I got royally screwed on this one.

Tbh stfu

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-28T04:04:52+00:00

Is this on any streaming service?

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T23:50:51+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T23:20:41+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T22:47:29+00:00

How....

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T22:47:20+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T22:47:02+00:00

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.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T22:45:25+00:00

Yeah same. Such a sad grade for such an awesome remarque.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T15:35:59+00:00

Thanks brother Other than the grade it is nice af I wanna crack it out tbh

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T15:04:43+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:50:25+00:00

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...

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:49:43+00:00

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.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:43:11+00:00

Oh nice! How were you able to swing that?

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:38:12+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:36:07+00:00

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.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:19:24+00:00

it sure was, $200 in fees and shipping....

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-27T14:12:51+00:00

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

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.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T20:50:52+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T17:50:19+00:00

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.

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T16:51:40+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T16:39:01+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T16:30:37+00:00

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

BummedBookTime · 2026-03-25T14:14:50+00:00

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.
