CGC's shipping charges are high as giraffe horns, but we all know that going in, and if selling the comics after grading, you know to bake that cost into the asking price. Otherwise, bend over and think happy thoughts.

A local shop in my town is a pawn shop with a lot of comics.  Comics and guns.  Lots of guns.

Is that a problem?

There was some confusuion though, as there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece: a headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.

I'm not sure I know what you are referring to.

As far as I can tell, for the USPS, 1st Class is running a little slow in my area. I don't ship via Media Mail anymore, so I can't say for sure on that, and Priority has been right on time.

FedEx and UPS have been only a little slow, if at all.

John Byrne's Dark Phoenix. I'd let her blast me to atoms... and love every nanosecond.







I blame Mr. Byrne for making me fall in love with every tothemarketdownthestreetforsomeCRAZY redhead...

I always make a little folded over "tab" to make tape removal easier, but the Mylars/Mylites/etc. have a tendency to hold onto the sticky when tape is peeled off. Best to use something proven, such as the "dots", or even painter's tape.

With polybags, I would never use anything thick to seal a bag because the weight of the bags & comics, while being possibly pressed together while in a box, can (not will, but can) leave indentations on comics through bags, but I've never seen this problem with Mylar.

Also, another pro-tip (I use that to put the Millennials at ease ), but if you type out your entire post then want things emboldened or italicized (or whathaveyou) as my post above shows, just highlight the word/phrase/sentence you want emphasized and then click the "B" or "I" or whatever at the top of the form. I used to type out the whole <b></b> (or whatever) on the old version of the board, but the new way is much easier.

What's best is if you start "dragging" from the bottom, you'll know when you have enough of the last quote because the "Quote selection" pop-up won't appear until you have dragged the cursor far enough.

It used to be easier, but at least this does work.

Should be your second option. I had a Cable #1 with half the gold foil missing, had it graded by CGC, & it came back a 9.x and was just noted on the label that foil was missing.

Both wrong. Mrs. Howell is the correct answer. She’s loaded and will die and leave me everything.

Very difficult to find dingleberries right now. .  Out of season and a shortage with the current pandemic so the supply is very low. You may have to resort to cultivating, growing, then picking your own dingleberries once ripe to satisfy dingleberry cravings. Not so difficult. Like anything else, patience and ingenuity will usually succeed.
