But then in my irrational exuberance, I read HIGH into Highlander and errantly thought you were making a double entendre...My bad as you clearly spelled it out but i clearly didn't read your spelling. So, in that light.... ONLY Graded Example of -  |

A viewer sees the post, checks the census, sees 2 books, and wonders what the "rules" are. I was just looking for clarification if I was missing something. |

| @Siggy no worries. My feathers weren't too ruffled, but I couldn't resist the urge to make a Highlander comment!! But as far as drek or hot books goes, I'm sure you've already seen examples of books posted here that are neither. And once @earthshaker01 gets wind of this thread, I'm sure there will be more examples that most collectors would never consider drek or hot. Edit, btw, I am a Highlander nerd!!! I LOVED the original movie and I enjoyed the sequels and the tv series. |

I’ve got less than 10 slabs so I feel a little like Charlie Bucket telling his math teacher he only opened two Wonka bars when I look at all these beautiful books! |

  There are two entries in the census for this book but they are the same book. I cracked it, got another sig, and resubmitted  |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite I'm not sure I understand. Wouldn't the "only" copy suggest drek, or if its a hot book, odds are it won't stay the "only" copy in the census for long? Or am I reading that wrong? I don't think so. I agree that if it's a hot book, it won't be the only one on the census. Graded non-keys or drek will pretty much guarantee you a lone census book. |

Only copy on the CBCS census. Transparency here: The addition of a census, has me now firmly deciding to leave these in their CBCS slabs. Was tempted to swap these out for CGC's new pedigree labels, but 1) thought about the possibility of a down grade in the regrade 2)as far as CBCS books go, i'm really a fan of the original label (sorry). Won't look uniform with the rest of my books in the run, but hey.. |

| It might be interesting to post when any of these books in the thread are no longer the only book on the census, just to see how long it holds. | ||

| I've noticed that so far the lower the grades, the cooler the books. The higher the grades, the "drekkier" the books. |

| @Scifinator it was the drop down title that contained an extra space and was throwing my search off. So if your searching for “Amazing Spider-Man”, just type it out instead of selecting from the drop down box. Thank you though. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| The search is pretty strict. I couldn't find Ms. Marvel because I left out the period, and finding All-New Marvel Now! Point One took some work. My experience was that you have to let the drop-down do the work for you. | ||

I would like to think so. I remember waiting a three hour line and his scheduled nap lol to get the signature. When it was my turn in line and presented the book to him he grinned ear to ear.  |
