So, he hasn't paid anything? And Glynn Sr is paying all CGC fees out of his own pocket? How much loot are we talking about here? How many commissions?

I'll ask Glynn how many participants were involved. There's at least 4, and I would think possibly more. I am only involved in the Monares op. Aaron ran other ops that are now dead in the water as well. However I only have the specifics on this one. Bottom line - We paid for the op in full to Aaron and he never sent one dime to the artist or CGC. If this isn't HOS worthy, then I'm not sure what is.

I would like to officially nominate Ajl007 (Aaron) for inclusion into the forum Hall of Shame. As detailed earlier in this thread, http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=163911&Number=7898641#Post7898641 , Ajl007 took cash for the Monares sketch op in full, did not pay the artist, did not pay the CGC fees for the sketches and did not pay the shipping fees. He collected all these fees back in late 2012.

Glynn Sr has now taken it upon himself to submit the sketches and pay the grading fees out of his own pocket in an attempt to get the covers to the rightful owners. I have corresponded with Aaron a few times in the last two weeks and each time he has promised to pay the fees. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=163911&Number=7900871#Post7900871

He has failed to pay the fees and the artist. He was given notice of nomination on 08/27/2014. If any other details are needed or collaboration from Glynn Sr, please let me know.

Purchased a BEAUTIFUL X-Men 94 from Mike

Slab arrived in perfect condition despite the best efforts of USPS to put the SMACK DOWN on it! Only thing that saved the slab was Mike's packaging with gratuitous amounts of bubble wrap and cardboard. See pics below:

Just posted a sales thread with sketch covers by Jose Jaro, Stuart Sayger, Mike Zeck, Mike Miller, Nestor and Michael Sta Maria. All priced below op prices

Those are some beautiful books! So difficult to find in the condition you have them in. Will these stay raw or get graded?

 

They will remain raw indefinitely. Here are five more from my collection:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonderful raw copies!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Someone seems to be having a bit of a problem with the selling rules.

I will try to be clearer. They start out here. If they do not sell, be it a short or long sales thread, the thread is closed or items are listed as moved. Then the item is listed on eBay.

 

Got it dude?

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this link is about you. Don't you? Don't You?

Wow, those are some REALLY nice books!!! Even a little old label goodness to top it off! Beautiful pair. Thanks for sharing!!!

Here are scans of five more of my Adventure Comics:

Just picked this up. Thinking about having it graded, although it looks awfully good in Mylite.

Fills a hole in my collection:

Picked up this nice raw copy of #316. Sent it into CGC already, hoping for a 9.2 - 9.4 grade.

At this point, I am unsure if there will be a resolution or not

I am in the raymund Bermudez opp that has been goin on for almost a year and a half now. I have repeatedly attempted to contact the facilitator with no luck. At this point I think he should be put on the hos list.

Try emailing Aaron at this address: mralue@gmail.com

I emailed him at several addresses I found and he responded from this one within minutes from his iPhone.

I have not seen resolution yet, but he did respond.

Oh yes, sorry Glynn probably doesn't know all fees were paid, I am just awaiting invoice, sorry

My response:

Aaron,

I would suggest that you communicate that information to Glynn so he can move forward. Right now, that is not the way things are unfolding.

Just got an email from Aaron:

I have not received an invoice from cgc, dan and jun's were shipped in one box, also I paid jun 400.00 way in advance before any of the sketches were done. As Glynn told dan I will not pay the rest until they are in cgc 's hands as we have both contacted them to ship.

My email response:

You need to respond in the PL / HOS thread on the boards. Glynn Sr has contacted the Monares op participants and told us that we need to provide proof we paid for the op and that we need to send him all new CGC sub fees and shipping fees to get them sent to CGC. You have the money for all those things. You have the payment history for all those things. You need to make this right Aaron. This has been a colossal screw up on your part. I don't care what your arrangements with Dan and Jun are, our dealings are with you. You took the money for the op.

Dave

That's a good idea. I will include that in a follow up email should we fail to get a response within the 72 hour window. Thanks for the advise!

Just sent an email to all the addresses I could find for Aaron. The message was:

Aaron,

Wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for PL/HOS on the CGC boards due to your apparent abandonment of the Monares SS op you facilitated. I have tried time and again to get a response from you pertaining to the op but you have failed to acknowledge them. It now appears that Glynn Sr has the sketches but he has no information as to any of the participants payment history from you. He also does not have the grading and shipping fee cash to get the covers submitted to CGC. Therefore, we are left with the responsibility of proving payment and repaying all submission and shipping fees. This is unacceptable business practice on your part. Please let me know how you intend to correct this issue and allow Glynn to move forward with the information he needs. As an FYI, it is my understanding that the artist has not been paid for the op. While that situation does not affect me directly, it does place a nasty stain on the commission if that proves to be true, especially since you made a point to tell me how Jun had a stroke and each drawing is an intensive labor for him. I welcome any response to this situation.

My last communication with Aaron was on 2/28/2014, 5 months ago. I sent him repeated pm's (unanswered) and asked questions in his op threads (ignored). Except for pimping his Con, I don't think he's posted much since then. It's fairly obvious he's outta here with op cash gone.....

 

Does he have any business contact info outside of the Boards?

If he does, I don't have it. Anybody?
