"I hope it continues on, but the community as a whole can only take so much shellacking before the passion is diluted." wise words from the good Doctor.

This is how I feel also...

Grades in....

I haven't forgotten, I'm using this information currently as I'm going through the alleged perps of the employee deception.

Didn't think you forgot...verifying you were on it. I have the complete pin-up list if you happen to need it.

As I'm slowly going through the mined data for the eBay accounts alleged to be connected to the employees lawsuit, I notice something.

We now have a note that states the following:

If the information displayed above is incorrect or does not match the collectible you are verifying, or if you believe that you have a counterfeit or tampered CGC holder, please contact Submissions@CGCcomics.com. To learn more about counterfeit or tampered CGC holders, click here.

This notation appears below the photos of the book under CGC Cert #: 4355451009

Now, take a moment to look at the cert screenshot below. Look at the notes. Then look at the book.

Seller: omni_collector Cert: 4355451009 [01/07/2024] - $575

And as I stated WAY back a few times...the pin-up books also need to be .  ASM 20 is one of the most out there missing pin-ups.  FF 2,3,4 and ASM 3 all have pin-ups also...along with many more ..not cheap books.

Funny all my grades were the "Most" chosen except the LL which I nailed. I graded up and paid the price=7 pts.

I think I'm just going to speed round the last one..

Levity time

I don't know if I ever shopped at Joe's Comics in Manassas, I moved to the area in 1985 (Seven Corners in Falls Church) or 1986 (Woodbridge). If that's the same place that was on Burke Centre Parkway in the late 80s and 90s, I used to stop there on occasion when I took back roads home.

As for Marie's (assume that's what you mean when you said "Maria") in Fredericksburg, I didn't get down that way very often, so I think I only shopped there a couple times. It was an interesting place, the prototypical "hole in the wall" (when I lived in Seven Corners I got my comics from the literal Hole In The Wall Books in Falls Church, that apparently closed a few years back) comic store, with stuff piled all over the place.

 

Funny I grew up Near Seven Corners (Sleepy Hollow area) as a youngin' I had to get my back issues at a Mason Used Book Store under the Surf Shop in Fairfax City and  Serendipity Books in Oakton. I do remember the Hole in the Wall

7.5 give or take. Photos are relatively small & cropped close. Hard to be completely certain.

So does CGC not have cameras that cover the entire "secured facility"?

Grades In...Has to be better than the last...right?...Right?

I thought so too. I think he just needs to work on the contrast since the guns get kind of lost in the costume. I was pretty impressed though because he's improved quite a bit

It's nice work

Have finally filmed video looking at FOOM and WAM fan kits. My hope is that potential collectors wanting to put a kit together now or in future find it of help;

 

 

I fortunately have 2 complete kits..one NOS as they sent me another (as a young kid) about 5 months after I got the initial one. Only 1 set of mags except the one that was in the new kit.

I'll venture 2.5 - 3.0 ETA Nick says 4.0 for completely detached as starting point...JMHO

5.0 ish

My precision grades are in...

Comicwhiz has done incredible work. Bravo. I am still perplexed about the graders notes on the 9.8's

,,,and still wondering about high end pin-up issues...

Yes, and No
