Thanks to both of you. I thought it was an amateur restoration but Susan C said they did a very good job. I am really hoping once I get it looks as a good once I have it in hand, and its a VF in my mind. I normally don't care if my collection is graded, but I may send it off to ensure it is all that is done to the book.

Wow I can't believe I missed that awesome price on the 139! Congrats to seller and buyer!

i say 6.0-6.5 but pressed cleaned would def get 6.5 probably a 7.0. Thi sis all my very uneducated opinion

TEC 40 It is not in my position yet, It should be by the end of the week. Centerfold is loose. There is some color touch. I think it could use a cleaning myself. I think i vastly overpaid, but the eye appeal was too much for me to turn down. My early TEC collection is starting to fill out quite nice. So far it's the only restored book I have had to buy. Anyhoo thanks in advance for the grade, or "apparent" grade.

Gotcha! makes sense, beautiful book! Congrats man and good luck with the sale.

So is it $1800 for ll 3? If not, wow I have gone for a while.

yes..

There are some ambiguities in the process. I think, though, that once a seller agrees to accept a buyer's terms, then the seller can't (or shouldn't) back out if someone subsequently posts an "unconditional take it." In this case, the buyer did seem to have some terms with respect to shipping and seeing scans, but you appeared to accept those terms in your PM exchange. Maybe the safest course if you are uncertain about whether you want to accept a buyer's offer is to be explicit that you need time to think the offer over and that you plan to accept an unconditional take it should anyone post one in the mean time. The commonly used "A in the thread or by PM trumps any ongoing PM negotiations" can cover this. My I was fine with what the original buyer wanted to do. That said I have always operated on the condition that the unconditional I'll take it trumps any deal with caveats. I 100% did not think this was outside the norm, or would cause a problem.

I would

That would solve a lot. I was going to suggest that the seller be sure, when in PM negotiations and they have laid out the rule about "Takeit Trumps All", that they reinforce this in their PM negotiations. Something like "Please be aware that if a Takeit is posted in the thread before we complete the negotiations I am obliged to sell to that person." BUT if they do not have scans ready and need time to make them and send them, then that opens up the possibility of a "stall tactic" accusation (delaying the scans and thus delaying the PM negotiation). Definitely better to have scans not only ready but also posted in the thread. I don't sell often but 95% of sales have happened without back scans. The front scan was there.

If a Seller allows it, it should be fine. I always say in my threads that first deal in time wins, so if you want to wait, you bear the risk. I think that is fairer than having the seller bear the risk of an unconditional I'll Take It having to wait for a conditional one. But that is me. True, It's on the seller. If they accept a conditional deal they have to ride out the conditions before accepting an unconditional offer. They'd have to specifically tell the party making conditional offer that if an unconditional offer comes in they are out. Absent that, the seller's acceptance of the conditional deal is binding. I was the seller. I have always assumed the 1st unconditional would trump any deal that was pending based on buyer caveats. I have no problem honoring the deal with the original buyer, I have even knocked off another $50.00 from our price. When I accepted the other mans offer I honesty felt like I was following this site's SOP. I still do to a degree. I have now learned that there are no general everybody knows guidelines here, but a set of rules the seller must write it up prior to starting the sale's thread. Lessoned learned.

Ok Well this is my mistake then. I honestly thought on this board the 1st unconditional "i'll take it" wins. My apologies to all invoved if that is not how it works.

My only 2 commission pieces by Dean Zachary

Dan bought a Hulk 180 9.4 for me. He paid immediately. With all of that said as much as I appreciated the business, I appreciated the conversation too. It was nice to converse with someone who has a passion/love for comics. Thanks, Marcus

While I'm not disagreeing with your logic, historically CGC has bit the bullet on embarassing situations. Look at the Blue label JIM 83, resubbed to get a Purple, inspected again to retain the Purple, then resubmitted yet again to obtain a Blue. Maybe it was the Boards but CGC didn't try to hide. IMO, saying they screwed up on the grade as oppossed to a swap would be worse. Bringing the integrity of our grades into question would be a bigger PR issue than acknowledging the slab can be tampered with. Don't forget, there was a telltale crack in the slab. See I don't understand the crack thing. Maybe it my child at Christmas morning mentality, but every time I have popped one out the case there was no way the case could be reused. I just don't see how it is possible. I would love a video on how it id done with no damage to the holder (minus a crack). Well actually I would not. To be clear I am not asking for video that shows this for obvious for obvious reasons. I love my comic hobby too much and if a video like that existed I would never again trust a CGC holder It would truly screw up my 3rd favorite hobby, and I am passionate about all 3.

I thought it was being sent to the CGC for inspection, not a regrade. -slym 1st long time no see Slym (Superpro here from CPG forums) is that the right name for the old forums ? I have no idea but if they did in fact make a mistake and typed in an 8 instead of 5 what are they going to do? I would assume the will have no choice but to regrade it. I also believe this is the only thinking they can do to straighten out the problem. They should also buy it form the seller at FMV. I think the tampering will not only be hard to prove, but if CGC is smart they will say that they screwed the pooch. If word gets out you can swap CGC books/label the CGC guarantee become worth as much as say PGX's. It would be company suicide to say the book or label has been swapped. Unless everyone in a position to make such a decision is 100% void of business sense, CGC will never admit that a swap has happened. Well they could always double down on their grade

I bought a CGC 8.5 Hulk 181 from Gino . 1st he was not kidding when he said this thing presents much better than the grade. The scans appeared to, but once the book was in my hand all I could I think how the did did this not get a 9.2? I have 9.4s that look worse. Communication was great, shipping was fast, I look forward to spending more money on his books in the future. I took a leap of faith in this main and paid him as a gift, per the deal we worked out. He did not ask for this I volunteered it to make the numbers work. He could have kept my money and I would had no recourse. Fortunately he knows what it means to be man" and the true value of a "man's" word. He did as promised and the book showed up faster than I thought. USPS could deliver. He must have paid off some drivers or something . Seriously in the world of interwebs sales there is always some individual_without_enough_empathy looking to rip someone off it is refreshing to find other honest people to business with. Sorry for rambling on in your kudo's thread. Great book thanks man. Marcus PS My full post is not showing for some reason. This is why I am spacing out my post in such an odd way. and why I have doubled posted

Great seller with very accurate grading on a raw book I Bought/. Prompt shipping too. thanks!

Just imagine if the seller of this paid 8.0 money for it. Man that would suck. Can you imagine his surprise when the auction house informs him they had CGC regrade his book to a 4-5.0. Man that is a tough spot to be in from everybody's perspective.

I do when I submit books like this under the proper tiers. This is a standard tier book. 15 business days. If you watch the website and know what to look for, you'll know if it is getting a purple label in about 10 business days. What do you look for? I can not detect restore myself so I will need to rely on CGC. Tear seals are pretty easy to spot. You'll see that either on the interior or exterior of the cover. Amateur color touch - look for ink/color bleed thru on the interior cover Also, on the exterior of the cover, tilt the book at an angle (like you would looking for stress mark, indents etc). Is the sheen/gloss of the book consistent? Or is some of it shiny and some of it dull? Do parts of it just look odd? These aren't the only way, and they aren't fail safe, but some quick tips. Thanks!
