  1. Thank you so much to Dover for a fantastic grouping of 9.8 books and some raws that were packed amazingly safe and quickly mailed. Appreciate filling the gaps in my collection dealing with you Michael!
  2. Thanks for the advice on the bags, as Brian (bghkoyama) to show me these recently, and I LOVED the look. Now I know where to buy them. PM sent to Nik, DrWatson, and Resurrection with the details. I'd like your expert opinion if you would call that a straight book and tell someone this when asked. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Fine, even tho i was the first to defend you, dont pm me. You're right. I'll share, but the seller saw the photos and now totally agreed the book is cut odd and said to send it back with shipping covered. Solid results!

  4. Sorry guys, didn't come back to this thread until now. Let me get some groceries for cooking today and when I get back I'll post the original photo the seller had where he said it was "The book is straight but for some reason the scan came out all crazy looking" and then a straight-on what the book really looks like. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Where's Roy when we need him to do a dance as part of intermission?
  5. I guess the bags being removed were extra sauce on this rotten taco that left a bad taste overall.
  6. I have to agree with this statement. CGC is not losing any money here like an eBay would, so why boycott? All it does is cuts down on the volume of activity on their servers - that's it. The same folks boycotting are most probably still engaging in the Comics General thread, so no loss of discussion activity.
  7. Quick question about the buyer experience on here with graded books. Someone had listed two CGC 9.6 books, and one of the books had what appeared to be a very odd slant to the top of the book. Before making an offer on both books, I sent a PM asking about this. The response I received from the seller was "The book is straight but for some reason the scan came out all crazy looking." He appeared to be a long-term seller that I've never noted a complaint about, so I took him at face-value. After agreeing on an amount and paying within 10 minutes so as never to be a holdup, the books get shipped. That is my normal practice with anyone on here unless there is a very special circumstance. The package arrives superbly protected, but upon removing the book I had a concern with there is definitely a very slanted cut to the book from the manufacturer that I was told "The book is straight." Then, being new CGC cases, the seller keeps the CGC bags rather than send them with the books. Asking the seller what happened to the bags, his response is "Yeah the bags got miss placed sorry about that." Am I wrong to be disappointed in this transaction where someone is not being up-front when asked about the cut of a book and then nickel-and-diming a quick-paying buyer by keeping the scratch-protectant bags? I never do this to buyers, so I wanted to feel this out what the consensus is here.
  8. The page quality of "Cream" and that cover just should not go together.
  9. Another super transaction with skinny_white_boy with wonderful books, amazingly safe packing, and quick shipping. Josh, you make every transaction wonderful due to your level of care. Thank you! If only you would stop posting "CGC it!" next to your raw listings.
  10. :o and Right on! I always worshipped the Zeck Cap covers with Deathlok. Some of this best work next to the Punisher mini series covers.
  11. Home Depot carries the 5-shelf heavy duty units for $39-$49 when they are having sales, and the wheels are extra.
  12. I still say you have bragging rights as the 1st on here, IMHO.
  13. A very big thanks to Peter Palmer for going out of his way to have James O'Barr personalize two sketch books to my sons at his last appearance in Texas. Adam, you are fantastic for doing this. Thanks so much!
  14. One of my favorite series. Pokerkid's Xenozoic 1 CGC 9.8 was totally impressive as well. I never even noticed the playing cards on the table until he bought the book. Nice find!
  15. Thanks so much to skinny_white_boy (yup, another skinny_white_boy junky at it again) for a fantastic Wolverine 10 CGC SS 9.4 wrapped securely and quickly shipped. Joshua, you made my day!
  16. Now that is a class act having a seller recognize buyers before the books even go out, and especially those that paid immediately. But that's you Fay - a class act! Very rare!
  17. Thanks to Foolkiller for a fantastic Spectacular Spider-Man 27 CGC 9.6 WP to help round out my Miller collection. I appreciate everything Brian!
  18. My pleasure Ray. You made it super-smooth with that rapid-fire payment. Enjoy them!
  19. Tremendous Book... Hard to find and easy to sell! How fast do you think Resurrection sent a PM on this book? 5 seconds? 10?
  20. Xenozoic Tales - The reason why my first purchase on here was Death Rattle 8 (1st Xenozoic).
  21. Thanks to curves&comics for a superior shipment of raw and graded books, packed as if they were being sent to the space shuttle for safe delivery. Your top-notch MJ!
