  1. Pretty sure people are speccing the first appearance of Electro. 😂
  2. Great book. I don’t know how mmc2 vs 4 compare as far as desirability but almost everything marvel related is well up from 12 months ago. Last 3 months have been insane.
  3. Congrats. I’m sure you’re celebrating tonight
  4. Someone got a steal in a vf comic. 8.0 condition copies of this book don’t come around often
  5. Intent of causing harm is not enough for civil court. You have to show you suffered a financial harm in order to win any judgment.
  6. Here is one I saw recently. Hulk 181 9.0 trimmed but blue label
  7. Hi, i have seen several books that are noted as having restoration applied to them receive universal labels. These same books always received purple labels in the past. is the reason they are receiving blue universal labels due to the fact they are custom labels? Will this be changed soon as it doesn’t seem right for restored books to still be in a blue label with a note on the cover.
  8. Obviously there is a market today and people can make money. My opinion is I don’t believe it will last. I explained the type of collectibles that seem to be popular down the road and I personally see pops not fitting my personal assessment. doesn’t mean it can’t. I’m def not infallible but more times than not things that are immediately viewed as collectibles rarely survive.
  9. You me and a whole host of people. And now they go for bucketloads on ebay.
  10. I dont think they can last really when the vast majority keeps them in their boxes and is viewed as an investment or something to be well taken care of. This leads to the supply just getting bigger and bigger imo. The objects that the majority took out of the box and used and enjoyed are the items that seem to develop into the real collectible wave. Anyone taken a look at the early super soakers that are still in the box. collectors are hunting them out like crazy but its an item I imagine was almost always taken out of the box and used for enjoyment.
  11. The valuation is only set at the high grade. Bb25 is incredibly more difficult than avengers 4 in high grade. mid grade and lower avengers 4 wipes the floor with bb25
  12. Same way showcase 4 is considered the beginning of the silver age. There are dates that exist. its a bigger and more interesting book than half the list.
  13. I believe tec225 is viewed as golden age. If not its typically pricier than bb28. also batman 121 is absolutely missing. It’s far more valuable than Batman 181 and flash123
  14. To each there own I guess. I know many collectors that would prefer a poorer visual versus a copy with brittle pages. Everyone has their preferences. I have a few 2.0 books myself that have brittle pages that present very well. I believe that at brittle, you start taking a hit on the grade of the book. Also I just got this book and didn't really try and put it in the most flattering manner since its not for sale and looks great in person to me. In person I find the colors on my copy really pop for a 1.8 book
  15. Finally got my tec73 back from Cgc. Such a ridiculously awesome batman cover. Normally I’m more of a first appearance but I’m more in the tec73 boat myself.
  16. I was all for a standard convo until your poor reply with an emojo and zero support. Awww you went through my history. Thats cute. so yeah I really dont come on here much, I have other outlets that I spend my time on, unlike you who seems permanently locked in. End of the day, poor analogy, zero retort, name calling. Yeah you are a beacon for this forum.
  17. Awwww someone needs a hug. Sorry I cant agree with your assessment on corporate greed. Its honestly not my fault I can read a financial statement while you remain illiterate to it. I am an avid collector and do post some of my books from time to time. I also sell on ebay and find this action by paypal to be a pure money grab but then again i do know what 2 + 2 equals. Many others on this thread are also quite capable as well. Shame you arent. Enjoy your Goat or whatever you have.
  18. 5 days. Don't flatter yourself. Unlike you, I dont hound the cgc forums much. Check out my history, large intervals of no comments. Its ok you dont have any better retort and an emoji. I am sure you are a bastion of knowledge on this matter but just prefer to keep it to yourself.
  19. Ill take that as throwing in the towel. Thanks for playing along. May yoru future analogies be more comparable.
  20. Do you know how many transactions they do. Also you are assuming a big event like $118k from a single customer. Fact is their profit levels are at near all time highs which is a much better gauge as to whether the 30 cents they presently make on every transactions plus 3% of all sales that are fully completed results in terrific profits. Have you read their Financials? Do you know for a fact refunds they are unable to collect are not offset by every single 30 cent charge they perform? What percentage of sales returns are uncollectible and result in Paypal having to eat the costs? You throw out big numbers saying there is a big risk but have no evidence that paypal has any difficulty collecting from the seller. Also for every single sales they make 30 cents regardless of the end result. Do you know how many transactions paypal does on a daily basis? Your original analogy was awful, paypals charges are nothing akin to rent and I called you on it. Paypal's pay structure is more akin to a royalty (think McDonalds) except Royalties dont get paid on money that has to be refunded. Also if the simple process of returning money from one account to another is so time cumbersome and costly, how is it they can process all friends and family transactions for free. Its doing the same thing, shifting of funds from one account to another and there is zero cost. Feel free to throw out more extreme level examples that have either not occurred or have not had a material impact on Paypal's profitability.
