  1. It’s not an “error” so much as a defect from the printing process. One book well known for this defect is FF #52, where on some copies it looks like Black Panther is wearing an amulet.
  2. If available, I’ll take Tracy - three volumes Harley Quinn Capote In Kansas Quantum & Woody For anyone picking books above, I’d recommend “The Trouble With Girls” for anyone that wants some light reading and chuckles. It’s main character is a guy that wants to be average and live a quiet life, but has the “misfortune” of being awesome in every way possible and makes his living as a James Bond type character. From the late 80’s.
  3. Received a box of books earlier and I’m ecstatic. It’s not just the Brave And The Bold #125 that looks like it's fresh off the spinner rack, but rather the packaging. In lieu of shipping, Paperheart could easily hand these off to me when he comes through the drive-thru at Piggly Wiggly In the evening, but instead he ships and takes care to package these as though the books are going to the moon. This point is especially important as some liquid detergent was shipped to me(with broken cap) and spent the evening leaking and soaking through all my mail. The floor, box, and packing materials are wet and smelling of lavender, but the comics are unharmed, and that’s due to the diligence in his packaging, even for low value stuff. Recommending him is a no-brainer.
  4. The retired labels could, in theory, have the same issue. Edit: The MS #5 7.0 that was the first book reported here last year is in a retired label for example.
  5. We know several are from the same submission if that’s what you’re asking.
  6. Wondering why the date on the She-Hulk comic shows “2/79” when the indicia shows a February 1980 date?
  7. This shows January 2013 was when the listing first went up.
  8. Marvel Team Up #’s 61, 80, 87, 89, 92, 93, 97 Cpt Marvel GS 1 Hercules 5 Fantastic Four 220 1st Issue Special 11 Brave & Bold 125 please.
  9. Call customer service in the morning. Post pics of a card or two. I’m sure others (as well as myself) would be interested in seeing them.
  10. That thread looks the same to me as it did 7-8 hours ago. The OP normally lists books with grade & price, then follows with scans asking that no one post “takes” until all images are up. One or two people jumped the gun early, then others followed suit thinking it was “go” time. It didn’t look like any posts were poofed as of a minute ago.
  11. I don’t think the members answering you were considering anything as nefarious as a seller drop shipping someone else’s books, but the more common or practical reason a barcode would be blacked out. It might be of benefit for boardies both in the UK and the States if you would “out” the dealer who’s engaging in this practice.
  12. He shouldn’t expect you to pay the CGC fee. What I found interesting is one, someone is actually using that Review service, and two, for such a (relatively) low dollar book. He was willing to pay an additional 40%+ for that comic which is what I found most surprising. I don’t see anyone on these boards ever talking about themselves or customers using that CGC service since it was announced a year or so back.
