I guess it's an accepted part of the slabbed coin hobby. Somebody figured it would work with slabbed comics. Paging RMA for more insight...? On 3/22/2018 at 3:13 PM, Martin Sinescu said: I thought in coins they had a star designation on the grade label which indicated a coin with exceptional qualities for the grade. I think it actually was RMA that suggested CGC adopt this as well. They didn't (or haven't yet) and so someone else has picked up the baton, but. again, it's a very flawed, incomplete service they offer. CGC hasn't moved on this, and probably won't until they establish the obvious other grades first. It would be stupid to have a "9.6+" or "9.6*" grade without the very obvious "9.7" in place first. As MisterX noted, the Certified Acceptance Corporation, or "CAC", looks at slabbed coins, and determines if they are accurately graded or even undergraded, and how nice they look for their grade. This can be, and is, a valuable service to those who can't see the book for themselves in person before buying, and are afraid of picking up "dud grade" books. There are, as extensively noted elsewhere on this forum, many examples of "dud grades." Obviously, they can't account for the inside of the book, but that's not the point. The point is strictly based on eye appeal. Does the book look typical for its assigned grade, or does it look better? That's the reason for the service. There are people who will happily pay a premium for a book that has a superb color strike, for example, despite its technical grade. There are a ton bunch of orange-y Hulk #181s out there...but to have a copy with a deep red strike? That's difficult to show even under the best photographic conditions. It does no one any credit to dismiss the idea, especially with scorn and contempt, in light of the frequent "boy did CGC get THIS wrong" comments that are posted here and elsewhere. EDIT: This is not an endorsement of CVA, by any means. I do not know how well they do what they claim to do. This is simply an endorsement of the idea.

ygogolak Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If you hadn't seen, Eternal's is rumored for the 4th phase of the MCU. That's all it is right now though and I haven't seen it on any credible sites. https://www.screengeek.net/2018/04/05/eternals-movie-rumored-for-mcu-phase-4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) One of my favourite scenes in a Marvel film is the all-too-brief appearance of a Celestial in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not why people are shilling or trying to increase value but why is the seller posting this? Is it noble or a grudge? Anyone know the seller or have a thought?

1Cool Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The guy kind of sounds like a loon. I can't read the serial numbers but it appears he has 7 auctions going for the same book (unless he has 7 9.8s). Does he have any copies at all or is it all a public warning? ___ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aweandlorder Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just when you think movie rumor/spec is dead, something like Eternals happen. Im not hating or supporting, just reflecting. I understand (not really, more like came to terms with) when theres a rumor about a movie, then hype, and the cover just happens to have a variant by a hot artist and theres some sort of speculation on print run. This... This is just an abomination Again, Im not hating on Eternals fans, or Kirby fans. I have a copy listed on eBay, so Im not bitter. But this is definitely a weird one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmiesta Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Let's be honest, most of us wouldn't have wiped our chocolate starfish with a copy a month or so ago, now because of a movie rumour, numpties are shelling out small fortunes for them, I say to those that have copies, take advantage now.
