Looks good- did you flatten and smooth the casting before hanging over rod?

I don't buy graded comics 😊 RAW ONLY

Looks like they graded the signature on Superman

Even if it’s a book I really want and looks great, not paying as much for a cbcs label as I do cgc. Just not as acceptable, to me.

Still think paying companies to grade ANYTHING is just a waste of time and money. People just pay for grades and that is stupid. ALL GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE - PERIOD!!

Why are you grading these books? It's not like they're X-men 1's or Hulk 181's...

Extremely annoying loudmouth. NO SUB. EVER!!

ART is for original art books. It means the ART has been certified as authentic. I think B means verified signature and ungraded. It means you didn't fill the form out correctly. You have to pay a fee for the grading AND pay a fee for the original art or signature verification service. Or if you did pay both fees, they screwed up and need to have the books returned to resolve, at their expense. Also, some items can't be graded, but that shouldn't be a problem here, since they were comics. Say you had an artist do a sketch on a backer board, you could get that encapsulated with the ART grade showing it is authentic, but you can't grade a backerboard, so even if you fill that service out on the form, they wouldn't do it. But price wise, and example of the signature book would have been to pay for the selected grading service PLUS $25 I think for the signature verification to get the yellow label. So right now, 30 day grading is $22 + $25 for signature verification. You would have paid $47 plus the shipping charges. If this was a witnessed signature at a con, and you paid their for them to witness, I think the fee is just $8 instead of $25. So check your invoice and see what you were charged...

Are you going to try PSA?

Happy Thanksgiving! Bummer on the books, keep us updated please! I haven't sent anything to CGC since the damaged books and have not submitted to CBCS. Might be sending to PSA next year, not sure yet.

Man, I feel for you. I hate when I have to spend more time trying to figure out why folks do what they do. Best of luck and happy holidays.

The inner well is a couple of millimeters too long. There are actually two, plastic notches in the case just below the label -- one on each side, that hold the top of the inner well up, and in place. The inner well is just kinda floating around in there, but typically squeezed too tight, vertically. This is why most slide back and forth, side to side. This needs to be entirely re-designed.

Interesting to see the process. Very intriguing work 👍👍. Looking forward to further updates. 🤙

What's the average price

AWESOME

I meet him in Boston his hands where shaken he obviously can’t draw anymore so he should just write and sign or something. He should not destroy his reputation as his artwork pre 2000 is special

Franks art has always been terrible Neal Adams knew it The Elektra Saga from Miller she has such a horrid looking face People complained about the Alex Ross Timeless Elektra cause it wasn’t as sexy as Greg Horn would do But whatever Frank is doing now it looks like that but 4x worse now …I personally wouldn’t pay that guy to do a cover

Great Vid👍

im very likely giving PSA a go after all this banana bend nonsense. I have a stack of ~25 books I'm sitting on until the new year. I haven't submitted to CGC in about a month and just waiting on my last shipment back from them. I love the PSA viewing area (although they're quite a bit wider) and really love that frosted plastic. the labels are just a bit underwhelming for me. Also anticipating a HUGE delay fro PSA once they're up and running as they're about to get flooded.

Very interested in seeing how you do this

Um your thumbnail says 2071 for his DOB did you mean 1971?

The CGC grading is BS. The fact that they don’t give grade notes for every grade is preposteous. Its especially needed at the higher grades. If you book comes back 8.0 below the defects should be evident. Its where the defects are not as noticeable that the customer wants to know why it got the grade it did. Then they say 9.8 can get 1-2 defects and a book comes back with 1 defect and it gets a sub 9.8 or pre-screen reject you want zo know why.

slabbed books. funko pops for debate bros.

Really sick books, super bummed CGC isnt on their stuff, was looking into getting into them but now Im not too sure. Super stoked to find your pages also, pretty sure you are local to me also haha

CGC just doesnt care anymore

Your intro sucks. Why try to startle your viewers? "HEY EVERYBODY!!!!" lol

There are so many of these documented cases now and CGC continues to do nothing.

The Banana-drama continues...

The difference between you and cgc, you care about your customers and cgc obviously does not or they wouldn’t be coming up with excuses every time they screw up.

Great books! Just unfortunate that CGC hasn't corrected the issue.

Great comics.

Cool stuff! Always wondered about rust and how to (remedy?) it. Really interested in the next steps.

Very interesting. Looking forward to the next episode.

I had a 9.8 pre-screen submission from May that came back with about 33% of my books bent and damaged to some degree. CGC's response is that I can pay to send them in and press/reholder. Seriously, they want me to send them in and possibly get back lower grades and even more damaged books, at MY expense.

This never used to happen, so why is it suddenly happening now?

Weird smile!

The grading is just an evaluation of a comic's physical condition, not an index of its market value. A comic's value is directly correlated with its rarity - as well as its condition. The fact is, any seasoned collector is already familiar with the fundamentals of grading, thus making the cult (and the expense) of slabbing somewhat null and void.

100tg comment 🎉

Man, this is really terrible timing. I have 25 Dan Mendoza covers I’m about to send in for grading. Some were very hard to even find for sale. If they all came back with bends I’d be beyond mad. 😡 I guess I’ll just wait it out

The upside is that all those books being sent in, will no longer affect the 9.8 census! Goodie!

Do we think CBCS grades harsher?

Cbcs has shown no effort to progress forward in the industry from a marketing perspective. But I like the CBCS case, very interested in PSA

Im totally paused submitting

This is a good video

Can someone provide a link to the affected serial numbers (mentioned at 20.15)? Thanks.

Enjoyed the upload guys

CGC=Certainly Gaslighting Collectors

The best form of collecting is raw bookS! Proper storage after you press and clean should suffice. I have been collecting for over 45 years and only sent 3 books to CGC for pressing! RAW BOOKS RULE! LOL! 👍

I’ll be honest to say I’ve never slabbed a single ish tho I have been given them as gifts, but I find the whole “ repair “ gig pretty F’d as well, the pressing and cleaning and repairing its bs nothing more than a bag and board, whatever the condition.

Nice!
