  1. sorry, but you've been around long enough to have heard the tales of 'ole overgrading Ted, and they all true . Hell, just look at that $%$# he has on his website and you can play name the grade and it ain't close
  2. yes, CC/Metro gives their books about a 1 point grade bump on raws. That's how they roll. They aren't alone either. Superworld pulls this $%$# too as a few select others do as well Joe Nacca, and on and on.... And they're not stupid, they know full well what they are doing. Somewhat akin to giving u a reach around and then refusing to take you to dinner afterwards I refuse to buy raws from these clowns
  3. my biggest complaint about Bob is that there's no 90% off discount on the SPIN-A-DEAL wheel
  4. sorry to disappoint, but the majority of the value is in the cover as others have said
  5. yeah! lets throw this regular sized beauty in a mag holder! Absolutely brilliant
  6. Meh, we all eventually pay a "stupid" tax from time to time, but you could have done worse
  7. I might be in the minority here. I don't mind his videos and I enjoy seeing what folks are selling in shops or cons. I would however suggest just wear a flannel or button down shirt and place your phone in the breast pocket. High quality phones can produce some fine quality videos. I personally hate post bronze books, but his videos aren't all that troubling IMO
  8. Thank you. I jumped out of the hobby from about 1990-2012 and didn't discover the boards for about 5 years after that so I wasn't sure if there was some movement with that. Oh well, thank you
  9. Honestly, if there's a thread out there in the bowels of this forum, you have my apologies. including stock image
  10. I guess I could see how this happens when you mix, but this is the first its happened to me after a couple years of doing this. Good luck
  11. Funny, NOT Freakn' Funny Sent a box of 8 books received this past Thursday 1/26 6 standard fast track 2 Walkthrough So I'm checking the progesss past few days and notice my 6 fast track are flying through the grading process and now my 6 books are in QC and my 2 walk throughs are still SFG While I'm sure most here are like "hey dumdum, what are you complaining about, you got 700 of value for 330" But I'm pissed because I could have gave two craps when the 6 got graded
  12. why was "Golden Guys", by Comic Corp an abysmal failure. While most of their videos struggled to garner more that 300 views, I was a faithful viewer and found them very entertaining. I know most of them admittedly trolled the boards here, but I think they stopped YouTube over a year back.I guess GA collectors and YouTube don't mix well. Could be an age thing?
  13. I think the thing is that you folks overlook, is that CGC is a small mom and pop operation and they can only do so much with the small amount of resources that they have.
  14. you asked a simple question and got steamrolled for it. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Simple yes or no would have sufficed, but yet here we are
  15. I'll play along.. bought this as a metropolis 6.5 I think its a stretch but maybe I'm being too critical
  16. Future Past Vintage Collectables...I hated it at first and then the duo grew on me..they have good chemistry
  17. yep, used CL for the first time, and I'll never make that mistake again
  18. y'all need to start pressing your own books. Takes a bit to master, but once confident, you can bypass the turd burglars over you know where
