I honestly don't have many strong opinions about his artwork (still not a fan though, his art reminds me of this meathead jock I co-mingled with in HS who would doodle semi-decent sketches during class), but I mainly dislike his personality. He's so up in own bootyhole and has such a fragile ego. For a good time, go to his Whatnot stream and watch him angrily ban people, and maybe join in on the fun! I'm currently banned for asking if his latest overpriced sketch of Deadpool he was hocking was Deadpool if he injected Mexican steroids into his man boobs.

Thanks for the heads up. How do you know he filed an unauthorized charge with the bank? Just curious how that works with ebay.

Typically when someone does this, eBay creates their own case so that the customer can't try to dispute it or receive a refund on eBay's end. If that wasn't the case, the customer would be effectively attempting to double dip. Some ding-dong did something similar to me last year and complained that I was being unreasonable by not allowing a refund. Bro I can't give you a refund if you made an unauthorized charge! Blame eBay's comprehensive and reasonable return policy.

I'll double check when I get home but I remember here on the boards when they changed it and a few people pointed out that it doesn't fit anymore.

I wonder how new the change is. I ordered some 1097 and 1095s a month ago and they fit inside. Hmm

They've redesigned the boxes and the 1097 no longer fits inside a 1095.

Really? USPS shows 1097 being 13-7/16" x 11-5/8" x 2-1/2" and 1095 being 15" x 12" x 3-1/8". I just ordered 2x 25 packs of each, so hopefully it's still the same sizes.

When I ship out slabs, I put them in the 1097 within a bubble wrap envelope, then put them in a 1095. Double cushion that mofo.

Stoked for this! Will try to get there early.

Guh, I sent 2 packages to CGC - one was a Pre-Screen Modern and the other was a non Pre-Screen Modern (yes I know I could put 2 in 1 package, but the first package wouldn't fit the other) - and the 2nd package has been "moving in transit" for over 7 days (last scanned on 12/29) while the first one was delivered (and SFG) days ago. Praying it's not lost.

Finally some movement after 2 weeks. Scary stuff, definitely going to add extra insurance from now on.

Glad you liked it! It was fun putting it together for you. And I hope you liked the wrapping paper…

Ah! I knew it was "comic" something lol. Thank you for the present and comics (as well as the wrapping paper!)

Gah I'm sorry I didn't fill out the form! Had alot of family activities these past few days and I biffed it. Thanks for making it easy and assigning my submission to myself.

I've read someone suggesting grader's notes on every single comic, which honestly would hopefully solve (or partially solve) this issue and win some good-will with the userbase. Even if they jacked up the price $5, I'd be totally ok with having some much more detailed notes on each submission.

Thanks to @FigaroToe for the great gifts of comics and lifesavers. And an extra special thanks for the autraghed card of one of the greatest Kansas State Wildcats to wear the silver and purple Deuce Vaughn!

 

Glad you dug it!! Happy holidays! 

3rd to last, goodie!

Hmmmm, not sure why the iPhone pics didn't go thru.  Trying again

Damn did you really get a Pappy in the mail??

Hello,

I've received a few books recently and I'm considering sending a few back for ME due to scuffs and smudge issues. They're inside the plastic (PolyWatch didn't help). My issue was that I'm unsure if these are considered ME worthy.

Basically all of mine have shipped out, thank you CGC for busting out so many right before the holidays!

Shipping mine out tomorrow (Priority Mail). Want to get a few more things and then the package will be complete!

Wow both of my GEI submissions went to G/QC this morning. Both were pre-screen 9.8. 

Sidenote: does anyone who does pre-screens look at the charge you get and try to estimate how many rejects there will be?

Woo! Just got my present, anxiously awaiting the big day to open it

Unlimited Value 

Received: 12/7

G/QC: 12/8

12/11 still G/QC...

Mine reached G/QC a week and 1/2 ago, still there. Typically it goes from G/QC to Shipping in a day, seems to be really backed up 

edit: just shipped!
