fishbone

sold mine 3 years ago now and still don't regret it

Incredibly well done CGC Board eulogy ! and some great pictures, long live Larson’s legacy thru his books

sorry, just looked hoping beyond hope that I'd see what you are claiming, but I don't see it -- yes, if you go above 8.0 then I can see some $100+ action, but not 5.5-7.5 ...................

That's a beauty man !!! That's it, I'm selling !

Am I missing something -- unless all high-grade books, how could 1-100 buy a person one ferrari let alone two ?! Are we talking new Ferraris, or older used ones ..... ? Just curious, 'cause I'd love to trade my ASM1-100 for a shiny new italian sportscar ...... any takers ?

absolutely, I can confirm because I've had this done (on a big book too) ......

******update -- I did get my signatures via Twin Cities. I sent books in March and Romita SR. did sign all 7 books, I got one back from CGC and the other 6 are marked as "received" at CGC. But it is my understanding that he is not signing anymore and that he is in poor health. The one signature I did get back is very shakey looking I have to say ............. but at least I got this absolute LEGEND finally !!!!! I really hope he can sign more in the future, but who knows .........

out of reach ? dude!? ... based on these it looks like a slam dunk

I can't speak as a top expert, but I can speak as a collector of both comics and hockey cards (I'm Canadian, what do you want) for a very long time and I can tell you that grail hockey cards anyway have been very undervalued for a long time ........ it's about time my hockey heroes get their due !!

No way the statement about wagner being more well-known than superman and batman is correct - in fact it is so far the opposite, by a factor of 1000000 !!

I've never found an "official" service that presses sports cards .... anyone reading, share any links if you know of any (I need this service for many of my cards) - failing that, I'll have to pull out the iron and board

not rumour, it's 100% public knowledge: https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/i-team/mastro-admits-cutting-honus-card-article-1.1482098

But I'm fairly sure those cards that are 10's are true 10's - you can't, from my knowledge, do anything to cardboard cards (expect illegal trimming) that can bump a card from 9 or 9.5 to 10......of course, with pressing and such, comics can be bumped.

I think that T206 was found to be trimmed at the end of the day .... so not sure that one would be in the running

Mother !!!!!!

wow!!!!!

above records already cleaned multiple times with an extra-soft toothbrush, water, and a bit of liquid dish soap - definitely cleaned a lot of sh*t out of the grooves, and music sounds amazing whilst playing, but that cloudy "smudging" look to the shellac, under light, is always there unfortunately

it is !!

Indeed - I don't know why I'm getting attracted to these early rock n' roll gems, but they do sound amazing - mostly smudge-type of marks, and on these shellac 78's almost impossible to "clean" off, but sound is surprisingly amazing !!

Josh is great

Very thin year in terms of acquisitions, but able to grab this from the best - Harley ......
