i have been a top gun since forever but this delays is making me loose interest. link how many times will they postpone this movie? this movie was scheduled for a summer 2020 release. now its like a 2 year delay. 

I think it's Santa without a doubt.

I haven't encountered a 500 error for the last few day. I was happy thought finally. But as I click on this thread to make a happy post.... BOOOM!!!!! A 500 Error.

That's the magic of the MCU: it can disregard its own story science and its fans still proclaim how accurate it is to that said science.

It's called QUANTUM

watched episode 7. I think it was supposed to be light-hearted and fun, and overall just silly.

Doctor Strange episode still my favorite.

It had the same plot like the anime Stein's Gate. You can watch it.

All I can view is past auctions.  I can't see the upcoming auctions.

Same here

For what it's worth... I haven't really kept count of how many books I've had slabbed, either for my personal collection or via my involvement in the business side of the hobby, but it's probably north of five hundred at this point, dating all the way back to the red-label Modern days. In all that time, I've had one-ish* book that had to go back for a label correction, one book that had a hair in the slab, and no books significantly damaged by the grading process.

A lot of books get slabbed, and relatively few have problems. We see the vast majority of those problems here, so confirmation bias is a legitimate concern. That's not to excuse some of the damage or the label problems (especially the multi-book label swapfests; seriously, people...), but most books are not damaged by CGC's handling and encapsulation. I still think the OP's images are more consistent with reflection from a very bright scanner (look at the difference in color saturation between the scanner image and the unslabbed photograph!) rather than actual damage, but I'd need the book in hand (or other images) to really know for certain.

* Technically, I've had two mechanical error returns, but the other one involved some debate with CGC over how they were labeling a low-value somewhat obscure book, and ultimately resulted in a change the labeling policy for it; I don't really consider that to be an error per se. The second printing they recently slabbed without notation, that one was on them.

Well what I see is there are alot of factors involving the slabbing, and I think you're right here.

Actually i have recently joined the board after a while and all I'm noticing is lack of quality control maybe it's psychological. Ever since Blackstone acquired cgc, several YouTubers and boardies were posting pictures of books ruined by cgc.

It's a hard lesson all comics junkies must learn...they can even start out as 9.8 on the label and be reduced in actual grade, incrementally, with the passage of time.  I've personally decided to let all my keepers remain un-slabbed so that I have final say on what grade level they maintain!

If I were you I'd quit this website in protest and never come back. That'll show them!

Ok

Is there any comic out there that isn't ruined after being sent for grading? Cgc really needs to focus on the quality control, it feels like they don't even care how many precios memoribilla they destroy.

Hi, I was wondering if there was any work that could be done to the ink on this cover that could help improve its grade. Thank you

That's some real art bro

Can someone please tell me if I can bring a comic book at a comic book convention, drop it off at cgc with a signature received at the Comic-Con via witnessed signing event, that I also want cleaned by the third party vendor. Would cgc first give the sign comic book to ccs to clean it and press it before assigning a grade to it?

Make sure to take pictures before sending it for grading.

Btw is lokigator in comics?
