  1. @AleLuque We will need better scans in order to see the damage or lack thereof on your copy. I would almost be predicting a subscription crease unless the spine is wrecked like the other example.
  2. I do not believe that page coloration will affect grade
  3. Keep them like that. Those are absolutely super cool.
  4. Also, don't forget. some of you need to get laid or get real jobs. I don’t care what list you put me on. Once I sign off again I won’t be back on. Some of yall either need to get laid or get real jobs. It’s not that deep. Have a good one. ChadH
  5. It is very similar to my Saviuk signatures. I believe it is real.
  6. I think there is a good chance that all of the 9.9 SS book are owned by Tony Moore. I was with the Moore's and their rep when they submitted a bunch of his personal copies for SS. I don't remember for certain and I don't have the picture evidence any longer, but my memory is telling me that all three were from Tony Moore's file copies.
  7. This is not exactly the same thing, but I think the market, at some point will differentiate between very clean sigs and sloppy or age-affected sigs. The best example is Stan Lee. Most of his early sigs are clean and classic. As he got older, he moved into the phase where they looked like "Steadle" and then finally, "SBLOB." So Stan's earlier sigs may do better, but it will be because they are cleaner.
  8. I think it is because tons of these FCBD books are in the wild without store stamps. CGC chose to differentiate between stamped and non-stamped.
  9. It looks like you chose books that have covers prominently featuring the characters that the voice actors play. That is very cool. But it is not necessarily standard operating procedure. I used to try to get the highest grade #1 or jam cover done and try to get as many sigs on one book as possible - to get the biggest bang for the SS buck. That is probably more SOP in the SS world. I would say that is why you are doing a lot of "1st done" celeb books.
  10. This post is on point. And it goes beyond losing the fanboy base. My nieces had female friends who were absolute MCU ride or die fans. We are talking 12-17 demographic. They have all moved on because the magic is gone. Blame whatever you want, but for the kids, the draw and the magic is just gone.
  11. I had a book SS'd through Celebrity Authentics very early on in their collab with CGC. They demanded that their COA sticker be placed on the comic instead of on the case as it is done now. The book was a strong 9.8 candidate and it came back 7.5. That, I believe, is a fair benchmark for what the drop would be - at least for a sticker the size of the CA sticker.
  12. RIP to one of my favorites of all time. It takes a special kind of talent to be able to air arm-wrestle with Arnold and also give Adam Sandler "a hand."
  13. This is the kind of post that used to lead to a great thread. I miss you 2012 . . .
