| @DrWatson you're right. Just after the $75 shipping fee that was probably 20 years ago maybe not 15 I think any shipping under that price is a win. But not if you're not used to it  |

| Why do people sometimes blackout certification numbers on photos of slabs? Putting aside malicious intent like hiding something wrong with the book or being stolen. Just in general like posting a cool book on a forum. |

| @HulkSmash I remember other folks saying it was something about CGC registry hacking. People somehow claiming they had books they didn't have. | ||

| What exactly is that registry for? It can't just be for showcasing your books, can it? Afterall, there's rewards. I dunno, it just feels wrong ... like you're saying, "My books are better than yours". Maybe it's just fun for some people to 'outshine' other collectors? I dunno, I just never understood it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmash I did that one time about 7 years ago. It was my very first cgc slab sale on ebay and I had absolutely no clue. I mistakenly thought that # could also identify my personal info (name, address, phone #) that I gave CGC. Unless they have several slabs being sold, they probably think the same thing. |

| Hi all, Question about Ms Marvel #1 1977 issue. Am I correct is saying that ALL of these copies were newsstand copies? I've checked eBay, MCS, and Comic Link and for the life of me, i cant find a single direct issue copy without the newsstand bar code... I'm thinking that they printed all newsstand copies and mailed them to residences who had subscriptions. Not sure im right though. Thanks |

| @steveinthecity How can you tell a newsstand edition of Ms Marvel #1 1977 from a direct edition ? All upcs ive looked at are the same. |

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @multi007 I think what he means is that there wouldn't have been any direct comics in 1977, and if there were they were actually resold newsstands (https://blog.gocollect.com/newsstand-editions-vs-direct-comics-a-history/). But starting in 1979, you started seeing 'real' direct edition books with either a blank box or the UPC code struck out. If you search for Amazing Spider-Man 194 (first Black Cat, so plenty of listings on eBay), for example, you'll see UPC and UPC strike-out copies. That came out in the back half of 1979. So if there are any 'direct' Ms. Marvel #1s, they are indistinguishable from a newsstand copy. |

| Hi, does anyone know the current rate Chris Claremont will be charging for raw signatures at next week's Comic Con Revolution? I think last year he was charging $10 per raw but don't know if that's changed. Thank you in advance! |

| Thanks but was that charge for CGC graded or raw? A jump from $10 to $40 is a huge increase. I am looking to have some raw books signed and not have them graded. |

| @multi007 Thanks, so it sounds like you were getting your books witnessed and graded by CGC. I am only looking to have my books signed and not graded, so looking for ungraded signature fees. |

multi007 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Buckets yes. But there wasn’t a witness fee. (although several artists do charge $20 more for a witnessed signature that's going to be graded). I paid $40 for signature or $60 signature with remark, plus the CGC payment for grading, I think that was $25 or $30. So about $90 per book remarked and graded |
