Jeffro.

Is he even still around?

Is this also the ultimate compliment as a collector?! Pretty much

Miller writing DD is what actually matters, and that is right there at the start of Copper. Ah good point. I forgot he didn't start writing at 158.

It's an interesting idea. Miller is a major force in comics, and his work was fully on display from Bronze thru Copper. I'd probably vote for a transition period beginning in 1985 or 1986... and run that up into the early 90's - maybe when Image began? I say 85/86 because that's when Marvel had Secret Wars going (84/85) and DC brought Crisis on Infinite Earths (85/86). So both major publishers had big changes going on. Plus DC had Watchmen (86/87) and the Dark Knight (86), which were huge game-changers. TMNT was 1984, so it's kind of right in that mid-80s time frame. I was thinking earlier than '85/'86. I can't in any way wrap my brain around the concept that copper begins that late.

"I heard a rumor"....wait that's the gal from Umbrella Academy. omg!!!!! BUY EVERY UMBRELLA ACADEMY BOOK YOU CAN FIND!!!!!!!!!

It seems like some are no longer content to wait for any kind of official announcement. They are going out and hyping anything they can find based on sometimes spurious, or overly optimistic, evidence.

I hate you

Sheesh! Throw that 9.6 garbage in the trash. Buy the best! MANNUP!

Totally agree... The Miller books really should be the beginning of CA (Ronin, DKR, Wolverine Limited, DD run) Miller's DD run starts in 1979 and that might be a little too early. I do get the argument though. More and more, due to the murky evidence and many many different opinions on when the Copper age should begin, I'm in favor of a transitional period between the two. I know the idea will never achieve widespread acceptance but I like the concept.

Yes. Seems to me that you followed your own rules, which is good and the right thing to do. Had you gone against your own rules that would have been a big issue. You, as the seller, can set the "takeit" rules that you want. I've seen some sellers state that they accept the first takeit whether it's in the thread or in a PM. The main takeaway is whatever rules you set, follow them.

Waterproof is good enough for me... though Fireproof is something I would consider too Freeze them in carbonite

Established companies with decades of grading experience haven't been able to do it. But newer companies tend to have large amounts of magic pixie dust on hand. This is purportedly part of a transcript of a discussion recently overheard by their management Suit #1 - Some magic dust? Suit #2 - Yeah, magic dust, y'know? We give a little bit to one grader, a little bit to another grader, a little bit more for the lead grader, a little bit more... Suit #1 - And this will give us great TaT, man? Suit #2 - Aw, great TaT, man?!? Are you kidding, man? We'll have the fastest TaT in da world, man!

This is your first post and you're calling out veterans? Clueless noob gonna be clueless. Seems like they're multiplying these days.

Wouldn’t you do better if you sold those books yourself, then used that money to buy an FF 5 when it comes up? What he said. It's going to be far easier to find someone to buy a copy off of as opposed to trade for one.

Maybe they can eat the cards. Roughage man, roughage! Bellies will be full and colons will be healthy. That'll clean you out tout suite

One of my favorite Charlton horror covers. Lots of nice covers on what is mostly unappreciated Charlton books

Much like temp field hospitals for covid maybe CGC can apply for some of that sweet gubmint bling to open temp field grading centers.

Ironic! So was mine.

I recommend valium. Lots of valium

What shade?

Yeah, that's it. The graders vent their frustrations in the notes.
