I've gave up on buying raw books quite some time ago. With forum advice and books I've traded for MCS seems to have it together, grade wise at least. These are just a couple books I was buying to sample their input.  The SW 23 is at 8.0 but looks 9.0. The SW 27 is at 9.0 and looks that. I also bought a second copy of the flaming carrot, both were 8.0 and there weren't any scans. The worse of the two is 8-8.5, the better is a 9.2 I'd say. Push comes to shove I'd order raws there again for sure, shipping is another story though. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @HeinzDad what happened with shipping? It's usually fast for me and only $5 even with large orders. | ||

| I complained about it on the usps thread so ill keep it short. Ups Innovations?? Ups delivers it to my local USPS? WTF is that. The package sat at my local branch for over a week because usps doesn't care about extra work they get dumped by UPS. Thats my opinion anyways. The fact happens to be a gemini mailer and media mail costs 3 something, considering these came in a Gemini???? Sorry about the rant, I'll still order from them again. | ||

   we had a somewhat local con last Sunday, not a whole lot of inventory but it was good to get around some comics and nerds. Most of the Key books Were overpriced, picked these 3 up for 145, I really love the cover on the 29, it reminds me of all star 8 |

| @Bronte - That’s a phenomenal 6-pack of books! I used to own 4 or 5 copies of that issue, but my best copy would tie your worst. And to have a 9.8 DE and a 9.8 NE, that is an amazing feat, pun intended. | ||

| @esaravo Thank you. Having one of each is really nice. I was seriously pleased with the results. I was praying for one 9.8 but 2 was a gift. Shame you got rid of them. There is a rumor that the next movie will have black cat as a rival love interest to MJ. |

| @Bronte Nice! I just have my one copy of that, in 9.6. I didn't get it pressed before grading, and I keep waffling about whether I ought to crack/press/resub. | ||

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @CatCovers I have had mixed luck with press and resubmit with CGC. All the 194s were for benefit. A silver surfer 1 went from 6.5 cgc to 5.5 cgc with page quality drop. A marvel collectibles classic went from 9.6 cgc to 9.8 cgc. My final book is nova 1. 9.6 cbcs and is in grading status currently. If you dont think the book will take a grade drop the price increase associated with that grade increase is INSANE. I think its 550$ for a 9.6 but over 1850$ on gocollect for 9.8. |

| @Bronte - I didn’t get rid of all of them. I still have three (@AndyRexia has/had one of them). Two are actually at CBCS for press and grade, but those are much lower grades than your gems. | ||

  i picked these up tonight at auction, was looking up the fmv on the killing joke, there are 12 printings on this book, some are selling for just as much as the first print, that shocked me.

| For what should be a rather mediocre book for the most part, its scoring on GPA 9.2 378 9.0 455 8.5 318 Even at 6.0 its a 160 dollar conversation....The best guess is either the good girl art cover, or the fact that aqualad becomes aquamans partner this issue?

Ad for Green Lantern #65 and Brave & Bold 81. 1st appearance of Dolphin in The Fantasy at 14 Fathoms!, script and art by Jay Scott Pike; US Navy frogmen cut into a sunken WWII Navy ship to retrieve documents from a vault; And spot a white-haired girl(!) at the sea bottom; When she's brought aboard, she turns blue from suffocation--because she has gills; With regular dips in the ocean, she falls for Chris and learns some English.
