  1. Maybe a dealer can include it in his repuort. Unlikely though. Comiclink can list their spirou 1071 cgc 9.6 sale i use to read the market reports religiously but ever since I discovered the boards I stopped. It’s basically 1 year behind we’re at 14,000 views
  2. Cap 1 cgc 7.5 Conserved (staples cleaned) would seem like a good deal, good value https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-america-comics-1-timely-1941-cgc-conserved-vf-75-off-white-pages/a/7212-91073.s
  3. Nope blue unrestored was perfect. If you need to know the condition the number is nice and clear on the upper corner of the slab. 0.5 to 10.0. A new collector can distinguish a 0.5 unrestored blue vs a 9.2 unrestored blue. The number on the label is a giveaway. Thus no need I thought this topic was more on the unrestored,restored, qualified and the color of the label that corresponds to it. not time period/rarity
  4. If we can go back in time and polled 10,000 collectors and asked if they wanted their slabs in different color labels the majority would opt for the different colors. Anyone that spends their hard earned money will spend accordingly and do his or her research . The label color doesn’t make a difference to me, it’s the Restored vs unrestored. I find cbcs blue to be deceptive. I’ve seen many instances were eBay sellers trick the buyers into thinking it’s an unrestored blue on a cbcs Restored book. Either by being vague by saying you get what you see. That means if you don’t read what’s on the label then it’s your fault. Which is 100 percent true but very deceptive. I hope Cgc will keep its 3 color designation as is.
  5. The market for restored (purple) vs unrestored (blue) is fluid; its always changing. the hobby is always evolving or changing. For me its restored vs unrestored. Its not unrestored blue vs purple or Blue vs restored blue. If CBCS wants to confuse me by putting both types of book in a blue label then more power to them. I agree to disagree that its no good for me (and i'm sure lots of other collectors). Yes, if i'm gonna spend money, I will stop myself and read that label so that I don't waste money by being tricked
  6. A good model for any business marketing is to have a different color labeling. M & M's yellow = nut inside M & M's black - plain inside. It's best when the masses do not have to read the label. I don't want to eat the wrong M & M's because I didn't read the unicolor M & Ms therefore I love myself the yellow colored M & M over the black colored M & M. That's why there's a marketing department. CBCS marketing gets an F++++++ for having a blue label for restored books
  7. I get that but I've been programmed, I can't erase my programing. i'm proud to own a "blue label" of blah blah grail instead of a purple. The brain is no longer willing to change when it wants what it wants-A blue label over a Purple label. That's one reason I don't want a CBCS label
  8. It should be 1. Blue 2. Green 3. Purple End of discussion 4. Conserved (the blue shade is a bit confusing after 1st glance) CBCS blue label is horrible. hard to argue for it. I myself get tricked all the time, then I read the label closer. I don't like CGC conserved blue label. they should make a different color if they want to designate as being conserved.
  9. It would make a huge difference if overstreet recognizes the sale. It’s not even in the overstreet which means “it doesn’t exist”
  10. Be interesting to see what your overall grade ranges are. The raw ones you have look good too. Most of the raw copies on eBay look to be 4.0 and below
  11. Tales of Suspense 39 CGC 0.5 Signature Series Nice Eye Appeal Cgc label says: Entire book torn in half vertically. Cover and pages reattached with tape $2249 shipped Paypal accepted No list members 1st gets it
  12. Frederic has good taste. Doubt he has as many copies as me though
