About 15 months ago I bought a high grade Flash 11 from a seller on eBay (it was supposed to be around a 9.0) and when I received the book there were some key differences from the photographs in the listing. I wrote the seller asking about the differences and the seller took the position that they didn't know what I was talking about - so I then contacted a dealer who I was friends with that has a large database of the books that they've developed through the years and spoke with one of the employees to see if they could give me any background on the book - I thought that maybe it had been theirs at one point or another. It turned out that the book had been missing from the dealer's inventory for some time. After confirming the details of the book with the dealer I returned the book to the dealer immediately (this was within the day of receiving it from the eBay seller). The dealer has been a really great friend to me and I didn't care about how I was going to recoup the loss because I used my American Express through Paypal. For me it was just a question of when I was going to recoup. What I did was give the dealer all of the details about my interaction and experience with the seller i.e. the seller's history, of what was recorded as a sale on eBay, emails, etc. and it turned out that a dozen or so books +/- that had been missing with the dealer were sold by or in possession by the seller. In fact, it turned out that the dealer knew the seller...knew the seller well. The dealer contacted local LE and spoke with a detective and the detective was willing to add the case onto their workload - despite the seller being out of state. The detective then handled all aspects of the investigation and the seller knew that they would have to come clean or face the consequences. The dealer, who is a close friend, kept me informed with updates. At about 90 days the dealer informed me that things had come to an end I put in a claim with American Express with the specifics and Amex then forced the chargeback with Paypal.

And this just arrived ...

I purchased a high grade Wonder Comics 15 from Rick and am genuinely pleased about the book and the transaction and am looking forward to my next purchase from him. I would recommend him as a seller to anyone.

Nice pick up - congrats to you both!!

Hi Everyone, The usual stuff.... No HOS or Probies or .... Payment by Paypal (within a few days unless discussed and agreed upon). Shipping in the US is USPS Priority + Insurance. Int'l please pm me, as I''ll need to figure out a price. My kudos: PM's and all offers are welcome, but the 1st in the thread wins and trumps any pm's. I will accept returns on books only if I've been negligible in my description or have missed a major defect which totally devalues the purchase.

I'll take it...

Thanks everyone!

I think its a bit closer to 7.0 - no CT - just finger prints and fading...

Thank you both for the grades!!

Thoughts on the book's grade??

I had to log in.... Missed it by that much!! Great pick up!!

I believe Bella Thorne would make a great Batgirl but she's a bit of a walking disaster. It would also be great to see someone with the abilities of Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things but a bit older like Chloe Moretz. Cara Delevingne would be great too but with Valerian out today....

You're so right....Missed it by that much!!

I was looking at the list of actresses and considering the possibilities... Bella Thorne is my choice regardless of appearing to also be a walking disaster in real time....

Great pick up!!

Never would behave that way. In fact, we may need to find a courier to hand deliver it back to him so its verified - or Paypal gives him his money back.
