I am seriously considering it. When you resub, remember to not send the old label in. KEEP 'EM GUESSING! The old label has NO bearing on how it grades second time around. You can trust me on that. (thumbs u I meant for the census.

Is the FC 9 a blue label? (hoping for purple at that grade) Nope, Blue. I picked it up at a Heritage auction a few months back. I hate to part with it, but ...

Hi! I just added Blonde Phantoms 12, 14 and 15 to my sales thread here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2887062#Post2887062 All CGC blue label! I also have a Four Color 9 (Pirate Gold) CGC 7.5 if anyone is interested. I can put it up as well.

I've added an All Winners #2 and #8, both CGCed, to the thread as well.

Hi! I just posted a Cap #1 and #42 over in the FSOB: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2869227 Please take a look! Thanks!

There're 3 planned? Can I read about this somewhere? That's pretty good news if the studio is committed to all 3. Makes for possibly more thought spent on how to do these very well. QUAID confirms 3 gi joes planned there are other links around just google them. I don't have anything to say about this except "COOL!" That and I am tired of looking at your sig: "if they cheat on there wives, there is a good chance they will cheat on grading your comics!" It's their wives.

I think the OP wasn't talking about reglossing, but deacidification spray. And it didn't seem like a troll to me. Edit: OK, I see that the deacidification spray was a different thread, and that I'd not actually read the OP's post until now. It did seem trollish.

I have several copies of Little Max #1 because I love infinity covers, and my son is named Max.

Wolf-Man 11 is the usual art team: Jason Howard. His style is very clean like Ottley's. I wonder if Jason Howard and Josh Howard (Dead @17) are related?

I read the Invincible (57) and Wolf-Man (11) cross-over that came out today. Great fun. On-Time in '09! And bigtime spoiler alerts before you read the letters pages in Invincible.

Fair or not, GCG gets to tell you what you can and can't do to your books. In fact, they're not even your books. You are just holding them for GCG until you slab them, at which time (if you read the fine print), ownership in the book switches to the GCG. That's why you can't spray your books, I mean GCG's books. GCG doesn't want you spraying their ! You are adding a physical composition to the book that was not part of the manufacture. Pretty simple, realy. What about the oils from my skin when I touch it? Or humidity in storage? Pen marks and glue are considered resto depending on the assumed intent. Tape is sometimes considered a defect, etc. It's completely arbitrary.

Can you say "Newsstand Mint"?

Kudos to Steve (143ksk) for fast ship on one of his Treasure Trove Steamer Trunk Collection books. And separate kudos for bringing us the collection in the first place, and being such a nice guy to deal with it for his friends. Thanks!

Cool! Congrats!

Belated kudos to Mac Man, pinball and chainball for fast payments and great communications!

Going up tonight are a lot of Silver Age midgrade Marvels: Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man, as well as a Fine (or so) Hulk 181. I still haven't found my AF 15 undercopy, so it won't be going up tonight.

Phil (vtcomics) was super fair and easy to work with, as usual, in our recent trades. Thanks, Phil!

Looking at the pricing schedule at: http://www.cgccomics.com/services/services_and_fees.asp It looks like the only way to grade a comic valued at $4000+ is to do a Walkthru. Is that correct?

Holy crud, that's a nice set. Where the heck did you find that?

So, I have one theory so far: Did it have to do with lightboxing?

Wow. You've piqued my curiosity! You should submit this to Car Talk as a Puzzler.

'Tec 29 -- again against the grain of what'll probably resell better later. Three reasons: 1) Great cover! 2) Never had a 'Tec 29. 3) Already have a great (PLOD 5.5) DD #1

Initially, I'd have to say the Bats 1 because it's unrestored high grade. But wow. I've never had an Action 1, and I have a frankenbook Bats 1, so I think based on that alone, I'd have to go with the Action 1. (All my picks so far seem to have been the books with less definite future value. Hmm.)

Cap 2 vs. Action 2: Cap 2 DEFINITELY. I'm a GA Cap collector, and my #2 is nowhere near that 7.5, even with the chunk out of the bottom. Startling vs. 'Tec: This one is harder for me. I think I'd go with the Startling, for love of the Schomburg cover, and the fact that I already have a nice 'Tec 38, but a 9.4 Startling just doesn't come along that often. Although, when it comes to holding value, I think the 'Tec might be better.
