  1. Eventually the ages will just be referred to by their decades. The 30s, the 40s, etc. This has been mentioned many, many times as the de facto quick reference for dealers and hobbyists, and it's just a matter of time before it takes hold as the proper vernacular. Even after all these years there are people in this hobby that do not acknowledge the Copper Age and think the Modern Age extends all the way back to 1983. If someone says, "I am interested in selling a collection. It's mostly Modern." That could mean anything. If they say, "It's mostly 90s and early 2000s" then it's much clearer.
  2. I don't blame you. Back in the olden days when I sent the books in the turnaround time for Economy was supposed to be a few months, and the quality control issues weren't as pervasive (as far as we know). I've had my share of slab issues over the past year, including incorrect labels.
  3. Romantic Hearts 9 CGC 2.0 OW-W. Classic catfight cover. SOLD
  4. Send it to Greggy. Poor guy won his own mystery box last year and it somehow ended up at my house.
  5. I don't remember the exact received date, as it updates when it moves out of CCS, but it was early October. However, I doubt they are using a true FIFO method for these signatures since there were so many submissions. I'm guessing they grouped the books in some proprietary way, such as all magazine size together, for example, before being passed to Todd to sign.
  6. Seems like it was in GEI for a while
  7. Takes: First takeit in the thread wins and immediately trumps all ongoing PM negotiations. I reserve the right to overrule takes in the event that a PM deal is concluded and I hadn't yet had a chance to mark an item sold. Any variation of "takeit" counts. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through. Payment: Zelle, Check or MO. Paypal accepted under $100. Who can buy: No Hall of Shamers or Probies, or anyone on my personal list. Shipping: Free within the US. International shipping will be at cost and must be determined prior to sale. Returns: Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit.
  8. 2/15/22 submission just moved to G/E/I.
  9. Based on results I've observed over the past couple weeks, both as a seller and buyer, I'm reminded that December is always a sub-optimal time for auctions. Good buying opportunities though.
  10. I made a suggestion, based on my own experience, on how to convert inventory into cash with as minimal effort as possible. I guess that makes me a terrible human.
  11. I'm going to move the TTLR 12 over to Shortboxed but if anyone wants to trade my PM door is open.
