  1. What the what?.. does this mean then? Is this based on Moore's retooling of the character?
  2. MAGAZINES.... Modern Status: Shipped Received: 1/22/21 Shipped: 10/13/21
  3. That's 2 days ahead of mine so I should see my magazine ship by Friday. I just looked it up earlier today and my magazine started the grading process with delivery to you for pressing in early September of last year.
  4. ...and now a little good news this morning of 10/12/21 Magazine moved from G/E/I to.... Status: Grading/Quality Control Received: 1/22/21 United Kingdom Warrior 1 3/82 Quality Comics
  5. My magazine submission from January (this year) hit the 8 month mark and has disappeared from my Submission Tracking page. Had to go back through records and figure out the submission # and then do a search. If the magazine wasn't part of a bigger order I wouldn't have been able to figure out the number. Why can't orders that have not shipped remain on the tracking page? I would think that's an easy fix.
  6. A couple of my books were "misplaced" last year. I would call weekly and eventually they were found under a different order #.... So keep calling because they will forget about it. The books may eventually show up at some point but who knows how long that would take.
  7. I've had happy buyers while selling with or without a specific grade and when I was being specific I always undergraded a bit. 100% + feedback..... last feedback I received "Most beautiful book I’ve ever received from an EBAY purchase! Thank you so much! 5 Starz***** and then some!". Fast shipping and solid packaging also make buyers happy.
  8. I stopped giving a specific grade on ebay and instead use a narrow grading range, a plus and minus, and supply lots of photos and a description of even the smallest flaws. I once had a picky buyer who purchased about ten low value books and then proceeded to send me pics of one of the books with circles around a few very minor flaws which were, in my opinion, acceptable with the grade given. He ended up using a "not as described" return on half the books, which was total bull, and my only choice was to refund and let him keep the books because I would have lost money on the return shipping. Ironically, in his auctions he basically states that grading is an opinion and if you disagree with his grading, too bad.
  9. True and thank you.... 2019 was not a great year for me; when I started downsizing my 1980's collection. I let too many books go that have since exploded in value, especially with all the movie releases. I just shake my head every time I see a post like this one. I've learned my lesson and pay a lot more attention to these forums and sites such as GoCollect.
  10. Sold my raw NM 1983 copy of Grendel #1 in 2019 for $140. ....
  11. I started taking photos after two incidences of damage (not SS). Both were graded 9.8 so damage was post grade. Luckily one was fixed without further damage, the other, they insist is still a 9.8 despite a small back corner piece torn off.
  12. Did she say anything encouraging at all? ... Such as; they're currently working on magazines from such and such submission date?
  13. Could be that the backlog is backlogged.... ...... 160 work days ..... a good month to go to reach the current 207 day estimate... wonder what the estimate was back in January???
  14. Wonder if Pacific Presents #1 will show some movement as well.
  15. Sent my old copy to CGC about a month ago. Any reason, besides the obvious, for the current interest?
  16. Hard to be patient when you see other submissions jump the line... for whatever reasons. Just looked and magazine turn-around is 207 days, twice that of modern comics. Last time I checked I could swear it was like 187 days. Wonder if this t-a-t applies to books submitted in the early days of 2021.... time bending ahead of us, wondering if we'll ever catch up.
