  1. Wait you won a 2nd time? I call shenanigans! P.S. Super congrats to everyone that won and all the players. We really are all winners. @electricprune You are really a class act, taking your hard earned win and sharing with the community. Thanks again for the contest and the chance to compete.
  2. If they snoozed they loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosed! Hope the Mrs. is better and thanks for the fun time again Prune.
  3. Yay you did it @Bkd Reader! Reminder ya'll got until 1pm to get your contest entry in! Just TWO HOURS (not the same as the $2 Lane owed the paperboy) to go......
  4. That is the one. When the store was being redone the crew came in and took down the 3 or 4 that were up and they were just gunna trash them. I yoinked it quite quickly. (this on isn't mine I am took lazy to get it out to snap a picture)
  5. I have the Apple Banner from when I worked retail many moons ago of Jim Henson with Kermit. This is a cool sub idea.
  6. Let's not forget this Friday the 13th with @bigclutch!
  7. This is not about the 1:50 but the virgin 3rd print that was his store exclusive. Have heard of the torpedo and an unknown exclusive in the mix. I am looking for the shattered GotG and the 2nd print ASM (just want a 2nd one). No luck so far.
  8. That is very common with 1st appearances. CGC takes time to get out the info before putting it on the label. Robin King was a couple months, as an example.
  9. Not sure which packs but there are reports of 1:1000 Hulk and Thor, neither of these are my finds.
  10. New Walmart 3 packs are starting to filter out. Rumor is the gem is ASM 55 2nd Print 1:50 can be found in some. The white cover with the faint webbing lines is the giveaway that it is the middle book. I have not seen one yet but just reporting what I have heard. Pic for reference -
  11. Agree with @kav Sounds like the owner is looking out for only his best interest. I would def reveal who these are so people know not to deal with either the presser or the LCS.
  12. My gut was 8.0-8.5, in the low 9s with a C&P. Pretty book!
  13. I called and was told that mine was graded on 7/20 and then sat waiting on encapsulation until yesterday. When I asked about the TAT estimate they only quoted the current 150+ day TATs not the old Value TATs and that it “could take until Nov”
  14. My last 2 - Modern - Non-Fast Track - 3 books 4/27 - Received 4/27 - Scheduled for grading 7/1 - Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging 7/8 - Grading/Quality Control 7/9 - Finalized / Shipped When it was "received" it went into the system immediately on my end as SFG, the TAT was 55 business days. That put this finishing around 7/15, so this was ahead of schedule. Value - Non-Fast Track - 1 book 4/27 - Received 4/27 - Scheduled for grading 7/20 - Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging 8/2 - Grading/Quality Control 8/3 - Finalized / Shipped When it was "received" it went into the system immediately on my end as SFG, the TAT was 75 business day and expected it have around 8/12. So this is going to be close to that, but my calculation does not include shipping back so it is still ahead.
  15. I am agreeing there. Back in my MTG (Magic the Gathering) days I made decks specifically revolving around a tiger character named Jedit Ojanen for that same reason.
  16. ....on straws when they drink out of a sippy cup?
  17. Yeah this is no where near the worst out there for wrapping or cut for IM55. It is from an era of just notoriously bad manufacturing. Here is my before pressing and after grading.
