  1. I have a Sundrop Dale Earnhardt card that came in a case of Sundrop.. We used to sell these in my Comic Shop (1988-2008) and Sundrop used to put a card inside each 12pack of Sundrop Cans for a while. There were 3 different cards I believe.. but we ended up getting 2 that were autographed.. (sealed in plastic) I ended up selling one.. (sigh) but I did keep the other. I know that CGC doesnt do autographed cards if an individual gets one signed.. but if this one came from the distributor as a "chase" in the case of drinks.. does that qualify as a grade-able card?
  2. I just got 25 books graded.. and to put them into the registry i have to enter 1 number at a time.. and then add then say i own it.. and then get the number entered.. then search and add it .. then hit add again .. etc.. 25 times.. Is there a way im missing that i can say i have order number X and here are the 25 books Poof? if not.. why isnt that something we can do
  3. yeah guess so.. unfortunately without the notification it looks like they just really botched the grading on it
  4. OK so i sent in a Double Cover Twilight Zone #1 from Now Comics. The outer cover is eh.. 9.2.. the inside cover (surprisingly or not) is 9.6+ or so i figured. I get it back.. its 9.8 (but the outer cover doesnt look 9.8....) heres my problem.. No note that its a double cover book in the grader notes.. ... no note on the Label itself that says "hey this is a double cover" .. SOoooooo I guess i have to send it back to CGC? to get "Double Cover" put on the label? and or grader notes? Why would that be something I have to specify for someone to put that in? Im sure they noticed it was a double cover as again.. the outer cover ISNT 9.8 and has a scuff down the side..
  5. Ok so i get there is 4000 covers of every issue that is at all collectible anymore.. which is great and its terrible.. I have an Amazing Spiderman #2, Dell Otto Virgin ComicXposure variant. So I go to put it in.. figuring it shouldnt be too hard.. OK so .. There is a ComicXposure issue by Dell Otto, and by Lucio Parrillo, and a Sideways Dell Otto retailer exclusive variant Trade/Virgin, and i have a black background dark Dell Otto ComicXposure Exclusive variant... so .. which is it i list..?? none of the ones that say "Dell'Otto" have the description of "Virgin Edition" .. and none say ComicXposure.. but it is.. and the ComicXposure one doesnt differentiate between Dell Otto and Parrillo.. Sheesh.. IF anyone knows. I put the picture of the one i have below (mines the Virgin not the trade....) all i know is it isnt the "JSCampbell one..
  6. doubt it.. you have to pick the book from the database dropdown list it works for Spiderman Unlimited.. i have the label attached to that in my cart. but doesnt show up for other carnage books
  7. weird.. it let me pick it for a Spiderman Unlimited #1.. thats in my order to do now. thats why i thought i could do it.. so i guess i need to change that?
  8. i cant pick the carnage label for an amazing spiderman 361... is this not available for that book? I see it for other books but not that one
  9. IF the artist is willing to send it in directly with a CGC authorization form you can do that.. but it has to come from the Artist/Writer etc.. Jeff Campbell sells CGC books so i dont know that he does much of this but you could ask.. next time you end up buying one from him. (But if you buy from a LCS, its already out of his hands so it will get a Green Label, (which to me isnt a bad thing, if you want it graded and slabbed.. you still have the certificate to go with it that says its real)
  10. Platinums did not come that way they were shipped several weeks after the 'shelf' version of both Superman 75 and 500.. so I would say the only way there is a platinum copy in the box is if it was a box that was sealed after the original shipping of the issue 500. They were printed and shipped to dealers 1 per shop from what I remember. I know we went through over 1000 copies of the bagged black superman in the first week.. and we received only 1 or 2 total Platinum 75's and i believe one came from a Diamond Distributors convention/meeting and only 1 of them was shipped to us directly
  11. this must be my problem.. have the same issue wanted to start a list but cant seem to do it if you have comics in a cart to do too..
  12. understood.. ok so agreed. Though i was the owner of one of the larger comic shops during this time in the middle of NASCAR country I do understand that this could be one of those things you make up. but .. 1. the dates.. 1st print is in 1990.. 3rd print is just after that with 11/91, hologram printing came out 6/92.. (so this in and of itself.. should lead to my basic "story" being true.. ) as the prices also rise from 1st Print ($1.50, to 2nd print 2.00, to 3rd print 3.00 to the hologram printed a year later at $5) For those that dont know much about the "Bible" for comics Overstreet's Comic Price guide that has listed comics for years and years and years.. I will upload a picture of the Legends of Nascar section.. this has been in the book since probably 1993 like this.. so it is not something that isnt known if you are a dealer in the comic community and have been had a comic shop open in the south where these books were widely owned/sold. MAXX race cards was litterally headquartered within about an hour away from our place, until UpperDeck bought them out mid-1990s. .. Again. this really doesnt matter if you dont know me.. but the stuff that I am sharing is available if you research it. Which I would hope that someone in the business of slabbing comics would do.. Here is the listing from the most current Overstreet Comic Price Guide. For those that dont know.. it's issued once a year since 1969/1970 ?.. this is the 49th edition so somewhere in there. I will be glad to send other information if needed.. I ran a LCS for 20 years, so some of this I experienced first hand.. yeah maybe not the new stuff... I dont expect anyone to take my word for it.. but I tried to give enough information that would allow a company in the business of knowing some stats about the books they are grading/slabbing to look up things and verify what I am saying. Hopefully there's an Overstreet somewhere in the GCG building.. I'd be shocked if there wasnt. I know its hard to think of something like that being printed out in a book form this day and age.. but thank goodness they still print things.. digital comics are darn tough to slab.
  13. Jennifer thanks! I know this is a confusing one, but it is incorrect in the CGC Census. There are 4 different 'variants' of the #1. The one you have as 2nd print.. in the Census with the MAXX Race cards.. is not 2nd print its 3rd. This is kind of the problem Im trying to iron out so i dont have to ship books back and forth to get the right label 1. $1.50 (First print issued first) November 1990 Copyright 2. 2.00 (2nd print, issued within the same month as the one above, does say 1st print inside (ERROR)) November 1990 Copyright 3. 3.00 (3rd print, issued 3rd, includes 4 1990 MAXX Race cards inserted) says 2nd print (ERROR) Jan 1991 Copyright 4. 5.00 Hologram version (This technically is a 4th print, has a hologram of Bill's car on the front) June 1992 Printing (does not say 1st /2nd or 3rd) I get you dont want to redo all of the "2nd print" ones that are out there (which are 3rd prints in actuality..) so I was trying to figure out how to do that but.. its really going to be something your team decides on.. as i get it affects previous slabs.. I'll just hold off on sending anything and maybe we can get this figured out I have several of each and want to get one of all 4 done.. but having 2 say 2nd print and 2 say 1st print is kinda defeating the purpose would like to see the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (and hologram whatever it is.. 4th or 1st either way.
