I figured out the problem. I do suggest you should all check this out.

My computer was 14.9 seconds off according to this neat website https://time.is/

So I believe what happens is that the auction page shows the exact time to the second, but when you click "place bid" that timer is showing the time of your computer. I adjusted my pc to be 0.9 seconds ahead, closest I could get it after a few tries. Now the pop up box time and the auction page time are in synch. 

 

Wow, 15 seconds is quite the difference, at least when it comes to last second bidding. Checked my PC and it's almost spot-on

Andddd another one.  No art notes.  No key notes.  Back to the frying pan and pray for no damage 🤷🏼

...and a 4-digit year! 

You'd think think all the static text on the label was already in the system and should print out fine every time (barring ink running out)...the only thing that varies is the cert # and grade.

Hi, I just received a book back that had a mechanical error, but this replacement holder has numerous internal scuffs and even a plastic shard in the inner well. When I try to submit it for a mechanical error online, it just tells me it's past the 14 day limit. How can I submit this again for a ME?

FFS Lois, stop looking at Supes, you're killing him! I love the cover dialogue in these oldies...Superman's response is gold 

Greggy, just how many slabs do you own? 

Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (Marvel Comics, 12/22) - 1st appearance of Vildar Mac, Matthea Cathley, Oliviah Zeveron, and Tey Sirrek in comics.

All are main characters in this run, thanks.

For more information about Newton’s rings, watch the video below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That video (unlisted on their YT channel btw) is hilarious...the basic gist is don't worry, Newton rings are just an "optical illusion", it's a trick of light, and it happens with all kinds of archival solutions...even on cell phones

Signed on X date.  *ERROR* that date hasn't happened yet are you sure you have the correct date?  Thanks computer!

I agree, seems like that should be a relatively easy automated check built in to the label creation process

I don't always know what day of the year it is... But when I do I know it's not may 28th 2023.

Plucking signatures from the future is an amazing service, well done CGC

Bought a huge Punisher lot on eBay that had 10 one-shots and 20 books for less than a dollar each before shipping (and barely more than a dollar each after).  These are the one-shots.  I guess Born is actually a 4-part mini series.

amazingly in a 30 book lot I only had two two of the issues already.

 

Wait, Frank Castle battled Moby D*ck?

@CGC Mike

This arrival not yet picked up, but it looks different than what I was told.via email to put on the mailing label address USPS? Just confirming I'm not in some kind of tracking, shipping vortex?

Strange. My UPS labels via Pirate Ship always change the city from Sarasota to Lakewood Ranch, but the street address always remains the same. It gets there fine regardless, thankfully

Very fortunate the slab survived. Skinny bubble mailer traveling media mail. New ebay seller.

Yikes, glad it worked out!

Spidey, Punisher, and Moon Knight...what a team!

As if backwards wasn't enough, they also had to put it upside down

With all the Marvel labels, one might think it'd only be a stones throw away from getting some Star Wars labels... 

Exactly! Kind of surprising we don't have any yet, it's not as if Star Wars is allergic to marketing and merchandising 

That's a nasty looking specimen...nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
