1.8 IMO.

Sounds awful.

I love The Force Awakens - so we just differ on opinion there. I know, I know, it's like 50% A New Hope remake. I don't care. I ing love it.

If The Rise of Skywalker is great, then I'll give the next movie a chance. If not, then I'll just stick to the historically good movies.

This makes my eyes do what your avatar's eyes are doing...

There is a lot of delusion going on over there... Holy mole-y...

@F For Fake @punksdropdirtysrh Does Death heavily tie into the Sandman series? Is it a "must-own" if I'm looking to complete it?

There's nothing wrong with low-grade comics. That being said, I would not collect low-grade runs after the Golden Age. That's just a personal preference.

Should've known it was fake fluff.

Yeah, I Googled the set to make sure they all had the same appearance (damn OCD), since Absolutes have varying book looks over the years. Glad they all look like they were printed in the same year!

Yeah, I don't know about restoration. I'd fit right in!

Pretty much anything in bag-and-board is "fine". I'd advocate slabbing if it was a wraparound cover or something to admire on the back, but 'back in the day' they didn't really do that, so I wouldn't advise it here. I like the aesthetic of bagging and boarding because you have the opportunity to handle the comic without wasting money (i.e. cracking a slab). As I've mentioned numerous times around here - I typically only buy Signature Series CGC products. A bag and board in proper conditions will protect the current integrity of this comic, unless you plan on admiring it on a Bed of Razors, or around a fire pit, or plan on playing 'catch' with it, etc etc etc... Whatever you do - it's a very nice looking book!

Too many horror stories for me to considering 'investing' my hard-earned money into Voldemort cases and opinions. I want peace of mind when I make a big purchase - not voices in the back of my head wondering what I actually have in that plastic case. I "buy the book and not the label" when it comes to condition, but I buy the label for the professional opinion on authenticity and conservation/restoration. Voldemort just doesn't live up to "professional" standards for me. Considering the answer to your question; Will we ever know? Someone could claim something to be, "from my personal collection that I bought off the rack and submitted to CGC myself", but can we trust what they say...?

Imagine CGC changing "Posted Edited" to "Post Restored".

Is there something wrong with this pl- Never mind. I understand.

You seem to be an expert regarding derogatory terms for "special" people...

Just need to upgrade my Infinity #6, and I'll be ready to get them signed (hopefully next year):

6.0-6.5 IMO.

7.0 IMO.

1. A 4.0 IMO. 2. Utilize CGC's services if you have the means and want to preserve this particular copy. It likely won't be worth more than you put into it - if you're considering re-selling in the future.

5.5 IMO.

I agree.

6.0-6.5 IMO.

7.0-range IMO.
