Need help with a personal piece of 70's plastic. I have a 1970's Gay Toys Blue Ford drag race car I would like to restore it or have it restored. Anyone on the boards do restoration on plastic toys? I looked on eBay did not find one but I know its 70's cause I'm the one who played with and damaged it. The damage really is confined to the wheels/axles. It could be missing pieces. The car measures 18" long x 8" wide. I don't mind the aged look. 

Any help is appreciated...

I would have thought you would have a dozen pages of glowing feedback with all the great books you sell. I for one thank you for  a beautiful Detective 395.

Perfect... Thanks 

I called this morning to ask about 4 different submissions. I was told they are still opening mail from 3/15- 3/19. 

I ended up calling customer service just right now. There was no light shed on my TMNT 3 signing. She commented that it was part of the batch Eastman still needed to sign. I joked that I won't see the book for a year and she said once its signed it should be a 6 week turnaround. 

I mentioned to her that I have three more modern submissions of 10 each and a 2 book Standard submission all in limbo and not marked received even though the 1st submission reached them on March 23. She said they are still opening mail from March 15-19.

I thought I would update everyone on my order. I sent in Donatello 1(1986), TMNT 3 (paid for press) and 10 for Mr. Eastman to sign at the end of December. It showed received on 12/30 (a week later) and did not change until 3 weeks ago where it finally went to SFG. Last Friday 4/9 it went to grading CC and today 2 books shipped. The TMNT 3 is still received with no change. My TMNT 10 is coming back SS 9.0 graders notes rusty staples and the Donatello 1 SS 9.8. I will post pictures when I get the two books Friday. Very surprised at the 9.0. I had it much higher, but it is what it is. Thrilled with my Donatello 9.8 though 

I have made multiple purchases from Dan over the last several months. All of them have been great. Timely shipping perfect grading and more than fair pricing. 

Thank you!

1st minutemen? newly hot due to Loki on Disney

tough crowd. Out of the 100 or so Copper age books I have submitted over the years, I usually get 9.6's and 9.8's from CGC. I can remember only one 9.4. Even the Killing Joke which I read multiple times came back 1 9.6 and 2 9.8's.

I can't really tell the difference between a 9.6 & 9.8. 

I would like to send in a single book for the Shooter signing and thought it silly to send alone. Do I need to separate the submissions if I want 9 other modern books just to be graded? 

Thanks

I plan on sending this in based on the response here. I don't see anything to add to the pictures.

Thanks in advance

Still marked as received.   I might send some other books down there to say hello. 

That's funny. I have 2 shipments I sent in after this group. Evidently my books aren't allowed to say hello because they haven't been "received" yet.

How much value does Eastman's signature add to a CGC (SS) book? Is it different with each grade? Anyone with insight I would appreciate the knowledge.

I assume you had just submitted for signing and grading and not pressing, correct?
 

Mine are all still sitting there as “received” but they were able to confirm that they were signed. I sent in 9 comics total, all Mirage 1-4, Raphael 1, and Fugitoid. Wish there was more clarity in all of this. Everything was usually logged into the system within a few days of delivery, including the specific comic  titles in each order. I probably won’t send anything else in for signing or grading until they have this a bit more streamlined.

I sent in a TMNT #3 1st print to have Eastman sign. It  is still in received. I did pay for pressing the book too.  I may never send another item in for pressing because of the cost and I am not convinced it helps much.  The chance for Eastman's signature on that book specifically will be special  so I am unconcerned about the time it takes so long as I get the book back.

even though I closed this I will fish the posting out again when I get it graded. I have it at 8.0 at least.

I sent out 11 books today medium flat rate. I put extra insurance on it and it was @$15

Still like to hear it anyone sends in 5-6 books at a time and how they do it...
