  1. It better not be Mark, or I'll serve him up some freedom toast.
  2. You're right Mark, I noticed the same thing. I've also heard that Rien means "nothing" in French. Isn't the writer of that book French? This may just be a revenge plot for that Freedom Fries era.
  3. You know Mark, those claws don't even look real. They look more like a psychic projection than bone.
  4. has it been confirmed that she is wolverines daughter? she looks more like sabertooth
  5. I noticed on graded copies I have seen, there is no mention of reign being wolverines daughter. Is that because you know she is not the daughter of wolverine, or it simply hasn't been stated in the comic yet?
  6. I dated a girl that was a 9.0 the HARD WAY that means she was actually a 6.0, but she had her own mobile home and a case of beer...
  7. a cgc 9.8 on a FRIDAY, is a 9.6 on a MONDAY..... just sayin
  8. DREADED GREEN LABEL PURPLE LABEL OF DEATH
  9. no photos, I was just wondering. It seem like if there is anything wrong with a corner, even the slightest bit, it automatically knocks you down to a 9.4, 9.2. range. I was wondering what they consider a top staple separated from the cover. Does that automatically kick you down to a 7 or 6 even?
  10. How much does a top staple detached from the cover lower the grade of a book?
  11. just looking for opinions. You want your kissed for a response? get a life. don't respond, i don't gaf. 10418 posts, looks like you just sit around foaming at the mouth to respond to a post anyway
  12. SO I PICKED UP A NICE WORLDS FINEST 156. WHEN I OPENED IT UP, SOME KID ( WHO IS PROBABLY NOW OLD OR DEAD) DECIDED TO WRITE HIS NAME AND ADDRESS ON A FORM AND THROW IN A FEW EXTRA BEARDS AND MUSTACHES. WONDERING HOW BAD THIS DINGS THE GRADE, DUDES.
  13. I was wondering what you all thought was more rare, a mark jeweler or a Canadian price variant. Also which do you think is more sought after or seems to be more valuable price wise.
  14. THATS NOTHING, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT HE DID TO MAY AMAZING FANTASY 15!
  15. JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IMPERFECTONS ARE THE WORST. I KNOW BENT CORNERS TAKE A GRADE DOWN FAST. SMALL NON COLOR BREAKING SPINE TICKS DONT SEEM TO BE SO BAD.
  16. ITS ALL BEEN SORTED. JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH A WATERSTAIN TAKES OFF. LOOKING FOR A PIC, DONT THINK I HAVE ONE, NOW THE BOOK IS SLABBED.
  17. IF I SENT THAT IN TO BE GRADED, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A 9.2 9.4. HOWEVER SOME BOOKS DO SLIP THROUGH AT A 9.6 9.8, I OWN SOME. I HAVE SOME 9,8S THAT SHOW NO VISIBLE FLAWS WITH A FLASHLIGHT SHINED ACROSS THE FRONT AND BACK IN THE DARK. I ALSO HAVE SOME 98S WITH MULTIPLE NON COLOR BREAKING TICKS IN THE SPINE. IT IS WHAT IT IS I GUESS. THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS DOING THE GRADING, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THE AVERAGE OF 3 GRADES. SOMETIMES THINGS SLIP BY DUE TO HUMAN ERROR. HOWEVER, I THINK CGC HAS THE MOST CONSISTENT GRADING. AT THE END OF THE DAY, A SEALED CGC 9.8 IS A SEALED 9.8. I'D TAKE IT.
  18. I HAD A GUY PRESS A SWAMP THING 1. HE PUT IT IN A HUMIDOR AND THE CONDENSATION DRIPPED ON THE BOOK. IT LEFT A WATER STAIN ON THE INSIDE FRONT COVER AT THE TOP. IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF 2 QUARTERS SIDE BY SIDE. I HAD IT GRADED AND IT CAME BACK A 6.5. GRADING NOTES MENTIONED THE STAIN. I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY POINTS IT LOST BECAUSE OF THE STAIN. IT ALSO NOTED A SMALL TEAR ON THE BACK COVER AND A SMALL CREASE
  19. has anyone ever had a book damage while being graded and come back with a low grade? If so is there any recourse for this?
  20. Mercury Man, you cannot have a complete Batman collection without a copy of the issue where Alfred's last name is changed! The mere thought of such a thing! OH the HORROR!
  21. cpt kirk, you are the man! thanks for the info. i knew i wasn't crazy.
