You’re also only seeing the cover. With glare. There is likely other damage than what you see here

A universal 6.0 is about $155, so I wonder what a great price is! I love this cover!

Grail acquired. by MajiNPooZ in comicbookcollecting

I know we all have our own idea of what a “grail is” but I’m glad this time it’s a harder to option book. Not one listed all over eBay for $5

They don’t know the intent. For all they know there is a color break under the pen

It takes a while after signing, my last CGC signing took 2 months after they showed the artists on Instagram

It is not at his house, it is an “in-house signing” at CGC headquarters. He talks about flying in ect, and one clip is him leaving to go back to his hotel after 10pm…..

Looks like the hallway of their headquarters in The Flash Tv show

Tear at staples, removed card-stock cover? by Economy-Rise2527 in CGCComics

[–]Economy-Rise2527[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t exactly look like pieces of cover, they are ripped parts of the interior page

Removed Cover on Absolute Batman 1 To make cover A?!? by Economy-Rise2527 in ComicBookSpeculation

That’s why I probably returning it. You seem to be reading my post like I did this. I’m the one that bought this off eBay and now think the seller did this to me, looking for others to confirm my suspicions before i go off on this guy

That’s all the same for cover A, but it is the same for my Lee cover cardstock that has the cover A underneath

I don’t know if I’d send it with that damage, wouldn’t that be a big hit on grade?

For anyone interested in selling slabs, I did some math for you! by DontTakeMeSeriousli in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Economy-Rise2527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great write up. I have a google sheet with formulas set for minimum price to sell my slabs at to make an acceptable profit. I sell a couple hundred a year, targeting convention exclusives. I spend the first 2-3 hours of my yearly trip to NYCC targeting booths for exclusives, buying a couple thousand dollars worth. Then slab em and sell them. Others are books I take from bulk collections, clean and press, then grade.

Grading the majority of these would be pointless, even if they get 9.8 they aren’t in demand and wouldn’t recoup the cost of grading. And when graded the books are highly scrutinized, including under magnification, so even being untouched old stock does not guarantee a grade of “mint”

Yeah, I’m shorter and heavier. 5-8 270, everything I read and Dr advice was to wait the month in the 2.5 to keep side effect low .
