It looks like that you are focusing on key issues only.

All of them but one. 5 weeks of hell for me. Once, all books were safe at CL. I finally fell asleep peacefully.

You are generous!

And that!

Do you remember this? You were the last person to write your post on this thread. No one else posted. I am still wondered where other books are now. Do you remember Nick Cage's Action Comics #1 was recovered but two valuable books are STILL missing - TEC #1 and #27.

I was very lucky b*stard!

Sadly we are soft now.

Yes, it was posted here but it was a long time ago. I was VERY lucky that I didn't lose $35,500 worth of my books without the insurance after shipping many packages to CL for five years without an incident. I always photographed all books, keep recording all certification numbers and documentary before shipping them out. There was a long line and I decided to drop them off at the post office (it was my biggest mistake in my life and I should had them to scan the barcodes) and watched the tracking number online for two days. All boxes were NEVER scanned and the tracking numbers showed NO routes. Went to PO where I dropped them off. They didn't have them. CL never received them after 5 days (it was 2 day Priority Mail). Decided to contact USPS Inspector. They did their best to find those missing packages. It was already over two weeks and I was desperate. Watched eBay and all auction houses if my books showed up. I already informed CGC, CL, CC, HA and all other dealers (as much as I could provide all information to them). On the third week, I was jumpy and saw all my books were on eBay. The seller was https://www.sellmycomicbooks.com/ and dotcomcomics. I contacted and explained them about my ordeals. One of them was former CL employees and knew me well. His partner who lives in Canada was hesitant to return my books back. I decided to file a report to my local police and contacted PayPal to prevent them after I provided all documentary plus the police report. The owners decided to do same thing with their local police. CL was informed and acknowledged by both of us. All of my books were only ten miles away from CL. Pretty close. Finally we learned that person who sold my books to Sell My Comic Books for only $7500 out of Chicago (that was my hunch). We got her name and reported to USPS inspector. PayPal decided to refund all money to them and asked them to return my books. I decided to ask the former CL employee to mail all of my books to CL until all of them were safe inside CL. We just learned very little information about her. She worked for USPS and decided to sell my books to get cash for her brother and boyfriend for drugs. That was all we know. USPS inspector disclosed all information. I think they were fired and got arrested but there was no way we would know of. My local police and other police closed the cases. Only one book is missing. I think it's possibly somewhere in Chicago. Who knows? I learned my lesson and always have them to scan the barcodes at USPS so all boxes can be tracked anywhere. I have to buy the insurance that over $500 every time. That was the only incident in 40 years of collecting/selling/buying comic books. I hate to see all beauties, rarities and expensive books are being stolen and are never seen again. BTW, all boxes are no longer routing through Chicago mail processing center after multiple mail thieves. That whole building is closed down and is cleansed. That was what I heard two years ago. I used to get scared of my packages going through that dreaded place but not anymore.

What the heck? Have fun! Grades in!

Personally, I hate to see all beauties disappeared forever. I never know what happened to my beauty TEC #402 CGC 9.6 White Pages after all of my books were recovered after the post office postal workers were caught at their home with my books after a tip off. That was 2014. It has been missing for 6 years. Sadly I didn't insure this.

5 hours to go!

Not me!

Wait for more people tonight.

Wait a minute! It's an old label. It's an old school grading. It's tough on us!

I have a feeling the actual grade is between us.

4.5 with 6 staple holes

See you To morrow Chaps!

5 is good. I imagine myself working at CGC to grade 100 books a day. 5 x 100 = 500 minutes. 60 minutes x 8 hours = 480 hours. So, I may need more speeds.

Probably I won't have the last piece of pie. Whoever will win 2020 March Madness? The winner will decide on which one from this prize. My gut tells me that pulps will be taken first.

Oh man! Other half point off! But that grade is honest.

I see your time was 2 minutes ago and stop sign was 3 minutes ago. I think you made it.

What the heck? I will gamble it with 8.5. The back cover looks 9.4.

My kids @ 13 and 11. They love it. I don't know why?

I thought about 9.8 so I played it safe with 9.6. No gut No Glory - I don't have that.

No wonder why Andy aka BlowUpTheMoon picked tricky books with many deceive and weird defects to test us.
