One final note on this page of weird posts...

If you look back at pages 673 and 674 of the club you'll see my AF15.

 

The original intent of my post(s) was to prove or show that if you look around you can find

copies with much better eye appeal than the label shows. Now, was cgc off when they graded my AF15? Maybe...Maybe not.

 

I still feel they were off a bit. I was originally going to crack it out to resubmit it, but decided this could be risky due to the tearing at the lower left staple (See Page 674).

 

Before I purchase a high dollar book I often (if I can) take the same book in a different grade and put them side by side. At the con where I bought my Af15 I placed it next to a metropolis 5.0 (Covering the CGC Grade) and most said...They look identical (different PROS and CONS) they are both 4.5 to 5.5 people said. Mine was a 4.0 the Metro was the 5.0 (both BLUE mine had better PQ)

 

This are just things that helped me find the best AF15 for my $$$

and I hope they help someone else on this forum.

No offense to CGC as they are the best graders out there!

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

 

I have 10 copies of New Mutants 98 that are CGC 8.0's, but I can crack them out and trade them to you as 9.4's.

 

I am trying to trick......whoops( :whistle:) I mean trade with people to acquire my personal copy of Hulk #1.

 

Will you help?

A few more months and I will be back in the club.

 

Must be some kind of copy you are working on Joey. I'm already jealous

 

For me it's nice, for others a grail...and yet others and under copy.

 

Picked it up from a tall lean Texan.

 

(thumbs u

 

I'm excited for you, and I love me some tall lean Texans that sell AF 15s to buddies of mine

 

:)

 

Here it is. I cannot tell you how much of a surprise it was opening the box up yesterday and getting this. Mr. Evans is a class act all the way and has restored some of my faith that there are genuinely good people out there.

Great book Joey!!

 

So, been out of the loop for awhile. What constitutes the CGC "green" labels now?

 

I still have my 2.0 although I may have to sell it, but hopefully I can sell other stuff and keep this as it's my grail!!

Congrats Joey, A beautiful copy. How did it get a blue label and not a green?

 

Found this CGC article awhile back explaining this;

 

Frequently Asked Questions – Signature Series

 

How does CGC grade books that have been signed, but not witnessed?

 

Basic rule-of-thumb is if the book is mid-grade or lower, or if the signature is on the inside of the book, it will get a Universal label with grading text that would read something like: “Name written on cover/nth page in marker.”

 

If the book is high-grade the signature would be the qualifier, hence the Qualified label. The grading text in that case would read something like: “NAME WRITTEN ON COVER IN MARKER.” (Qualifiers are always in CAPS on the Qualified label)

 

The Universal label would be inclusive of the Signature as a defect and the book would be graded accordingly. Since the book is mid-grade, the signature would not warrant the use of a qualifier because the signature, in our standards, would be an acceptable defect in that grade.

 

The Qualified label would ignore the major defect (in this case the signature) in the grade and would reflect the grade of the book. We only use the Qualified label for specific defects and if the difference in grades between being Universal or Qualified is big enough to warrant it.

Well, take me off the list. :( Had to sell my 2.0 to help pay a huge tax bill, and funding my own comic book. BUT I vow to be back on this list within 18 mo's!

 

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear...my wife and I are buying a house and I've had to sell a few books to help fund things and it wasn't fun. But I try to remind myself that half the fun of collecting is the chase...hopefully you'll be able to join the club again with a 2.0+ copy!

:news: After 4 months, a negligent list updater returns (:blush:)--and there's been some commotion in the Amazing Fantasy #15 Club...

 

:gossip: 18 more folks recently landed copies--and thereby joined (or re-joined) the Club. They're listed directly below and on the Master List as well. A couple folks left the Club, one of them (cujobyte) vowing to return. :preach: One transitioned from raw to slabbed (eriqui) while another went from the land of blue to yellow (Dave258).

I have sold my copy now too.

 

:thumbsup: Right. I have that noted in my text up top, but just haven't updated the master list yet.

 

EDIT: Master List now updated. Anything needing correcting or amending, anybody? If so, either post in the thread or PM me and I'll take care of it.

Was unaware that GAtor picked up a 7.5.

 

How the heck do you go to a specific page to view a book on the Boards? (shrug)

 

I didn't know for the longest time myself and will NOT confess as to how I got to a page # (:blush:)...

 

Just look up at the URL (the web address at top of your screen) and at the very end you'll see digits that relate to pg. #. So, as I'm looking up now, I'm seeing 744. Just backspace a few spaces, deleting the 744 if you want to hop to, say, page 507, type in 507, and then push enter and...presto! :banana:
