  1. We need to develop some kind of an "Amber Alert" for at risk comics... It should be the "Swap Alert" and all CGC customers get a text to alert them the moment CGC receives a reholder or ME so all the amateur detectives can make sure it's legit. It takes a village, after all.
  2. Some 9.8s from this batch ...all from the Modern side of course: Crack and press from a 9.6: Raw:
  3. Grading on the Vintage side of my submission was MUCH harder than the Modern side. I can't help but wonder if the Vintage grader had just been told his wife was leaving him right before his shift and that the grader who evaluated the Modern submission just got engaged. Both batches were from the same collection and graded similarly by me. The starkest difference was in page quality. Most of the Vintage came out OW/W, some even OW, while the Modern batch ALL came out with white pages. A Vintage example of a book I graded 8.5: A Modern example of a book I graded 8.5: Not complaining of course, but I just wish I had the happy grader on the Vintage side...
  4. I'm gonna cut up my Action #1 page and sell bits of it at a time. Bet I'd get more than if I sold it intact!
  5. It's funny, I just realized I come here because comics are my life and end up derailing every thread I get on talking about everything but comics. I'll stop now, don't want the "moderator" to call me on this.
  6. One of the best spoof movies ever! But you do actually have to see Lethal Weapon to get a lot of the jokes. "I'm just taking one of those unmotivated butt in the moonbeam walks."
  7. This reminds of the scene in Lethal Weapon 2 when Leo Getz is explaining how he was scamming drug dealers dealing with billions of dollars. "I was scamming those guys for months! Millions of dollar transactions, all in small bills. Who's gonna miss 10,000 here, 20,000 there?" "Drug dealers" "That's right. They did."
  8. I don't know what you're talking about. I have been assured by the government that all of my money is represented in gold in the Federal Treasury. If I wanted to, I could just go pick up my gold at any time!
  9. They could put those little white stickers with metal in them that Walmart puts on high theft items. You know the ones that if you try to take them off stab your finger? That way alarms will go off back at CGC if you try to open the case at home and leave you running to the bathroom for a Band-Aid while your house is raided by 20 guys from Virginia! (Probably cost-prohibitive, however...)
  10. Me too. Mine was received 12/1 and not moving for a couple of weeks, but when they did finally start moving, they moved pretty quickly.
