No. Bidding up his auctions then cancelling your bids would be unethical.

I heard Buzzetta knows a man. Who knows a man. Who used to work with this other dude. Who was related to this other man. It's connections like this which are priceless.

Is there anything between them slabs or are they right against each other?

So great seeing this come from you

Why even slab at that point? Will a PGX slab give more than selling raw?

Not sure TBH. One thing all my last CGC submissions have lacked is the fun factor. Just want to get some books back in a reasonable time without all the worries.

I have had good luck with buying PGX, but you have to really examine prior to purchase. Of the three 9.4s cracked that I can remember, two were 9.4 and one was 9.2. The lesser grades all seemed fairly accurate, but again, I scrutinized what I was buying.

My next submission is actually gonna be with PGX. Books are in the $100 to $200 range so even if they come back way low its no big deal. 

With older books you also take into consideration the page quality. Many collectors prefer White pages to Off White.

Also the way the comic is cut is a big factor. A 9.8 with slight miswrap isn't as sought after as a 9.8 perfectly centered.

Disco Stu?

My first LCS was More Fun Comics in Glen Ellyn Illinois. Owner was Jeff Haynes. Great guy. His shop was great had a little bit of everything. This was back in the late 80s before the days of speculation. 

Reputation. Let that be what guides you on possible board purchases. 

Small amount of debris lol. I swear the graders have case wars during their break time and it's random broken pieces ending up in people's case. 

I have read thru the current 1st page of the WTB section and I see what the OP is talking about. It's almost like many buyers don't know what they want and need people to come and play salesman. 

Come on now just pick the one YOU like the best. Does it really matter what everyone else's opinion is? If everyone said go with xxx and you were kind of leaning towards another book, are you going to go with what we say? You gonna go out and purchase an old Buick because a bunch of people on the internet told you to?

I voted "No" but I think that if the OP says something stupid we should all be able to make fun of them. Many years ago when I was still on Facebook  I'd see people in the comic groups posting the same silly WTB messages all the time. "I'm looking for [insert random key book] but I want a deal".  Eventually people stated making fun of these posts and they stopped. Just my

Up until a couple months ago, I barely acknowledged the existence of their ‘competitors’ across the street.

Now I’m thinking of maybe taking a closer look.   My faith in CGC has all but left the building....

I'm so tired of the current situation I'm gonna use "the other" competitor that's used to be run out of a basement.

My nephew is heading over this afternoon so we can open the 2 boxes we got back from CGC a couple of weeks ago. I'll report back later.

So your submission from March of 2020 finally came back? Who says fast track is a waste?

Best way to get even is cancel any account you have with them and use a competitor. That's what I'm doing. 

We've been in line for a broken roller-coaster how long now? I think its time for a new ride.

Is there a chance the track could bend? 

Not on your life my Hindu friend. 

I just read PGXs website and I don't feel bad. 30 days TAT for $20
