Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Agreed, but for different reasons. A CGC slab from 2013 is far less likely to have been pressed than a CGC slab from 2021. Won't be CBCS, they weren't around in 2013. If PGX, I would stay clear of anything from 2013. |

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

| Is it just me or are the new Alex Ross Timeless villian covers not that great? The art looks fine on the cover with all the villians but maybe when they're blown up for single covers something looks off. Here's a link which shows several of the covers: https://bigtimecollectibles.com/collections/alex-ross-timeless-variant?page=1 This one of Doc Ock looks awful to me, but I do like the Mystique cover.  |

| Does anyone own an Xbox one s or x they don't use and would like to sell me? I thought I'd ask here first. My friend told me you can play the original halo online so I'm looking forward to playing some capture the flag on Blood Gulch. | ||

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| Anyone else pre-order the PSVR2? Never had any interest in owning a VR headset before but ordered it for my recently completed racing simulator and it looks incredible. |

| @Reelgee The Comic Mint has bundles available for ALL of the Alex Ross Timeless covers. I've just been ordering the ones I like. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), there's only been about 5 or 6 of the villian covers that I like. That's in both waves. |

I knew their pressing was bad but not so bad that they're struggling for business. Any other interpretations?  |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders They had hiring notices up for a while with Blackstone and the market correction probably has submissions down overall too. The combination of all the new hires along with the market and overall horrible reputation of their pressing all are factors i think. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HotKeyComics To be fair I'm not really up on industry news but the little I have heard about CCS was never good. I have one order on its way to CGC right now and I decided to go with CFP and much longer TATs than with CCS...and I think another order is going CFP and CGCs way...especially since CFP has cut off CBCS...at least for the time being |

| Random Rants: Am i the only pissed off over the weather in Texas? I missed out on 2 book signing deadlines because books I ordered STILL hasnt seen any movement by MCS or 2 ebayers from TX. MCS just showed my Ren and Stimpy books were shipped (ordered 2 weeks ago) but too late now... I'll have to hang on to them for another Billy West signing. What more frustrating is when you send a book off to be pressed - THEN a week or 2 later someone announces a private signing for the book you just sent to pressing... you NO LONGER HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION! (this forum needs an angry emoji) |
