  1. Very sorry to hear this. Maybe you can post the scan of the books so that we can all be on the lookout
  2. Yeah no one can stop that. But if it’s still restored I would like it be clear cut restored purple label. Not some blue label that describes the the restoration in small print
  3. Cgc color coding is a good thing. It’s transparent. Cbcs restored blue label is deceiving if presented from across the room you would think you had an unrestored book but on closer inspection...
  4. The all star 8 Cgc 5.0 and 4.0 are too similar to be in the same auction (eye appeal and grade)
  5. Both of the boardies sold them to me already. Part of the sales pitch was “I’m gonna regret selling these since it’ll be hard for me to find in the same grade again” I fell for the sales pitch and took the bite
  6. There’s a couple of other board members That I’ve interacted with that will agree with you.
  7. Sounds reasonable to me. Yeah this book would be classified as a silver age book
  8. I believe in the smurfs as part of pop culture. I’ve hoarded quite a few of these copies and really believe in the book. Will continue to hoard them. Truly believe in it. It doesn’t get the recognition because it’s not a book that originated in the USA so kids didn’t grow up with it. I’m Asian so my Asian relatives grew up with these so I was introduced when I was younger but I never realized that the 1071 contained the 1st smurfs until I joined the boards. There’s many 2nd and 3rd tier characters from marvel/dc that get more respect than these spirou but it might be because most USA collectors are not aware of the existence of spirou. Like I stated before a couple of “expert” big time comic dealers here on the boards didn’t even know these existed

  10. Everyone is discussing the glitches but I also don’t like the mobile and desktop layout of the new comicconnect. The old layout was 100x better. Don’t need to fix it if it’s not broken.
