RIP Mr. West. Thanks for the history, Disciple. I knew he was a player and the NBA logo, but I mainly knew him as an exec. You having a party when the C's win the finals?

@swpdisciple 18 күн бұрын

Yes, he was a player before becoming an exec…a great player. Like I said, in the discussion for 2nd best 2 guard ever. Stylistically, in terms of shot diet and how he scored, he’s more like MJ than Kobe Bryant. Terrific all-time great. I don’t know about a party, especially with MJ home situation but I plan to attend the parade. 🙏🏾 🤞🏾 Thanks for listening!

If you're unhappy with the grades, just need to get better at grading my man. People loooovvveee to put the onus of responsibility on CGC everytime, as I'm sure all the anti CGC trolls commenting on this will. The fact is, they're analyzing the book much closer and in more detail than you or others do. CBCS won't be any different, despite someone's suggestion to send there. You need to take responsibility, be a man, and understand you should know better if a book will get a certain grade. If you get a 9.4 on something you were expecting a 9.8, then that's on you, not CGC for giving it the correct grade.

@swpdisciple Ай бұрын

The crux of the episode was about the ASM 129. The GiJoe I think is definitely better than a 7.5 as a 7.5 has noticeable areas to look at. Books are re-cracked and given grade bumps all the time. Let’s not pretend that CGC is infallible. I wasn’t even really complaining. It’s just that this drop was disappointing, that’s all. The other books can easily be sold though I don’t know that I want to sell them. The ASM 300 is a keeper though it could have easily gotten a 9.8.

@Comicbookyoutubersrock Ай бұрын

@@swpdisciple Maybe, it's tough for me personally to know about the GI Joe or ASM 300 being higher without seeing it in person. Is CGC infallible, absolutely not, I agree. But they also aren't wrong every time, which is what everyone seems to think every time grades come back. UNLESS, they come back higher than expected, then SUDDENLY, CGC was spot on. So at the end of the day, it has nothing to do with people actually analyzing there own books, just bitching when they don't get the grades they want. I've never once seen one of these videos where someone gets a grade lesser than expected, owns up and agrees CGC was right. So it really is just anti CGC scumbaggery.

@VileCountry Ай бұрын

Not always true bro. CGC have done plenty of damage to customer books. Just because you have a high grade book does not mean it won’t come back with spine ticks that weren’t noticed before. Remember, humans handle these collectibles at CGC so there’s always going to be that human error element without any of our control. I’ve personally seen bad comics get higher than expected grades. Why? Because not all CGC graders are created equal and we can’t assume that all CGC employees follow their own rules! We see this sort of incompetence at our own jobs all the time, CGC is no different, in fact maybe worst??? I’m not even sure what the meaning of “take responsibility and be a Man” has anything to do with subjective grading? I think you need to be a “Man” and understand how the system works! Good Grief!

@Comicbookyoutubersrock Ай бұрын

@@VileCountry Regular human graders are much worse than CGC human graders. I’ve seen it time and time again, everyone thinks they know more than CGC, like a world full of Donald trumps “I know more than the generals” 😂. Sorry bud, but you can talk it up all you want, but I’ve bought sooo many books from the everyday schmo, like you, like this KZbinr, and 99.9% of time, you’re grading is on par with the level of detail a 3 year old puts into their elementary school art project.

@swpdisciple Ай бұрын

Yeah pretty crappy especially considering the original slab was from 2004 so someone wouldn’t have married it to add value back then. I probably could have cracked it and resubmitted again or to CBCS or something but there’s the time and hassle element and the cost each time. The market it down so assuming it held at an 8.5 Blue label, it would only be right at $2100 or so. So this eventually comes down to, how much did I want to fight for $850 minus any costs associated with a regrade. The drop from 9.2 to 8.5 hurt as well.

True story...During the late 1980's I was in college attending the University of Hawaii. Mcfarlane was just becoming famous (not yet an icon) and came to Jelly's in Hawaii to sign comics. Of course, being a fan...I attended the event and brought some of my Mcfarlane comics to get signed. When it was my turn to meet Mcfarlane, I told him that in my eyes he had done the impossible and dethroned Neal Adams as the best comic book artist in the industry. Mcfarlane laughed and unexpectedly offered to sell to me the original cover art to Incredible Hulk #344 for $300. I remember telling Mcfarlane that, "I wish I had $300. I'm just a poor college student and I don't have an extra $300 in my budget." Mcfarlane smiled nicely and wished me the best in my studies at college. Hmmmm...I think it's fair to say that the Hulk #344 original cover art has a value today of somewhere in the high five to six figures. Yes, that $300 would have been a pretty good investment...LOL.

@swpdisciple Ай бұрын

Wow! In fairness $300 in the late 80s is probably more like $1200 today. Still, that would be a nice piece to hang up in the man cave or help fund retirement! I’ve seen some sell at auction and the prices can be astounding.

I thought about cracking it and re-submitting but it gets expensive with books prior to 1975 of a certain value. The best thing is to either crack/keep the book or sell it, realize the loss and hopefully reinvest and get your money back over time.
