Dark Knight

at least a $50k mistake?

That was a great find! I remember the news then. Book sold on CC, I believe the book graded in the good range.

I can also post my top 5 of your collection

I am not quite sure at this point. I'll look into it this week.

Nope. Looking at everyone's top 5, I do not have the "depth" that most folks have on here My stuff is mainly on hero books.

Still waiting for someone to find an Action 1 or Tec 27 at an estate sale, flea market, etc.

Oh forgot to mention Robocard (Ed Robertson) is based in AZ I believe. He is a board member and has a fantastic selection of books with reasonable prices. I'd send him a PM.

Same with me too. IE works just fine for it.

CGC used to note "pressed" on their labels years back. I doubt they will bring it back again.

Great to hear. Sucks that you had to eat the CGC fees, evaluation, etc. but at least you get the bulk of your $ back.

5.5

Missed part 1 yesterday, but thankfully, they will show it again tonight. Will record both parts. Thanks for the thread!

Good selection guys! Let's keep this thread movin'!

bump for the week

I've had done business with All About Comics personally and met with Alan and Marsha who are the owners of the store. Both very very nice people and passionate about the hobby. They just got in a huge GA,SA, and I believe BA collection from a long-time collector and are slowly liquidating his collection. I would definitely check it out.

Cool thanks for checking in and for talking to them. I wonder how others are able to get through to checkout on Chrome. Really strange. Hope we can get an answer and a fix soon!

Just checked on the online submission form to see if it works properly on Google Chrome (for me at least). Until now, I still can't manage to add the title of the book in the drop-down arrow when I click on it or any other section (publisher, issue #, etc.). The only way for me to fill-out the form is to just keep using the "tab" button. And if say, I made a mistake on the issue #, I cannot even go back to that section, I'd have to tab from the beginning again and by doing that, would erase the last thing that was entered. Anyone else experiencing this? Such a pain in the butt. On the other hand with IE, I am able to fill-out the form easier without any complications. Hope the problem with Chrome can be fixed asap! Also, another thing that I thought in the start-up page after selecting your media, I think there should be a "Pre-Screen" selection as well. How else can we pre-screen our books if there is no selection on it? The last submission I did, I chose the old form where I had to print and fill-out the 4 pages, writing in each section repeatedly 3x on all forms (the last form is your copy). Again, a pain in the butt.

I think that the increase in grading prices (more or less +$5) is due to CGC hiring more personnel to make turnaround times quicker.

New CGC Grading Fees Effective June 1, 2017 CGC Announces Revised Grading Services & Fees CGC has announced changes to its grading services and fees, effective June 1, 2017. All submissions received by CGC on or after June 1, 2017, will be processed at the new fees. These are the first comprehensive changes that CGC has made to its services and fees since January 2012. Percentage discounts for paid CGC Collector Society Members and Authorized Dealers remain the same. CGC grading fees for other collectibles (magazines, concert posters, lobby cards, etc.) will also remain the same. There have been no changes to CCS fees. The following changes apply to submissions of comic books received by CGC on or after June 1, 2017: Handling Fee Paper & PDF Forms – Changed to $8.00 per form. As before, each grading tier must be submitted on a separate form. Online Form – Remains $5.00 per tier. The online form allows customers to do multiple submissions under the same tier and pay only one handling fee. The handling fee is applied for each tier of service. Signature Series - Remains the same at $5.00 per submission form. Grading Fees Modern – Fee changed to $20 per book. Value – Fee changed to $27 per book. Turnaround time changed to 50 business days. Minimum submission requirement is removed. The removal of the 15-book submission requirement makes the Value tier a more affordable option for collectors with only one book or collectors who are just learning about CGC’s grading services. Economy – Fee changed to $38 per book. Turnaround time changed to 35 business days. CGC is very pleased that operational upgrades and new hires have enabled it to reduce the turnaround time for the Economy tier from 40 business days to 35 business days.

Signature Series Economy – Fee changed to $43 per book. Turnaround time changed to 35 business days. CGC has matched the faster turnaround time of its Economy tier by reducing the turnaround time for Signature Series Economy by five business days.

Well obviously we will continue to have disagreements with the current pricing of this book, whether it was influenced by past sales that had upgrade potential artificially inflating the value or if this spiked increase is real for all copies (yes even chipped copies have been selling for more than what they sold for months ago). It doesn't matter if you are trying to prove your point, the other will continually dismiss it. Let's just have fun and again congrats to those who own a copy. Too much serious talk is blah.

No Cap 1's will ever be under the radar regardless of condition. Not much out there for sale at this point.

I've used the CC monthly plan for 6 months before. Was definitely useful for me especially with 0% interest each month as long as you pay for your monthly fee I guess.

Nice find! And you've been keeping this a secret for the past 8 years from us
