My wife and I planning on visiting NY this summer.  Can someone list all the reputable stores I should visit in the Queens/Brooklyn area?

Royal collectibles in queens is a great shop. If you go out to long island go to kyles comics.

Wow I just saw the @immaculatecomics  video... not good news 

This basically calls.into question any slab you want to buy off a wall at a convention or on ebay or anything you own that you didn't slab yourself and even then people are no longer going to trust you without photos. This is awful. Might as well go back to when every comic there was is raw again and start over with new slabs that can't be done like this. 

I will say graders note matching the book in the slab is really important.

Here are the better quality photos from GoCollect for the green label one:

Bottom left front cover to me 100% tells me it's the same exact book.

yep.

They will follow their tried, true and only playbook; 
1) Say Nothing
2) Do Nothing.
3) Take in money hand-over fist knowing even those chattering in this very thread will continue to submit.

Don't expect any comment from Mike or anyone else in this thread. I'd suspect they have been told allow topic to continue until it fizzles out, which it will.

 

Only part of number 3 is not true. I'm done grading books. Sorry but now I want to see everything inside a raw book. How can someone just open old cases and put other books in them and say oh now it's a mark jewelers and cgc doesn't even check that?!?!

I didn't make the payment due to all the red flags. I contacted ebay and the rep agreed that it didn't seem legit. I contacted the seller.

Seeing this now. Yes I didnt buy the journey into mystery 83 3.0 which was only 5k.

Link? 

https://www.waymakercomics.com/

When I tries to hit pay with paypal their link doesnt work. Maybe it's a no go. 

I found this company in Belgium and was considering making a grail purchase.  Anyone ever heard of or buy from them? Trustworthy?

Still nothing. Should I call?

Ok nevermind. Cgc said it's the way it's going with the New York comic con boxes still being opened. They definitely got a huge amount of submissions there.

He's trying to scam us too... Won a run of ASM #300 - #400.. Months after it was delivered he wrote us claiming that ALL of the keys were missing and more....  He claimed the package was sitting with his doorman for months because he was out of town. I know there is no way we didn't include those books (due to our procedures), but gave him the benefit of the doubt that someone at his location may have tampered with the package. I was trying to assist him still. 

Then just 2 weeks ago he won a run of X-Men #12 - 66... He wrote us right after receiving the run and claimed that issue #35 was missing. In light of what he said on the other run and the fact that I had our shipping dept. record itemization and packing of this order I knew right away he was lying. 

This thread was great confirmation.  Beware indeed. 

Can you tell me your ebay ID? I call ebay every day with any new info I find. Hopefully they connect the dots and cancel all his scams and ban him. Mine is miller_collection99 if you call and mention what hes doing to me also. They "step in" on my case in the 16th.

Sleep around enough and eventually you catch something.  

 

Sorry to hear you are dealing with this fraud.  Hopefully Ebay makes it right

Thanks yeah I figured it was inevitable. I find out on the 15th and so does one of the other people hes trying to scam. After that it's either 1. Continue selling on ebay and video at post office entire box and ship process and send it to buyer for grails from now on to deter this nonsense further or 2. Never use ebay again and take this guy to small claims.

I rarely buy off eBay and stories like this keep me from ever wanting to sell there. This is crazy.

99/100 positive selling experiences the last 3 months. One partial refund but that was my fault.  I just got bad luck with this turd buying this book.

Stopped selling on ebay 2 years ago. never looked back.  

I try other platforms and stuff just sits. Ebay 1.00 auctions is a guaranteed sell sometimes more $$ with so many views and never had a major problem in 5 years but I get what you mean.
