An article with 72 examples: https://vocal.media/geeks/super-smash-covers-72-times-comic-book-logos-got-absolutely-demolished

I just realized this a few years ago (it maybe would have been more obvious if I had been collecting at the time, but I didn't start reading comics until a few years later), but on this cover, BRB destroys the decades-old logo, necessitating the implementation of a new logo on the cover of the next issue. I don't know if there are other examples of that.

Another good example of this:

Since you're aware that the book is out there with an incorrect label, would CGC consider not only removing the pedigree info from the database (which you've done), but also including some sort of notation that the label is wrong, so it's clear to someone looking it up what the situation is (since CGC can't force the return of the book)?

Correct.

I sent in a batch of 25 books in May. When I got them back, I had to send 10 back for ME. All of them had cracks in one side of the case, in the same spot, suggesting there was some sort of mechanical issue with their encapsulator that was perhaps applying too much pressure? All of these except one was an oversized book, with the thicker case. 40% failure rate on this submission. When I got back the ME submission, 8 of those 10 had various issues, including different cracks, or debris encapsulated with the book. 80% failure rate on those books. When I got back the second ME submission, 4 of the 8 had some severe scuffing on the case, and another was cracked. I usually let a little scuffing go, but these were 9.8 books, and the scuffing made it look like the book was damaged or dirty. 62.5% failure rate on those. Just got back those 5. 3 of the 5 have plastic shards inside. One of those shard is more than an inch long. Not sure how you miss those. So those will be going back. 60% failure rate. If the trend holds. I'll need to send 2 of the 3 books back again, and then 1 of those 2 the next time. Then I guess it's a coin flip whether that one has no issues.

Rarely. If you bought the NYCC Exclusive of the Enormous #1 (Second print) and got it graded at 9.8, you could have flipped that for about $500. (Not so much now, since the option fell through.) Convention exclusives that were panel giveaways can be worth money. The Black Panther Campbell partial sketch variant was a convention exclusive giveaway. And I just got this at NYCC this year: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=spawn+universe+sampler&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1

Since it appears to be created on a typical board for comic art, I would guess that it's a house ad, rather than art for a magazine or other non-comic size publication

That contrast *might* just be a limitation of the coloring production process pre-computer coloring.

The same could be said for 1977's Star Wars #1

Is there something I'm missing about the color? His right arm above the elbow looks like it's bent into two segments, and the left one looks too long, but I figured since this is a thread about coloring, it's not the anatomy that's the reason for posting this.

This isn't really a solution for people who live in cities and don't own a car. It's enough of a pain when I need to walk to FedEx with a 10-book ME delivery; Trying to walk a mile back with a 25-book shipment isn't going to happen.

Yep. That happened with my delivery this week. I work from home and was here the whole time. On days when I'm expecting a package, I'll occasionally refresh the tracking, because half the time they'll just drop packages in the lobby of my building and I wan't to make sure I get them if the tracking indicates that the item has been delivered. But this week, I refreshed the tracking and they claim an attempt was made about 10 minutes prior. There's no way I wasn't going to hear my bell if they tried that. I called the FedEx phone number and complained. The rep kept apologizing, but I kept repsonding that I wasn't interested in an apology, I wanted an explanation as to why that happened. They always say that they'll investigate to ensure it doesn't happen again, but it keeps on happening.

This happens with about half of my CGC deliveries. I call and complain every time, and always get the same "We'll make sure it doesn't happen again" BS.

Yeah, since this is a thread about color, I guess that's the error we're meant to spot, and not that there's no good reason that the right side of his cape is in the air, considering that his right hand is around her shoulder. (I looked for the meme/diagram explaining this, but couldn't quickly find it.)

Well, I saw today some of the changes that are coming. My Milestone Registry set was just broken up into a number of different sets; one each for the ongoing series, and then one for all of the miniseries and one-shots.

The market only determines which book is more desirable. Wolverine's first appearance will always be on the last page of 180.

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing that it should be cover price.

Never been there, but that's also not far from St Mark's new location.

Not a whole lot of Golden Age there (or Silver, despite the name), but the prices are pretty good.

St. Mark's Comics is now in Industry City in Brooklyn. Nice place to hang out for a day. Stopped by there for a beer on a bike ride through Brooklyn recently.

That was my basic point. The current prices seem to have the best case scenario baked into the price. Okay, maybe not *best* case (like, if he was to become the next Deadpool or Wolverine, then $800 for a low-printed first appearance in great), but best *reasonable* case.

Maybe he just likes arguing on the internet. Maybe we all like arguing on the internet.
