Thats a good point. Here is a better close up of the top left, AND also a picture of the top right without the shadowing from the scuffs.

Thank you! I just checked again. -The upper right is definitely shadows from the scuffed cased. -The spot two inches from the left is tiny and barely visible (i needed to take the photo and zoom to see it) and i am still not certain its a stain. I thought pencil mark for a second, but it looks more like the inner well is just stuck to the page there. -Now that "125" WOW. it is absolutely impossible to see except for in your photo. (and if that was erased, would they call it a stain?). I don't seem to think so. Im baffled.

Am I going blind? I recently received a 26 book submission back from CGC. All the grades were spot on (+ or - a grade or two here and there) as I expected...... Except for one grade I am baffled by. Thankfully, it wasn't a high dollar book, but it is a book I'd like a high grade copy of in my PC. I was expecting a 9.4, possibly 9.6 on a good day, and it ended up receiving a 8.0. The (only) Grader's note states: "light multiple stain on top of back cover" I am moving up in age and my vision isn't what it used to be........ I just don't see the stains!!! I do notice something peculiar going on over the "I" in Zinger, however it doesn't look like staining and may even be inner well touching the book? The marks in the white space to the right of the ad seem to be shadows from the scuffed case. Can anyone notice the stains? If so are they likely cleanable? and lastly do these stains warrant an 8.0? Thanks!

Thats harsh. Funny, but harsh nonetheless.

My dad's too. Huge fan throughout his entire life. He would have loved to even see Elvis reading Captain Marvel Jr. #2 in the Elvis movie. I wish he was alive to see not only Shazam on the silver screen, but how celebrated CBMs are in general.

“Two Post-credit scenes…. That are very telling for the future of Shazam” The fact that James Gunn retweeted that comment makes me VERY hopeful. Sandberg was recently quoted saying something along the lines of: Shazam’s future in the DCU all depends on how well FOTG does $$$$ (I am not too hopeful about that one).

SHIPPED!! 10/25/22 Economy Batch Received at CGC 10/25/22 Scheduled for Grading 03/01/23 GEI 03/03/23 QC 03/03/23 Shipped

Nice. About a calendar month faster than the posted 130 day TAT.

Shipped this morning?

If I have to see Jared Leto’s Joker one more time, I swear it will be my Super Villain Origin story.

That’s ectoplasmic residue, commonly known as ghost slime. I appreciate everyone not wanting to scare you but this “newton ring” nonsense is a straight out lie. I hate to be the one to say it but that book is haunted.

What a pathetic advertising effort. I hope the -script is great and the movie will catch on through word of mouth. Praying there’s a place for Shazam in the DCU. I’m fine if Zach Levi is replaced and the character is reimagined, but the kid in me will be heartbroken if FOTG is the last we see of Shazam.

Fixed it for you.

Speak of the devil.. I just had 2 Economy batches received at CGC on 10/25/22 go into GEI!

Sadly, I agree it likely won’t make enough. However I hope to see a new version of Shazam in the DCU. Gunn sensibility would be perfect for the Shazam Universe with its talking Tiger, worm mastermind, and uncle Dudley.

Wow. That’s great news.

Anyone have a Slow Economy shipped back today or last week? Trying to gauge what Slow Economy submission dates are being return now. Thanks!

Foxing on the back cover can spread to your board though, which then could spread back to your book in a different spot. I have one book in my entire collection that keeps doing this. I change the board periodically. Only foxxed up book I own that does this. Makes no sense to me.

Very cool. Final issue of Power of Shazam is an homage to the final issue #35 of Shazam! From the 1970’s.

Makes sense. I am sure we will see a lot of the Peacemaker Team in Waller. I want as much Vigilante time as possible. Funniest sociopath ever.

What an amazing cover! Mac Raboy was something else.

I agree. Consistency is the whole point of Gunn's reboot. It does look really good though and if it does a good job explaining the transition from the DCEU then the timing couldn't be better.

Looking forward to this trailer more than I was before the big DC takeover.

Quite frankly, I don’t care. I know you don’t want to hear that, but I don’t care. I’ve never seen a DC movie, DC-based movie that I’ve liked ever. So basically every DC movie…… past, present, and future… either sucked, sucks, or will suck? Give me a break. Based on this quote alone, I’ll take Dixon’s cantankerous opinion on Gunn’s future slate with a grain of salt.

Who says “CATSUP”? Did you send this message via telegram? It’s not 1812 buddy.
