PGM DD #168 - GRADE IS IN!
Matt1982 replied to Math Teacher's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I was 11. Started reading DD just a few issues later - 174 I think. 182 was the first issue I ever got from a sub. -

I think I only have two books with three sigs, but they’re two of my absolute favorites. Here’s one:

Disney +'s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN show starring Charlie Cox (2025)
Matt1982 replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
He’s excellent. I saw Joe Quesada do a panel at a ComicCon, and he said they cast Charlie Cox because of how good he was in Boardwalk Empire. They were impressed by his ability - as that character - to seamlessly move back and forth between tender love and soulless violence.- 213 replies

Disney +'s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN show starring Charlie Cox (2025)
Matt1982 replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
New news on Crossover series (at least to me). It sounds like Marvel is using Echo and Deadpool/Wolverine to test the market for violent shows. Also, they’re putting together a crossover event in Echo, Born Again and Spider-Man 4 that’s going to lead into a storyline based on Devil’s Reign. I’m in!- 213 replies

Disney +'s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN show starring Charlie Cox (2025)
Matt1982 replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
I totally agree. I'm hopeful that the Echo series will start to show this, as they went back to the drawing board on it, and the trailer actually looks like they're recognizing the street-level violence of this series. Hoping they stick with that in the DD reboot.- 213 replies

Disney +'s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN show starring Charlie Cox (2025)
Matt1982 replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
The storyline from the Born Again comics is one of the best ever. Why you would call this "Born Again," but move away from the original concept, is completely beyond me. I do look forward to a new story, but one that compromises DD's identity and puts MM/DD in a psychological war of chess with the Kingpin is something that would keep me up at nights in anticipation.- 213 replies

What's your progress on 2022 CGC signings?
Matt1982 replied to woznia17's topic in The Signature Room
Anyone know anything about the Marv Wolfman signing? It was supposed to go in August but I'm still showing CCS in process. -
PGM Amazing Spider-Man #9 (1964)
Matt1982 replied to flying_bison's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I'd say 5.5 or 6.0, depending on the stain on the back cover. The staple placement shouldn't affect the grade. Fantastic book to have - congrats! -
Same - mine still shows no progress and I haven't seen anything anywhere.

It’s so unlike CGC to pass on revenue opportunities. Wouldn’t they rather grade books twice than once? It’s really going to hurt the signature program’s revenues if people stop cracking 9.8s because they’re going to drop. Chew on it Matt Nelson!
-
Yes. Sometimes I can look at a 9.8 and know it’ll never get a 9.8 today, but it’s getting more and more common that books that really should get one don’t. A 9.8 is supposed to allow 1-2 minor handling/manufacturing defects, like a tiny spine tick that doesn’t break, and they really seem like they don’t anymore.
-
Have others seen grades getting a lot more harsh on ss books? I’m seeing a LOT of 9.8s go in for sigs and coming back as 9.6s. I recently sent in a big batch of 20 books for sigs. 6 of them that went in as slabbed 9.8s came back as 9.6s. Is this a thing or am I horrifically unlucky?

Crease on Punisher #1
Matt1982 replied to ndlaw2k's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Pressing will not clean that up since it breaks color. -
Great book. Not just a classic DD, but the first Romita Sr. Spider-Man. Pretty copy!
-
I'm not sure if it's the one you're referring to, but manwithoutfear.com is a fantastic site for all DD fans. It's got every variant of every book catalogued, and also has lots of good info on upcoming releases.

Secret Wars #8 High Grade?
Matt1982 replied to Billy Bones's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
A press will help that rippling, as long as it’s only rippling. It’s hard to tell from the photos whether it breaks color. If it doesn’t, a press should fix it. If it does break color, I’d say 9.4-9.6. the other issue though is that vertical line running between the A and R in “Wars.” If that’s a manufacturing issue then it shouldn’t ding you. If it happened unnaturally, though, it’ll hit the grade pretty heavily. If it’s a mark or scratch then I think you’re probably looking at a 7.5 or 8.0. Hoping it’s not! -
PGM Daredevil 165 THE GRADE IS IN
Matt1982 replied to Matt1982's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
-
I welcome the considerable expertise of this group. I’m especially curious what you think about what looks like it could be really mild tanning or foxing on the top of the back cover. Thanks in advance.

Have anyone's Ross sig books moved to grading? Mine are still sitting with CCS.

Disney +'s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN show starring Charlie Cox (2025)
Matt1982 replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
I'd rather not follow the Born Again storyline because I've read the books and would rather get something new. I do, however, hope they stick with the storyline of the Kingpin mentally torturing MM. That was so incredibly well done in the books, it's what makes Kingpin one of my favorite characters. It sounds like it's going to be more along the lines of the end of Series 5 though, where Kingpin runs for Mayor of NYC.- 213 replies
