  1. Have you tried with 90 degrees L ruler? It can tell you it's not 90 degrees.
  2. This is the only major defect on the copy. I have CGC 9.2 with 6 stress marks on the spine and one tiny crease on the lower right corner. This is a better copy than my CGC copy.
  3. Hello everybody, Just one book - $330 shipping. Rule: No Probies/HOS. Shipping is included for CONUS only. Outside CONUS, please PM for the shipping quote. trumps over PM at about the same time only. PayPal only. Returning the book if any misrepresentation.
  4. 40 years ago, I was in my junior year in a high school. Damn!
  5. Ok, I will try my best to be nice. I have survived here and I have seen those inane (sometimes insane) comments here for nearly 12 years. Remember you are still a N00b and you are always welcome to the board. Just cope with us until you are becoming one of us. You are still good and you have some interesting comments. You seemed inquisitive but you need to tone it down little bit. That is all.
  6. All key issues are easily sold on eBay using the auctions. All non-key issues are hard to sell on eBay but I always use BIN (Buy it Now). It works for me well. Selling here is tough but few well reputed sellers have sold books well here. Speaking of the shipping methods: DON'T use Media Mail (up to few weeks and they may open the packages for the inspection), Use First Class or Priority Mail. I think First Class is slightly cheaper but it takes up to 9 business days. Priority Mail is much faster and can take it up to 70 lbs. I normally pack 2-4 books for Priority Mail. First Class must be accepted with 16 ounces. I use Gemini box for both First Class or Priority Mail.
  7. I believe the young generation is aggressive to grab many key issues as much as they can. They may throw their money for anything that has the potential money-wise or value. They gamble but I do gamble sometimes but I don't do the extreme thing or double in price. Right now, all key issues are scarce and tough right now. I used enjoying buying many great books included some key issues at the estate sales for ten years but this year, I don't see anything valuable in those comic books anymore. I am more likely to be shut out for the first time. This is apparent no reason for being aggressive that may put us out of fun for being a long while.
  8. This reminds me the worst accident freak I ever witnessed. The bar was closing down. He liked to insult everyone's intelligence included me. I was the last person and while I looked at him and stepped down few steps at the same time. He said, "You better watch out what you said" before he missed one step. He lost his balance and walked quickly sideways and his head hit the glass blocks under the bar counter. The glass blocks were shattered and broken (I think four of them). He was shocked and checked his back head then looked at his bloody hand. I helped him until the ambulance arrived. He was so silent and dumbfound but he hadn't spoken with everyone for few months. Perfect consequence for a person with a big mouth!
  9. My LCS is waiting for all different kinds of bags and boards for a month. Using my alternative, I decided to order the bags and boards via Graham Crackers website. I received them but the brand names I never heard of. Comic ProLine & Vintage Collectible and Accessories. Surprisedly both companies' prices are 1/4 less than BCW price. Nice qualify.
  10. Countless trucks in a long line waiting all the day too.
  11. Wait until you have 3K posts. You will understand everything what we have gone through in last 10 years.
  12. https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/ccs-pressing/ I currently use Economy Tier for pressing my books AFTER the restoration removal. Turnaround time is 199 business days so my 2 books were received on October 20th (12 business days ago). That will leave 186 business days (all weekends and 2021 and 2020 legal holiday days are excluded). I think my books will be shipped between last week of July and first week of August 2022. I can't tell you when your book will be shipped. If your books are Fast Track Modern, some books are top priority like Standard or Express and will leapfrog your books. Nothing else will pass by then your books will be shipped. It's unpredictable.
