    This appears to be the same mentality that drives up the price for all movie-related comics...

    The numbers on this site seem to support your concern...there has been a spike in cases here in the U.S. in the last few days (increase from 3,680 cases on Sunday to 6,439 cases today), but that could also be because testing is becoming more available... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

    Six counties in the San Francisco Bay Area have been ordered to shelter in place starting at midnight (March 17th) until at least April 7th... https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-to-shelter-in-place-What-you-need-15135087.php

    I agree, and have seen a few books where tears line up with those production creases, usually at the centerfold.

    I totally agree, but I'm biased because I live up here. I heard a few dealers say they would consider setting up at Wondercon if it moved back to San Francisco though...

    5.0 for me as well...presents nicely for the grade!

    Final price reduction on the Avengers #6 leading into the weekend...

    Dropped the price on the Avengers #6...

    Someone asked a question about the spine on the Avengers #6, and upon much closer inspection there is one tiny spot of spine wear that has worn through the cover (it's hard to tell if this is from production or part of the "moderate spine stress" called out by CGC). Here are a few photos of this spot of wear: It's very subtle, and at first glance looks like it could be foxing...

    Thanks!

    Next up is Tales of Suspense #53 - Fine 6.0, Off-White to White pages - $100 SOLD Second appearance of Black Widow and origin of the Watcher. I can say with certainty that this book has not been pressed because it has some non-color-breaking wear.

    First up is Avengers #6 - Formerly CGC VF+ 8.5 (label will be included with the book), Off-White to White pages - $675 $565 First appearance of Baron Zemo, who will be the villain in the "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" series on Disney+! I don't think this book has been pressed (there are two minor non-color-breaking items that I think would not be there if the book was pressed), but I bought it already slabbed and cracked it out. Graders notes: light finger bends center of front cover light wear left center of front cover breaks color moderate spine stress lines breaks color Item not called out in the graders notes - small tear in the margin of one page (please see the photo in the spoiler).

    Fantastic report and great pics...thanks for sharing! I need to make it out to C2E2 one of these years...

    My guess is also that this is a 9.4 that was accidentally mislabeled .4...
  16. silverseeker
    I kept getting drawn to that as well... Very interesting read...thanks for sharing!

    Hulk #181 for me as well, especially since it has the stamp...

    Very interesting read...thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for this info! For some reason I thought a Qualified grade would only come into play if a book was signed on the cover as opposed to on the first page (as is the case with the Jack Kirby signature on the book in question)...
  20. silverseeker
    I think only Stan lee's signature is called out on the label as verified ("SIGNED BY STAN LEE ON 09/22/18"), while Jack Kirby's signature is just called out in a note. Would the book get a Qualified grade (green vs. blue label) if it were not submitted through the Signature Series service? I don't think it would in that case, otherwise every book with someone's signature on the first page would get a Qualified grade.
  21. silverseeker
    Is it possible that the Jack Kirby-signed book did not get a Qualified label because he signed it on the first page and not the cover?

    Get well soon Bob!
