Avengers 8 is such a goofy cover 

Am I the only one that sees a villain standing behind a wall of those candy buttons on paper whenever I see the book

give me ish #23 any day

Didn't you already make this thread?

maybe he/she is making a thread for every one of Kang's different personas

I am no expert but I will say this

the 67 looks a bit off 

what I have seen of JRS's signatures is he is pretty darn great at placement of said signature .... unless that specific area of 67 was taped off I just don't see him signing over the Spider-Man logo 

again, things may have changed with age/health but that's my .02

oh and I don't think you need to be concerned as I believe Sr is just listed as John Romita on yellow labels while JRJR is listed as Jr .... I guess it would be good if both were more clearly distinguished

How much is a TWD #1 in 3.0 worth to you? That determines the tier.

I may have a TWD #1 3.0 that I consider priceless because it was given to me by a loved one ..... that doesn't make a TWD #1 3.0 a priceless book for insurance purposes

I think you may need to review their policy as it isn't how much it is worth to you but what the overall market declares the worth to be 

https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/declared-value-policy/

The declared value must represent the FMV of a genuine collectible of that same issue and variety in the same approximate condition.

Sometimes I think getting new releases graded as soon as they come out isn’t really worth it. 

and that is why you don't run CGC or any other business where you have people willing to give you money for your services that you would so easily decline

It's easy. If the Mail or CGC ruins your book, how much do you want to receive in compensation? That's your value.

https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/declared-value-policy/

is it though? .....  if I have a TWD issue #1 that I believe is a 3.0 am I really going to pay $75 to submit under the Standard tier which has a max value of $1000 per item instead of the Modern tier for $22 with a max value of $400?

I agree with that. There’s no need to get unnecessary books graded. 

sounds so simple .... would love to see who would get to be the arbiter of that 

I'm no pro at this but I believe when you are asking about Max Value you are looking at the CGC Services & Fees listings

since TWD issue 1 is not pre 1975 you can eliminate the Economy tier 

Modern has a max value per item of $400

Standard has a max value per item of $1000

Express has a max value per item of $3000

this I believe is where you have to do some legwork and determine what you think the grade of your book might be and based on the current value of that book in such grade what tier it would best fit under

you can use the Hey Buddy Can You Spare A Grade section of the board to get some feedback as to what others might think your book would grade at (pictures will be key, front/back covers and interiors) 

https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/

and from there you can use tools like ebay completed sales (amongst others) to see where your book may be valued if you are unsure 

you will also be asked for declared value when you actually get to filling out the submission form - this would again be what you value the book to be at for insurance purposes in case something were to happen to the book and a claim needed to be filed

ps. slabbed is the typical term used as opposed to cased

An update.

 

My LCS owner has been communicating with CGC.

CGC said they DO NOT accept damaged boxes; they send them back to sender.  So the box was not, at least noticeably, damaged on the trip to CGC.  This lends weight to the comics being damaged AT CGC.

Before anything however, they said they first need to investigate it.

 

actually it lends no additional weight to that theory

a package can arrive at CGC showing no signs of exterior damage .... that doesn't mean the interior contents were packaged properly to prevent shifting and damage during transit or arrival at their destination

surprised I'm the first to post, though considering how difficult it is to post without an error code, maybe not so surprised

My biggest problem going into it is how stupid Taskmaster looks ....... Taskmaster should look bad with the skull face instead they gave us a hybrid motorcycle helmet Stark armor garbage. 

blame China for this 

sounds like the OP may possibly be referring to a prescreen

if so, see Grade PreScreen at the following  https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc-grading/?view=comics

someone more knowledgeable with submitting may be able to help you if needed

I think a returns policy need to be stated, not sure what else 

GLWTS

no but I felt uncomfortable putting BS on the box I sent, especially next to the "Fragile" markings

Is it just me, or are the Boards acting glitchy right now?

not just you

so quickly post that book that I want before anyone else can get it

wonder why this one doesn't say "1st appearance of Ravonna Renslayer" on the slab?

 if you pull up the cert # of this book it is listed under key comments .... would it still say that if it was only recognized as such after the 2017 grading date?

probably going to get a better response here >>>>

I imagine Avengers #23 is gonna see a bit of a hike with Ravonna Renslayer showing up in Loki on Disney+ and even more so if she makes it to Ant Man 3. I haven't tracked the price, too many books to keep track of, so I'm not sure how far it's gone as of now. 

great cover and JRS first work for Marvel

thanks for sharing
