Aaaaaaand why wouldn't you send this in?

Many copies raw in grade for cheaper than cost of slabbing alone.

True, but they may have raws and or this is the only one they have slabbed etc.

There isnt a line that we can draw so succinctly I dont think....

True statement @ADAMANTIUM- My graded collection are for preservation/better copies that are already in my raw collection. I have a copy of every comic in raw, that I do graded. probably my graded collection is at 5% of my ungraded collection. (Maybe a couple books graded that I bought on a binge 😆 🍻)

Collect what you want to, and what makes you happy @Stephen Gordon…

Dont worry about registry points, or you’re not truly making YOURSELF happy. Sure one book is worth more than a whole collection, and so usually is the cost of that key book.  Just collect for your own happiness, and disregard the points in registry. If you are satisfied  (most importantly, and trust me other collectors will notice your collection also. ) do you really need a piece of paper to congratulate you.  

Love what you collect, all that matters to me. And just my 

Love this comic, hard to grade without seeing in hand, but from the pictures presented I would not send in to be graded. 7.5-8.0 - hopefully I’m wrong, still a great book 👍

Some blood stains on this sketch cover by Giuseppe Cafaro…

Still no stains @ganni

I was planning  to make something like this then someone beat me to it......

It is cool…I was hoping Ivo would have fixed  the error of naming Hugh Haynes under the image from Michael Golden Punisher #50 cover art though.

Legacy numbering.

Once you reboot a series, going back to old numbering is a lame gimmick. Detective Comics never hit issue 1000. It ended at 881 and then started over.

Very true!... I hate the starting over with another #1 issue with 20+ variants every other year or so. 😡

People talking with their mouths closed.  Look its harder to draw a talking person than a closed mouth but stretch your skills a little, guys.

Congratulations! @electricprune on winning one of the registry best sets. Awesome Vigilante set.  Well deserved!

eBay wins?

Yes. 
I missed out on 2 issues that I needed from that sellers auction, which sold with a best offer. Disturbed at myself for not taking action for the BIN Option, or placing first bid on those items…. Wasn’t meant to be I suppose. 😕

That would be so cool

I know these black covers are hard to grade, it may grade out in the 9's at least I'd hope.

But was a good read regardless and happy to add to the collection.

Man winning registry awards is hard 😂 I have overall a high score, but not all in one set and congrats to all those who are dedicated and win! 

Great book again, You do have a great collection @ADAMANTIUM, all that matters is getting what you want, and like/love to make yourself happy.

😃👍 

To win a registry major award would be great.. There are a lot of Amazing collections on these boards, to win one would be an honor/(honour). Yes congratulations are definitely in order to the winners. 👍

Same!  I think the War Zone series of covers where great!

Nice pickup @Parabellum, this comic, ( Punisher War Zone #7) is definitely picking up some momentum. 

I was able to win these 2 War Zone issues, when they arrive safely, I will be able to cross them off my CGC graded 9.8 list.
