    My disagreement with this is predicated upon being able to grade to CGC's standards.  I would rather find 9.8 books with astronomical deltas between 9.4 and 9.8. I have found many of those in $1 bins over the years.  I've been out of comics since 2016, but I still get the urge to dig through longboxes for high grade scores. I would have a huge problem with today's lag time between submission and receipt of slabs. We used to complain about 10 weeks for fast track back in the day . . .:preach:

    It’s also about satisfaction and fulfillment. I’m not interested in Alpha Flight 1 or Spawn 1s or anything abundant and commonly overprinted from the 80s or 90s.. it’s gotta be rarer even if Alpha Flight 1 sells for a lot in 9.8 which it does to your point

    Are you guys ready to barf out of jealousy?  I paid $700 for this bunch plus some others.  My heart skipped a beat seeing one IH 181, but two?  Plus 180?!?   Holy smokes!4A1C3BCF-66D2-456A-82F6-43AE3988DA91.thumb.jpeg.3753208338c066477ee46723b19c1f9f.jpeg

    Oh, and they both have the MVS in case there were doubts.  

    Congrats what’s the story? A true DC collector letting go of his worthless Marvels

  3. While everyone is digging thru new $1 boxes I’ll typically take a look at the newly priced books/key boxes first. (The stuff that hasn’t hit the wall due to space). $1 books are plentiful and take too much time. I circle back to those last. You can find a $30-100 book in the $1 bins but an underpriced $200-300 book in the key boxes for probably 10-20x the cost of a dollar comic. Yes, I’d rather pay $20 for a $200 comic than $1 for a $80-100 comic. Bigger profit

    I haven't received that yet :( 

    and I just bought something this morning too, for a sizeable amount. I wonder if they do end up sending me that, if they'll retro fit it, provided it does come today?

    What do you think? And if I have to contact them, how will I? through their help menu? or is there still a phone number?

    I would try and call them through the help menu.. ask for a coupon credit

    Yes, that's the store.   I was surprised to see two stores so close to one another.  

     

    Hopefully he'll be back soon.  I was there over the weekend and the guy opening the store was about 40 minutes late.  I didn't know if it was a worker or a new owner.  I got even more confused when I saw some of Elliot's old customers/helpers working at the other place. 

    Well Speros as u know was forced to move and doesn’t supply new Wednesday comics so it’s not surprising. There’s about 5 shops in Burbank on the same block area

    Does anyone know if Speros Heroes in Chatsworth is still owned/run by Elliot?  There is another comic store about a half a block away, and I saw on their website a picture of several guys that used to work at Speros Heroes wearing the competitions' t-shirt.  

    We Can Be Heroes? That’s a diff shop owned by 5 diff partners. Spero’s Heroes = Elliot (aka sweetest guy in comics)

    The Young Avengers set I got ended up being pretty nice. VF/NM or better. Another interesting thing (to me at least), was they must’ve had a subscription through Marvel as most had these for backing boards. The opposite side has the persons mailing address so I didn’t include a pic of the opposite side.
