  1. No, what happened was that they imported those that they could transfer where the book name or numbers matched up exactly correct. Those that did not they sent me back in a spreadsheet as not-imported.
  2. I use both CLZ and Covrprice. It is a bummer about GoCollect tanking out on CLZ. However, Covrprice will import CSV files because I have done it from CLZ to Covrprice myself. I had to clean up some comics where the terminology differed, but it works.
  3. Hey everybody. First of all I REALLY appreciate all the interest, effort, experience and data points that you have all brought to my quest for guidance on selling my Hulk 181. I thought I would first clarify that my book is OW/W for the record. I also appreciate EVERYONE'S input and hope that the hot back and forth simmers down a bit. I may be naive, but I assume everyone is giving their best opinions for the good of the community and to help someone (like me) out. So plenty of thanks to go around. Meanwhile, I have come upon a solution about my "sell or not FOMO problem", by agreeing to part with a 2/3 share in the book to a family member who has patience and time to wait for more growth, the MCU, or whatever comes down the road for an agreed upon amount, keeping it in the family, getting some decent cash now, with an upside future for both of us. That seems like a win/win to me. Again, thanks for the ongoing education!
  4. I'm sure you're not being a smart @ss, but you are certainly wrong about me. I only joined CGC in May of this year after and I have been trying to keep abreast of as many developments, opinions, and trends as I can. It's not easy filtering out all of the competing voices that tell you to sell or hold, etc. My goal IS to sell it. It's a question of when.
  5. What's going on with Hulk 181? According to GoCollect the whole book is trending down. I'm afraid I missed the highwater mark on my cgc 5.0 and am seeing big pullback in sale prices. I hate to sell anything on the down side, but if its going to take years for MCU news to turn the tide, and I don't have that big a time window to wait, should I just cut bait?
  6. Why be surprised. Harrison Ford was 77 in the last Star Wars movie, 76 in the last Blade Runner, and is in yet another version of Indiana Jones yet to be released, and he's 79.
  7. Surprised the Hugh Jackman rumors and teasers haven't spiked prices, even a little.
  8. Pro Pictures from CGC. Looks a lot better than my pictures!
  9. Well, for all of you prognosticators thinking about stratospheric prices for near perfect books that only the rich and famous will afford, how about looking in your crystal balls on what to expect, or how to price my 5.0 now and in the future by waiting for the the next Marvel interation?
  10. Congrats on the returns and thanks for the very interesting and informative narrative. I was riveted. Truly!
  11. You would have to have amazing faith in this book to shell out that kind of money for the hope of continued growth like we have seen lately. According to CovrPrice a 9.6 sold for $35k in May but then $23k in June. While a 9.4 sold for $21k in May. How do you count on stability or risk management with that kind of volatility? I'm just trying to figure out how my 5.0 will go and I have no investment capital at risk!
  12. I'd love to actually have the problem of declaring 20k in taxes, but I don't see this book going that high.
  13. There's a magnificent Rain Storm 12 string acoustic electric vintage carbon fiber/spruce construction guitar that sounds like an orchestra all by itself, with my name just waiting to go on it. Obviously depending on a sale price, it will depend on how much is left that I can use on my wife's milestone birthday. That's 2 fun things off the top of my head
  14. I forgot to include the pictures of the slab. Sorry
