  1. I don't use two boxes (may have to try it). One 1095 box. As others said, go to USPS website and order 25 for free. And they ship it to you free. Can't beat that! Corrugated 10" x 15" cardboard rectangles from U-line, which I cut down to 10" by 13.75" (I'm way too lazy to go hunting for free cardboard). Slab is in a mylar type sleeve, and I tape all 4 sides of slab to larger cardboard rectangle (the 10" by 13.75)" Use roll of bubble wrap from Walmart (All books together with cardboard, then I wrap with bubble wrap about six times length wise and two time width wise. Then rolled up bubble wrap added as cushion to sides to fill any empty spaces). Never measured how many packages I can wrap with one roll, but quite a few. I like Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape Oh, and I use a Gerber EAB Pocket Knife [22-41830] with LENOX Gold Utility Knife Blades, 50 Pack, 20351GOLD50D from Amazon. This baby slices through cardboard so easily it is scary.
  2. I'm a complete individual_without_enough_empathy when drinking (which is usually most of the time). Sharon is the one person that is always nice to me no matter what! Nicest person on these boards, bar none.
  3. Dang! Sorry, but I have pretty much committed that book (CGC 9.6) to Heritage Auctions. If you were meaning the 9.4 I already sold it. I have a lot of raw Cherry books in high grade. Give me a day to review what I have and I will get back to you via PM. Or better yet, you can PM me with your want list and it will help me when checking my raws. We can delay payment on Superboy until the Cherry situation is figured out.
  4. Superboy 205 CGC 9.4 Sold to lizards2! Thank you Mike, I will send you an invoice just as soon as I plug your address in to the USPS "calculate a price."
  5. Just one 100 page slab left for sale at this time. Superboy #205 CGC 9.4 OWW Rules: I will sell to anyone with a USA address except those on the Probation or HOS list. I don't discriminate against those whose opinions are different than mine. No one is on "ignore." Paypal Only USA Only. Priority Mail Shipping in a 1095 box will be at exactly cost. From what I can tell, the cost may range from $7.70 to $12.90, depending on where you live. As a reference point, I will be shipping from 77386 (Spring, TX, which is a suburb of Houston). First take it wins, which includes PMs. I don't live on the boards (sometimes only an hour a day), so I may not announce the winner for up to 24 hours. Please don't PM me if you are offering less than asking price. The price shown is my minimum price at this time. I will ship within 3 business days of payment, usually sooner. I expect payment within 2 days of taking it. No returns on CGC books. I will refund holder fee if slab is cracked. However, I have learned to pack one book fabulously in a 1095 box, so the chance of a cracked slab is almost nil. If I have violated any "rules", please let me know. There is always room for improvement.
  6. I'm thinking this one is pretty rare because it has no yellow. Can anyone tell me if I sent it to CGC, would it be marked as an error variant and get a blue label? Normal Funnybooks:
  7. Sharon, If you quote someone in a message reply while the exact time is still displaying, the exact time stays in the quote permanently.
  8. I have found that recent messages show exact times. After some time goes by (I don't know exactly how much), the time shown changes to hours.
  9. Heritage has a 7.5 up for bidding right now and an 8.0 starting on April 20.
  10. Thanks to everyone for clearing this up for me. My opinion was clearly wrong.
  11. And I never said seller violated anything. My interpretation of 1st "I'll take it wins" was 1st post on the boards stating such. I haven't been here nearly as long as you and I have much to learn. Thank you for clarifying that PM "I'll take its" are perfectly acceptable and trump public "I'll take its" if time stamp indicates it was first. I had no idea...
  12. Thanks. I read all 17 rules. Which one applies to PMs? I can't find it.
  13. I pretty much hate PM's in a sales thread. Sure, ask questions per PM, but when you want it or seller agrees to sell it for less, either the seller should post "Sold per PM" or the buyer should post "I'll take it" in the thread. 1st PUBLIC "I'll take It" or "Sold per PM" wins. Period dot. The time stamp business pretty much sucks.
  14. Why did he have to send a PM? He could have posted (as long as PQ is CR/OW) Thanks! Publicly.
  15. I have read all of the posts, and I think dem1138 should get it. Thanks for letting me know my attorney needs to review any of my sales threads. Why PM "I'll take it" via PM? So as not to let others know you bought it? Now everyone knows Miraclemet took it via PM. Why didn't miraclemet just post "I'll take it"
  16. It's against the rules though and I don't want get caught. I'm a chicken.
  17. True. I may have to raise my price a bit in the future. Except I can't get rid of my last two undergrounds in that thread, even though I am selling them at significantly less than I paid.
  18. Thanks. Yes. If the 5" flat rate medium boxes work, the cost will be $27.30. If not, $31.90.
  19. comicparadox wins! Thank you! Oh, all books are bagged and boarded with half backs or full backs and mylite 2s or mylites.
  20. I guess I can take return if you ship them back at your own expense. I'm guessing these won't be returned.
