  1. How I Met Your Mother reference. I didn't even graduate high school...
  2. Great quality is all that matters, as a fan, which is why DC should release the Snyder Cut for Justice League... We, as fans, shouldn't be able to care less about the $$$$$ studios make. Comic book movies shouldn't be geared to general audiences. I don't care if Karen doesn't know who Vulko is - us comic book readers would - and he should've been in Justice League. Stay true to source material (not completely, as we do need changes and surprises to stay interested) and stop pandering to critics and know-nothings, film studios. Yes, they need to make money and yes, they need to entice general audiences. Look at what the MCU has accomplished, though. People know who Iron Man and The Avengers are because of good-to-great quality movies that started a foundation where the casual moviegoers are actually interested in the properties despite not being original comic readers. Marketing and high-quality films will draw crowds.
  3. You find out how much it's worth by how much someone is willing to pay for it.
  4. You should be ashamed. I had no idea there was a "limit"...
  5. Who is DR. X? What is this? Where am I? When is someone going to tell me wtf is going on? Why is Gamora?
  6. "If we can't accept limitations, we're boundary-less, we're no better than the bad guys."
  7. My dad was on Judge Judy when I was in high school... I never saw it, but I want to see it.
  8. There are too many people that think their brother's book is perfect and get PO'd when CGC gives it a 7.0. I've been amateur grading for a few months and still don't know jack-s^&*. I'm glad that you're (mostly) happy with your first submission. Being pessimistic in this case is the best scenario. CGC is typically tough and consistent. Remember that the cover isn't the only condition that matters to the grade. That could be the key to the 9.2 grade.
  9. They use those to help secure the book, depending on the size of the slab, and the size of the book.
  10. It's a matter of opinion. No one's subjective opinion of un-witnessed signatures is "wrong", as you so incorrectly put it. Why would a buyer spend $250 extra for a signature that wasn't seen administered when, usually, you can find a product that was and be able to sleep easier? Exactly.
  11. True, but it's very likely at this point. All we know about the title is that it was at one point "Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet" at the very early stages when A3 was changed to 'Infinity War'. We'll find out tomorrow!
  12. You disagree with the objective nature of comic books vs video games..? It's not a matter of opinion. If you want to discuss the nature of comics vs video game packages, then that's a completely different topic. An action figure/toy is infinitely closer to a comic book than an artifact that contains code required by a machine to convey visual representation of said code is.
  13. Except that a comic is an actual piece of art. The art of a video game is binary visual code... A graded comic book is a conditioned piece of art. A graded video game is a conditioned box that has an artifact with the code that is read by a machine that uses throughput to translate language into visual media you can read through an electronic device... Just hugely, hugely, different animals.
  14. It's much different, because a comic book is the art. The graders are judging the condition of the actual art. A video game case/disc/whatever is not the art. It's the binary and visual translation of the data from media-to-screen that is the art...
