Was very lucky to come across these Canadian Classics Illustrated. The Westward Ho is beyond rare from what I can see. The two blank ones are theorized to be free giveaways to Canadian and British troops after WWII and the Rip Van Winkle was the 1st Canadian one printed!

I don't submit any books for my customers so who am I passing the cost down to?

Comes out of my pocket.

Doesn't that just make you a regular customer/dude then and not a dealer?

Dealers are just going to pass the $200 costs down to its customers anyway, so I don't know what they're complaining about

I opened up my gift this Am from @ThatNerdyCanuck

some nice books I didnt get yet and a way for keep my house Keys together

 

Glade they made it to you safely! I was worried with the BC Flooding, and the back log of mail issues out here, you wouldn't receive them in time!

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the history of M.S. Pub. 

Seems like after Fox Features went bankrupt they published a few random Fox titles with random numbering. Been trying to find out any information behind them, as I'm a big Crimes By Women fan and am just trying to learn more! Cheers

Shipping out the goods tomorrow AM. May God, and Canada Post have mercy on its soul.

That is absolutely fantastic to see!

updated the list with the ones you all provided!

Sounds fun, count me in!

About to board a flight but I'll take the Crime Inc 

31 years young here, got started around 25 thanks to @Fantastic Thor. My wallet will never forgive him for introducing me to SOTI's, Classics Illustrated, and Fox Features Books.

Will be there, along with @Fantastic Thor, fighting for books we both want

The completion bonus would be simple.  setScore x completionPercent = completionBonus

The total score would be equally as simple. setScore + completionBonus = totalScore

It would have nothing to do with the grade scores of any individual book.  It would have no bearing on what books are included in what sets.

It would go a LONG way towards encouraging people to build more complete sets, and it would help alleviate the very real frustration that Magmar addresses in the initial post in the thread.  A single FF48 in 9.8 would be sufficient capture the top spot in the Galactus Master Set (and probably a few others) so I will again echo the sentiment that a single issue does not a set make.  And yes, I have an entry in that set so I like the person currently in the #1 position would be quite frustrated by someone with one of those issues reading this and taking that top spot with that single issue.

If the maintainers of this registry truly wish to make the playing field a bit more competitive they'll do something, even if it isn't this.  Just my two cents.

I think this is a great idea. It is pretty frustrating seeing some scores where someone has one or two high grade books and they're at the top of a list with hardly owning any issues in a set!

I'm surprised PayPal doesn't crack down on the amount of FF Payments some people are receiving, you would think they would catch on. 

Bomb proof packaging, thrilled with the book I received. Thanks a ton!

Received a message yesterday from "Jack36518" along the same lines. Had a WTB up for Crimes by Women, sent me a message saying to contact "Wayatt" as he has some, and left a gmail address.

What your describing has been happening with moderns books for a very long time. It’s nothing new. 

It's not new at all, but I think the amount of people doing it now, flipping or trying to do it as a supplemental income has skyrocketed since covid hit
