The census has been updated.  

 

You can now send this back as a Mechanical Error.  Fill out a submission form by selecting the Mechanical Error (label Defect) option.  Be sure to write on the package slip the exact problem.  Also write Approved by CGC Mike on the chat forum.  We will fix this and ship it back to you.  If you have any more problems with this, please let me know.  

You are the best Mike, this is my first CGC submission and you guys hit it out of the park for me, thank you, I hope you and everyone at CGC have a great Memorial day.

You all are good people I apologize to Bob and everyone, I'll try to be more mindful when talking about shops I don't know about and try not to treat every company like it's a Wal-Mart or Amazon, everyone have a good day.

I have never had an issue ordering off Bob's site.  Made offers on a bunch of books, he accepted and sent me an invoice.  I paid and then he shipped the books.

I don't know maybe I just had some really strange bad luck, I honesty wasn't even going to to try and place an order the third time, the no response the 1st time got a "what ever" response out of me the 2nd time kind of made me question the site.

Better do it fast since Bob probably has big hit men on the way to your house as me speak!

The funny thing is  I have to move a  piano today ( for the 2nd time in a week 😖),  I'm going to want a bullet afterwards for the back pain.😃

I apologize to the owner, of High grade comics I will delete this thread or at least rename it.

I don't think anyone is trying to change your mind about the website however the company is legit. Very legit. Too legit to quit in fact (as referenced above) 

Yes but if the very first response to my post was " stay away from that website its shady" I wouldn't have gasped in shock because the website looks like it one of those websites. Factor in the strange checkout build on it and it raises eyebrows.

This is your thread title "Is Highgradecomics.com a legit company?"

Yes, it is and you've been told that several times in the thread 

I agree seems like the owner of the site is a great guy but the website is very unfriendly for a casual browser who randomly stumbles onto it ,website should be updated, this is my opinion no one has changed my mind on the subject, everyone has informed me how legit the site is as well as owner, that's great but its not going to prevent other casual collectors from having a negative experience using his website, website needs to be updated.

Dude, you're talking about a man's profession and business, and you've got it all wrong.  Capisco?

Yeah and his website needs a massive overhaul,  there's nothing harmful about me pointing that out, I don't think he's going to be living on the streets begging for copies of New Mutants 98 to sell because I'm pointing that out.

Again nothing against Bob Storm, I asked for a photo of a book and was told they would get back to me they did not and then the book sold out, next week gave a best offer on three books, no response order cancled books sold out, next week spun the wheel order confirmed... If we have the book otherwise book sold out, I was just asking if this site was legit I don't know this site or the owner, site is kind of a mess, wanted to know what was up with site, was it legit or not?

Bob does a lot of shows. Sometimes with the Nationwide guys, a book will sell at a show before it can be removed from inventory. There is also shoplifting that won't be discovered until the book is claimed online. GOD BLESS ...

I'm not talking smack about Bob, I don't know him, I'm just pointing out that the website is a little wonkey, 24 hours may not seem like a lot of time but if I find a better priced copy of a book from some one else I'm not going to pay for a book that eventually may get found in the next few days.

He is a long time boardie here, so I would say the reputation is excellent, from personal experience having bought a few times (and even from "spin a deal") that I concur  

When you use the "spin a deal" promotion, it locks in the percentage off, if any, and secures the book to the logged in user

You haven't made any specific qualms, and yet, "looking into or asking about a book" and "having it snagged out after inquiring?" Is probably because like you someone thought good of it but didn't "inquire", and just spin the wheel securing it or bought it now, which happens and is fully explainable.

If any interaction based on personality and or other "not specifically mentioned?" That is the way certain busy and otherwise comic world interactions can be inclined. I didn't watch much "MAD", although I regret that, it is a typical comic personality intricacy nonetheless, such is life if not whimsical  

It's the fact that they sell out minutes after I ask about them that bugs me.as far as the wheel goes  I have a book that I received a discount on from the wheel that is pending because  "maybe" the book is in stock according to my invoice, its been sitting there for 24 hours, this seems strange to me, you have a book or you don't.

The Wheel of Deals is 100% backed by the Bombastic Ones reputation. 

I'm just now returning to collecting comics, the only sellers I know are the guys who owned comic shops in the 90s that have all retired, I don't know who the bombasic one is?, does the bombastic one have a good or bad reputation as a seller? I feel old or possibly not old enough 😅

Any item I find that is a great deal seems to "sell out" as soon as I inquire about it, this kind of defeats the purpose of the "wheel of deals" if you do get a good discount on the wheel there's nothing stopping them from just saying that particular item is sold out.

Sounds great, thank you Mike.

Hi

I have just asked someone else about this.

Mike

Thank you.

I will speak with our specialist.  If we can change the census to origin and 1st app, we can then look into getting the notation fixed on your book.

Thank you again, customer service and response time has been great from you guys, it has been some of the best I've experienced.

I count two pages. 

"Choose your own adventure" also made its debue in this comic 😅 

I was talking about the 2nd page, its like a Hyperactive child drank Doctor Frankenstein's secret stash of cool aid.

Origin & First appearance are in the same book (Page #2 & Page #3)

 

Everything great about  Golden age comics in one page

Yes it lists origin only, thank you for the reply.

Yes.

I feel like Fawcett comics in general needs an overhaul when it comes to the 1st appearance listings in your database, examples issue 80 is the 1st appearance of the Surrealist Dimension and issue 84 is the 1st appearance of the Surrealist Imp. I know Black Adam is popular in modern days but he was nobody character that just happened to appear in a 1st issue, there are a lot of characters that made more of an impact then him back in the day that aren't even mentioned on your census.

Origin is not the same as first appearance.
