MAY1979

Will it cross-over to 1968 Wonder Woman so I can go business class to a Hawaiian Vacation? Or am I totally screwed due it being the non-costume era? 1/2 in 9.8

Don't discount Doug!

Noting on the label might impede some dishonest sellers from advertising pre-June 1979 and pre-Oct 1980 DC's as newsstands. Something I've seen a lot of the past few years, including on this forum, as they lie with their hawks of "it's a newsstand baby" or some similar tripe. @greggy man, hoping you'll back me up on this.

Constant inbound Cash flow is never bad. If you also suggesting sellers wait for next bubble? Hope they are young enough to make it. There wont be a V recovery for comics nor trading cards markets across the board. Could be 1-3 decades before seemingly every book or card is warm or hot at same time - aka a bubble. Films ain't coming to the rescue either, expect smaller bumps with shortened hot durations and reduced levels of inbound greenhorns with more dollars than sense. For those who selling is just a side gig or a hobby and don't need funds ok fine, but still ain't solid business skill. Nor to them does it need to be. Those with true business acumen adapt and do well in almost any market, i guess we'll see how many of them are real Comic dealers. Re: Price drops; if to pre pandemic prices on many books, but certainly not all, is not a falling knife, more like restoration of order IMHO P.S. I could be totally wrong about cash flow of course, however I've got the basic rules of operating cash flow on my side . I believe rule 1 is never run out of cash

Yep...gets ready for a looooong decade. Bigger the bubble the more widespread the burst. Now we get to see who actually possess true business accumen and who dont. Hint cash flow is king!

Forest Gump would say "deebahgg is as deebahgg does"

Yes, in the post right above yours

I just looked all 6 of mine, 2 are backwards. Interesting those were the 2 I purchased from my LCS release day (I have a sticker with my notes on the outer mylar), the other 4 were purchased for .50 each 2 year later. can I retire to my own private island now? P.S. Dirt may very well be less common than this book!

Marvel should name the collection; "ROMnibus"

The argument might be made that in his early to mid 60's Andru hit his artistic peak. IMHO his ASM then later his Superman work and many DC covers were noticeably more polished than his earlier art

Consider me humbled having received a non confused like from @greggy. So this is what its like to live the high life

Doing so will create false perceived scarcity as all the many newsstands graded from 1999-2022 will not be listed separate in the census. Unless that 23 years of data is present then it is tantamount to encouraging a lie. Same as it is now with multi-pack stuff. Unscrupulous sellers,dealers, auction houses and flippers will make a killing selling books to the uniformed advertising them as "newsstand 1/1". Therefore I'm sure CGC will do it

Dealers lie, especially ones from Boston and San Mateo

you are correct. However they only list the color aspect not IMHO more meaningful things for an encased paper comic book like PH numbers BTW the page quality review is merely a quick look at the color. CGC is not conducting any truly valuable analysis such measuring acid levels - which of course involves taking a sample which would be bad. Thus I conclude it really should be called paper color and pretty much if newsprint was used then it truly cant be White anyhow. 100% agree with below.

I also recommend Back Issue #16 to ROM fans. Not sure if physical copy can still be purchased at tomorrows website but the pdf can.

To celebrate that announcement, the highly elusive 9.8 #25 newsstand, but will probably be cheap if you do find one.

Regarding WP and OW/WP this is something that should be a pretty exact measurement. Yet many submitter's receive WP on books they have measured as being OW/W and OW/W on books that were White. Optical tech is more than advanced enough to do this determination without having to have to rely on a human's opinion. I do not understand is why many collectors who "Buy the book, Not the Flip (Label)" incongruously take the CGC page quality designation as Gospel.

Or Oakland. From my own raw submitting and general interest over the years my estimate is only 1 maybe 1.5 out of 4 has WP's. Although I know of many an occasion where re-submitting a book for signature can earn a page quality bump up.

I have pedigrees but would never pay extra for one. Although I guess if I have the dough for a decent Edgar Church I might think different

Never had an issue with WW in 15 years of dealing. I will say the last few years their time to ship has increased. Still they are one of my very few go to dealers.

Plustek OpticPro A320E . Have mine almost 2 years, does a great job on Original Art + slabbed comics and cards. It's CCD tech which in my opinion is superior to CIS for Art and of course for slabs (CIS wont work right on them).

IMHO - tight but not taught. Books should be easy to remove.

Is there risk of getting a lower grade when subbing an all ready graded book for pressing/regrading IMHO the odds of a comic being damaged and receiving a lower grade is greater than scoring a higher number.

Won't matter. Blackstone now believes they are simply entitled to your money without providing any semblance of quality service. As there is no viable competition it will get worse, this is only tip of iceberg stuff. The only solution is to stop submitting and just as importantly stop purchasing their slabs regardless of the seller. If their black ink ever starts to sniff red the exec's will need to cowardly shield their large ill-gotten bonus' by selling off the CGC division, which frankly is probably the best thing that could happen.
