  1. I’m kinda geeky with my collection; I tape the corresponding 90s Impel trading cards to the rear of my first appearance books. I forgot to remove several of them on one submission, I received them back in a bag with board with my graded books.
  2. I would easily recommend having this cleaned and pressed. It would greatly improve the appearance and desirability of the book.
  3. A decent looking copy, and if not for that top right corner and lower left…. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
  4. I’m around 6.5 to maybe 7.0 if the grader got lucky recently.
  5. As is, I’m around a 4.0 - 4.5, might clean and press to 4.5-5.0.
  6. Hey gang, what do you think? I’m super duper frugal about sending books in, considering this one. Your input may sway my decision! Thanks!
  7. My first comics were from two of these - the ROTJ and BSG three packs started me off on this crazy path! My sister had the Smurfs three pack.
  8. Do you have examples of similar “printing mishaps?”
  9. I made a bulk buy of books, and initially thought this was just a torn cover, no big deal. Sorting through later, I went to toss it in the dollar bin pile and noticed that the corner was not MIA, but uninked. This book was released a few months prior to ASM 194, and we know about the nifty yellow variant. What say you? Anybody else have one like this?
  10. I updated my room with some better shelves to allow for more books to be displayed. Those filled up quickly, and now I need another room to add shelves to…. (Yes, I believe that James Gunn will bring G’Nort to the big screen, hence a gajillion copies of JLI 10…)
  11. Your community is different than mine, that much is apparent. You still haven’t copped to your own comment, which is what I asked for.
  12. This would clean up pretty nice, but 7.0 would be a surprise. With the color breaks on the spine, the damaged back cover, I’m thinking you’re around a six if the grader is in a good relationship. It’s nicer than mine at any rate!
  13. Thanks. I was floating on a cloud. The FF49 was real, but the intended book was not. A total of three fakes in my bundle, and if you guys are catching the story from other sources, that seems to be this guys MO. He throws in some legit books, some decent stuff, others included ASM 365 (not my thing but people dig that for potential), Marvel Premiere 47, some 12 cent Thor and Avengers filler. He has done this with a handful of others in the area, so I’m taking some comfort in that, as weird as that sounds. My wife isn’t upset with me, and that’s a huge burden lifted. So yeah, let’s all learn a lesson I guess, and inspect the snot out of your next CGC grail purchase. I suspect this will change how I buy books from now on, and others as well. Inspect the snot out of your next purchase gang. Check the lower seals especially. He/they are pretty good at this it would seem.
  14. And Taro, what is that exactly? Go ahead, apologize in front of the group, and think before you make accusations next time.
