  1. Good prices, good communication, and bullet proof packaging. I highly recommend Jon as a Seller.
  2. I was the underbidder on this book. Even with the BC problems I think I still would have bid but it's annoying that Clink does not display the BC. I like what HA does, selectively display the BC, usually to show any issues. Personally, I would crack this book out of the slab. The FC is so nice and you won't see the BC with a Backing Board. If the BC bothers you contact me if you ever want to get rid of it, seriously !
  3. Tom, can you clarify the columns in your list. Is the first number the issue or # 9.8's ?
  4. You are correct Sir..... http://www.comicpedigrees.com/gallerydetail.php?item=106745
  5. Just got this from CGC. Not the grade I was hoping for but it's still a cool book to own.
  6. I totally concur with your concerns. Many Board members don't have a serious location in their profile, they should if they are going to sell. To be honest, there just aren't enough Board members that seem to care about this issue. Shipping costs are suppossed to be listed but it's absence is not enforced by the usual self appointed Board Police. I hope your concerns are heeded. Good luck !
  7. These books are insane. You, sir, are my new idol. Great collection !
  8. Dan, for the record, I like your methodology of resubmitting old label books. It is an honest endeavor, taking advantage of nothing more than CGC's evolving grading opinions and your good eye. By not pressing you are keeping the purity of the comic and saving yourself a lot of money. Kudos. However, when it comes to pricing these big upgrades, personally I would see a win/win price for both buyer and seller. Knowing the book was upgraded would not bother me at all if I knew I got it for a significant discount. Though I don't believe I have made a purchase with you yet, I enjoy your selling threads and hope you keep them coming. (thumbs u
  9. Without taking any sides about the Namisgr's post I have a question for the Boards... 'If' you were the buyer = actually bought the book in the ballpark of the 4K asking price, and later found out the book was a 9.0 would you be upset ?
  10. Great set of books, especially the page quality ! I have never seen a couple of these covers. Congrats.
  11. I think neither you nor Trey belong on the PL. I think Trey was bypassing the first Sales Guideline by knowingly selling a PGX book. He furthered that by not revealing it was a PGX book. To my mind that is an offense that goes beyond the PL. To quote the PL rules themselves: The following Board Members are currently on "Probation" for failure to complete a Marketplace Forum transaction in good faith after one month's time. That did not happen. As even Watson agrees, the transaction itself was not the issue. Earlier I suggested that 3 attempts to sell a non-GC book would result in an HOS vote. I would like to amend that to 2 attempts. One warning and on the 2nd occasion an HOS vote can be initiated. One of the other rules in the PL is that someone can be removed from the PL if the two parties can come to an agreement. What you did wrong was make that almost impossible by deslabbing the book and keeping it for yourself...until the feedback issue came up. As I also said earlier, how many times have we gotten on someone's case for buying from Robo? And when the person admits they did not know about Robo they are usually told that by buying form him they help him continue his methods. I see no difference here. Buying from Trey, realizing it was a PGX book, saying nothing about it and cracking it out for yourself : that is allowing him to continue selling non-CGC books undisclosed The PL also states, in order to get off the list: If the accused makes full restitution to the satisfaction of the accuser, the accused will be removed from the PL. . What restitution are you entitled to? What happened in the transaction you did not agree with? You obviously agreed to a PGX book by cracking it out and putting it in a mylar for your collection rather than returning it. Basically both you and Trey have screwed the Probation List seven ways from Sunday. I'm not sure what conclusion you are drawing here. Are you saying Trey should not be put on probation because there is no way for him to get himself removed from probation ?
  12. I commented on this in the original thread that was deleted. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to bring it up but I would like to discuss the issue of zero tolerance of comments in a sales thread. If I remember Trey's sales thread correctly, someone inquired about the PGX slab and basically Trey told them to mind their business and stay out of the sales thread. It is possible, if this issue was pursued in the sales thread, this event would never have happened. The Boards don't tolerate comments in a sales thread to protect the Seller. However, what about the buyer. Saying a book is not in a PGX slab when it is, misrepresenting GPA statistics, etc. should be challenged. Anybody else agree with me ?
  13. This would be an interesting experiment for resubbing. It can't be downgraded to .0 !
  14. Oh no, the date stamp is my birthday!?! Normally I would try and obtain a book with my birthdate stamped on it but this is too big of a book. Unbelievable copy.
  15. As always, great books but the lonely DC looks out of place. I love that Hawkman cover.
  16. Check out the bid history. Since 250.00 the price as been run up by two competing bidders, each with a rank of 0.
  17. That has to be a grand feeling, knowing you have the best. Yeah but it won't last long. I'm sure a higher graded, pressed to kill, will come along soon. I got this graded about a year ago, from my personal collection, never been pressed. I'm surprised it's lasted this long as highest graded.
  18. the #11 w/ the black cover makes sense but why the #12? hepcat's is the nicest copy of that book i can remember seeing No idea. It`s always been a mystery why those Aquamans are harder to find in high grade than the earlier issues. You might think it`s because their prices aren`t high enough to draw supply from the woodworks, but there`s no shortage of Aquamans in the 20s and onwards. Just took a look at the census.... 11,12, and 14 have only a single 9.4 each as highest graded. 17 has a single 9.6 and no 9.4's . 13,15,16,18,and 19 have single 9.8's . 18, the wedding cover, seems to be the most plentiful. Besides the 9.8, 3 X 9.6, and 2 X 9.4 .
