is a Comic Shop Owner, not to say they don't exist but I've never met even a remotely honest one. That includes a friend of mine.

Nothing special or unique or interesting in owning a book with such a huge population in that grade. After all we have someone in this thread that when all is said and done will have 80+ copies...

and Mortimer must of had friends high-up at Marvel as artists on the title received double page rate. 1 check from Marvel 1 from CTW.

Soon to be known among speculators as the "Dazzler #1 Flub!"

Oh well.... It's only DC and it's 2024 so any boost would be tiny and fade fast

Reminds me of the line in Willie, Mickey and The Duke; "and Bobby Bonds can play for anyone"

The first card they graded, the so called McNeil/Gretzky T206 Wagner later on in open court evidence was submiited and convicted felon Bill Maestro admitted to trimming. This was decade ago yet PSA still has no alteration note and the now tainted grade of 8 remains on their public DB. As is often noted on net54 regarding the Newport CA based firm. "The fish stinks from the head down" But yes additional competition is good for customers and often spurs innovation.

PSA as cards go since 2021 ruthlessly maintains their census medians. Reserving highest grades per era for their largest submitting clients. Of course that can't be done until they have a baseline. This means those who use need to get their subs in early and that greggy if he uses them, will eventually make out like a bandit ...

Bronze DC 9.8 and 9.6 Non key of keys, not Adams Batman are in freefall, below 2019 FMV in most cases. I've picked up half a boatload of it from Clink and MCS auctions the past several months!

So size does matter...

example books?

IMHO weird light refraction on both side of holder in same spot makes me think the case but still plausible it's the pic

In the trading card circles, most of which is high-end stuff, I'm involved with, CGC is now perceived as a low end junk grading/slabbing service. Before the "Omega" deal was underway the perception differed as their was cautious optimism that CGC could present some challenge to Newport CA based PSA. Customers of course benefit from True competition not to mention it encourages innovation. Coupled with the label change and more than 1 "10" grade it's now pretty much universal collector/seller negative perception With Collectibles; Negative Perception is easy to obtain, and very very very difficult to remove. Positive takes a long time until trust is built gradually. CGC threw any chance of positive perception away with the Omega deal. I'm sure some of the Exec's got a nice bonus for the short-term cash grab but now CGC at best is relegated to 3rd string grading company status, and thats only because PSA's parent purchased SGC this year, otherwise they would have been 4th. BTW: Count me in as one who genuinely wanted CGC to succeed in court of collector/seller perception with Card Grading. I had zero desire to continue w/the folks in Newport CA but now as before I've no choice.

IME CCS pressing is light handed. Whether that is negative or positive overall is relative to the observer.

A confused from @greggy makes the whole re-holdering submitting due to inner well warping worth it!

Tried again at 18:20ET all worked good!

I can see why you would want them kept intact. From a non-fiscal standpoint that seems the only correct responsible and respectful choice even if it will take longer to to sell. If you take that route kudos

@JuliaJ CS same issue for me. Tried with Windows 11, Windows 7 and Elementary (Ubabtu derivative) Linux. Tested with Chrome, FireFox and Opera Browsers on all 3 platforms. Appears (?) a similar issue in March 2022 that lasted about a day. IMHO these type issue are nearly always on the back-end DB or dependency. I've been a Web Engineer since 2001 :)....

What about a Timm Phantom Stranger sketch on a brown paper bag?

@Frisco Larson My man u need to get a scanner, so we don't miss out on more Spidey

IMHO it's overpriced and will drop a bit. The TV show however might boost 1st Kyle Raynor but I caution anyone from speculating on Copper or Modern DC Superheroes. Except for a select few outliers it's always a $$$ losing endeavor!
