  1. Had a couple of books listed in the just finished Clink auction. Nothing big, just some left overs from the liquidation that I wanted to move. A mid run "Georgie", and a "Jeanie" and ASM 35 Cent variants #170, #171, #172 and #173. Very happy with the results. Again,nothing great just 'clean-up. Clink does seem like the best place to move the odd ball low census books.
  2. I hope you are in arrears on your taxes next year .......
  3. It is a common practice on eBay and other venues to have a couple of small transactions and then pull a major fraud. This person is just a disaster waiting to happen. Wouldn't you want a warning before this person pulled some stunt like this on a bigger book? Bio will not be made whole by this nomination, he is simply trying to warn others. The list is a PSA. Ignore it at your own peril.
  4. Picked these up bin diving today $8 well spent
  5. Not sure about that. Maybe I am mistaken, but wasn’t this the guy repackaging poly bags and trying to pass them as Mylar?
  6. Note to self: Whenever the vault opens on the Jimbo personal collection, be ready to pounce!
  7. @jimjum12 Are these all in your current collection? Amazing covers, you chose well!
  8. Maybe he ran into a problem, I think there may be a beer can shortage
  9. This is unfortunate, but also wholly insufficient If you can not provide a description of the problem that makes you suspect as well ....perhaps you could include your eBay handle
  10. I think it was a little more straight forward than that. The show garnered more than $90mil in syndication and there were zero in royalties for the crew Can hardly blame anyone for wanting nothing to do with that
  11. The winner is ultimately the seller (or more often scammer) The people who can least afford almost always lose Best and almost always ignored advice is run away
  12. Best of luck dodging those taxes, and if anyone should come knocking I don’t know you, I never met you.
  13. Public domain The constant extending of copyright has ruined characters and stifled imagination and creativity Characters created in 1938 have no business being copyright protected.
  14. Posting the same nonsense over and over does not make it true Mylar is over time cheaper and the books last longer Your logic is flawed. But I don’t think your desire to have the last word is going to persuade anyone. So have at it
  15. Your point was money vs preservation. Mylar is proven to offer better preservation and the money saved is negated by time spent rebagging - which I assume time is worth something. If you are all about cheap, get the TPB
  16. If you saved all that money, perhaps you should consider buying some candy for the trick or treaters next time around
  17. Your break down, breaks down under scrutiny. Re-bagging and lowered grades is an expense, unless you think your time is worth nothing. Your books will degrade and lose money compared to doing things right. Perhaps those who rate Mylar as archival quality, should just store historical documents as you suggest.
  18. It is because of collectors like you that my high grade books are worth more. The amount of books printed each month assures most of them will lose money The amount that are destroyed over the years assure that those that are stored well won’t lose money Carry on, those who prepare salute your short-sightedness
  19. Changing bags, especially when you are doing it in large quantity is when you are most likely to damage your books. This is bad advice.
