  1. Same crowd that's dropping large coin on Golden Record Reprints?
  2. Let’s say he/she negotiated 0% commission. It’s $15k prior to BP so $1000 win. Then if there were any additional costs at Windy City, shipping/insurance to Heritage, etc. Unless you’re saying some of that BP can be adjusted as well. Was the Windy City copy the Edwards copy?
  3. Is that’s the same copy from Windy City for $14k the consignor barely made any money, perhaps lost some.
  4. I feel bad for this man; he routinely has a horrible migraine.
  5. I'm unsure of when the original art was created, but there is Dread of Night from 1991.
  6. There are a lot of pages to read through here... Can someone summarize what socio-geo-political issue we're trying to solve on the MARVELS (2023) sub-forum of the CGC message board?
  7. I didn't know this is where the fun is at. I have LOGICAL questions which need answering and won't stop until they are answered: Does Roy have a day job? This is the "reserved" version of Roy? There's a PURGE-based theme park? Isn't The Villages the sex capital of the world?
  8. the ones I aforementioned I learned, probably too late, that the card from Simpsons #4, by itself, at times sells for more than the comic with the card. Different category, I suppose.
  9. Are those *more* Chuck 2 convention editions or the ones you mentioned previously?
  10. I think Susan Ciccone was doing leaf-casting on comics before Kenny, but who knows? Dry grafting is something else entirely. And I misread Mike's post. It didn't go from Purple to Blue, it stayed Purple, but he was able to get trimming removed from the label. So if a book was Purple for trimming and nothing else, conceivably it could be turned into a book that CGC would grade Blue. Seems like a game-changer. But maybe others do it as well? Is this like the early days of pressing when people were doing it and not talking about it? Has this ever been discussed over in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues? I talked to Mike about the process and was about to send him a book for similar treatment, but then Hero imploded and he went dark. So glad I didn't send him that book. Expand If a book was purple for trimming and nothing else and it had leaf casting done to add back what the trimming took off, then I would think it would still state "pieces added" on the label, and therefore still get a purple label. I have no idea the notes on the original Batman #1, the the worked-on slab has these notes. The bold may indicate trimming is no longer an issue but now there are pieces added; unsure as I don't have original notes and outside of trimming there is a lot going on with this book. Label Text Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, reinforced, cleaned, interior lightened. rader Notes cleaned color touch on cover color touch on interior interior lightened interior reinforced pieces added cover A-5 pieces added interior A-3 small stain right center of front cover soiling cover
