I knew that but what you picked was a Freudian slip maybe? I'll subscribe to the channel as I both love cartoons and comics, well done on your beginning videos Justin.

Sweet! And thank you so much for subscribing! It does mean a lot. Once I hit 1000 subscribers I get to make a custom URL

Hey Justin, I think you did a comprehensive job with the Donald Duck video. You got your point across clearly and the viewers could fully understand what was happening. Great editing and inserted clips too. I also liked the artistry touch at the end with the brush and characters. Very nice. 

Awesome! Thank you for the great feedback!

the 3,000,000th post should say “last post” 

2,999,372!

2,999,330

I wonder if there is a way to determine who makes the 3,000,000th post?

As of right now there is 2,999,283 posts in the Comics General forum. I feel a celebration is in store once it hits 3,000,000! 🎈 🎉 🎊

 I just realised you're afraid of what Disney thinks and you just made a video on Donald Duck as a Nazi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see that . But it's not so much I'm afraid, but being cautious. My Donald Duck video is fair use but not sure if using Quicksilver the way NoMan suggested would fly. I'd hate to have a content strike just starting out.

Got any Caps?

Sorry, just sold my last Cap. It was a single page from Captain America Comics 1

I wish you well, I wish I was as brave! I would imagine that you can't please all the people all the time and that would be were the stress lies, but hey don't let a old spoilsport like me put you off as it is just not for me, although my nephew keeps pushing as he says I would be great to watch?

Thank you for the well wishes! And no problem not liking it, some things just aren’t for everybody. If you were to start a YouTube channel, what would it be about?

they'll send some kinda letter and you can make fun of it.

😄 Seems like all the YouTubers are doing that these days

Start every episode with Quicksilver! He runs into frame and introduces the show’s segments. 

Good idea, but I might have rights issues with Disney 

Shameless plug I know but I am excited to share this with my CGC forum family. I recently started a YouTube channel called Between the Keyframes. It focuses on the discussion of cartoon and animation history. I've posted 2 videos so far. One is the first part of a 3-part series on the role of cartoons during World War II. The other video is on the video game Final Fantasy VI (III in the US). I will have videos on comics at some point in the near future but as a tease, you will see my CGC copies of ASM 300, Hulk 181 and GSM 1 in my intro at the beginning of each video (so this post isn't completely without comics ). I'm trying to make this as high production as I can, with at least one video a month rolling out. If you have any ideas for comic related videos, I'd love to hear it!

^ Agreed

Buy the book not the grade...or what the grade or plastic says. Buy it for the love of what is inside and you can never go wrong. 

I agree about buying the book and not the grade. But it is different if you are the one who submits the book. When I submitted my page, I expected it to be done correctly because I am investing a lot of time and money. If I am paying CGC to have my page encapsulated, it should better well be correct. Is it too much to ask to give a label a once-over just to see if there are any errors?

I've been meaning to send this out to cgc but just never get around to it. I cut it out from a beat up copy with half the front cover ripped off so it wasn't gonna serve any purpose there.

It looks to be a cream to off white but it's in decent shape without any stains or tears. My only concern and what's keeping me from doing it is they end up disregarding my notes and put the money page on the back of the slab 

If you get it signed by Stan...no, Herb...no,  Len Wein then they will automatically put the signature side to the front of the slab.

But if the page isn't worth anything, why not just put it in a nice frame of your choice and make up your own label that says exactly what you want it to?

Because it is worth something to me and I want it in a CGC holder with proper notation. I also enjoy collecting CGC encapsulated pages.

Minor indiscretion. I don't know that anyone would know or even care that "page 10" is not supposed to be notated twice. The important thing is that they notated the ad. It looks great! 

What did they leave out of the notation the second & third times?

I know no one else will probably care, but it is important to me. That said, I won’t be resubmitting it because it has been a 6 month ordeal and at least the notation does mention Hulk 181. It’s just annoying that there is still an error after 4 submissions

For the second and third submission they left out mentioning Hulk 181 entirely.

^Couple questions (apologies for joining your journey late)

1. What is the error? The fact they list page 10 twice? Is that really an error or just them stating the same info twice?

2. How many times have you submitted this page?

3. Why? You can purchase the issue the ad is in for less. Granted, if slabbed you dont see the ad so I guess you having this makes some sense for displaying purposes....

1) yes the error is that they listed Page 10 twice. It should only be once. The first version I got back from CGC was correct in the notation but incorrect in the grade (they labeled it NG instead of PG). The second time, they left off the notation entirely. The third time looked just like the second and now this fourth time is what you see. In every submission I include notes on the pack-in slip as well as written on the slab exactly what the notation should say. I even call to confirm what it should say yet somehow they just don’t listen. It’s not like I am asking for a favor because they wrote the notation correctly the first time. 

2) 4 times

3) The book sucks. The page is awesome. And you are correct, it is for displaying purposes. It also has an added bonus. The Silver Samurai (one of Wolverine’s recurring enemy) is my second favorite character after Wolverine. It just so happens that Silver Samurai debuts in Daredevil 111. And it so happens that the letters surrounding the ad in this page talk about Daredevil 111 and Silver Samurai.

the photo below shows the first version. Note the correct notation but they mis-graded it as NG and they included an extra “Page 10” where you are suppose to write “limited edition” or something like that

Ok, so for those following my adventure in label errors, I finally got back from CGC my Hulk 181 ad page from Daredevil 115... for the 4th time! And, I give up. They did include “ad for Incredible Hulk 181” in the notation which is good but why the hell did they also write “page 10” in the notation when it already says “page 10 only” under “Daredevil 115”?! I feel like I am being punked by CGC. Every single resubmission gets a slightly wrong label.
