richard8158 replied to RegistryAdministrator's topic in CGC Registry
Hi Mollie, Could you please expand the Green Arrow 2016 series to include all variant issues? There is a variant for every issue up through #36 (that's as far as I have gone). I have variants in CGC right now for 1, 2, 4, 6. 9, 11 - 28. Also please include in the expansion Annual #1 (1247215016). Thanks for all that you do! Rich -

Great books! -
The latest upgrades to my GI Combat set!!
richard8158 commented on richard8158's journal entry in richard8158
I've seen that 8.5 #76 on eBay and CLink for the last couple of years, one of two in that grade. I would love to have it but just a bit pricey for what it is in my opinion. Looks like he declined an offer of $825 on CLink some time ago. I have a 7.5 and I guess it will have to do for now. -
Sad to hear about your loss. What a terrible spot to find yourselves in. Good luck.

The latest upgrades to my GI Combat set!!
richard8158 commented on richard8158's journal entry in richard8158
Thank you both! -
I had been eyeing some of these for a while so I finally put some of my extras on eBay to help fund the purchase. The first six were buys so I was able to negotiate a better price but the last two were auctions, so I paid dearly for them. There was someone who wanted them nearly as much as I did. All of them are the highest graded and five of them are the single highest graded. To view the set: https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/Comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=80699

Couple of new additions
richard8158 commented on Shadow Images's journal entry in Shadow Images Batman Quest
I do something similar to you for my graded GI Combat set. My list is 6 1/2 pages long and has cert. numbers with date, grade and rank (in colors:-)) since I always seem to be upgrading. Forty years ago I probably wouldn't have needed to write any of this stuff down.....maybe just a little OCD too. -

Hi Mollie, Could you please add "Rebirth" Aquaman and Green Arrow 2016 sets? Thanks -
Hello Mollie, Could you please expand the 2011 Green Arrow set to include issue #47, the poly-bagged sketch edition (0289525013)? Thank you!

Both of these came through eBay! The 168 (1974) is an Adams cover and the 199 (1977) is Kubert. Both with white pages!

War From Neal Got this one the other day from eBay. Highest graded (1 of 3) with white pages. This was the first of only three, 168, 201 and 204.

How does this turn into this turn into THIS?
richard8158 commented on eMTe's journal entry in How does this turn into this turn in to THIS?
I used CCS twice. The first time the book didn't look like it was pressed. The second time I sent in a book, it was ruined. They did refunded most of what I had into the book, but in the end, I owned a low grade overpriced book. Needless to say I found another presser. 2017 seems to be a particularly tough year for grading for CGC and inconsistency has always been an issue. Recently I sent in 4 books that had been graded previously by CGC (all 9.6) - the second time I got back a 9.8, a 9.6, a 9.4 and a 9.2. Not really terrible but bothersome. What bugs me most about your story is the difference in the pics of the comics. -
What a great copy and journal Professor! You have a real gem there!

2017 NEW COMPETITIVE SET REQUEST
richard8158 replied to RegistryAdministrator's topic in CGC Registry
Hi Mollie, Could you please add G.I. Combat - 2012 2nd series? The full set consists of #0 - #7 with a single variant of #1 (I only have #1 - #4 now) thanks -
Single highest graded and one of the last couple before DC took over. Only 3 of this number have been graded so far. These are easily found in low grade, but high grades are very scarce. The black covers make it even tougher.

Nope. You live near there?

We drove to Dover this morning to attend the comic con, about an hour each way. I live in Milton Delaware where we don't even have a LCS. Lots of costumes, food but not a lot of comics. Most were priced at $1 - $3, with very few silvers or golds. Lots of artists though and plenty of novelties. Harry potter wand booth, toys everywhere, costume contest and all kinds of neat crafts. The stay puft marshmallow man (turns out to be a woman) looks a bit deflated and smaller than I remember. It was a fun time!

GI Combat 152,This arrived yesterday! An upgrade for my set. Highest grade, 1 of 3. Almost sounds like a Borg designation! Anyway picked this one up from eBay for a reasonable price. If anyone has something higher than what I have in my set, and you might consider selling it, let me know! Thanks!

Just picked this one up from eBay last week. One of two in this grade and only seven graded in total.

Have these slabs been tampered with?
richard8158 commented on midnightwanderer's journal entry in joe khashi
I just looked at some of mine and they have those marks too. Must be from the manufacturing process. -

Impeding traffic

I thought impeding traffic citations were for little old ladies going 35 on the beltway... -
Anybody else?
