This sounds like an interesting story.. do share.

Well, the rough outline of the story is that in late '76, early '77, someone was looking to get rid of a bunch of comics, and called a few dealers in the Boulder, CO area. to see if they would come take a look and make an offer. Those dealers passed on the collection because it didn't sound very promising/too much work. The seller finally got some hippie to come out to take a look at the comics, and that hippie ended up buying the entire collection.

And that collection of old comic books? It grew up to be the Mile High/Edgar Church collection.

And now you know the rest of the story!

Sorry but nobody has a tale of woe to best that ! 

There's some comic dealers in the Boulder, Colorado area in late 1976-early 1977 who might be able to top that one.

I don't know if this is temporary or what happened. I was searching for bronze Hulk lots and all-of-a-sudden, I lost the ability to filter by age. Everything was combined into "comics books and memorabilia" with the only sub-category being comics. Is this happening to anyone else? This cannot be the new normal...

Oh yeah, this is not an error. Check out the category changes PDF https://ir.ebaystatic.com/pictures/aw/pics/catchanges/2021/May/NTF-update/US_Category_Changes_May2021_NFT-update.pdf

Purple text is retired categories. From the PDF, just one example:

Golden Age (1938-55) This Category is being retired

Use your coupon to get $10.00 off!

Code: YOUSAVETEN. Ends Mar 26, 2021. T&Cs apply.*

This coupon was wildly_fanciful_statement. I had the offer in my account this week, and tried to use it today. I noticed I no longer saw it in my messages, and when I entered the code at checkout today (on 3/25), I got a message "Unfortunately, this code no longer works. Please continue with your order."

This is a great thread to which I have nothing helpful to contribute.

But for me, the Fawcett Flash Comics #1 ashcan is the best book in the thread. That thing is just... perfection.

I probably will sign up because I have a few things to list...but I'm past their "warning" which I think ended 1/26.

I was in the same boat. I ignored the 12/31 deadline, then the 1/26 deadline, and got a final warning that it had to be done by 2/1. I skipped that, too. I can edit my existing auctions, but I tried to list a new one yesterday and was denied.

You would think you'd be denied when you start an auction listing, but no... they let you fill everything out, and when you submit, you get a note at the top of the page telling you NO LISTINGS FOR YOU.

I messed up the reply, but this is for Big Boy 15

Edit: for clarification, I am flying the flag for BOTH 13 and 15, please

Adventures of the Big Boy 13, 1957. Before this issue the title was published through Marvel (Timely/Atlas?) and from this issue forward was published by Webs Adventure Corporation. Dan De Carlo cover art. This is in great condition, no tears, bends, etc (small corner bend on bottom right, just saw), sharp edges and corners. Hard to grade higher grade paper covers, but this is at least an 8.0 or better. I just sold one on feebay with a 3" spine split for $30. I am asking $75 for this one.

 

 

A perfect order! Great book, bombproof packing, and Bob must've slipped the postman a few extra bucks because it made it from one coast to the other in 4 days!

To blame CGC as the end-all is not logical, to me, is my point in this.

Yeah, totally illogical for this guy to think to think that CGC made a grading mistake. Makes much more sense that the book he personally bought off the stands in 1988 was color-touched by someone in the distribution line before he bought it.

This is important, because ebay takes a dim view of sellers profiteering on postage.

Ebay's only interest in postage was when they were getting screwed out of their cut back when they only took a percentage of the final sale price (such as sellers doing BINs for 1 cent with $150 postage). Now that they take a cut of whatever you charge for postage, they no longer care.
