  1. I can grade how I want! But still i tend to fall on the strict side of the scale. Leads to less disappointments. Besides if they didn't know what spine ticks are , chances are the bags and boards may not be acid free, or boxes until full may have had the comics slump or shift. Spines all facing same direction causing roll. Again too many variables.
  2. That really is unanswerable. Still even with the information provided WAY too many variables to consider. That said short answer without a press or clean . I would guesstimate average somewhere between 8.5 and 9.0. As dark covers would show the finger prints and they didn't really know what spine ticks are.
  3. Yeah it has actually been a bit for me, but that last time. I was more like. Still that one was not only deserved, but well earned.
  4. sounds like a derogatory towards a- Want to go for 3 and get the box? By the way not sure if you saw it, but Adamantium got Greggy to speak in " This week back from CGC " from his unboxing video. I already said you would be so jealous..
  5. If it truly is high grade someone will buy it. Depending on how much you have just separate it by Character, publisher, or cover artist. Keep the lots small enough that shipping doesn't add too much to the price per copy.
  6. For you too that looks like a political hair pull.
  7. Mine was received on 10/28 MST and is also still at SFG. Did you do a Prescreen ? Mine is and from what several others have said that it can add 10 days , which might help explain why some books received after are being graded before. That and you did just post after Greggy. He submit TONS of books so I would not really use or compare to his TAT...
  8. I stand corrected. Identity Crisis averted.
  9. This is why you never roam a Gnome, and yes unfortunately I do know what your saying. If only they could be this smooth and saxy. Just might have me playing Careless Whisper outside of their window.
  10. I am pretty sure he is back. Although I believe he changed his Board Name . Maybe he read the Identity Crisis topic..
  11. This feels a little like a , but it would have been almost unreadable had I black and white keystroked out a summation of 6 months . Now as for the valuable content. Yes it has been few and far between. There have been some awesome sales threads. There is an good thread about removing lignin from the aging paper of comics reverting the yellowing back and reducing brittleness from them. One about nominating the best comic collector . Some interesting ones about specific collector's search for their white whales and completing their collections. Plus even these drama posts have had their moments. Like the fact to watch out for Character Labels being Blue but actually having restoration. PSA about how some are trying to scam collectors and ways to avoid it , or at least get your money back. Sometimes we just have to wade through the muck to find the gems. After all how many dollar bins have we ever had to dive through to find those deals?
  12. Thank you. I agree. Too many of them sometimes the title pulls you in, only to realize it wasn't actually a reader copy it was only pieces and a staple or that you only own partial shares of an investment company not actual pieces of the investment. Hey at least the sales threads have been rocking!
  13. Besides for now Pink Kryptonite and a Cross dressing Superman are only just a
  14. I would say exactly, but they haven't started drawing him as a cross dresser yet...
  15. Well he either bought them that way or the were washed one too many times by Ma and Pa Kent..
  16. And speaking of innuendo covers this one continues to rise.
  17. Well he binds it back to defeat the Aliens..
  18. Oh a collection found in Canada was posted on YouTube and has had some discussions of how BiG of a score it really is ( or is not) And another member traded some horseshoe art for some comics.
  19. Ok. Ok.. round two.. So my comic shop got criticized for not allowing direct communication on ebay because a board member wanted to discuss some issues and a possible deal, while other members tried to tell him use their website as the price is already lower and they have good communication there, but he didn't really want anything more than to vent, and hope they would change their Ebay communication policy. All of this went on WAY longer than it really should have ending with.. Stephanie Hans didn't recognize her own Signature on a CGC SS book and the owner who only posted it on ebay with a $28k asking price came on here to rant about it. Turns out Stephanie signed up for the boards and came on here to not only respond to these posts, but turns out she is awesome. Also she even said if her Signature was worth that she would retire to the south of France. Florida Man is still doing Florida Man things.. CGC TAT have gotten to the point where it takes about 10 days just to be marked as recieved after the package arrives. This guy again? Guess they did say he was getting a sequel.. Well he decided to start a thread on the ethics of pressing. That got locked just like the rest. We have had some trying to figure out what the first US appearance of the Muppets in comics . ( no this image is not the resulting answer) Oh And @kav still trying to collect them all needs this cover edited to include him Plus turns out there are some fans of Superman with a Mullet. One Mullet to Rule the All! Meanwhile in Florida they cancelled the annual mullet toss. Nope .. not that kind. But back to comics. Speculators going to speculate. So Vigilante #1 got a boost as well as Archie Adventures of TMNT #1 also jumped.
  20. I know you can do what you want , but you better watch yourself.
