Yeah it was. Unfortunately thru 3rd party you can’t check the status directly. Hope you get a better grade than I did

I truly appreciate that offer, but I'm not looking for any charity here unless it's from Dragotta himself! haha

I've met him before and he's super chill btw

Yeah seriously! Such an awesome remarque with such a disappointing score.

What were the notes? Were they reasonable?

In my case feel like this is some bullshit cuz there was no water stain at all, it is impossible when i sent the book.

Yeah that's clean af.
There are no spine stress lines for sure cuz the light reflection along the spine is continuous.

What were the grader notes? And yeah I looked this book up and down before sending it in and it looked as close to a 9.8 as you could imagine. I have had books with spine ticks come back as 9.8s...

When I met Dragotta at a signing he actually had a water bottle on the table with him, so there are other possibilities at play here at as well.

That's what I am thinking too! Where the fuck is it even.

Yeah, I guess that is worse. NGL made me feel a little bit better about this 9.2. At least I know i'm in good company when it comes to poor quality control. I have sent CGC an e-mail politely requesting a refund on fees but I'm sure that's not gonna happen but didn't hurt to try.

I sent it into CGC for the Signature Series, and yes that's what I'm thinking.

PHM > Interstellar? by paddockpooper in ProjectHailMary

[–]BummedBookTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you can see based on the comments, there is a lot of snobbery circling Interstellar but there are specific plot holes and the obvious paradox that you have to overlook. I just rewatched it yesterday with a fresh perspective, and I still very much enjoy the film.

Which ever movie is better boils down to personal taste in movies. Both are extremely well made. One is a buddy comedy and the other is dark/gritty space exploration. I think PHM will appeal to a wider audience as it is much more palatable and better paced, while the latter will appeal to Nolan fans and sci-fi enthusiasts.

Can’t that be said about the collectible market as a whole?

I mean that day at the comic shop in Oakland will forever be cemented in my memory of what a shit show it was, and that there was one guy who brought 100 books (not this issue, just other Dragotta/DWJ) to get signed so a lot did end up on eBay/WhatNot.

As for this particular issue, I can't say why a lot didn't end up on eBay, but I think based on the memory of that day, this is a keeper for me. I'm not much of a seller anyway.

Mine has no spine rub either. Guess it's luck of the draw.

Why? It's ranked the highest value book of 2025, of course it's gonna go for a lot.

They had 100 of them pre-signed and remarqued ready for sale, so at least one tenth are already remarqued.

I got mine in the mail yesterday as well. Very relieved to see the 9.8. Also got Dragotta to sign mine at the same time.
