  1. There's nothing wrong with streamable (at least last time I looked), but yeah, this is a bad look for the OP.
  2. How many people have ever disclosed restoration on books they've submitted to CGC? Probably a tiny number, whose books were not graded any more favorably than everyone else's books. The seller already screwed you, now he's screwing with you.
  3. My answer was comical? I'll try to dig up a current bag (although I wouldn't use them for anything, some people I've bought from have) and put a later Bronze (I already acknowledged that early Bronze is larger) Marvel in it, but you then have to show me a 7"+ wide Copper comic. A standard Copper issue, no TMNT or any other funny business. And here it is: 1975 Marvel in a garbage bag. Yes, it barely fits and is far too tight for my liking. That's why I don't use them. 1975 Marvel in a Current bag and board on top of a 1973 Marvel in a Silver bag and board. That's an actual, significant size difference.
  4. The problem is that you're frequently combative and dismiss the correct answers people give you to your questions, even when the answers are so simple that it should be nearly impossible to not understand them.

  6. Excuse me? I posted a simple fact to correct your erroneous initial post and you spit in my face and told me I was the one who didn't know what he was talking about. You are in no position to tell experienced people like me that you know better than us, yet you just can't stop doing it at every opportunity. Your ignorance is not as good as or better than my knowledge. You are the jerk.
  7. As I've posted before (years ago): "Death/Archangel first appears as a monochrome background character (with the rest of the Horsemen) in 21, followed by multiple panels in shadow in 22, then shows his new form and abilities in 23. Then he gets the cover of issue 24, in which his change is revealed to X-Factor. Various characters call him Death, Death Angel, Dark Angel, etc. until he is named "Archangel" by the Beast at the end of issue 38." Warren Worthington III was not a new character and X-Factor 23 fully showed how he had been transformed.
  8. Are you talking about the minor miscuts of the FF and ROM (being slightly wider at the top and bottom, respectively) which can be best seen in the first image? I acknowledged that with "within acceptable production variance" earlier, because there will often be at least minor differences in size between different comics. I know you at least know that comic manufacturing never approached perfection. Also, you know that CGC's "Modern Age" tier of 1975 to current is because of this as well, right? 1975 wasn't chosen at random. Absolutely. Standard comic books in the 80s were not 7+ inches wide. EDIT: This thread is relevant to this tangent as well.
  9. For the original question, it's not just the size, but the quality of materials used that can affect price. I'm looking at you, Marvel.
  10. I literally post PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF (of something everyone should know) and this is the you come up with? I thought you were actually experienced and knowledgeable when it came to comics. There is no "1970s Marvel" in this context. This whole thing started when I posted the SIMPLE FACT that the dimensions of a standard comic book last changed in 1974, in the middle of the Bronze Age.
  11. I wouldn't ever buy whatever anyone calls the smallest, most worthless bags, because they're junk. I can barely accommodate that due to dropping Marvel decades ago. But luckily, Marvel did actually finally continue Gaiman's Miracleman. 1975, 1979, 1982, 1990, 2023: Anything else I can do for you? I am, of course, right. Now, tell me how sorry you are.
  12. Yeah, it's probably me that's wrong rather than you and some garbage you found that some random insufficiently_thoughtful_person wrote online. Because I know absolutely nothing about comics and don't own thousands of comics from 1975 to current that all just happen to be the same size (within acceptable production variance).
  13. I dunno, isn't that cheating to use the Census to actually look up the title and see the different versions that CGC has graded?
  14. Search these forums for "CPV" or "Canadian Price Variants" Or "Canadian Newsstands" in case somebody actually used the correct term instead of whatever they thought would hype them better.
