  1. I should be able to fit about 1000 in my car.
  2. I actually, truly, spend money purchasing and having CGC grade some of my comic books.
  3. My low bids are not cutting it. Perhaps if I bid another dollar.
  4. The odds may be better in Vegas. As I'm certain at least one person at some point in history said (), "Give me your money sucka'." I may write that on my checks to CGC.
  5. I enjoy BA773's postings because, as far as this "internet thingy" allows, he strikes me as someone that very much enjoys comic books.
  6. For all the work some of us must do to receive what we paid for, CGC should give an extra discount, 10% (open to debate), every time comic books have to be returned for ME after the first time. While CGC is at it, they should also offer free shipping and cake. Cake is the most likely to be offered.
  7. A good reputation is hard earned, and easily lost.
  8. I purchased a CGC grade 10 copy of a Bronze Age comic book from MHC priced much lower than other dealers ...
  9. Very sad news. Rest in peace fellow New Jerseyan/Jerseyite.
  10. On a five comic book modern submission of the same "crop" book, three of cover A and two of cover B, I received three 9.9 (two of cover A and, of course, one of cover B) when there are a great many 10 for each cover of said crop; CGC did not "give me" one 10 on my "corn" but did give two 9.8 on it. Those are the only 9.9 grades that CGC has granted me. "Thank you," CGC.
  11. ME, mechanical error, may need to be renamed Multiple Errors.
  12. At least five years ago I made a purchase, around $35, and if I correctly recall it was a "buy now." I inquired of the seller if I could have the item insured for shipping. The seller told me they did not offer insurance but if anything occurred they would refund my purchase price. With the seller's word to reimburse me in case of loss, I purchased the item. The item was lost during shipment and, according to the seller, it was not returned to them. Despite the sellers' word, he attempted to keep my money, telling me to make a claim with the USPS for my loss. The seller is a liar and a wretched individual.I filed a claim with eBay and my money was returned. I left negative feedback for the seller which he had removed. He left negative feedback for me disguised as positive feedback which I had removed. Unfortunately, I do not recall the seller's id since all information of the transaction was deleted from eBay and I can't locate (Edit) an emails of the transaction because I likely deleted them long ago. That is, fortunately, the only bad transaction I have had on eBay since I joined in 1999. Although in those years I have made less than 200 purchases, every other seller I have purchased from has been magnificent.
  13. I assume, we know what that means, that CGC has found, I'll say, a lost Batman 251 and it may be the one ArtRock1600 submitted or, if not, it was submitted by someone else; unless CGC has (lost) copies of Batman 251 throughout its building/s. Of course, I am making a bad joke; I hope.
  14. We'll soon have to include detailed instructions on how to open boxes, laminated to the top of the box, and, inside the box at, the very top, how to unpack the contents. I joke, or do I.
  15. The last five or so comic books FedEx has delivered, including one box on Thursday, October 19, 2023 (I was home and heard it land on the porch with a thump), they just throw on my porch from the path before the stairs; there are three steps to reach the porch. However, on Wednesday, Oct., 18, I had a box weighing 54lbs. delivered. Even if they threw it on the path no damage would have occurred. The FedEx delivery person must despise having to deliver such relatively heavy boxes. Hahahahaha... Yes, it is petty of me to laugh but, well, "screwdriver" FedEx.
  16. This is one of the original owner copies I purchased via Westfiled (Edit) Westfield, although I did "file" the comic books (Westfield is going strong and still provides comics in typically excellent condition if they are packaged securely-you request that they do so), (End Edit), Comics mail order. This is the only one I have thus far submitted for grading and have not submitted any of the ones I purchased at LOCs or newsstands, yet.
  17. Unfortunately, many folks were either never taught or never learned how to save money. Perhaps many of them purchase comic books when they can't afford to, possibly including new releases; not even relatively expensive variants, but "run of the mill" comic books. Likely, many purchase them on credit and end up paying much more for a new release comic books that may be "worthless" in a week. Of course, folks can spend their money on comic books as they wish.
