  1. I'm going to go broke this next month. Can you play the games any time after the initial purchase or ddo you have to be on their site?
  2. I don't see that book going up again. There are so many high grade copies around. 9.8s are all over the place on ebay. Its like everyone and their uncle owns a copy. Takes away from the "rarity" part of the book.
  3. I think the comic has to have like Gwen or Pool in it to go up in value.
  4. Excellent. I had no idea places like this existed. So are you basically downloading the game and playing it on your PC?
  5. Favorite Classic PC game is Blood which I believe was available for Windows 95. I have no idea how to play it anymore without a version of DOS built into the PC. I've tried DOS alternatives but have had no luck with them.
  6. Anyone here have any old arcade games at their home? The ones from the early 80s... Gorf, Wizard of Wor, Galaga, Crazy Climber to name a few. I've been wanting to get a stand up game for my room forever but i'm afraid it will need repair at some point and i'll end up broke looking for a repair man and some ancient parts. Any input/opinions are welcome. If you have a game post up the pics!
  7. Nice book all around. Not sure how CGC would handle the spine issue which is the most visible defect. I'll say 7.0 with a chance of 7.5
  8. I started watching the show at the beginning of Tom Baker and you couldn't take your eyes off the television for one second. Man I had a childhood crush on Sarah Jane Smith (RIP) :{ The Genenesis of the Daleks was the coolest program to date I had scene in the sci-fi category. I believe you can watch some of the episodes on Demand somewhere but alot of them were missing.
  9. Looking forward to seeing what it comes back as. The grading education lasts for a life time.
  10. Trying to get a grasp on the lower grades. If the staples were attached loosely would the grade see a significant hike?
  11. A lot of good stuff going for this book. I'd hate to think it would have to settle for the 5.0 because of the attempted erasing of pen. No reasoan this book shouldn't get an easy 6.0 IMO.
  12. I guessed 3.5 on the nose. CGC will be getting my resume for a grader which so far just consists of this thread.
  13. Am I really supposed to answer that? I'll let you guys/gals continue this never ending debate. Enjoy.
  14. I'm really in the hobby for fun so the grading companies can pretty much call stuff whatever they want. You certainly can't please everyone but you CAN beat a horse too many times.
  15. Here is the only copy I could find on ebay and it sold for less than #50 bucks. Condition of comic is not listed in this finished auction.
  16. Yah i'm pretty much anywhere in the 3.0 - 4.0 range so i'll say 3.5 also
  17. That statement was directly taken from CGCs definition on this site. It is their exact words in the FAQ section. You should call them and tell them their error in this.
  18. You say "from your other post" but the OP has 1 post so what am I missing? Was something removed from the original post?
  19. Restoration is treatment intended to return a comic book to a known or assumed state by adding non-original material.
  20. So what grade was this book advertised as in the auction? I've re-read (not the same as unread) the whole conversation and the OP never mentions the sellers grade.
  21. I was just kidding don't really want the buyer to start trouble. Unread comic just leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time I see it in a description.
