Ditto!

Also, will any be raw, or all slabbed?

Both.

Here's an update on this thread. I'm just about finished processing the next round, that will feature #61 - #100.

I'm looking at Tuesday 3/5 in the evening, around 6 to get started back up. I will probably split the thread into two evenings, doing about 20 books each night. Go get some money lined up.

There will be roughly 18 new slabs (9.0-9.4), and three left overs slabs from the last round, and maybe a discount on those.  

4.5

I was hidden and now I am found, this is #11 post for me! Working my way to the #50 spot.

 Did you end up listing the 48 and 52 in the last group? If not, are they coming in this one?

No, those are not for sale right now. They are tucked away with about 20 other nice Silver Age books that I "was" going to send to CGC.

No way with all the krap going on there right now.

Sounds Massive.

6.0/6.5. Always anticipate a worse grade from CGC than you think when analyzing stains

I'm in the 6.5 ball park also. These spots are there, but actually tough to see  unless you really look. Regardless , they are there.

Who was the seller?

No excuse for k rap like that. At least a few pieces of card board.

Going over this book this morning, I noticed on the inside front cover, top border, two small water spots/stains. 

 They look worse in the pic, and are actually hard to see in hand.

Book has great gloss and the feel of a new book. Light non breaking bends on the back cover.

This copy has the feel of a new book. Has a full length spine bend about 3/8" in from the edge, from most likely sitting in a stack. No color breaking at all.

A few light lines on the front cover. A press would get rid of both of these.

The lines in the blue area on the top are not defects.

 "generous" grading of the Promise Collection of pedigree books which makes you wonder who the so-called anonymous "secret" submittors really were?    

Was there a 1 year turnaround wait on that collection being certified ? Asking for a friend.

When I scam out of the hobby, I'll be looking for the death penalty.

Public hanging, firing squad, or tree shredder??

It says the perp admitted to stealing 23 comics.  It remains possible that the true number is actually larger. 

This....................what a sad state for our hobby. I'm starting to actually feel good about liquidating my F.F.'s and other parts of my collection.

Question. A while back someone posted a video ( don't remember where ) of a band with some girl singer (blonde hair I think) crawling on the floor, then throwing herself into the crowd, that caught her. Looked like some punk rock group or something of that nature.  Anyone?

Unfortunately not. Maybe that punk thread?

Link???

Idk what video it was, it might have been a band called "pretty reckless" for a modern version, or Paramore for a early 2000's but has since rereleased stuff.

Or it could be a random gif idk 

It was a full you tube video. Don't remember what thread it was in.
