I can't seem to find any pages of his recent stuff (so past 10 years) online anywhere for sale. Does anyone know if he actually sells his art online? Or is it just at shows he attends?

Yes, Yanick no longer has any original art to sell, he's been fully digital for almost a decade now. Hence why he has no original art rep.

Plenty of banks offer funds where you can have 50$ systematic investments. So I dont get the point of you arguing against that.

I dont think saving 50$ a month can get you an AF15 anytime soon. But it can go into a mutual fund. So yeah, on that aspect you cant do the same with both.

Not sure about the small increments aspect

Yeah, I realized that later. I edited my comment.

It just means the book is worth something if new. You can price it however you want.

For silver age, get as high a grade for Fantastic Four 5 as you can.

Sure, Golden age keys is the right way of thinking if your looking at 10-15 years. anything else could go haywire, even keys. The issue is that many don't have the money to buy Golden Age keys. But yeah, if you can spend it, go ahead. Here are a few to look into that aren't over 100 grand yet Marvel Family 1 (you should buy this one ASAP) Whiz Comics 25 Captain marvel Adventures 18 Batman 1 Detective Comics 73 Detective Comics 62 Detective Comics 66 Detective Comics 68 Detective Comics 122 Detective Comics 140 Action Comics 23 Sensation Comics 1 More Fun Comics 73 Marvel Comics 1 Marvel Mystery Comics 4

I log in every day to see what I got. The suspense kills me.

If it's a book you really love and you can already afford 9.6, then just go for 9 8 instead.

Press it first, but yeah it could be worth it to send in with other books. without press could be 9.0. With press, you could get 9.2, 9.4 or better, never know.

the funny thing is what I wrote above was inspired by what you wrote on another forum regading polybag creases

Yes, that's what I thought. They usually disclose colour breaks. @xvipah I am assuming you did not press this book right? If that's the case and you want a higher grade, then since your grader notes do not mention colour breaks, it seems that resubmitting the book for a press and regrade would be worthwhile. You have good odds of getting a higher grade.vipah Also, polybag creases do press out.

I thought it was the opposite, that a crease didn't mean colour break. What would a non colour breaking crease be called?

Pressing is quicker with their Sig Series events. Mine have been around 34 business days, everything included (after the signing has taken place of course).

Wait, you sent this in the poly bag?!

They both grade similarly. There is none that grades stricter all the time. And remember CBCS was created by someone from CGC. So it's very close to being the same standards. CGC has been around longer, that's the main difference in terms of notoriety.

There is no grade guarantee. I wouldn't worry about what happens in 100 years though.

I already answered all your questions in my previous reply. It's pretty straightforward: if you send a signed book to cgc that they did not witness, there will be green on your label. Any certificate of authenticity will be thrown in the garbage by cgc.

they won't give a grade to a sketch, period (regardless if witnessed). they don't grade art. See below: no score

that's not comic art, that's an actual comic. And yes, they will grade it.

Why would I be out of money?

Wont matter, the sig that gcg witnessed will count but the original sig by campbell will still be seen as writing on the cover. So you'll get a partly green label regardless. Basically, rule of thumb is if you are thinking of CGC, then stay away from comics that are already signed.

Oh I forgot, my favourite cover from the 80s And since we are talking of the X-men, here's 2 others.
