  1. You've really got me liking those Tarzan Tip Tops. Just what I need, one more theme to collect!
  2. Awesome books! Christmas covers are great but when you throw in a little Cole you definitely get winners!
  3. Beautiful books! The Diary and Eerie have always been favorites
  4. i said i would go with the board and there have been a lot of people i do respect comment so refund offered through paypal.
  5. And that is the attitude I've seen since I told him about the damage. His packing is beyond reproach since the books were double boxed, never mind that double boxing is worthless when the books are free to bounce around inside the box because they aren't taped to the cardboard press in the middle and the press isn't taped together with more than one piece of cellophane tape. Instead to him it's more likely that, after my 5 years on the board and buying thousands and thousands of dollars worth of books here, I decided to pull a book out of a bag by the corner of the front cover and then, to cover the damage, crushed the corner of the book and the 1/2 back to fool and rip him off. And I decided to do that over a f'n $175 book; it's a ludicrous as it is maddening. Right now he is just another sell who "didn't have a problem refunding his money" until it actually came time to do it. Hate to tell you, but you wouldn't be the first one to try to pull that scam and I have always refunded anyone's money but this doesnt even closely look right. Corner bang yes, could happen; ripped corner INSIDE the dang bag, no way. That's where my problem lies. And no need to start cursing and ranting, that's why we're taking it here
  6. that was packing though, mine was double boxed and you can check my sales thread for the before pics, it wasn't brittle at all 7.5 copy with real nice pages.
  7. Hey guys, I didn't have a problem refunding his money if the book was banged up but have any of you honestly seen a corner ripped off from inside a bag? The only time I've seen this is when a book was snatched out of the bag and ripped. This was a high grade book so its not like the paper was weak. Most of you guys have bought from me before, books are double boxed and cardboarded and I've never had any problems with shipping. I told him if the majority of the board said this could totally happen this way I would honor its integrity and give him a refund. I personally do not see a way for this to have happened during shipping
  8. It's your book(s), do what you want with them. You seem excited about getting the signature so go for it. Front cover, inside, whatever will make you happy! I second that. I had some ECs signed a few years ago that could have been sig series but there was no point but whats the chances of you having the opportunity for those sigs again? These guys arent getting any younger, get the sig CGC or no.
  9. An EC title I never got into but those are some beautiful Wood covers!
  10. I'm glad a UNC guy and a Dukie can agree on something! Yeah cuz I'm pretty sure it's not going to be about the game Saturday!
  11. Great looking run! Some great covers in there
  12. i am out of my skull for this one. when i got out of my limited jumbo run [9-20, missing a 9], i kept the 10 and 17 cuz i love 'em so. this one is just so wonderful. Thanks, Billy. Given the history of reds on FH titles, the reds and purple on this one are just stunning. No joke that it looks freshly printed. That's a crazy cover! The colors are fantastic!
  13. Good stuff as usual, Richard! The Punch 1 is especially cool to me!!
  14. Congrats on a great start to your year! The Horrific has always been a favorite.
