Run for your lives, new members. Run for your lives...

Foam rubber, t-shirts, or store the books flat until you have enough to fill the box.

I would love to have one of those zappers Coulson used to blow up Garrett.

Two Wongs can't make a Wright.

Isn't Graviton still inside that ball of silver goo they toted out of the basement of the Fridge?

Yep. He's on his way out and the black dude is his replacement muscle.

I would trade two or three for some magic beans. I would trade you for non-magic beans You'd be getting your monies worth.

There are books that are definitive 9.6 and 9.8. The problem is that there is no 9.7 grade. I have seen thousands of books that "in my mind" I call a 9.7 and decide if I should give it a 9.6 or 9.8 depending on certain factors, one factor being "Will this book look like a 9.6 or a 9.8 in a holder". You also can't have a 9.1, 9.3, 9.5 or 9.7 grade in the scale, as it would make it even more difficult to be a consistent grader. PQ can change depending on the lighting. I had more trouble with PQ at onsite grading than I did sitting at my grading desk in an office. Luckily there was a 6.5 grade that the JiM # 83 should've maybe ended up at? Not trying to be an arse though, Steve. Just the first thing that popped into my head. Did anyone request grader's notes on the book or has that already been covered? Who wants to pay for something that should be free? Two words: bottled water. Tap water isn't free. Were I live we have wells. So, we drink our water only once.

Not even close to enough people for the volume they do. They need to get their act together and stop being a mom&pop shop with everything they do. They have more than enough income to do much much better. No excuses. Which one of those is you? My solve involvement with CGC is working for the Signature Series program at various shows throughout the year. They don't pay you to defend them on the interweb? If not....they should. Don't pick on him too much. He's entitled to his opinion even if it's wrong.

A stable market controlled by book junkies with OCD?!?

If the graders the CGC leave behind when they go to shows can't accurately grade a book on a walkthrough, then perhaps they shouldn't accept a book for walkthrough service until the "knowledgeable" graders get home. Is that what you're saying?

The Grader's Notes are $15, so it was a walk through: Introductory Fees for CGC Grader Notes: Comics Submitted Under (Tier)... Dealer & Elite Fee.... Regular Fee Economy, Value and Modern...... $4 ............................$5 Standard and Express............... $8 .................... $10 Walkthrough.............................. $12 .................. $15

You answered your own question.

The purple label 7.0 was graded before the blue label 6.0. Plus, why would anyone want to go to the expense for a setup? There's really nothing to be gained other than bad press and the CGC certainly doesn't need anyone's help in that regard.

Zip it.

May knows.

The guy was, in fact, blue.

I hope not. If it is, they cut off his fin.

The guy is blue and a lot larger in size when you look at him and Coulson together.

That.

Some people are only happy when it rains.
