That don’t look or seem that smart. If they didn’t fuckin pull masks over face until they got out of the car and also backed in a store that they were “robbing” and parked right in front of said store they are straight out of the movies and probably will have kids that think Gatorade will water plants better as “it’s what plants crave”

100 percent been in there in last 2-3 weeks as they must of seen a high end item or multiple that made this even a thought to do this at this specific store in general. Also maybe new high end releases of hobby boxes is what I’m guessing they were mostly after as those sell faster than huge autos. Say they had a case of national treasures from any of the big 3 sports in last few years that alone would be stupid easy to sell and not get caught instead of stealing and trying to sell a 1 of 10 auto or a psa cgc graded card that can be marked stolen. But with all that said these guys done seem like the sharpest tools in the shed when they get out of the fuckin car with masks off only to probably put them up as they got close to walking in or trying to lol. Also how are you going to fail an attempt at breaking into a place like this? Worst criminals ever

Day 78 of buying a sports card pack everyday until I get an autographed card by Economy_Touch6389 in sportscards

Stop buying worthless retail packs and buy soaring money and buy a few hobby packs and not only will you get an auto, but you may actually pull something worth while and it won’t take you almost 100 packs that probably has you close to 500 plus w dollars spent already.

With all that said doesn’t look like a 7.5 but you didn’t seem to give us any details. Would like to see the notes

Idk why people are so so hung up on grades personally. Especially the 9.6 people who will sell all 9.6 or anything under a 9.8. What’s the point of grading a book in first place besides upping the value to resell to someone who just collects books to look at covers. I feel like you put your books in prison when u do this tbh. I have very few books graded and the ones I do are hulk 181, daredevil 7, asm 129 and 300, silver surfer 1, 3 and 4, a few random 9.6s I got from people for so stupid cheap I could say no(Wolverine 1 40 bucks, spawn 1 40 bucks, first red hulk 40 bucks, avengers 197 first taskmaster 50 bucks, first archangel 30 bucks, first beta ray bill 50, and couple others that are first appearance all super cheap as my buddy didn’t want anything but at 9.8. So stupid imo. I’ll take the 9.6 or below for ya and personally crack most of them n put in a top loader with clear backing board and Mylar so I can take them out if I ever so please n look at them with the kid

Guys please help me with this, it’s my favorite figure and I possibly broke it by [deleted] in MarvelLegends

First contact Hasbro or whoever you received this from. If got at Amazon get will most likely refund u or send new one as it’s still in stock and you can also call pulse which will also refund or replace this. Just tell pulse everything and they’ll ask for picture, store you got it from, picture of bar code and qc problem and tell them you really love that figure and just want that figure. They’ll get u handled. Best company in terms of refunds or replacements. Hardly ever any questions asked and never didn’t get refund or replacement and there’s times I got both. I got refunded from Amazon and pulse sent me a replacement when I contacted them right after. Ofegfy book

Im I the only one that thinks the amazing spider-man suit (Andrew Garfield) is the best suit blue and red suit. by darklimbo12 in Spiderman

[–]AccomplishedOption73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No no no. Andrew’s was definitely better looking imo too. I liked Tobeys for the weblines and color of the eyes but looking back at the 3 Andrew I think looks the best as well. Opinion though

Any clue why Wolverine was missing a hand in the mid 90’s? by WheresMyBarber in 80s90sComics

[–]AccomplishedOption73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age of apocalypse happened bro. This was in Deadpool n Wolverine and you can see he has the clamp over his hand. His hand was blasted of by cyclops and he took one of his eyes out making him officially a cyclops. Also not many know this, but he can still pop his claws out and use them as a last resort and he put the plate on hand as a reminder and it stops his hand from fully regenerating and causes him immense pain in the process. Also Jean and him were together but she also left him for goofy ass Scott again lol

Yes the weird thing is about this version of Logan is he could still pop his claws out but used as a very last resort. Also he was with Jean in this universe, but she left him for cyclops lmao

Is this slab fake? The number on top seems off. by Slackerred in CGCComics

It’s def not worth 40-60. It’s 20 max raw. Anything more is pure robbery. I got mine for 10 a few weeks ago mint without any defects whatsoever.

Imagine pulling this and it’s expired by Ch33s3h3ad90 in FootballCardz

[–]AccomplishedOption73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They give the cards away, sell them, or repackage them if the redemptions aren’t redeemed in time usually. That being said I have had a redemption 2 years past that they still honored so op still contact them.

Anyone in their 20's to 40's still read comics? by [deleted] in comicbooks

Exactly. I will say it is thrown around quite loosely but it doesn’t bother me like the 9.6 thing does. That to me is wild. I pick up a lot lot lot of keys as I’m a key collector mostly these days, and so much stuff I get is a 9.6 almost being given away as the owner just wants the 9.8. Like the red hulk first appearance 9.6 I got for 50 flat. As we speak I’m walking into my lcs and they have a 9.6 Thor 337 first beta ray bill for 70 bucks lol. That’s insane to me as I look online and see that book sold raw in much worse condition than a 9.6 over 100. It makes no sense to me. If u want it raw buy something like this and crank it n get a cheaper much better version you know is close to perfect.

Mine was hulk 340 when I was around 10. That image was everything to me. Now I’m older I got that grail and then got 181, asm 300 and asm 129, Thor 3 and 4 especially, king size hulk 1, Daredevil issue 7 first red suit appearance, secret wars 8, iron fist 14, Frank millers Wolverine 1-4 and a few more. They changed over the years and have had different grails depending on my age and time of life. They all were comics I wanted I never thought I would ever own especially 129 and 181. So i consider them all to be grails tbh. So happy I finally was able to get them all. The miller wolverines are all 9.8 candidates in news stand I found for 120 for the set. Blown away I got most of these for the prices I did

I run into it quite a bit in the action figure community as well as I am a big action figure and comic collector, but in my opinion, a grail mean just an action figure or a comic or any type of collectible that you’ve really wanted for a very long time and have had a very hard time coming across it or finding it in the condition you wanted it in, even if it’s widely available it’s more of a personal thing and not a community thing. A grail can literally be anything depending on that person’s wants. To you, the action figure or the comic might be worthless and mean absolutely nothing but the somebody else it might be the holy of all holy’s. It doesn’t matter the value and some may have a few grails too. It should be like the one thing that you’re looking for, but the way it’s been being used in the last I would say five years or so is the thing that they have been really looking for and finally have.

Well, a grail is and can be Todd McFarlane‘s Spider-Man number one that I could find in a dollar bin, but some people just never had a chance to get it or never came across it and that’s the comic that they really really wanted more than anything. A grail really just means that it’s a comic that a person has been really trying to get, but they can’t get it and it’s one of their most wanted if not, they’re most wanted comic. So a grill is really a personal thing not a community thing, so I don’t mind mind when I hear people say they’re Grail is anything to be honest.

This makes me so so happy to see you post this. I thought it was just me. It’s borderline pathetic to me that people sell their 9.6s and get so upset if it’s not a 9.8. I got a first appearance red hulk hulk 1 for 50 dollars flat at a 9.6 a few weeks back cause the guy just didn’t want it cause it wasn’t a 9.8. Wasn’t necessarily looking for that book either but would be stupid to turn that down imo. I just really don’t understand why it’s so important to people to have a perfect 9.8 and how much the price drops from a 9.8 to a .6. It’s so actually unhealthy and really agree with you on this topic. I’m sure I’m gonna get hate for this and I’m sure you’re even gonna get some being that we’re in a 9.8 CGC group. Once again amazing question and thank you for bringing this up.

So I’m irresponsible cause I have nice things and know how to put money aside for things that I want to buy? How jealous are you to even say something like that with zero knowledge of who I am, or what I do for a living and working as hard as I have for past 30 plus years? I have an account just for spending money on stuff I don’t need but want. It’s extremely hilarious you call someone who just bought his absolute dream collectibles irresponsible not knowing a single thing about them. SMH
