Nothing hits quite like a fresh CGC submission coming back, and this batch is straight fire. From Silver Age first appearances to Bronze Age classics, these are the kind of books that define a collection.

🦇 Batman #181 (1966) – CGC 7.0

The legendary first appearance of Poison Ivy. This book is one of the biggest Silver Age Batman keys and a must-have for any serious DC collector. Even in a mid-grade 7.0, it’s a centerpiece that commands attention.

🕷 Amazing Spider-Man #100 (1971) – CGC 8.5

The 100th issue milestone featuring a classic John Romita Sr. cover packed with Spider-Man’s entire rogues’ gallery. A true Bronze Age gem and an essential Spidey collectible that bridges the Silver and Bronze eras.

🦇 Batman #244 (1972) – CGC 6.5

One of the most iconic Neal Adams Batman covers of all time. Ra’s al Ghul returns in “The Demon Lives Again,” showcasing Adams’ stunning desert duel artwork. Even at 6.5, this book’s eye appeal is top tier.

Why These Matter

This submission brought home some serious character-defining keys — from Poison Ivy’s debut to Spidey’s anniversary to Adams’ legendary Batman art. These aren’t just comics; they’re history preserved in plastic.

📦 Keep an eye out — some of these may hit the eBay shop soon here, while others are locked into the personal vault.

Big news — I’ve got a massive PSA order on the way back! 🔥
Now here’s the question: do I sell them directly through PSA’s eBay integration, or should I list them myself through my eBay store and channel?

Here’s the breakdown:

🔹 Selling through PSA on eBay

• Instant credibility with the PSA Vault branding.

• Cards show up faster in searches and may sell quicker.

• Downside: PSA + eBay fees eat into the profits.

🔹 Selling myself (eBay + my channel)

• I keep more of the profit.

• Full control of photos, titles, and listings.

• I can feature the slabs on my stream and socials before they sell.

• Might take a little longer to move them compared to PSA direct.

Poll Question:

👉 What do YOU think I should do with my upcoming PSA slabs?

1. Sell through PSA’s eBay integration (faster flips, more exposure)

2. Sell them myself (more profit, more control, more branding)

3. Mix of both (quick flips with PSA, big grails through me)

Vote in the comments (or hit the poll on my socials) — your feedback is going to help me decide the play.

If you’ve been in the comic grading game long enough, you know the feeling: sometimes a batch comes back from CGC looking rougher than you’d hoped. That was definitely the case with my latest submission.

This round had its ups and downs. Some grades didn’t land where I wanted, and a couple of key issues definitely stung more than others. But collecting (and flipping) comics is a long game, and every batch tells a story.

The Highlights

• Amazing Spider-Man #300 (CGC 9.2) – My copy improved! Anytime ASM #300 goes up in grade, that’s a win. Venom’s first appearance is still one of the most iconic modern keys, and higher-grade newsstands are always in demand.

• Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 (CGC 9.6) – Another upgrade! This book marks the first full appearance of John Constantine, a character who continues to be huge in DC lore. Alan Moore’s run here is legendary, and 9.6 is a sweet spot grade that balances value and affordability for collectors.

The Tough Pills to Swallow

Not every book came back smiling:

• A couple landed in the 7.0–8.0 range, which is always tough to see when you were hoping higher.

• Even though some keys held strong, those mid-grade results remind you how unforgiving grading can be.

Lessons From This Batch

1. Pressing and cleaning matter. Even small defects or overlooked flaws can tank a grade.

2. Set expectations realistically. Keys will always hold value, but not every copy is going to be a 9.8 gem.

3. Celebrate the wins. Those upgrades on ASM #300 and Swamp Thing #37 made the entire submission worth it.

Final Thoughts

This wasn’t the prettiest submission, but it’s part of the grind. Every grade teaches you something, and every slab tells a story. Sometimes it’s about the heartbreaks, sometimes about the hype — and today it’s a bit of both.

Keep your eyes on the listings some of these will be hitting the store soon. 

The Marvel Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering set has been one of the most divisive drops in recent memory. A lot of people in the MTG community aren’t feeling it, but for me? As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, cracking a Collector Box was an absolute blast.

This set might not be for everyone, but here’s the truth: it wasn’t about chasing meta cards or value for me. It was about adding some incredible Marvel-inspired pieces to my collection and my display shelves.

Some of the highlights from my box:

• 🟣 The Soul Stone (Infinity Stone Legendary Artifact) – Thanos in full glory, perfect for the collection.

• 🕸️ Spectacular Spider-Man (Legendary Creature) – easily one of my favorite pulls, and it looks gorgeous sleeved up.

• 🖤 Venom: Lethal Protector – iconic comic cover vibes, now locked into my permanent display case.

For me, this box wasn’t about profit or play — it was about passion. I’m a Spider-Man nerd first, and seeing these characters turned into MTG cards is just plain fun. These slabs are going straight into my display shelves alongside my comics and collectibles.

At the end of the day, it’s simple: if you’re a Spider-Man fan, this set hits different. And that’s what collecting should be about — fun, nostalgia, and showcasing what you love.

Star Wars just delivered—Disney and Lucasfilm have released the first official trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu, hitting theaters May 22, 2026. If you’re a fan, this looks like it could be the biggest cinematic Star Wars moment since The Rise of Skywalker. People.com+2The Verge+2

What’s New: Trailer Highlights

• Pedro Pascal returns as Din Djarin, and of course Grogu is along for the ride—with plenty of cute moments, curiosity, and that beloved enfant of chaos. People.com+1

• Sigourney Weaver joins the franchise as Colonel Ward, a veteran Rebel pilot now operating under the New Republic. EW.com

• Jeremy Allen White plays Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt. Expect old-school Hutt chaos. People.com

• Action-packed shots: AT-ATs, combat, speeders, flare-ups under planetary skies, and Grogu doing adorable, cheeky stuff (stealing snacks, exploring, maybe using the Force in ways we haven’t fully seen). EW.com+1

Bigger Picture: What This Means

• The Mandalorian & Grogu is a leap from streaming to the big screen—Lucasfilm’s first true Star Wars theatrical adventure since 2019. The Verge+1

• The stories continue after The Mandalorian season 3, in a galaxy rebuilding with remnants of the Empire threatening peace. People.com+1

• Grogu’s role seems to be growing. New materials hint at him being more than just a sidekick or cute mascot—possibly rising to “Force’s heir” status. GamesRadar+

Why It Matters to Collectors + Fans

• New merch, new collectible opportunities, new variants (look out for trailers showing ships, AT-AT designs, Pilots’ gear, etc.).

• Those “cute Grogu moments” = meme material. Books, shirts, stickers—this trailer gives a lot of content to play with.

• If you’ve been holding onto Star Wars keys, this helps predict which issues/styles might spike in demand (e.g. anything with Grogu, first theatrical showings, Weaver’s character, Rotta the Hutt).

“We’ve fallen into legend, old pilot.” Thanks to Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and everyone else behind the scenes, The Mandalorian & Grogu is shaping up to deliver exactly what fans have been craving: action, heart, nostalgia, and growth for the characters we love.

May 22, 2026 can’t come soon enough. Until then, watch the trailer, rewatch the previous seasons, and get ready.

The wait is finally over – Borderlands 4 has officially dropped, and the hype train is in full motion. Gearbox has once again cranked the insanity dial to 11, delivering a looter-shooter that’s louder, crazier, and more explosive than ever before.

Expect nonstop action, buckets of loot, and that trademark Borderlands humor fans love.

What’s New in Borderlands 4?

• Expanded Open Worlds – Larger zones to explore, packed with Easter eggs and hidden loot caches.

• Next-Gen Gunplay – Thousands of procedurally generated weapons, each with their own quirks and wild effects.

• New Vault Hunters – Fresh abilities and unique skill trees give players more ways to wreak havoc.

Last night, PSN went down for scheduled server maintenance, and it had a ripple effect on the overlay. If your overlay looked broken or failed to pull in trophies, that’s why.

What Happened 🎮

The maintenance caused temporary downtime across PSN services. While everything came back online, the overlay had to be updated to ensure compatibility with the current PSN setup. That work is done — but some users may still experience hiccups as the changes roll out globally.

The Big Change: Privacy 🔒

As part of the server maintenance, PSN adjusted its privacy rules. If your PlayStation profile is set to private, the overlay can no longer access your trophy data. This isn’t a bug — it’s how PSN now handles profile privacy.

👉 If you want your trophies to display correctly in the overlay, make sure your PSN profile is set to public.

What This Means for You 🏆

• If the overlay looks broken, check your PSN privacy settings first.

• The stable overlay update is already live — no download or changes needed on your side.

• Expect minor bumps as PSN stabilizes post-maintenance.

Final Word

This is part of building live tools on top of evolving platforms: PSN shifts, and we adapt. Thanks for rolling with the bumps. I’ll keep patching and testing so your overlay stays reliable for every stream.

Grab Your Trophy 🏆 — now battle-tested against PSN downtime.
