  1. Are you just randomly perusing 1.5 year old threads?
  2. A Qualified 4.5 sold on eBay for $2099 (and $2299 before that). Recent sales of blue label have been $2475, $2900, $3751, $3300.
  3. I doubt it. Spider-Man is THE face of Marvel and thus there is a greater demand for AF15 than there is FF1. And the first rule of economics is about scarcity, supply, and demand.
  4. I'm still baffled by the absurdity of values of non-1st print books. To me, their valuation lies purely in the print numbers and not having to do with any key events in the book. As a collector, do I value what happens in the story or do I value print numbers. (that's a rhetorical question, I obviously care more about a true 1st appearance.) Am I supposed to start hoarding facsimile editions here? I think what we're seeing is the price of true 1st print/1st appearance keys getting out of peoples price ranges and as a result any ancillary book is getting picked up. I've seen it happen with IH180 (though I argue there's value in a cameo appearance), FF49, and now 2nd prints, etc.
  5. That falls apart when you get to the 1:25, 1:50. ie, if you order 50, those 1 in 11's suddenly become 5 in 58. So best to just stick with "for".
  6. I don't understand the enormous bids on these signed lithographs. Is it just because his signature is so rare?
  7. These are all horrifying. The more Collette Turner covers I see, the more I want one.
  8. For your health or your financial well being?
  9. There's a WTB sub-forum for such requests. Comics Market - Want To Buy! - CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards (cgccomics.com) Oh, and also this section of the boards as well (which more specifically deals with original art. Original Comic Art Marketplace - CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards (cgccomics.com)
  10. I'm guessing it's the same roving exhibit that goes from museum to museum. I went to one in Edmonton and the OA blew my mind. (I just checked my phone and I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of it).
  11. Just my two cents here, but there is little value in submitting such a book for grading. It sounds like the book has personal value to you but I would honestly save the money and spend it elsewhere.
  12. How is it that my modern book was Scheduled for Grading on the 27th and is still sitting there but yours went through from the 8th already.
  13. Might be time to maintain an official list of accounts in the probation sub BEWARE Ben67 SCAMMER - Comics Market - Want To Buy! - CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards (cgccomics.com)
  14. Why would you want that? Is there value in single pages? I'd much rather just take it to the framers and have it mounted behind museum glass.
  15. Is it time to just put an official sticky note at the top of this sub-forum to address this question? It's asked almost on the daily. Perhaps lock it to admin comments and then provide a weekly update on what date packages are being opened/logged for so customers have an expectation of when they should begin to see it in their Submissions page.
  16. Just out of curiosity, is there a notepad or something within the CGC profile to maintain a personal probation list? Something that's easier to cross reference. Or do you guys just maintain a word file on your computer/Google docs?
  17. That's an understatement. I don't think anyone here is going to be able to provide a definitive response. You might want to call/email CGC directly. Also, not that my opinion matters, but I don't see the value in adding Chris Evans sig on that particular book. Other than the loose connection between Infinity War (movie) and Infinity Gauntlet (book), it's not like Chris actually did anything on that book nor is Captain America featured on the cover. Just my .
  18. I wish there was a collection database mobile app that did not require a subscription. I know the CLZ app used to have an option for a one time payment. I remember thinking to myself I had never purchased an app before and wasn't about to, but now I wish I had.
  19. The check has been shredded. The e-check is still pending. @BuscemasAvengers books should be in the mail with a tracking number now I believe.
  20. Holy smokes, some guy out there has the entire cover spread?!?!
  21. So you're saying my collection of Maxim's are worthless.
  22. God that's terrible. As a writer, how can you be proud of that? Growing up, we'd always imagine our own heroes and villains but we always wanted to give them cool names. Like I always thought Dreadnought would make for a cool darker/possessed Juggernaut. Or Man-O-War for some other character. Sure, they're not deep thoughtful names, but they stir up the child in me which first and foremost wanted a character to be cool.
  23. Just read this issue last night. I hope Booth does a few more interiors during Hickman's run.
