    :takeit:the other lot.

  3. This seller is notorious for creating fake covers and reselling them as if they were originals.  They make a good profit off of these listings and do so by using vague terms like "custom variant" or "Artist Edition reproduction cover" or "This cover was not widely distributed by Marvel".

    In reality, the title and description should read "Fake cover that was NEVER distributed by Marvel."

    It gets worse. My postmaster told me the other day that when rates go up again on the 22nd, Region A and B boxes are out too,

    This is terrible news.  Regional Rate Box A is the most economical way to ship small lots of comics safely.  I probably ship out a box a week, and I'm not even doing much selling these days.

  5. Agreed that the photo cover is the one to go with... but that's just an opinion that is shared amongst many of us boardies.

    With that said, I feel that the general consensus in the marketplace is that any book is fair game for a Jackman signature.  I bet the majority of books submitted for his sig will be the LS #1 or Vol 2 #1.

    Jackman's signature was fairly rare up to this point.  There weren't that many opportunities for signings, and, combined with his popularity, the value always commanded a premium.  However, simple economics... the higher the supply, the lower the price.  I don't think the price will come down too much, but the number of Jackman sigs is only going to rise as time goes on.

    Still, if you're only looking for a bump in value, get EVERYTHING signed.

    The CGC 9.6 version states there are 1684 on the census with 899 sales. Are we at the point where half of the books slabbed are for resale now?

    The 899 figure is not what is currently for resale.  It is the amount of sales that GoCollect has recorded in 9.6 since they started tracking such sales.  Additionally, many of those sales were likely the same book changing hands over the years.

    However, I think it's safe to say that there are likely much more than 899 total sales in 9.6... GoCollect only records from their own list of verified sources.

    To throw out another stat... between eBay and MyComicShop, there are only about 25 BA12s in CGC 9.6 for sale currently.

    Framing an argument for Coke or Milk from 30 years ago is just reaching to prove a point instead of acknowledging the 1000s of ads that are worthless.

    I acknowledge that the majority of ads from 20+ years ago are for products or services that may no longer exist.  But, stating that the advertisements are worthless attempts to sidestep the fact that these are still advertisements, thus disqualifying comics from the Media Mail rate.

    The danger here is that people can read these threads and use these types of arguments as justification to send out comics via Media Mail.  I'm simply pointing out the fallacy in such logic.

    The problem with media mail is the outdated rules for advertisements. If I ship a book from 1980 then by all means
    it shouldnt be an issue with 99% of the ads being worthless. Now within say the past 10/15 years I get it no problem.

    This line of thinking has been hawked by others on these boards in the past, but the logic is flawed.  I understand that 99% number is hyperbole, but I still strongly disagree with that number.  (How many of you remember the "Got Milk" ads that littered every comic book for a whole decade in the 90s?  Is milk not a thing anymore?)

    Still, it's really only a "problem" if you tend to not agree with the policy and are looking for loopholes around it.

    None of us know the intent behind the actual USPS policy of no advertisements.  By stating that the rules are outdated and (as I read into this) that advertisements have "expired" for books older than 15 years, the assumption is made that the policy's intent is to ban the actual advertisements from the Media Mail rate.  What if the intent is to ban the media itself that contains the advertisements, and that having advertisements is just a metric in which they have utilized to identify such media?  Without knowing the intent of the policy, we are only left to follow the policy as stated... regardless of if we agree with it or not.

    Now... the USPS website has been updated in recent years to specifically single out comic books as media that does not qualify.  I've provided both the link and screenshot below.  Based on that, I think the intent is a little more clear.

    The other issue with this line of thinking is how to actually enforce a policy in which some advertisements are deemed unacceptable, but others (if they are old enough) are allowed to pass.  Think of the logistical nightmare from both the USPS' and shipper's perspectives.  For packages that are inspected, are you prepared for an increase in postage rates, as USPS workers need to spend more time carefully inspecting every single item in each parcel to verify the date of production on each?  As a shipper, how do you feel about every single comic you packed being opened up and "handled" to check if there are "expired" advertisements inside?  How do you think your buyer would feel about that?

    At the end of the day, as all others have stated, just avoid shipping comics via Media Mail, and there is no actual issue.
