  1. Sent it to be resto screened - then cleaned and pressed if resto free... wish me luck
  2. You guys are great at it and let's all be realistic if we get it within a half grade either way that is spot on considering all the variables.
  3. I questioned that same thing... but I could not tell for sure. The person pressing it said he will screen it for resto before my window to return ends.
  4. Hi So I rolled the dice and bought this raw on ebay (I know I’m crazy) but I think I did ok. It is going to get pressed and dry cleaned next week. But I love putting it up for discussion while it goes on vacation to Florida- so please and thank you!
  5. You win some you lose some... My TTA 35 came back with this one a 5.5 and thought that was a 5.0 max!
  6. It is back- and the 4.5s have it! I was hoping for a 5 but no complaints
  7. I also got the email about my 2 standards being screened, they said both "should" grade at the grade they are or within a half grade - no mention of a press or anything. I told them to move forward with the grading. We will find out in a couple weeks how it goes, plus the 3 moderns sent in with no screening...
  8. 2 signatures.. 1 observed one not? it should be yellow with a green stripe. i have a book like this
  9. I just started following you the other day! After buying my first book via instagram a couple weeks ago from elite comics I set up separate insta accounts to post my comics check me out if you like ... unstoppablecomics51 As far as buying and selling, only the one purchase so far, but seems a little like the wild west... even worse then facebook...not much structure no clue who you are dealing with and crazy raffle type things. I already saw a raffle for a af 15 and one for xmen1 !
  10. This is very cool- I just mailed out 5 other guys slabs - 3 cbcs and 2 pgx- 2 at the standard level and 3 modern, I can not wait to see what happens.
  11. Yea off to the presser it went... sent him some pics and he seemed excited to work on it... I will post some pics when it gets back Thanks to all the responses feel pretty good about the pick up and scared of what's to come (caught myself perusing some more on the auction sites..)
  12. HAHAHA awesome- most of what you said are reasons I picked this one and some more! I spoke to my presser he said he can press a lot of it out safely That is what I am afraid of...
  13. Hello Golden Agers! As the title says this is my first foray into the golden age. I am long time collector with a focus on SA and BA mostly marvel. But I have always been fascinated by the war time comics and the fact that the Axis powers were used so often as villains. I wanted to add a piece to my collection so I have been looking for the right piece for a while. I wanted a Nazi cover with marvel characters preferably. I finally pulled the trigger on this marvel mystery comics 17. But as you know finding comps on these is nearly impossible and grading is a bit different so I really do not know if I got a decent deal...the book is complete and attached at one staple. also want to know if I can get it pressed like any other book. Thanks for looking and opinions are welcome.
  14. Hello! I just stumbled upon this thread and love it- some incredible stuff here. I am new to OA collecting but a long time comic collector. When I started looking around at art being an x-men fan and preferring the full page (covers splashes) I have not found any published pieces available and within my budget that I have purchased yet. That being said I have picked up a few commission pieces so far and love them two are below- and I have a few more that next time they are out I will share. I do have a question though. Now that I am accumulating a few pieces and can not frame and display them all- what is the best way to store them? Also what is the best way to contact a creator to get a commission done? (I have only bought secondary market) Thanks and I would love to hear your opinions! the first one of wolverine and colossus is Nate Stockman and the second is a jam Storm piece by Billy Tucci and Matt Flint
  15. Thanks Joey- very happy with the results.. and also just got back the grades on the modern stuff... you are a magician. The rest of the silver will be a while
