I'm not seeing any obvious reasons to press. 9.4+ IMO.

Yes, that's why I capitalized that stretch and started it with "The Last".

No one is as great as their best nor as bad as their worst. Her name is forever enshrined on The Last Movie I Would Ever Want to Re-watch, though.

No. CGC stickers with a grade below 9.9/Mint or 10/Gem Mint, back then, were printed in gray.

No!

Not a dumb topic. It looks like #8, but says #3, and was originally 60 cents... I personally can't find any information on it. Hopefully someone else know wtf this is.

My asking price was intentionally higher than what I expected to sell for - because it's eBay. I expected it to sell for twice what the naysayers were claiming it was worth ($300). The "GPA" of that deck was $300. I sold it for $700. That is the point. You missed it.

I can decode the address from that image.

4.0 IMO.

8.5 IMO.

CBCS does have options to send a single invoice, however, it's pricey. It might be the same cost/book when factoring in multiple shipments (CGC) vs up-charge (CBCS). Until CBCS actually fixes their customer service, I don't suggest anyone submits thru them. CGC, IMO, does a tremendous job of 'making things right'. A ton of people have problems even getting a response from Voldemort. Many times in my life I have been a repeat customer based on customer service. Bad service will always remove you from my consideration. It makes all of the difference to me. I don't find any value in "verified" signatures. I simply can't trust them. I'd rather buy a raw book that a signature appears authentic on, than a graded book with someone else's opinion on the signature. That's just a personal preference, though.

It depends on your intentions. Financial value of a restored "super key" like this plummets with restoration. If you don't care about $$$$$ and want the best-looking comic possible... Well, I would sell it and "upgrade" before paying for professional restoration.

I wouldn't say that by default CBCS always grades higher. They're CGC's only legitimate competitor. They do a good job at what they're paid to do. They have a lot of shortcomings, though. CGC has the advantage of Census and Registry - as well as long-standing reputation. Brand recognition. CBCS has the advantage of not having a Newton Ring problem. CBCS falls very short of customer service satisfaction (from my observations). The upside is that they know they have problems and are claiming, at least, that they're being worked on (in focus). Where CGC, in my mind, is the golden ticket; They don't "verify" signatures. They only authenticate via chain of custody. Factor in all of these things and you get the answer to the equation. It's not just grade of opinion, but overall brand quality.

7.5 IMO.

I concur. A damn nice comic.

I can't assess the grade and I couldn't care less about its financial value.

As a seller of other "collectibles", I will always wait to sell at the right price rather than selling quickly. That is mostly how the market works. Just because you won't pay the "ridiculous" price does not mean that someone else won't. I once listed an item for $1k OBO. I got roasted in messages and on sites in "listings posted by people on crack". Told it wouldn't sell for more than $300. Guess what? A few days later someone sends me an offer for $700. They even sent a grateful message after delivery. What you perceive as "ridiculous" means nothing to anyone else. Just FYI.

Can you point us in the direction of the listing?
