3 daysSteveRicketts (6145): For those curious who he was, it was not a shill for any previously banned forum member. He has been around the hobby for a long, long, long, long time. This was just a preemptive disposal that was unanimously decided on once we figured it out. We feel it's best to keep the identity anonymous as to not grant him any publicity. Obscurity is befitting.

5 daysjackblankenship (1): Thanks, Steve. I already got a reply from customer service, which was greatly appreciated. I know the massive move must be terribly difficult, and being local to St. Pete, I was sad to see CBCS moving. I was just hoping to pick up the last few books I had submitted before the move. No love lost!

Slightly more annoying than the traffic and car horns in the background. This guy gets it. http://forum.cbcscomics.com/cached/1553e52312ec4ff9d50d343a73d98fe8.jpg

To find out what stage your comics are at, click on the invoice number. There, if your comics read "processing", it means that your comics have not entered the grading phase yet.

1 hourCatmanAmerica (4984): I'm not convinced that supporting an arbitrary scale where pink/blue pages are automatically knocked down below light tan is the best approach. It's entirely possible that some Fox books with blue and pink interiors were preserved in a humidity balanced environment. This is the one instance where color and PQ should not be assessed on an absolute scale. What is needed is a better method of examining these books to ascertain brittleness...

It had some quirks, like not listing golden age books and would not provide any explanation as to why some series either started off at a strange number (I.e., Captain America 100) or there were missing issues (Incredible Hulk jump from issue 6 to 102). But that made it a mystery early in my collecting hobby and made me...
