I took an offer on a book I bought in 2018. I didn't even know that the option was toggled until the offer came in! But I started spending the money in my head and so I said what the heck... It took a month to get the money.

Usagi not Usagi ... ? It'd be like if the Sandman series decided we're not following Morpheus... We're following a descendant of Daniel named Clyde the Dreamweaver. So not only is it NOT Usagi... They're gonna b@stardize Gen the bounty hunter, Chizu the ninja, Kitsune the pickpocket, and Spot the tokage lizard.

Cool adapted use! These are great for organizing photos too. One of these replaced boxes of stuff on a recent reorganization.

If this were a Spawn comic there'd be multiple collectors competing to own it, which would drive up the price instantly.

In 1953, I imagine parents weren't saying nice things about comics. This would be an interesting temperature check right before the Senate subcommittee hearings in '54. Edit- upon closer inspection I see the author is Wertham.

I've been in the process of winding down with them. They haven't solicited several Spawn variants (302 D E and 306 D most recently) and that's the whole point of me preordering / subscribing with them. Not sure where I'm going just yet.

I don't feel comfortable offering a grade in the 9s without the back cover. It appears the book has a slight spine roll too, as well as a some white showing along the spine (often a manufacturing defect but one that should be minimized). That said, based on what I see.. 9.0 with a press. Finally... Make sure the book still has the poster in the centerfold.

Is this possible!? My observations have led me to believe that books are still coming out of CGC with Newton rings... Am I wrong?

And yet... it's still a problem?

Nice I read and enjoyed Heart Shaped Box by Hill but never got into LnK. Consider... As a fan of books... that variants in comics mean variant covers only. The content inside remains the same.

In the indicia of the comic book (inside front cover). Fair market value is a dance of keeping your book valued low enough to go Economy tier but also maximizing it within tier in order to safely insure the graded books back to you. Or... Canada and treefiddy!

I sold some extra Spawn and completed a longterm goal of X-Men #1-19, with this FN+ or better X-Men #6 Was able to add this X-Men #35 in FN+ (always admired this book)... Thank you @blazingbob!! Best regards, Justin

If I had to send a short box of comics in one box I'd probably opt for UPS Bound Printed Matter (BPM). I think that's still a thing...

These work! The key is to make sure the books are secure and don't bump about. Depending upon how much I'm charging or how much the books went for I may opt for a Gemini media mail $2.80 for 1-2 comics and under $4 for a small stack. And it comes with tracking which is good for PayPal (one USPS will check my media's, one never does; I claim it's a book with no advertising).

Priority flat rate bubble envelope. Secure 6 comics together safely in a magazine bag. Use 1 bubble mailer, seal and tape snugly. Insert into second bubble envelope with a stiff piece of corrugated cardboard. Seal and ship for $8.40 with tracking and $50 insurance. https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-padded-flat-rate-envelope-P_EP14PE

Sometimes I use Comicvine Sometimes CLZ app Neither are perfect. eBay is usually the best for me in a pinch. What book?

CGCs grading standards are not really published. But collectors have honed their own to adapt Overstreet's published standards. Generally, CGC strictness has ebbed and flowed through the years. And generally I consider old blue and red labels to have come from a relatively strict period. Lately, I have observed CGC as being a little more lax, especially when they are swamped with SS submissions or summer con season (and stricter when they are not).

Block both buyers. The first one is not a serious CGC collector IMHO if they're refusing books with Newton rings. Those rings are here to stay. The second buyer may have been fishing for a 9.8 at 9.2 prices and hoping for money back. And start taking 14 day returns and making sure the buyer pays return shipping.

A book so expensive that even a 20 year fan of Usagi Yojimbo, like me, may never own!

I crashed my buddy's rummage today and scored this 3-shelf hand truck for free-99! I have a little cleaning and see if I can swap in some comic signage, but I think it's a keeper.

I'm a fan. I like that they appreciate undergrounds and they have a genuine authentic love for the medium.

I got the Funko sweats... https://www.funkofunatic.com/viewtopic.php?t=67659 Paraphrasing from another website: Basically plasticizers have been added to PVC to soften it. These compounds break down, offgas chemicals, and begin to cause the breakdown of the material over time. It appears "oily" to the touch and will begin to soften and yellow.

It's a bad omen A Marvel no-prize. Be on the lookout for major unforeseen flaws in your submission.

This thread blew up quick... has anyone discussed how these are made from PVC and nonarchival? My wife has several Funkos displayed in her office, incl a Sharknado that her students are always trying to buy. A few of these, and other vinyl figures, the plastic begins to break down and they become tacky to the touch, as though the plastic releases liquid as it ages.
