    Just another comic book movie to wait until it streams for free

    I am not sure how much the signature hit on the grade Here are the grader's notes dents front covercreasing to covermoderate finger bends on coverspine stress lines to cover the creasing to cover will be a major hit and with the dents to the cover I could see it being a 7.0 no matter the sig or not

    yeah, it's ten dollars a month..but worth every penny

    The market 'reset' as they say...I have noticed some leveling out and some small rebounds on lesser keys ...the major keys exploded during the pandemic, so they have a harder fall..but they seem to be leveling off. I saw a ASM 1 (CGC 2.0) auction off at 7400 the other day on Comic Link...down 30- 40 % from peak.,,but at the level it should reasonably be, given normal growth A good observation tool is to look at the GPA graphs and draw a curve/line from prepandemic to now..you will still find an increase that seems to fit 3 years of growth, based on trendlines previous to pandemic If you bought a major key during the pandemic ...you will have to wait awhile to get your investment back

    Do you want them to be graded by CGC? if so, then you will want to submit them for pressing/cleaning AND grading. If you submit them ONLY for cleaning/pressing..CGC will not assume you also want grading, and yes, they will return them back to you.

    when they say put them in order , they are referring to orders with lots of books..like for prescreens (25 minimum) or people who send a lot more books than just 3..some people send 100's of books at a time

    This company is so screwed up with updating their changes. Had to go thru 3 phone calls to get them to charge the correct credit card. Then, after email exchanges and updating address changes on my return addresses (on website) they still cant get it right, they still deliver to an old address. Oh BTW, I actually had someone in accounting tell me their system is outdated and insufficient..so they are very much aware of their problems....maybe I should say they are too cheap (man, I wish I could use cuss words)

    only one way to find out

    Yes, FF 48 and 49 are still issues that command a great deal of attention..great covers too. I don't think the response to my post was necessarily about these prime keys..but more about newer comics, variants and the like..such as Negan Lives or some of the Gwenom v Carnage variants. Everything went crazy during the pandemic and that was probably moreso to do with money burning holes in peoples pockets because they weren't traveling or they were just bored, although I am sure speculation was there too. I went on a X-men run during the pandemic (I was bored) only to realize I just don't like X-men covers (except 101) and sold them back for a loss to buy better ASM Romita copies

    I hear ya

    Fantastic Four 48 and 49 are taking a huge hit..I was gonna sell mine but may wait awhile...poor Galactus..gets no respect
  12. Ed Hanes
    yes

    SO, there was a mixup in delivery and my order was returned to CGC..that was 9 days ago ..received by 'Dan at the front desk' on October 4th (according to UPS)..but customer service has no record of it. Has anyone else dealt with this?

    Facebook and Twitter could be deemed a public square..I have a really hard time seeing how a payment service like paypal would be deemed a public square
  15. Ed Hanes
    I was being sarcastic Anyway, welcome to the club of people who feel CGC has a QC problem ..it's a big club
  16. Ed Hanes
    If a CGC grader chimed in every time there was an issue with a slab...they wouldn't have time to do their job grading
  17. Ed Hanes
    That's how I felt about Walking Dead..and it's not over yet

    I was neutral at first with the show but it grew on me...found myself laughing more with each episode. This last episode worked really well. Now I am interested in Tatiana's previous work, especially Orphan Black
  19. Ed Hanes
    naturally
  20. Ed Hanes
    at least I get invited to parties
  21. Ed Hanes
    Well, that seems the only real recourse we have..since anecdotal information has been played out ...glad you mentioned it
  22. Ed Hanes
    I don't understand how posting two youtube reviews is representation of anything besides the opinion of two individuals
  23. Ed Hanes
    oh wow..you can't even recall our conversation correctly...I am done ..you're insane
  24. Ed Hanes
    Of course you think you were clear..and you are dripping with defensiveness..anyway, I am not sure why you singled me out in the first place. I just made a general statement, did not focus on anyone in particular, But I guess maybe you felt like you needed a 'win'.

    who is "they' and 'them' and 'they' ?
