Oh and if anyone wants to know, there’s one end credits scene and its right at the very end.

Just saw it, and yea... It’s not great. I’m still trying to think if it’s bad. Unfortunately I’m beginning to believe it’s bad, pretty bad.

Yes they do, they also ignore slight restoration especially if they're pedigrees.

Sorry, bit late coming back to this - the Who piece was originally posted on CAF by the owner who bought it direct from Gene Day he said directly that he himself cut the borders off as he was young and didn't know any better. He then auctioned it via HA who listed it correctly as was with borders missing. It sold for $700 or thereabouts - the brothers D then listed it on their site with the fraudulently added borders with a 'price on application'. I asked and was told $7000 or thereabouts... I then asked directly it it had anything added referring directly to the borders. I was told it was complete and that nothing had been added or was missing inc the borders. I then answered and sent a link to the original post on CAF and also the HA auction itself, both showing the piece with missing borders. No reply was forthcoming. Its just one of many absolutely concrete cases of them adding overlays/artwork/calling splash panels covers - you name it. They are crooks - its not 'mistakes', they do it 100% to defraud and part people from their money.

Sorry that is incorrect. The mask was thrown in loose, and yes it did fall out on the shelf at the newsagent. How do i know? Because I bought one myself and picked up a few extra masks that had got left behind on the shelf. Hey! I was a kid ok?!!! Plenty of UK comics had free gifts that are were not in anyway attached to the actual comic, stickers and transfers mostly, it was always a bit of a shoot as to whether you managed to get a copy that had the gift if you had to rely on your parents to pick up the issue. This issue is most likely the rubber band perishing and adhering to the paper. You should be able to pry it apart with the end of a teaspoon or whatnot.

Well unless you're the artist who owns the rights or the actual copyright holder I'd assume that the person producing the merchandise will be acting illegally.

This seems like a weird lawsuit, surely CGC have no automatic obligation to grade anything they don't want to? Particularly as there's other companies doing the exact same grading job. Or is that too simplistic way to look at it?

Everything is relative. Excluding my house (as I need somewhere to live and store my belongings) if I cobble together everything i own and sell it then I'd have a fair chunk of change. What what I do then? Buy pretty much everything back again? Or maybe just change it into various coinage, deposit the lot into some kind of large square container (say for argument lets call it a bin), then sit in it and throw the coins up into the air and let them hit me on the head, or swim and dive in them like a dolphin?

Idris would be awesome. No chance though.

Agreed, I felt it was a return to form from the director after a poor run of films.

Some people are capable of incredible feats of strength and stamina when under incredible pressure. Likewise shrugging off gunshot wounds. People's experiences in war give us many examples of that. The change in musculature etc could be explained with adrenaline as mentioned - plus think of when body builders pump themselves up before going into a pose, that's very similar.

Actually that's where I think the BW character went wrong in the movie. All of his powers are explainable.... But one. He touched someone and was able to read their mind in a visual flash. Thats an unrepeatable supernatural power in the real world. Every other thing he does could be explained by coincidence or just good luck etc. I felt that was a misstep in the BW film and took it outside the real world.

Oh and I meant BWs powers were supernatural in the classic sense of the word, as in, they arent based in anything that's recognisable in the natural world we live in. His powers can't be replicated in any way in the real world. JMs 'powers' just about could be.

The diabetic bit could have just been a smokescreen, because we only saw that in videos he'd made of himself, that wasnt ever confirmed through a third party. But yea the wall climbing, fair point, that was the one bit where I was hmmmmmm. It wasn't totally smooth (which I felt was the director giving the audience a 'get out' in their head), plus it was a strange thing for the character to have said - I mean as 'a power' it was only something that someone would have found out they could do beforehand, so I kind of justified it in my head as something that he'd 'prepared' as a demonstration of power either to his other personalities or indeed to any of his victims. I mean it was pretty useless, he climbed a wall, albeit very creepily. Hardly being able to read minds etc like the BW character could. But yea, fair point.

Of any cover ever, surely a Cap 1 needs its red! Legit printing defect or no, it looks just plain bad.
