Dumb question: How many printings are there of the Larry's Sketch variant #1? Is there only one printing or multiple?

 

1 for larrys!

 

theres a 1st 2nd 3rd 4th for number 1 chew 1 tho

 

chew collector!

Phew; that's what I thought. I bought a nice sketch issue off of eBay and just spotted a note saying it wasn't the first print. I had assumed it meant not the first print of the normal #1, but wanted to be sure.

Now to save up for a "real" #1...

Well, as expected, I'm getting grief..

Is there a specific eBay/PayPal policy regarding shipping, or do you just have to hope you get an understanding seller?

1. You send it back.

 

2. They refund your money.

 

3. Partial refunds are for dopes so just send it back.

OK; I'll wait to see what the seller says. Hopefully he/she doesn't give me hassle.

The pains of eBay - even if it's a good scan, the seller could still ship it horribly.

i.e. A bubble mailer, bag, board, and two loose pieces of cardboard that don't cover have the comic.

Little bit of an aside here, but I recently received a comic that was damaged during shipping/handling.

I have contacted the seller and waiting for a response.

As a buyer and seller, if a comic is damaged during shipping, and there is no insurance, is there any set way this plans out?

Or is it all up to the two parties to figure it out?

Thanks,

Are the one or two Batgirl/Batman 13's that sold for > $40 any different than the ones I bought yesterday at my LCS?

So I also bought The Walking Dead #27 about 3 weeks ago, Raw from eBay, overally its i beautifull condition (not proffesional or experienced grader), nice sharp corners, no smudges, spine is pristine without single crease.

The only thing I noticed is that cover is sligtly ''smaller'' than inside. I dont mean smaller of course. Picture bellow will explain what I mean

 

 

Does this affect final grade a lot?

 

Thank you!

 

EDIT: Sorry for oversized photo, is there any way to make it smaller?

I saw this same "problem" in many of the comics I bought from a regular Joe seller. Very noticeable on the issues with black covers. As a later poster said, they all look "trimmed" but it's just how the comic came out.

I haven't submitted one for grading yet, so I can't be 100% positive, but from what I've read/seen, it shouldn't hurt the grade. I suppose CGC would consider this along the lines of a production error.

This involves a WD comic (the same one as above, #27), so...

I bought it very cheap as part of a lot from a seller and it's one of the few issues worth getting graded - both in terms of looks and return.

Without waiting another 6 months or more for a CGC-attended Con to roll into my area, what is the best way to get it graded and what are the costs?

I know there is self-submit, and shop-submit, or the possibility of shipping it to someone near a CGC Con, but have only done on-site.

Can someone in the know tell me how much each (generally) costs for a modern and which is easier?

Thanks,
