  5. It depends on how the people handle them at the shop. I'd say over 90% of the books out of the Diamond boxes are 9.6-9.8 most of the time. But I know there are people working at the shops that don't care about the comics like some of us do. I used to pull comics and put them in the "folders" (really, paper bags) for the people who subscribed at my LCS and I treated the comics like royalty. The manager of the shop? Grab, and stuff. It was painful to see sometimes, when a subsciber had a large list and hadn't been in 2-3 weeks, the manager would stuff 2-3 more comics in an overfilled bag rather than get a second bag. I'd always go behind him later and get a 2nd bag, and relieve the poor comics of the stress of being packed too tightly. I also pulled my own books, too. I can guarantee that the later part of my OO collection of mutant books are 9.6-9.8 at the least. Last I saw, this shop used to put books out flat, on a table, for people to get their copy from. No bags or boards, you can buy those at the register for 25¢ extra. I never liked that. Shops close by, newer shops, all B&B the new comics on the rack, and I admit, I like that better for two reasons: 1) people can't shuffle through the comics on the rack and mess 'em up and 2) sometimes the employee behind the register doesn't care about the comics as much as you do. -slym (thumbs u
  6. Or you could just suck it, because there is nowhere else to go.
  7. Bought a couple of books from Mark and grading was spot on and communication great and thanks for the extra always love that. Nice guy to work with (thumbs u
  8. Same here Business day 14 of my 15-day coupon submission - quality control since Friday (day 13) For clarity, the sub was received 10/15 Still sitting at verified on day 13 of my 15 day coupon submission Between me and another boardie, it is looking like a 15-day submission is taking around 20 days. Get your hands out of the hair, man! -slym I recently had a 15 day Standard sub take about 20 days as well. Day 14 of my 15 day submission has moved to Scheduled for Grading

  10. I'm Dwayne, I mostly collected Avengers, Iron Man and X-men when I was growing up. I got married twenty years ago and had a couple of kids and quit cold turkey couldn't afford it anymore and didn't think the artwork or stories were worth it late last year came across the story of the Billy Wright collection and it got me to thinking about going thru my old collection and also my Dad's who has since passed away. I now have the fever again Went to the Nashville Comiccon and had a blast met some fellow boardies there have also been buying alot from some of you guys most everyone has been great to talk to and deal with I have been buying stuff to fill out some runs. I had never heard of CGC until I started looking into my comics again joined up and took my first four coupon submission to Nashville well that's enough about me I'll let someone else do some talking glad to be here.
  11. 15 day standard coupon dropped off at the Nashville Comiccon on 10/18, received/verified on 10/22
  12. Just got my Avengers 86 from Steve shipped quick and safe. Great guy to deal with. Can't wait to do it again. Thanks again for the sweet book. Dwayne
  13. From one fellow Kentuckian to another that is one sweet run of books very impressive
  14. Don just shipped me two TTA's fast shipping and bomb proof packing, like trying to break into Fort Knox. Just a great guy to deal with hopefully we can do it again. thanks again Dwayne
  15. The books were even better looking in person. Lightning fast shipping, bomb proof packaging and a great deal. (thumbs u Looking forward to doing business again in the future. It was like breaking into Fort Knox to get the books out of the box.
  16. Just bought an Avengers from him, super easy transaction great packing. (thumbs u awesome. Thanks again Ed. Thanks Dwayne
  17. That is one of my favorite Avengers issues, I have the White Mountain copy which I treasure.
  18. Haha thanks! Thankfully it's not my first forum rodeo. I just like the people who choose all 20 and then just add "sweet" at the bottom. I was talking about Stevenrams Action 17 but greggys {27} comics are SWEET also
  19. Great Seller! Just completed a very smooth deal with Rick on two comics I missed out on back in 1980 when my subscription ran out and I didn't get it renewed fast enough X-Men 141 & 142 Also picked up a Captain Marvel number 1, way under graded in my opinion. Great communication, packing and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Dwayne
