  1. Those books don't often turn up in those grades, but historically when they do they don't bring anywhere near those prices. I was astonished. I thought I'd have a chance at one or two of them, but at least 2 broke $1k, and neither of those were "key" books.
  2. Really remarkable stuff. Many of these books don't exist in 9.4, so to be able to get all of these is just outstanding.
  3. The cost of slabbing continues to rise at a pace that tempts me to send some stuff in. OTOH, if you're planning on selling via a 2nd party you can at least deduct the cost from your sales. But the biggest problem with slabs is that they take up SO much more room.
  4. I'll take the Strange Adventures 88 pending a scan.
  5. The Gangsters Can't Win, although not really pretty, seems to have defects associated with printing. While it's not a pretty 8.5, it seems within range for the grade. The grader's notes for the Sensation include back cover creasing, so front cover scans aren't going to tell the whole story. But Dean, for you to say you haven't trashed the Promise books is comical. But since 95% of your posts are trashing something, I could see how you don't see it that way.
  6. You could sell it all and get a camera that focuses!
  7. Get a picture of them with their ID. Leroy Harper was scammed in this fashion.
  8. I looked for one with a nice black border for a long time until I got a copy that's near perfect and realized the border is green.
  9. You're right! Even the alien is like, "come on, I've got places to be."
