  1. Is there a link you can site / post? Tried Google and couldn't find any new info.
  2. As someone who never purchased or read anything from Ed Piskor, but who has experienced depression to the point of needing treatment, I feel sorry he felt so alone in that moment. Just make sure to check in with your friends and hug your homies. "The rate for males was 22.8 and 5.7 for females in 2021. The number of suicides for males in 2022 was 2% higher than the 38,358 deaths in 2021. For females, the 2022 number rose 4% from 9,825 deaths in 2021." https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2023/11/29/2022-suicide-rate-historical-chart-comparison-graphic/71737857007
  3. Thank you for sharing. I preordered the softcover.
  4. First and foremost I want to make this perfectly clear, I am not in any way excusing or condoning the actions he was accused of, but honest question - What would you consider the harshest punishment a person should receive for something that isn't considered a crime?
  5. As someone who collects signature series books I have my fingers crossed that a unique label color is created to distinguish 'witnessed' v. 'verified' signatures. My concern with an entire label being yellow is that it would dilute the Signature Series 'brand'. There's a lot of 'power' in a trusted brand / process. Part of the the Signature Series 'brand' is the process and the label color. As suggested in this thread: Full orange labels for 'verified' signatures. Yellow labels with an orange stripe for witnessed + 'verified' signatures. (doing this would begin to eliminate the stigma of green labels, plus cause a wave of new submissions) Either way I foresee an influx of new submissions as statistically SS resells for more money versus of the other guys. So get ready for people buying cheap witnessed (and verified) slabs from the other guys and then cracking / pressing / submitting / grading with CGC.
  6. Happy to see this resolution. The presumption regarding the post-its was exactly what I thought as well while reading your post. Good on Official Pix for saying that they will attempt to right this wrong.
  7. Any word? Been another couple of weeks of withholding submissions whist waiting to find out about the new labels.
  8. Just back from the Official Pix private signing from last year. Thread title and all...

  10. I've posted this elsewhere in another delivery thread, but I have my packages delivered to a relative's house due to my travel / work schedule. (visit them once a month or so to pick up my various packages) If no one is home FedEx will usually attempt twice, but on the third time without fail they will sign my name.
  11. February Modern Slow Boat Received by CGC 2/22 Shipped 2/28 Four business days for non-fast track! You have to love pre-"con season" turnaround times.
  12. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Any way to reach out to them? I'm holding back submitting stuff just in case custom labels get announced.
  13. Such a great conversation. An aside, David was SO good in Beef.
  14. Image updated. They added the Free Comic Book Day custom label at the bottom of all the images.
  15. It's always hard when it comes to movies about a perfect one. I can point to perfect casting / directing / scripts / scenes / etc...but to combine all of those into one piece of media...is...tough. 'There Will Be Blood' is usually my response.
  16. Is it me or is today's CGC 'news' article just reposting the same labels from last year? What has been updated? https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/7873/
  17. I agree, but also know people will find a way. For example, in college I worked for a major toy store no longer in business. I collected comics / cards / toys and was active on eBay. I was able to get ALL the HTF hot toys before they hit the shelf with my discount. That was within our rules. *I* never sold any of the items as that was against the rules. What I did do was trade at my LCS or have my partner list the items using their eBay username. Largest ROI were Hot Wheels...and Tickle Me Elmos. Where there are low wage jobs with strict rules, there is someone 'following the rules' but to their fiscal benefit.
  18. Thank you. Thank you. Added to my wish list. Going to reach out to the seller regarding the UV protection rating on these bags. Appreciate it.
  19. Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can let me know what MyLite2 is best for CGC's magazine holder. (couldn't find any examples on eBay or Amazon) Thank you in advance.
