The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
Telepathic agents who serve the Eternal Light Corporation attack Captain Comet on Hardcore Station, where he has been living for some time. They manage to slip a psychic restraint over his head which overloads the neurons of his body. Unsure of how to handle the situation any further, they decide to destroy him. Deacon Dark instructed his cybernetic associate Prime-7 to steal Captain Comet's body from the station's morgue. Captain Comet's body was later stolen by the Eternal Light Corporation from the Justice Center's morgue. The theft didn't go as planned and the the thieves had to dispose of Blake' body by jettisoning it to the nearest sun but something incredible happened as Blake's corpse neared the sun. The telepathic energy of Comet's mind had survived the destruction of his body. Comet's body wanders the cosmos until it finds and connects with a new physical host. The telepathic form of the Weird links up with Comet's corpse. The process that brought them together is what the Weird would call "Revivification". However, the connection didn't last long. Meanwhile, Comet's friend Eye overhears Comet's demise and goes to his apartment on Hardcore. Comet's talking bulldog companion Tyrone greets Eye and invites her inside. Tyrone tells Eye about Comet's life as an adventurer on Earth during the 1950's and as an interstellar hero. After Eye leaves, Tyrone hears a noise from an adjacent room. When Tyrone enters the room, he sees Captain Comet revived and sprawled out across the floor.
