Yes, halfbacks are 24 mil thick, basically the thickness of your average comic board and Fullbacks are 42 mil, almost, but not quite twice as thick.

+1 Honestly, I can not see this format being viable for any extended period of time. If no one else has been able to compete with ebay auctions, I doubt the cgc forum will buck that trend long term.

The reason I said "…the mode, or what passes for it…" was because I realize that exact prices are not going to be duplicated very often, so considering close prices to be the same would probably suffice. It still does not make it any more relevant, since it can still be an outlier. The only reason I used median, was because it seemed to be the term you meant.

That was why it was driving me crazy

Why are you sorting by highest listed? Very misleading, like someone pulling up a chart of NFLX stock 6 months ago. Not highest listed, highest sold, and not 6 months, 90 days. The most important sales are the highest ones, not the ones that fall through the cracks or poor listings. I'd say the most important sales are the mode, or what passes for it, as anyone can get a deal or made a poor purchasing decision. If you really think the high results are what's important, then the recent sales of Turok #1 at $6 and $4.50 means that the speculators from the '90s are actually going to make money on that, and we know that that isn't going to happen. What's a "mode"? And have you ever sold books? It's a pretty common mathematical term. Thanks! (Although not at all applicable here.) Depending on what you're trying to figure, I would say it is. The most common value that a book has sold for is going to provide a good guide as to what you should expect to get for it, or pay for it. Now, if you're very patient and don't particularly care whether a book actually sells, then maybe the highest price point matters in that it provides a guide as to what someone who is not paying attention to average prices might overpay for a copy. But I imagine one would make more money (from selling more books), by referencing not only the highest price (paid by one person who now has his book), but rather the prices that people are commonly willing to pay. I'm sorry, but this is driving me crazy, divad is right The mode is not at all applicable here. If 2 books sold for 12 shekels and the other sales were 6, 16, 17, 19, 20 ,21, 22, 24, 28, 37, and 49 shekels. The most common value of 12 shekels, ie:, the mode, does not really represent what you would expect to sell at. What you are interested in is the median sale. The one that falls squarely in the middle of all other sales. In the example: 20 shekels. This reduces the effect of outliers on both the high and low sides and is a good predictor for additional sales.

I would surmise that mothball odor is significantly different than smoke and may be less affected by kitty litter. For these, I would think constant air exchange around the book to promote the release of VOC's (or similar) would be better than sealing them in a box. A fan directly blowing on the books would be overkill, as any air exchange around the books should do. for example a room with CH&A, as long as it is not in a "dead air" corner should be adequate circulation.

Under the circumstances, I don't think their backing out is probation worthy. Whether PL worthy or not. It would be poor form to nominate.

Accelerated payment requirements only provide one additional protection for the seller in regards to the probation list. That is: once the buyer defaults, by not meeting the sellers early payment requirement, the seller can immediately turn around and resell the item. Without the accelerated payment clause, the buyer would be able to nominate the seller up to day 30, as: "it was sold out from under me" Accelerated payment requirements have no other effect on the PL requirements. Note: it appears that if the seller sells the item at a loss before the 30 day period, there would be no PL recourse for the difference, as the buyer could claim, "well, I was able to get the money together, but you didn't give me the chance". However, if you nominate the buyer on day 30 and sell the item at a loss on day 33, it appears that the nomination would stand.

I agree but my suggestion addresses two shortcomings of the current process - perhaps I erred when I chose to use the 72 hour PL notification period as the grace period since that exists already, maybe it should have been any default on an agreed upon payment date gets one week + the 72 hour PM notification. I am going to channel POV The 30 day rule is there for a reason. If you want different terms in your agreement, that is fine. Your different terms do not affect the Probation List rules. [/POV channeling]

In January 30th of December. But January sounds so much further. I should have just said in 2015 to really give it a poke. Sorry, Roy.

The 30 day period is only for Probation List Nomination. If your require shorter payment terms, your option as a seller is to cancel the transaction when the buyer does not meet those terms.

In January

30 days from failure to meet contract conditions ie when payment was due Yes. Seller is not meeting the contract conditions. This is why a nominal non-refundable down payment is probably the way to go

I have no idea of his motives, just that he manipulated someone else's commercial art, to claim as his own. I feel that the manipulation was to such an extent that it was far enough removed from the original, to be a new work, especially at the time it was produced. Clearly there are many here who disagree, but I believe many opinions are clouded by 50 years of pop art hindsight. Additionally, the internet doesn't translate the argument for RL well, since the works look essentially the same on a computer screen. Would this fly today? No, but mostly because there would be nothing new or novel about it. As an aside. I don't really care for RL's works. Although I think he or his agents were genius at marketing.

Actually, you also have the 72 hour waiting period after the PM notification of being nominated for PL

He can not be nominated for PL until 12/7, 30 days after your final payment. That doesn't preclude you from taking action via paypal and you probably should file on your earliest payments ASAP.

Also, I would buy the 725M2 rather than the 700M2 as you can handle a much wider variety of books all the way to bronze age. 1/4" wider to be exact

It is not a very popular thickness. It costs nearly as much as the 2 mil in large quantities, so most distributors will not stock it. If you are purchasing in small quantities, I would not count on the price staying the same, especially if you are buying from the one ebay seller who is selling these. It appears that he bought a pallet of the entire range of Gerber products and he is selling these at the closest to his cost. You would be able to restock from the factory once he sells out, but they have a minimum shipping and handling cost of $15. I would recommend the 2 mil.

+1 Which is why I don't have a problem with the lack of credit to Heath, et al..

You are making an assumption of an efficient market with perfect information, which clearly this is not.

Think about this statement. Then think about the type of collector "who slab their books so they can have an "official" grade". Now, how many of those collectors are collecting a defunct title, with relatively few books worth slabbing? The market for the RRP is substantially different than that of the S8B. A single RRP was distributed to individual retailers, who were far more likely to slab to maximize profit on the one book received. The S8B was distributed to collectors. The RRP was distributed 12 years ago, when CGC was in full swing with its marketing efforts rather than 24. The RRP was "worth" slabbing almost immediately upon release, when the majority of copies would be 9.4 or better, instead of 15-20 years later, when the majority of S8B copies would be 9.4 or worse. There are also far more S8Bs sitting in collections gathering dust, compared to RRPs.

Check out Frailty where he both acted and directed

Oh, and PP changes their stuff around so often, it is highly annoying. Also, quite dangerous as a buyer, when you thought you had your CC to fall back upon and they pull it from your bank account instead.

I don't understand? If you are paying for goods and services, the seller should be paying all the fees. You should not also be stuck with fees.
