"but third party graders keep us safe and the world from falling into complete anarchy."

Man I thought that they just graded comics....sounds like they are doing a lot more...no wonder there turnaround time is so long...

You know that book would be sold as "VF+" if it wasn't in a CGC holder.

This is off topic, but I've read that there are plans in the works for a Silver Surfer Movie. Lots of CG effects, I guess.

We might be seeing a lot more of Silver Surfer here soon. I bought issue #1 off of eBay, just in case.

The one that came out in 82 (I think). You can still get it at a reasonable price & in good condition.

Ayup.

"No, no, it really DOES look better than VG/F! And with that statement, I'm telling you to mistrust everything else I grade, because I never knew how to grade correctly in the first place! Now that CGC has 'put me in my place', so to speak, I now must point out to you that I think they're just WRONG WRONG WRONG, and I know how to grade better than them! Of course, that means you should look at all my UNGRDADED comics with suspicion, because I'm ADMITTING that I don't know how to grade!"

I'm telling you...I lived for 10 YEARS with *SQUEE* selling me crap that had creases, dings, tears, folds, stains, etc etc etc as 'MINT!!!!'...and *SQUEE* off more than a few who *SQUEE* ME off because they had the balls to stick a Fine- comic on the wall for a NM price, and I dared call them on it....the revenge has been SO sweet. Literally. Laughing every single time I hear someone say this...or 'I was expecting a much higher grade'....HA. HA HA.

And people genuinely wonder why actual NM 9.4 copies of everything sold for many multiples of Guide when CGC finally hit the scene.

But I'm not bitter.....much.

I LOVE Silver Surfer.

One of my favorite characters, for some reason.

Wayyyy back in 1990-ish, I bought a Silver Surfer #1 in Fine for $4 from a store. Guide at the time was roughly $40 or so. I traded it for a NM copy of Justice League #3 Limited cover.

Yeah. Ouch.

Still have the HL #3 limited cover, about $20 on eBay, and a Fine SS #1 is about...oh....$80 ish.

I got my VF/NM Silver Surfer 1 by trading my Harbinger 1 at a the Motor City Comic Con in 93. I paid $1.95 for the Harbinger 1

. Dealers at the time were having a hard time moving Silver age books and knew that they would an easy 100 to 150 from the Harbinger in just a few hours. It was a crazy time then.
