Tec-Tac-Toe

Apparently, the thief left the current MHC discount code written on a note by the cash register. Accordingly, he received a discount on the reported $42,000 worth of stolen comic books. Yes, lame, like $42,000 worth.

Yes, but the University of Chicago is the best!

The last shipment that I received, 35 comic books, was in October 2018, and, although, no comic books were damaged, as you folks have commented, the packaging left a lot to be desired. My next submission, delayed since October due to work, will, hopefully, be sent in March 2019 and will consist of 35 to 50 comic books. I hope that when CGC ships them to me they have reverted back to the larger shipping boxes and substantially more secured packaging as i would not like, for the first time, to perhaps have to contact them concerning damaged items.

If not, those changes are, clearly, still not for the best.

Not if I can help it.

As a child, NJ holidays were the best. Of course, one tends to think that many, if not all, holidays were best when one was a child. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Unfortunately, as others have noted, based on the center photograph it appears that at least two pages have become loose from the staples.

Nooooooo! Pat, a happy "NJ holidays" to you and your family.

The last time that I saw that much fading I looked at the current prices of the comic books that I own compared to what I paid for them.

I own comic books that I purchased over a decade ago from DCBS with Mylites2 and 24 mil Half Backs (in hindsight, a waste of money on my part) that have been stored as delivered after I graded them and I have never encountered what is shown on the scan that you posted. Although I never encountered such from DCBS , could some of the comic books and/or 24 mil Half Backs that you received from DCBS have been damp (I have received damp modern comic books from other dealers but not damp acid free boards from E. Gerber or otherwise)? If I may, where are your comic books stored (is it humid; although I have never seen what you post when I have looked at modern collections stored in humid conditions-perhaps other board members have)? Lastly, if not for the fact that you note that "I'm finding a very large number of books that look like this on the back with the color bled onto the backing boards," I would hazard that the comic books that have color loss on the back exterior cover may have arrived like that from the printer as over the years I have seen many modern comic books with the noted defect. However, I imagine that you reviewed these comic books upon receipt and they were not in this condition.

I plan to; but have "planned to" since 2007 .

Well, that "stinks" even worse.

Roy, Wonderful news!

Yes, unfortunately it suffered "well sink," perhaps during shipment.

One fantastic cover! (Edit) And that $2250 copy is one of three in CGC 9.8.

I have not looked at those bags, or the comic books, in over 25 years, give or take. I imagine that the bags are, to say the least, "yellow;" the comic books better not be as they are stored in an acid "free" and climate controlled environment. Of course, the material that they are stored in is worth more than most of the comic books.

What some would call "sad," is that I still have the bags. Perhaps I can sell them on eBay.

I am laughing at myself because I removed the comic books from the bags but kept the bags.

Yes, MST.
