Fed Ex says it is on the truck.

I always wondered how safe my books were on a delivery truck in this weather. My son's birthday just passed and I remember one of the things my sister got for her nephew was an ant farm when he was much younger (maybe seven or eight). He had the farm but the ants were to be mailed later. My son's mother was happy that when the ants arrived, they arrived frozen.

I received my ASM #129 this past Monday. The express service was very much on time. The book was cold, damn cold and I wonder what that does to a book if anything. I have three books to be delivered today. Currently it is 10 degrees above freezing and when I checked on the book through my work shift I believe the temperature was slightly colder.

These books I won off of ComicLink and they were originally shipped out of Maine and after only a few days they are about to be delivered. I am waiting patiently and after being on the phone with Verizon Wireless for a little over an hour with no internet access and sleep deciding to settle in I can't wait for the delivery. In fact once I finish this little tidbit I am going to bed.

So what am I getting? One book is a copy of Spider-Man #1. I think it is the green cover. I am getting a copy of Iron man #131 in a 9.8 and a copy of Tales to Astonish in a 9.2. I am looking forward to each and hope even though I will not be getting to 300 books by the end of the year I can at least break the 500 barrier.

What auctions do you use to buy your already graded books? What is your grade of choice? If not a 9.8 would you settle for a 9.6?

Thanks for Reading

Should I get this book graded?
