  1. I think its safe to add BlahBlahBlah2007 to the probation list. 3 months and nothing. Stole $173 from me. Stopped communicating with me about a month ago. Never gave me a tracking number or anything. I asked and the other person who bought something from the sale thread and they said they received their item, but got their item was in lower grade than described.
  2. Bought a $1500 comic off him and he was totally understanding and awesome.
  3. I agree completely, my only concern is what are the odds the 9.8 then gets signed and comes back a 9.6 putting me back where I started. 9.8s seem to be going for around $800 now so I would be exactly back where I started. That is a possibility. I had a copy of #2, that was prescreened by a few people at 9.6 (maybe even 9.8) that came back a 9.0 (I suspect the problem happened in the signing process), but on the other hand they didn't screw up the copies 1, 3, 4 and 5 I had signed and submitted.
  4. WD #1 is getting ridiculous. Raw copies only seem to be selling for $300 or so, but graded copies are through the roof. 9.8 copies are at around $1000 (one just sold for $1400!), and 9.6 copies are selling for $700-800. I'm sure 9.4 copies will sell $500+.
  5. Yeah, I figured higher grade was better, but I hear the black label is harder to find.
  6. Found these at a flea market a couple of weeks ago for $2.50 each. The 131, is at least a 9.4 to 9.6 (with a chance at 9.8), and the 168 would be the same if not for a tiny tear on the back. Its probably 9.0 to 9.2 in its current condition. Still not bad for $5 total.
  7. Hey guys, quick opinion needed. I have 2 copies of WD 1 coming back from CGC. One is a 9.4 Black Label, and the other is a 9.6 White Label. Both are SS. I'm planning on keeping one, and selling the other. Which do you guys think I should keep? I'm also kind of upset because my #2 is coming back a 9.0. I think it got screwed up in the signing process, since 3, 4 and 5 all came back SS 9.8 (and yes 2-5 are books that branget sold me awhile back for a great deal).
  8. Congrats. I still regret selling both my copies (to boardies here). I'm sure there's a chance this copy is one of them.
  9. Not an amazing find, but I found 4 packs of Mylites for 50 cents each @ Goodwill. Kind of weird to find them there And no, my brother did not get them for me.
  10. Does the 10% discount apply if I fill out a signature submission form? Does the discount also apply to on-site grading?
  11. Hello, I am thinking of using a coupon at NYCC. Can I only use it at the CGC booth? Or can it be used with another company such as Desert Wind Comics to pay for the grading fees as well?
  12. Kirkman does not sign through anyone in particular. You can find people that are facilitating at NYCC in the Signature Room. I know that GACollectibles and DWC are both accepting books for submission. Moore is absolutely worth the effort if you are a fan and want both of the creators on the same book. $5 per book for Moore, but totally up to you! Thanks for the advice. Does Kirkman charge anything? I want to get my WD 1-5 signed, so those Moore signatures will add up quick, but I guess it's worth it. Can I just drop my books off with CGC and just pay them the signing fees? In the past, they've told me to just drop the books off with them and they would just get the signatures for me.
  13. Hey guys, just curious, does Kirkman sign through DWC? Or is he on his own? I want to know what to expect at NYCC. It looks like Moore might not be worth the effort.
  14. Massive grail of mine arrived today thanks to a great deal here. It's about a 2.0 to 2.5, and I'm really happy to finally own this! I'm going to get it signed and graded at NYCC.
  15. Today's flea market finds. All $1 each. The books that aren't in bags are screaming for a press, since the guy who sold them just threw all his comics into a tub. The only one that's probably going to get pressed is DD 158. Is the X-Men 25 without the foil anything good? It has a dirt stain on the spine, and I want to see if its worth the trouble to get it out (it is pretty fresh and starting to come off).
  16. I have tons of garage sale finds. These are from this year, so far. Most of them are action figure related, but I have some comic finds too. It is MUCH harder to find good comics at garage sales than toys. The first thing is probably my best find. A few months ago, someone wanted me to look at his comics. I kept putting it off, and eventually after he bothered me enough, I went to look. He ended up having 30 short boxes filled with stuff and told me all books were 40 cents each. Sorry, I didn't scan the books. 1st print The stuff was decent, but this was the best part of the find. A nearly complete set (with some variants) of Cry for Dawn with 2 different copies of the #3 Horror Con book signed! I ended up selling both of them here (won't say how much), because I got ridiculous offers that I couldn't refuse. Complete Transformers Hun-Gurrr for $10 @ a local church rummage sale. Some more G1 Transformers for $3 each (Cutthroat was opened). Not a comic, but I found this for $3 a garage sale as well.
