Spoken like a true ‘East Coaster’ Berkley is closer to Oakland and San Francisco Not sure I would classify that as San Jose area

I have found several 35 cent books with a store stamp “Comics and Comix” with a Berkeley CA address.

What’s the candle power on that camera Jimbo

With the recent uptick in Conan interest, still no movement on Chamber of Darkness #4? Was this story repurposed as ‘Conan’ in a later issue?

Did you ask your prospective employee if they were a Yankee fan? Entitled cheaters .... don’t trust them EVER

14 years ago Can you possibly be more out of sync?

Misplaced decimal point

To best avoid any posting violations, all freebies may be directly mailed to me. Glad to help

To the OP As a previous poster suggested , get a trace from the postmaster at your PO Then get a statement from the recipient declaring the item never arrived Take the report on the trace and recipients statement to the Postal inspection service and request an investigation for theft That would at the very least provide you with proof for insurance claim. No one in the USPS (including the Post Master) wants anything to do with PI. It often shakes things lose and positive things develop

That is correct, once paid belongs to the insuring agency or USPS So unless this consignor in the Auction is a party to the USPS, they are still complicit in the theft. Report the incident to Postal Inspection service, someone will be in a world of hurt

That is my LCS Brian always has a great stock of back issues

Added to my travel list - Thanks!

Thanks Shad! Plan on taking the 80, so will check it out.

Will definitely check it out Thanks!

Will do, Thanks!

Agree 100% here But I am taking a more northerly route I hit Bedrock City on the way out. Richard is the best!

Doing a Roadie from Massachusetts to Sacramento CA area. Looking for suggestions for Comic Book shops along the way. Looking only for back issues Bronze /Silver Any suggestions appreciated!

Maybe I take things to literally, but doesn’t the ‘offer’ include the word “ best”? If I follow the ‘best offer’ I don’t expect a ‘counter’ nor do I give a half-assed offer as ‘best’

Raw has all the appeal without paying for the slab and comes with less downside risk. Purely preference, but I like the slab for the highest grade examples The appeal for me is to keep 9.4/9.6 in a Mylar

9.0/9.2 Bronze are senseless if the 9.8 is within reach Consider wrap, and if the book is unpressed. A check box on those 2 outweigh the PQ IMHO Also look for other defects such as discolored staples as well as misplaced or dented staples, presentation, color strike and especially the dreaded SCS Also consider personal preferences such as date stamps (personally, I love them, but individual preference may vary) or unverified signatures on the interior which some may consider like GLOD cover sig. I have found PQ to be random as resubs I have sent move up and down at random. So if you plan to get a sig or resub you could lose your vaunted ‘WP’. If there is any chance of a resub I would take a cheaper OW-White because there is so much less to lose and still a decent chance to upgrade the PQ And of course trust what your eyes tell you. As previously mentioned the PQ designation can be quite random I would personally keep saving for 9.8 if that were in reach

You are about as believable as OJ Pretty sure we all know who the ‘real shiller’ is here

Found this low grade 35 cent variant in the wild. $2.99

Thanks for sharing your books Billy! Really enjoy those ASM

Incredible books, but do you have any ‘readers’ us mortals can relate to Mr Parker?

Dear Dylan, The world has other things to worry about. Wild fires, riots , pandemics. The world is losing no sleep over your funny books. Get over yourself. Sincerely, "the world'
