  1. Listen, as a long time critic of House, I think the SOL has run, and given my interactions over the years, the contrition he's shown, and his efforts to make restitution, I think he's paid his due. I know others may feel differently. That said, as mentioned above, be careful who you make this deal with.
  2. Sorry tom I didn't see in the original post or in the listing for the specific book that those two books were otherwise on hold. It doesn't appear anywhere in your listing, so if I wasn't supposed to BIN apologies.
  3. Hey Harry -- if you are just getting the book reholdered, it doesn't need to be cracked. If you want a different designation on the restoration, I believe you have to have the book regraded, but I could be wrong -- and if it is regraded, then yes, it could drop etc. I'm not sure how they could redesignate the classification without looking at the whole book again especially with restoration. You probably could put this in the Ask CGC section too.... Hope you are doing well Harry!
  4. I guess I'm an old dinosaur who loves buying in person from collectors or dealers. I like the face to face nature of the transaction. I think you can still acquire big books at or even below market at a show. I bought an Albedo 2 CGC 9.8 from a major national dealer this year and a beautiful Mask 1 CGC 4.5 from a private collector -- I don't know that there's just one place to buy from that's better than the other. I find when buying the big books you can wait for auction and get into a war especially on a high end eye appeal book or you can buy it privately from a major dealer who sources it for you and makes it an easy transaction. Often time payments and other flexibility makes dealing with the national dealer just so much easier. the TOS 39 CGC 9.0 and JIM 83 CGC 8.0 were a breeze and I paid right on market.
  5. Hey Andy. I think you meant to send this as a pm. But hey now that I have your address I can send you that glitter bomb.
  6. Greg Reece and I will be there with bells on. Looking forward to seeing you folks.
  7. Bob had surgery yesterday and it was completely successful, he should be going home later today -- but will still be out of commission for about a week or so and he appreciates everyone's well wishes!
  8. Hi guys, Just wanted to pass on some information that I just received from Bob's wife Shannon. Bob is in the hospital with appendicitis -- he's having surgery today and hopefully should come through fine, but he will be unable to process orders for about a week or so. He just wanted everyone to know what was going on so no one was wondering where their books were. Let's send Bob our well wishes as he recovers!

  10. it's a no brainer. doesn't come up for sale that often, and certainly not in that grade. price is irrelevant at that point and the book is just super cool.
  11. I'm definitely familiar with your store and so I think folks will have no problem dealing with you -- the low post count and expensive books is always going to bring that question. Also, I would consolidate the listings as someone will eventually cite that rule to you as well. It's a great book, if I was local or in the area this is one worth picking up!
