  1. Still looks like poop, though. CBCS's is alright. I just find that CGC's labels look very nice and add to the appeal of the comics. PGX's looks like it's from and stuck in the 1980's (I can usually see the perforated edges of the paper stock, too). I think it's the fact of the grade sticker and the shiny CGC sticker. Something about them sticks out positively for me. The other guys' labels just look too plan without any contrast. I like a nice bagged/boarded book that takes nothing away from the cover art, too.
  2. Guy with goatee. Backwards hat. Charizard shirt. Hopefully his mom reports him for this and then kicks him out of her basement.
  3. That could be one of the draws for me. I understand wanting to 'flaunt' the condition of the book, for show/sale/otherwise, but those old labels definitely don't draw any attention away from the real art itself. Good analysis.
  4. If he wasn't 100% sure it's a scam, then he certainly wouldn't have posted it in more than 1 topic!
  5. Bookshelf. That's where all of my hardcovers and trade paperbacks are. It's where they're meant to be, too.
  6. Infinity War has more re-watch value because, as Doctor Strange himself said, "when it starts you can't catch your breath because it just keeps coming and coming" (when talking about the action in Infinity War). It's faster-pace, where Endgame focuses more on character moments and trying to satisfy everything full-circle. I can probably watch the last half of Endgame as much as I saw Infinity War, but it's a slow and effective build overall. The entire thing is a once-in-a-lifetime event and I will never forget that first time I sat there trying not to blink for 3 hours. The end credits for Endgame are also awesome for the Original 6. Absolutely love it.
  7. Yeah... Force of Will is basically the only thing keeping Vintage a playable format. I have a play-set in a deck with Mana Drains, and Mindbreak Traps + Mental Missteps since a DB we play with uses Storm burn... My playgroup won't allow Black Lotus even if I could afford one, so I haven't 'reinvested' in one. I have a nice, sexy, rare Black Lotus play-mat though. I basically have every watered-down ripoff of the Power 9. Lotus Bloom, Ancestral Vision, Mox Diamond, etc. Blue is my go-to color.
  8. True. 4th time I saw it I just couldn't wait until after the Vormir scene, because the last 75 minutes or so are purely awesome. I always forget it's a 3-hour movie .
  9. I think they're saying the "comic expert" is a fake and gives completely manufactured appraisal values.
  10. They just created Legends/Planeswalkers for Serra, Urza, and Yawgmoth. Unfortunately, they're all underwhelming, though.
  11. I think that bootlegs prevented this from hitting $3 billion, sadly. I did end up with an HQ bootleg of Infinity War after 3 weeks (I had already seen it 6 times in theaters). I probably watched the bootleg 25 times before it came out on Blu-ray. I don't have a bootleg for Endgame, but I imagine that some people have seen it, as opposed to going to the theater. That's hurt Endgame's numbers. I still wanna see it a couple more times. Just haven't had any spare time to go with my dad again.
  12. Damn. Neal Adams' Green Lantern because IMO it's more iconic to the character than Miller's is to DD. John Stewart vs Hal Jordan
  13. It's always good to spam other threads with info you already posted in a thread of its own in another sub-forum...
  14. I don't have a source, but Googling "Joker" the other day, I came across dozens of sites running with the same rumor:
