    Awesome haul! That'll keep you until next time. :)

    Storage would be my issue haha, I'm relegated and commissioned an area, glad there are still finds in this market though, can't be easy...

    It's nice that our "work" in coming up with these finds is half the fun!

    Thanks Adamantium! Storage definitely is challenging. So far I’ve been grouping the figs by year. I bought one of those nuts and bolts bins the other week so I can separate all the parts. Part of the reason I don’t do Star Wars is that keeping up with joes can be hard when getting different lots. It is satisfying piecing them together though.

    MAGAZINE MODERN (+CCS)
    Estimate at submission:  "74 working days"
    Delivered:  1/15/21
    Received: 1/26/21 (Interval to = 6 business days)
     
    VALUE (+CCS)
    Estimate at submission:  "89 working days"
    Delivered:  1/15/21
    Received: 1/26/21 (Interval to = 6 business days)

    These books have now been at CCS for 80 days.  They have not even made it back to CGC's second "received" yet!  Anyone want to start taking bets on whether I get them back before Halloween?  

    For the sake of transparency, CCS/CGC should get rid of the "working  days" thing (which doesn't count Con days) and just give estimated TATs in months for these tiers.

    For what it's worth I have some modern mags that got rec'd on 2/1. I'll let you know when i get an update.

    AVOID sunlight (direct or indirect), incandescent and fluorescent light. Absolutely will bleach colors. Even UV blocking plastic will still allow some UV though. 

    Jury is still out on LED, I believe they are safe though. 

    My comic room doubles as my kids video game room. Recently i put LED lights. Works great. The ceiling light in the room was driving me nuts

    None of these are NM or even VF but at $2.25 a piece it was hard to say no.... :(

    Why do i do it? Lol rat chew some of them, but they're paid for readers :banana:

    Went to a store that I frequent for comics, the owner said come check this out. Brought me to the back and said that box has comics and so does that one, and then proceeded to let me be to look through. Sometimes earning a rep with a dealer too, is to pick up small items so they can come to you first, :takeit:

    Good score on the books! And I totally agree. It's good to get a few things every now and then when you're not interested just to keep the wheels greased.

    I took SDF-1 out of the box. I really think it was the fist time it was ever taken out of the box. The original, unused stickers are still in the box! I now have a new project. I can't remember the last time I applied a sticker to a vehicle. Would have been G.I. Joe, maybe 1990? It'll be fun. I suck at transforming toys, but I think I got it right. Battle mode and cruiser mode.

    Fantastic! The SDF-1 is a classic.
