I recently sent a batch of Lorcana cards and they all came back about expected (mix of 9 / 10's except for one (Rapunzel). I can't seem to figure out why since the grade is significantly lower than I had expected for a card that came straight out of a pack similar to the rest of the batch. Any insights on this?

This finally arrived after a year of waiting (submitted this to CGC last August).

Has anyone heard any updates on if this is happening anytime soon? I know I sent my book into CGC a little over a year ago and just haven't heard what's happening with this. Was curious if this private signing got rescheduled to anytime soon.

Finally got these back from CGC. Thanks to @Rich_Henn for facilitating.

8.5 with Frank Miller and Charlie Cox signatures

I just got a comic back today and one of them seems to have a piece of plastic (not 100% sure) that overlays the back of the comic a tiny bit on the right side. Has anyone ever seen something like this before and should I be concerned it could damage the comic?

Does anyone know of any good resources to value Marvel cards? I found some old Marvel Metal and Flairs that I collected back in the day and can't find a good source of pricing for estimated value for submissions.

Got this back in the mail today. Would have preferred a higher grade but at least it retained it's original grade with the additional signature

Just curious if anyone else has had theirs graded yet? My book still is stuck on received by CCS which seems strange

So yes - depending on how you deploy it. For example the copies I put on my opensea account were "lazy minted" which means no gas is needed until I either list or accept an offer on the NFT. Then it will get minted and I would likely have to pay a gas fee at the time. However opensea does allow minting on Polygon which is substantially cheaper (or free) I believe.

So I think if I had used a standard cover off the internet you would likely need to get permission. Since the image I used is an actual picture of the physical copy I own, I don't believe so as it is unique

Essentially record ownership on a public ledger. In theory a use case could be to transfer ownership of said comic digitally. Let's say there is a service that "vaults" a comic and issues a token representing the comic. Then the holder could trade it virtually with the token having an option to redeem the physical comic from the vault.

Over the course of the past few years I've gotten interested in the cryptocurrency space. Over the past week I got inspired (no idea why) and decided to see what happened if I combined crypto with my personal comic collection. What resulted was a NFT (Non-Fungible Token) of the copy of Werewolf by Night 32 that @Rich_Hennassisted with in getting signed. Thought I would share since I'm curious if anyone had any feedback or thoughts on how I can make it look better. Here is a link to the NFT. Once I figure out how to potentially build some automation I may try to digitize my entire graded comic collection as NFT's just for fun. A few items of note: 1) I am not a developer (amateur coder at best) 2) I am definitely not an artist (this was a best effort of what I thought might look cool) 3) Getting a good image of the cover is ridiculously difficult

Here are my 2 most recently received

Finally got this back. Props to @Rich_Hennfor facilitating.
