just seeing this for the first time---way to go, sir! what a great book. btw, i'da said "really beautiful." Thank you, Billy That means a lot coming from you, George.

The Church copies are a real tread. I own and have owned quite a few Crowley copies in this grade range. However, even though a Crowley copy might have the same technical grade as a Church copy, the Church will most likely be superior in both, color and pq. It is a thrill to own either a Crowley or a Church copy, but the Church books are usually superior to the Crowleys George

Nice #49 is such a cool cover George

These are amazing books, Bill. Love the Church copy Congrats George

Very beautiful! Welcome to the VF club

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any

Great achievement

One of my most favorite books

perhaps you could get a lien against the property that would have to be settled if he ever did try to sell it I am not a lawyer and have never played one on tv. Well, the court order I have pretty much functions as a lien as well. I contacted the marshal in charge and was told that the house Uthe was living in was sold, which means that he no longer owns the property either. The problem is that the state itself (DA) went against him, to which Uthe obviously had to pay a lot (who knows how much and for what). Of course the state will always take first what it can get its hands on and then care for everybody else, so I am not sure if there is anything left for me to get. My attorney is currently in contact with the DAs office and is trying to find out what exactly happened, what is left an possibly if any comics were seized etc.. That guy truly cost me a lot, but I am happy he is out of traffic for now

Thank you. I appreciate this a lot, but there is really no need

Unfortunately not, as I was never present at any of the trials, but he was described to me as a short, greasy, troll like individual with short beard and belly in his late 50's

Thanks, guys. There was a LOT of cooperation and help from the local police department, lawyers and marshals. The chief of police in Hameln was even willing to serve as a witness in court. It seems like everyone in the area knew him and his despicable person and wanted to have him stopped.

After scamming me and stealing a lot of money from me, I went to court against Wilhelm F. Uthe. It lasted almost two years and the end of it was more than disappointing as Uthe had conned so many people and institutions in his dirty life that he had even found a way to con himself out of paying me back my money. He was living in Dreischenbreite 2, in Hameln, Germany. The only thing he owned was a property upon which a house with several apartments was build. However, the house that was built on his property did not belong to him but to someone else. In exchange for letting the owner of the house build the house on his property, Uthe was given an apartment to live in. The apartment however did not belong to him, but to the owner of the house and since someone else's house was built on Uthes' property, the court couldn't seize the property either. Upon this day neither my attorney, nor the DA have any idea how this had been accomplished by Uthe as this is clearly illegal in Germany. The point is that Uthe did not have ANY possessions in his name that the court could seize. Therefore the court ordered that Uthe owes me a certain amount of money and will be owing it to me until he pays it back with interest in xx years. Unfortunately, the chance of ever seeing a single penny from him is of course 0 All of this ended about 18 months ago. To my surprise, my attorney contacted me last week, informing me that in these last 18 months Uthe had been charged for fraud by his state and that he was convicted and finally............. went to prison a few weeks ago Unfortunately prison in Germany is like vacation in a spa motel, but it is a start. I honestly hate going to court against a private person and never had to do it before, but it certainly gives me some peace knowing that Uthe is slowly and FINALLY getting what he deserves.

I've never had any problems paying HA with Paypal When was the last time you did? Was it for something over $2,500? Both, more and less than that amount.

Well, there is a 1.2 inch spine split at the bottom (actually a slim part of the spine is gone, but the back cover is complete and all there), 0.3 inch spine split at the top, the cover is barely attached to the top staple and the cf is detached. Other than that just general wear. No pieces missing (other than that slim spine part) and just tiny tears at the very top and very bottom of the cover.

Thanks Bob and AJ

Thank you (thumbs u I love this copy for so many reasons. Mainly because it was signed by Moldoff (and the sig looks great IMO), looks very nice for the grade and has almost perfect pq. Unfortunately it got into a purple holder as the cf is married. Loose, but married.

I highly doubt it. Why would they guarantee for a product of another company/ pgx
