  1. @mycomicshopWondering if you have any plans to improve the color quality of your scans? Thanks Real life vs Your scans:
  2. It sucks but I wouldn't risk sending the books back through the mail two more times
  3. What does it say if there is only one copy graded and it's a 9.8? Probably not rare in high grade
  4. This one I bought from Joseph Koch Comics on eBay around 2002 for maybe $12-$20. Slabbed it in 2014, sold it in 2020. My baby is all grown up!
  5. Nice book! I bought this raw off Metro's website for $93 in 2011, had it slabbed in 2019 and later sold it here on the boards
  6. If CGC does not have this already, they should have a program where they buy a certain amount of graded books per year in the market, examine them, and release them back into the market. Kind of like wildlife monitors who catch animals, tag them, and monitor their health from time to time. Except with different books each time.
  7. Anyone have thoughts about how a CGC employee's duties could include receiving and verifying items from eBay? Does CGC deal on (what in the financial world would be called) a proprietary account?
  8. I can only find the doc behind a paywall. If anyone has a public source please post it here - thanks
  9. Came across this & thought folks here might find it of interest https://www.marketwatch.com/story/thats-rich-a-richie-rich-comic-sold-for-108-000-last-year-more-will-soon-be-auctioned-off-d1af95c7 Don't think there's a paywall but here are the first 3 paragraphs This ‘poor little rich boy’ is becoming a sensation among comic-book collectors Last Updated: Jan. 27, 2024 at 10:13 a.m. Published: Jan. 24, 2024 at 4:25 p.m. ET By Charles Passy A Richie Rich comic sold for $108,000 last year — more will soon be auctioned off Philip Cole’s collection of classic Richie Rich comic books is being auctioned off next month. He is shown here holding his copy of Richie Rich No. 1. Collectors of comic books have long obsessed about Superman, Spider-Man and the broader array of superheroes. And that has led to surging prices for some titles, including sales that have topped $3 million for the rarest ones. But now some collectors are turning their attention to an entirely different type of comic-book character and asking the question: Is it possible to get rich off Richie Rich? Yes, Richie Rich, the character otherwise known as “the poor little rich boy” and the namesake behind a line of kiddie-oriented comic books that were popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
