At what point will CGC make the grades available online? It been so long that my books are at CGC that I forgot. 

I know many of you like the surprise when books arrive but not me. I would be happy to know my books still exist at this point.

Not helping my anxiety with books at CCS/CGC since May with no movement.

My observations would indicate that your suggestion would seriously damage the CGC brand.

100 percent. 

This show is hysterical. John Cena is incredibly funny.

Quick question……What are the chances that the caterpillar in episode 1 is Mr. Mind? Am I grasping?

Okay, I admit I have a vested interest in this speculation.  From the DC comics that will shine the brightest / be a potential multi-bagger in the coming 2 to 3 years - Wonder Woman #204 (1st Appearance of Nubia) is high on my watch list.

 

Why...Because there's a very strong possibility that the DCEU has BIG PLANS for Nubia and that she'll be featured prominently in the upcoming Wonder Woman #3 movie. 

 

For you CGC collectors, the census shows there are currently only (5) copies of WW #204 in CGC 9.8 Universal Blue out of a population of 247 graded copies.  That means just 2% of the CGC population of WW #204 are in 9.8 condition.  Which equates to a dramatic imbalance of low supply vs high demand for this puppy in the CGC 9.8 grade.

 

Following the path of other very scarce CGC 9.8 Bronze Age books (Marvel Spotlight #5, Heroes for Hire #1, Strange Tales #169, etc) this issue has what I hope / believe to be a bright future once the news is official about Nubia joining the DCEU.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I just came across this. I agree with you here. I believe this book has the potential to become the next Shazam 28.  DC is changing things up.  Gorgeous copy by the way.

Curious if your opinion stays the same after a close up of the mess going on the back cover. Otherwise back cover is immaculate for an unpressed book.

Gorgeous book. 9.0+ IMO.

What do you think about the ink defect in relation to grade drop? This is the only copy I have ever seen with this defect.

Not planning on having this book slabbed, but I always loved this throwback cover and want a decent grade raw copy for my collection.  I can't put my finger on how much the manufacturing defect I am curious about affects the overall grade.  

By Mary Marvel's skirt, and by the bottom of the lightning bolt it seems the black ink didn't cover the yellow underneath. It is very obvious.  How much does this defect pul the grade down?

Otherwise, there is a spine tic by the middle of the "C" in Captain Marvel Junior, and also some funkiness in the middle of the spine on the back of the book.

I am more concerned on your opinions as to the color defect on the cover. Thanks!!

My 4/11 received slow moderns have not even been charged yet. Any day now I see the TATs jumping to 250 days.

What a nightmare. Hopefully they get to your books soon. 

Anyone have any miracle movement on books at CCS?  Wondering what the "Received at CCS" date of books they are pressing now is for modern and value. 

This sucks. Thanks

Yes, it is surprising that it took that long to post the 2nd best cover of the Bronze Age. Now for the best:

A definite favorite. But not exactly a Bronze or Silver age book…. More like a Brilver age book.

Regular pressing is at 9 months so April books aren't the oldest books.

Thats discouraging.

Glad I’m not alone in the Value boat… CCS has been pressing my books since April… 

That is too much. Were the books "Received at CCS" in April?  Are the submissions still marked as "Received at CCS"?

Hopefully, they have a heart and grade them quickly post-pressing.   

It's just not right that their priority isn't getting the oldest books out.

Biggest case I have seen so far  measures roughly 14" x 9.5" x 1"

Super close to a Treasury edition sized case!

I have hope.
 

Funky leg and all, this is one of my favorite all time covers. Iconic. 

Glad this worked out.

New Batman looks great.   

Nobody cares about Black Adam, BUT they do care about the Rock.  They cast the right star for this to be a win for DC.  

Right on. I wouldn’t be surprised if Black Adam becomes the number one character for the next generation of superhero / comic fans this movie will create. The Rock draws in more movie goers than any other actor. Besides that the teasers look amazing.

Ha! Love it. 

CNN, MSNBC, Variety, etc. all have published articles about the teaser. I really think this character is going to reach a huge audience and gain a ton of new fans worldwide with the Rock attached. I am psyched for this movie more than any other upcoming project from DC or from Marvel.   Last time I was this excited was for the first X-Men movie. 

Kidding aside, it would be good practice to notify someone in your family of what to do with your collection should something happen to you.  Something as simple as “bring my collection to XYZ auction house” could keep your heirs from getting completely ripped off. 
 

Lots of changing hierarchy and balance of power talk every time the Rock speaks of the character. My mind is all over the place wondering what is in store (in this movie and in the future).

Very exciting. 

Looks absolutely incredible. This will be huge for DC. 

Brilliant!! This is going to be HUGE!  
 

Finally.. DC Fandome is today!!!!
