This topic reminds me of 'Canceled Comic Cavalcade'. Anyone have a copy? Does it wrap-up the story lines? Is it a good read?

One more reminder why the mods require a return policy.

That is not what is happening here. Return the dam book per the terms in thread or don't. But dont keep talking payments AND keep the book.

I sold my 9.8 Marvel Spotlight #32 last year. No regrets, bought it raw for like $40 on eBay.

That will give the blues. May need medications and group therapy for that one.

ASM 100 I'll go $55

Hi Barton all the ASM Please

Not sure about the book, but the Hulk's toenail looks nicely trimmed

A labor contract supercedes the law. It most often is in the employees favor, but not always. Additionally USPS is a federal employer, they dont follow all state laws such as having a license plate on vehicles.

Chicago I believe.

Great News Now let's see the book!

I understand what you are thinking but it is chain of control , not time in transit that makes things secure. Money orders take seconds to fill out, and yet they are forged and fraudulently pilfered at a high rate. A package can be dumped your porch in seconds, but having a signature required takes more time- which is more secure?

. Part of USPS training for every employee is the chain of custody of Registered mail. It is as I stated the MOST SECURE. Someone pays when it is lost or stolen. A letter Carrier on a relay route left a registered package in a push cart while he went into a business, when he returned (no more than a couple of minutes later) the "Regi" was gone - he paid $70,000 out of his pay. I am very familiar with deviant behavior is the USPS, just llike anywhere else. I personally knew 3 clerks who were hauled out in cuffs in one day at the same Post Office. But it is usually for money Orders. That is statistically the #1 area of fraud. As for speed I told you at every step it is slow- why do you keep arguing that? The point is SECURE and that is the most secure. If you send $30Kpackages any other way , you are not thinking clearly. Priority has no security, there are insurance limits. Your freind is exagerating and knows not what he is talking about - is he 'disgruntled'?.

I dont know where you got your information, but it is not accurate. Everyone who touches registered mail signs for it - that is why it is slow. The last person who signs for it is personally responsible - they attach your pay. I was a letter carrier for the PO and I can tell you Express and priority were dropped off in bags where no one was there. If no one at the airport signed for registered mail I brought it back and got signed off. I occasionally took the airport run when the special delivery messenger was not working. No one EVER returned without the registered signature or the package(s). The bags had a complete list by number of contents in the bag and the bag had a lock with a registry number. It was the most secure by far. It was stored in a locked cage or safe at every location. It took so long at times because you had to find the accountable clerk to get signed off.

If you live in the south, mother nature does that for you every summer

Without dragging this too deep into old arguments Let me summarize The question was asked:Why are pressed books not noted on label or graders notes? A: Because there is no way to distinguish between a ‘pressed’ book and a book that was packed tightly in a box and was pressed naturally from storage This answer has been disputed and I take no position on this answer one way or the other. But it is the stock answer for why pressing is not on the label or in graders notes

You need a history lesson. The "NOD" failed because members lied about pressing. All books that are not original owner by you are likely pressed and you have no way to determine otherwise. Books packed tightly in a box are 'pressed' and there is no way to determine by what method the pressing took place or so CGC tells us...

That is the ONLY way to send an expensive book. FedEx and UPS have no good option to insure that high, and for what they do have you will need an attorney to get pennies on the dollar. BTW for remote addresses, both FedEx and UPS drop shipments in the US mail. No profit in providing service to remote areas. What would concern me is that it was sent 2-3day which means priority. If it was Priority, the sender was irresponsible. This should have been sent Registered, whuich is very slow but as secure a method as you can find

I pack all my short boxes tightly. So all books are pressed by me.

Which means a ton of subs coming up. Nothing like a GPA spike to bring out the raw 9.8’s

Won an auction for SW lot. Shipping was $9.60. Package arrived "postage due" for $8.65. Seller told me to pay it and he will get that to me. Wrong, back it went

Mr Parker threw me off nice stealth post
