If Superman is alive at the end I'd say he won

I don't get it.... sounds like they wanted Rosie O'Donnell wrapped in an American Flag... There are two ways to make yourself better and higher in standing than someone. 1) Work Hard to better yourself 2) Take the easy way and tear the other person down. Guess which way most take?

It looks this way way to me The Superman Image is heavy on Blue Wonder Woman is heavy on red Batman is heavy on white American colours

Peace, Chip I'm thinking the cheaply lifted images of bats and supes from the Dark Knight Returns is a dead giveaway it's fanmade. Looks like Luthor From Smallville.

I added both to my list

One day a competitor will arise who who take business from them and TAT will improve. Mostly due to less books coming in

Do you have a link or something about them running the promo? I have all the stuff added in my cart and doesn't mention the 30% Hmm...wen't to amazon.com and bestbuy.com and I don't see it. It might be Canada only. I went to amazon.ca and I see that special right now Same as bestbuy.ca

Love it!! I was checking its status at work when I saw the popup notification that I had been outbid. I immediately bid the minimum I could above the last bid and won it a while later. The previosu bidder probably got the bid confirmation email and the outbid email at same time and just ignored it thinking it was a mistake... Wonder what it would take to Get Allan Moore on it

Picking this up Tomorrow

Plus she has the Hunger game franchise.

Maybe he found somone who wanted to get rid of lots of comics and didn't care about price. I has a garage sale this past weekend and sold quite a few comics at low low prices. "Low, low prices?" Sounds like a sketchy Kijiji ad That's were I posted it and on signs in neighborhood.

I picked these up at an estate sale two weeks ago. Just got them photo'd today. These were the left overs after someone scooped the main lot. Good chance at 9.6 here

The Wake is HOT, now it's not HOT now it's HOT Yep. It's about like the weather here. If you don't like it, wait a few minutes and it will change. Not sure where you live, but the weather has been terrible for five months here...it was snowing again today....I guess this is my life now, winter. Sounds like Ottawa. Sounds boring

And I thought I did good getting $90 for mine 3 days ago. I sold my SS Versions a while back..... At least I have another set in Raw

I think that SHIELD will still exist -- it will need to be re-organized and the rest of the HYDRA infestation exterminted! Wasn't that a story in the comics?

pm me details

Spider-dan I'll ask for the forth time. Did CGC Miss the -- Plitch You want answers? Spider-dan I think I'm entitled to them. Plitch You want answers?! Spider-dan I want the truth. Plitch You can't handle the truth! (continuing) Son, we live in a world that has comics. And those comics have to be graded by men with skills. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Ares? I have a greater responsibility than You can possibly fathom. You weep for Jim 83 and you curse our skills. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That making rare errors, while tragic, probably saved the book from PGX. And a mistake, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saved a collection. (beat) You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at conventions and forum, you want us there at CGC. You need us there. (boasting) We use words like Trim, color Touch, Restoration... we use these words as the backbone to a life spent grading books. You use 'em as a punchline. (beat) I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very grading I provide, then questions the manner in which we provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a UV light & grade a book. Either way, don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to. Spider-dan Did CGC make a mistake on the trim? Plitch (beat) We did the job we were hired to do. Spider-dan Did CGC make a mistake on the trim? Plitch You're right we did. Silence. From everyone. Ares, comicWiz, the Peanut Gallery they're all frozen. CGCmod0 and AlexH are likewise. Spider-Dan seems strangely, Quietly relieved. Ares simply takes control of the room now. Ares Please the court, I suggest the Kangaroo Court be dismissed so that we can move to an immediate Article 39a Session. CGC has rights

If i remember correctly, PSA/DNA has invisible ink. CGC could use that to barcode a book. THEY BETTER NOT. I don't want them adding chemicals to a book I won. If I take it out and keep it raw why should they keep their mark on it If they were to use invisible UV ink to "tattoo" the book in an inconspicuous area inside the book what difference would it make to you? Just means that if someone were to resubmit the book for grading it would come up in the CGC system as a book that had already been graded. At least the customer could be notified that the book had previously been graded. I'm sure there are other logical advantages that could come of this! That the book was previously means squat. The person breaks it out for SS or mishandles it. IT results in new grade. The tattoo will accomplish nothing except add chemicals to a book that is sensitive to chemicals So tell me why someone would break it out of a holder, mis-handle it and then submit it to expect a higher grade?????????? But sometimes people bust books out for other reasons.years ago I broke out my ST 110 because I wanted to read it,smell it ect...Since then I have upgraded,this time with a raw book.with the prices going nuts I may one day(shudder) trade my old copy for something.said person who gets this book(with the old label label saved for them) may very well re submit...I take great care of my comics,but cannot guarantee it was not damaged at all....the tattooing idea leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. It's not like an ink-like tattoo. I just used the terminology to give you the idea that if the books were "tagged" that at least there would be some way of knowing the history of the book. And I'm not saying that the only reason someone breaks open a slabbed book is to resubmit it hoping to get a higher grade but let's not fool ourselves, is that not what ultimately happened here? If the book had been "inconspicuously tagged" and if the book would have been resubmitted to CGC, they would have scanned the "inconspicuous tag printed with invisible ink somewhere on the interior page(s)" and then they would have informed the graders that it had already been graded previously. I'm sure that they would pull the notes from the previous grade and make a comparison to current condition and then decide from there how it would be handled. The way it is right now someone de-slabs a book and resubmits it hoping for a higher grade because who knows what kind of night the grader had? Fingers crossed it comes back with a higher grade and then you have two books in the census - one of which no longer exists? How often does this happen? How many non-existent resubmitted upgraded books are there? If any of you reading this have participated in the PGM thread or the March/April/May Madness thread, how many of you have tried to grade the same book more than once (and not five or ten minutes a part) I mean like a week later or two? Did you come up with the same grade? Most likely not unless the book is in the very lower or very upper grading tiers. Going this route treats the customer like a criminal and exposes the fact that CGC cannot catch all restoration despite their claims. I don't want CGC chemically treating my books just to make their life easier. And I suppose this route that we are in right now is making everyone's lives "easy"? Not my problem they cant catch the resto but they better not chemically change/alter my property just to make their Job easier.

They might resub after SS They might break it open to read for their own collection and decide to reesub knowing it will get a lower grade. Is CGC supposed to re-Tattoo a book each time it comes in? +1 Tattooing a book is pointless. Especially if you are a SS freak and keep breaking it out to have more names put on. I once had a book I crack Multiple times and Had 9 sigs on it The book would only be tagged with invisible ink once. Then cgc could document its history linked to that serial number. Would actually be able to track the provenance. A Little water and the key could be reased And I suppose the water would help to increase the grade and value of the book? Dab some water on a Qtip and use that to smudge the code. Or get the book pressed. The process will affect the chemicals in the UV. Either way the code will never work. To many ways around it

Good point. Superman could pick up Thor's hammer-and snap it. And bend Cap's shield into a taco. Then stuff the Hulk into it. We gotta judge these 2 dudes by who they fight...... Superman cant pick up Thors Hammer

Whose fault is that? If didnt have enough manpower on sight then thats a screwup on their part. The owner of the book is under no legal obligation to send the book back to help CGC cover up their mistake.. CGC has to survive the brunt of this on their own.
