Please note the applied insurance value (paid to CGC) only takes effect when CGC takes possession of the comics. Your insurance covers the comics while in transit. I'm curious how many other businesses operate this way where you pay a company insurance in the event they damage your property. Imagine taking your car in for service and the technician says, "Yes, it's $100 for an oil change, but your Porsche is valued at $150,000, so you also have to pay 10% of the fair market value in the event we damage your car. The total will be $15,100."

When reporting taxes from eBay sales, not sure if an non-business can take the following into consideration: (1) time spent listing items (2) fees to list items (3) time reading and responding to inquires (4) time, fuel, and costs to drive and purchase packing materials (5) time spent carefully packaging the items (6) time spent driving to FedEX/UPS/DHL/USPS and standing in line to ship the items (7) time/costs (use of printer and ink) to print out any statement which may go in the package (8) shipping insurance (9) vehicle insurance (not the entire cost, but a portion)

Yup. That was my mistake. Didn't realize I was on the "cards" page. My apologies. @CGC Mike feel free to remove this posting

Not on my end. Tell me what you get for the following: 0010138012 This is for Nick Fury #1, 1966

@CGC Mike is the certification page down? no matter what number I enter, it states, "this item cannot be found..." I bring this to your attention as I saw earlier posts from members concerned a CGC comic may not be legitimate. Have a great day.

There might be a tech glitch on CGC. I just looked up the Cert for a CGC comic on Heritage and it came back with the same note. I'm gonna wait and re-enter the number later today.

Kudos to you for capturing pre-photos

First and foremost, I am so happy to see CGC is providing Grader Notes for 9.8s and 9.9s. I just discovered you can have the following defects and get a 9.9 for the only 9.9 graded Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 (Marvel, 1968). CGC Grader Notes: Spine Small Chip Out Top Front Cover Small Crease I looked at the comic very close, and I believe the small crease is above the CCA box. However, the certification number did not appear in the registry when I looked it up: 0010138012. I'd like to know when this comic was graded.

What a clean finish

Heard back from GoCollect: No plans to add pulps for the foreseeable future. However, they added they would check to see if this is something that could be considered sooner rather than later.

If you create a thread for Amazing Stories 1928, here are some interesting facts: Amazing Stories (1928) is the 1st appearance of Buck Rogers - predating his appearance in newspapers. Next was in a Kellogg's promotion (1933) followed by Famous Funnies #3 (1934), followed by newspaper comic strip reprints in Buck Rogers #1 (1940). I believe the next original comic story does no appear until Famous Funnies #209 (1953). Flash Gordon, who was created to compete against Buck, first appeared in newspapers as a comic strip (1934). His 1st appearance in comic books were reprints of those newspaper comic strips, King Comics #1 (1936). The next documented appearance was in Four Color #10 (1941). I cannot determine if this is color newspaper reprints or an original story. If it's a color reprint, the potential first original appearance of Flash in a comic book would be Flash Gordon #1 (1966).

I looked for this issue on HA, but could not find it. When you come across the link, please do share. Found it: https://comics.ha.com/itm/pulps/horror/weird-tales-118-v22-4-popular-fiction-october-1933-cgc-fn-vf-70-white-pages/p/7369-265001.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

The thought of cleaning a pulp worries me. More so for my pulps that appear to be above the 7.0 grade. And even scarier, some of these high grades look like a cleaning would make a significant difference. If I ever submit a high grade copy, I gonna over capture so many high-res images. Would be interesting to hear from (reputable) pulp cleaners on how pulps compare to comics wrt cleaning.

I'd love to see a new price guide, but once this information gets populated on Key Collector, etc will there be a need for a printed guide?

Hmmm. When an individual ships comics to CGC, once CGC takes possession, your personal insurance policy no longer covers the comic(s). As a precaution, I'm making an assumption the same may occur when I turn the collection over to the shipping company. I've reached out to the insurance company for confirmation. It would be great news if it is covered the entire route. PS - When I first read your response, I thought, "it's not my collection, but a collection I recently acquired." Then I remembered, well if I acquire it, it is now part of my collection. However, it won't feel that way until it's home.

If, as noted above, there are already graded copies, when will the stats appear at Key Collector, GPAnalysis, GoCollect?

I am shipping an entire comic book collection from Hawaii to California. I believe I have everything covered, but looking to forum members for input. 1. Insurance: If I recall, the comics are covered by the insurance (my policy) until the collection is turned over to the shipping company. This is where I need to determine what policies are available while in transit. Then, once the shipping company delivers the crates, the comics go back onto the same insurance policy. 2. Shipping Company: Already identified as I've worked with them in the past. The comics will be packaged so all that is required is to place the collection into pre-built crates. The journey takes 5-7 business days. There will be 2-3 crates, each measuring 3' X 2' X 2'. Total weight 320-400 LBS. There will be Apple air-tags in each crate.

Thanks for sharing. Outside of those responses, where does the CGC site state this? My favorite response, "It should be noted that while notes may offer insight into the book's condition, the intent of providing grader notes is not to justify the grade received." So...the grader notes which describe the book's condition is not related to the grade?

Lightning, In response to your comment: ""It has been indicated that the notes are primarily for internal use, grader to grader, made available to us as a courtesy." I've heard this and similar responses this forum. Do you have a reference? If so, please do share. This is what the CGC site states: "These “Grader Notes” describe problems, indicate the condition of the interior pages, and help explain why a collectible received the grade it did. After the first grader enters notes and their grade, the next grader can review those notes and can make any additional notes. For collectibles with the purple CGC Restored Grade label, Restoration Notes are given that describe the location and type of restoration. These notes are a valuable part of the grading process, and CGC makes Grader Notes available online for free."

P-Uncle, I have several 9.8s with the same aberration. I recall seeing a YouTube video where CGC said this would not (might not) disqualify a comic from a 9.8 grade.

We're coming up on Buck Rogers' 100th birthday

Hoping to get an update on this topic.

I still cannot get past management's first question.
