I came across several backing boards containing the name and address for Bargain Box in Zanesville, OH.

The address listed on their Facebook page is 575 Harding, Zanesville, OH

What is the address listed on the backing boards you got from them?

Very sad to hear this. 

Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Between this thread and the previous one, it's mind boggling to think of the amount of money that is now just gone.

Not to mention the value of the books he is holding onto that don't belong to him.

Again, the trimming was not removed via leaf-casting. It was done with dry grafting. 

Didn't Hero Restoration refer to it as Leaf Casting in his own post?

"Leaf casting cover and first wrap."

So in a batch of 25 you've now had 25 MEs.

It actually looks like, out of a batch of 25 books, he's had 26 MEs..........so far. 

10 the first time.

8 the second time.

5 the third time (4 with severe scuffing plus 1 with a crack)

3 the fourth time.

Sorry to hear this   I don't think CGC is evil but they can certainly make mistakes. 

I would normally agree with this.

But saying the video shows there was no magazine in the package.....and then refusing to share that video with the submitter......is absolute horsesh*t.

I had a few questions about the marketplace here:

Hello - this probably needs to get moved to a different part of the forum.

I can't reply to it. It's archived??

So, you can't resurrect (some) old posts now? I just re-opened my first post ever. I'm confused

Yeah.....that's why I didn't bump it up for you.

Not sure why it was archived......perhaps @CGC Mike could shed some light on that.

Thanks!!! How did you search it? I've been trying for 20 minutes, nothing. Maybe the hyphen did me in.

As you know, the search function sucks fried monkey butt.....so I didn't even bother using it.

I just clicked on your profile.....then clicked on "See their activity".......then clicked on "Topics" which shows all the threads you've created. 

I found the thread you were looking for on page two of the results.

I can't find my old posts with the search feature... and I'm done. A little help?

You've now got an AF15 Stunt Double that you can view while you keep your original locked away safe and sound.

Then he'll have to find a fake Stunt Case to store it in.

YOU'RE JUST ADDING TO THE PROBLEM ! ! !

I was thinking about maybe a little lockbox or something that I can keep somewhere safe without it taking up to much room.

Thieves hate small lockboxes that can be easily carried.

Which one would expect with that much of an impact.

Absolutely.  Looks like it took a pretty hard whack.

Seller claimed the slab is damaged but that "the comic itself is unharmed".....and then some door knob paid almost $2k for it.

Here is a prime example of how the holder should keep the comic intact via a hard impact. As you can see there is no staple tear with this one because it is secured in the holder.

 

Ebay Link

 

Adding photos in case the listing is archived/removed/deleted in the eBay system.

 

Staple and cover are fine:

The staple area looks like it might be ok.

But that book definitely suffered damage to the bottom right edge on the back cover.

One of them should do a Banksy type painting using the silhouette of a Simpsons character.........and then sign it "Bartsy".

You are not misunderstanding anything.  Not sure if anything can be done for the PL since I believe Brad is getting his books back and I am getting a refund, but boardies should be aware of the situation.

According to Brad when he previously asked where his books where he was told they were at cgc and hadn’t been shipped back.  This is all second hand information, as I was not involved in their dealings.

Deadlift is stating this was a mistake he is trying to now remedy, but I won’t be dealing with him again. 

In my opinion.....something like this could be considered a Hall of Shame level event.  I would like to hear from @Deadlift Collectibles about it (I realize he's supposed to be having surgery at some point, so may not be available to comment right now).

To claify again, I'm going to detail out the time line I gathered from your post in this and the other thread...and you can correct me if any of it is wrong.

• Over a year ago, Bronze AgeD BRAD sent the three books in question (ASM #300 CGC 9.8....Batman Adventures #12 CGC 9.8.....Marvel Team-Up #141 CGC 9.8) to Deadlift Collectibles to get reholdered for him.
• When Brad had previously asked Deadlift where the books were, he was told they were at CGC and hadn't been shipped back yet.
• You (Gsims718) then purchased these three books from Deadlift Collectibles.
• A month later...Brad contacts you and provides proof that those three books you purchased from Deadlift Collectibles actually belong to him.
• You are currently waiting for refunds for these three books to clear before returning them.

This all leads me to one observation and one question. 

1. If someone had three of my high value books for over a year just to get reholdered.....I would be up their arse every other day looking for updates.
2. Once your refund clears....who are you going to return the books to?  Hopefully it's to Brad.

Hoping Gene has a speedy recovery.

Maybe I should arrange so the spines are down, I just don't get slabs that have movement that would damage the edge being stored the other way though I probably should just default to spines down.

I store my books on their side with the spines down. 

I figure that eliminates any chance of the slab "holding" onto the cover while the interior pages slide down over time and rip the staples free from the cover.

I love doing this..

 

and God I hope he has more comics..

I'm picturing a desk with one of those green bankers lamps on it.

Sitting at it, while dressed in a suit and tie.....an 8 year old Ronald formally stamps the first page on each of his comic books.

I hear that.

You can ask for it from CL

True.....but I'm not going to do that for every book I might have an interest in.  They can either provide them initially, or I can look elsewhere.
