    Another common misinterpretation during the Endgame trailers was the Big 3 walking up to Thanos. A lot of people thought it was Doctor Strange's cape.

    That is not Mjolnir. It's the hammer side of Stormbreaker. The Russo Bros historically use alternate shots in trailers to throw off their audiences.

    Uh... Whatever someone's willing to pay for them, maybe...?

    1.0-1.5 IMO.

    So...? Guess what that means: Those Mint-graded copies don't have "brutal cuts". 2/14,000 ASM 361s are Mint.
  6. theCapraAegagrus
    Yeah, suck it, competitors! #70, losers!
  7. theCapraAegagrus
    One of the most 'meh' Mints out there.
  8. theCapraAegagrus
    Maybe.
  9. theCapraAegagrus
    3.5, maybe?

    If a comic was not cut perfectly, it will not receive a Mint or Gem Mint grade from CGC. So, in your case, the comic's must not be perfect (as Gem/Mint would imply). Many people do not understand some simple concepts, such as above, that eliminate comics from being Mint/Gem. Sure, it's more difficult to tell the difference between a 9.8 and a 9.9, I'm confident that I can, but it's minuscule.

    If people didn't buy NM- and higher at twice the price at 0.2 increments then we wouldn't even be discussing this. I didn't "miss any points". I can tell the difference between a 9.8 and Gem Mint. I'm not sure that a 9.9 grade should even exist.

    I simply hate those fat cases with the ugly- gray grade.

    This is really all you had to say. CGC'd comics will always command a premium because: 'Certainty' of authenticity. It costs money to utilize their services. Only demand will fix the market. Supply will never be higher, though. Pretending that CGC can somehow "fix" the market is asinine. By default they inflate the market for assessing their opinions on comics. Their costs = higher costs for collectors. It's logic.

    No one is forcing you to buy anything above cover price. No one is preventing you from buying below cover price. See above post referencing free market economy.
  16. theCapraAegagrus
    "Slabbing" is a service - not a product. The comic book is the product; Of which aftermarket prices CGC cannot control. It's a Free market economy.
  17. theCapraAegagrus
    Yup. This makes me sad that someone did that.
  18. theCapraAegagrus
    What...? Comic books have prices on them. CGC's services also have prices on them. Product + service = free aftermarket pricing based on supply/demand. This is how the world works.
  19. theCapraAegagrus
    You mean MSRP? Yeah, CGC doesn't sell a product, which means they cannot stipulate market prices. The comic books themselves are products.
  20. theCapraAegagrus
    No, but I can give you 9 more consultations.
  21. theCapraAegagrus
    I like movies about cults.
  22. theCapraAegagrus
    It can't be Mint, either. It could be a NM/Mint 9.8, though!
  23. theCapraAegagrus
    "It is what it is." "Is it ever what it isn't...?"
  24. theCapraAegagrus
    CGC Grading Scale
  25. theCapraAegagrus
    Copies that are not perfectly centered are simply disqualified from Mint/Gem contention. Otherwise, you're correct.
