Some XMen books. 

 

Very nice. I’ve been looking for #133 for over a year and still haven’t found one. 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Dang I just noticed this is mislabeled 

It's not supposed to be thunder(s) plural....

It's now set apart in the registry as its own.... category....

There are headed copies of thor: ages of thunder but no $4.99 Newsstand 

And now there is this thor: ages of thunders and it's the $4.99 Newsstand 

Ah man....

Wow thats crazy! Someone at CGC was asleep at the wheel when they labeled it. You can re-send it and have the label corrected, right?

More than likely I'm sure it's just a hassle, I don't know if there is a time limit on it either, as this came back in June and I'm still not sure when I'll get around to it....

I sent off an email, but what a drag

I was looking to add it to the registry but that may have to wait until the census updates etc

There’s no time limit as far as I know. I bought a few slabbed books off of eBay months ago and both had different types of “debris” inside.

I sent an email and was guided through the entire process by a very helpful rep. They’ll pay for all costs including shipping. 
 

It was a lot faster turnaround than I thought as well. Maybe a month altogether and this was at the height of the pandemic.

Since the news on Milestone Comics, I picked up this (not sure what to make of it in actuality)

I have a couple DC SDCC ones from the 90s on my ebay

Still surprised there's only one of these on the census:

Cool comic, possibly posted in the wrong thread?

newsie means newsstand edition typically indicates by a different style barcode

Thanks for liking this post @fastballspecial it would have been difficult to pinpoint where and when I posted. Advertised as 6.0....@ThothAmon check out what it came back as! 

So it's not totally as bad as my other 5.5 ASM #606 $3.99 Newsstand 

They really need someone proofing the copy in the barcode box

What do you mean? who does? the LCS?

If so, they need someone to grade a little better too. I've had advertised 9.0's come back 8.0, 9.4's come back as well 9.2 but that's ok......a 6.0 to 8.0 makes up for it I guess  

I bought a Malibu Sun advertised as 9.0 and fairly priced, came back an 8.0  but  they mean well and are only 1 grade off or spot on most of the time....

I have a 1st frightful four raw from them as 4.0, I have a feeling now that it's in hand that it is only 3.0

and these aren't "in store sales"  they're over the video, so not real good pics
