  1. MIP-It Golden - MicroChamber Interleaving Paper - 7-3/16" x 10-3/16" - Pack of 50 Available on Amazon... I got the Golden size so I can use on various books by cutting to fit. I believe CGC uses this brand in their slabs.
  2. You do make a good point, although I've heard complaints about sellers not giving grades as well. I provide a grade for my sales, along with 11 or 12 photos and detailed descriptions of even the smallest defects. My grading leans conservative and I grade a point lower than my humble opinion. I'm thinking maybe I'll try your approach with my future auctions and see if I notice a difference. I mostly sell raw books from the 80's... from my personal collection.
  3. Could we get better information as to what the image is? Is it a three dimension piece or flat artwork? Is it a one of a kind original or a published piece?
  4. 1/31/20 (9) SIGNATURE SERIES MODERN .. Received ... from CA Comic Con 4/10/20 ... Received payment acknowledgement from CCS ... still received mode. Getting closer...
  5. I took a look... what a creep. Those feedbacks are six month old... how is this guy still allowed on ebay.
  6. Is it a slab fresh back from CGC? .... Not too long ago I received a couple slabs with debris or spots on the inner well. There was no explanation as to what it actually was and hard to tell from your photos whether it's a similar situation. I talked to customer service and sent photos. They arranged to reholder at no charge.
  7. From what I can see, the kit does not include the paperwork. I think that you will fill out the order on line (standard method) and send the packing slip along with your comics. CGC will charge your cc once books are set for grading.
  8. Joey has kept me happy and coming back.... Here is a copy of Cherry Poptart that had an impression from writing that he was able to clean up.... book came back from CGC graded 9.8
  9. Shipping method for comic books that I have sold.... I use painter's tape to mount comic onto cardboard and then tape to Gemini box to make sure there is no shifting at all. Buyers really appreciate the extra care.....
  10. Early 80's, when I landed in California and started collecting again, I was buying Mylar bags, acid free boards and acid-free comic boxes (about 11" deep) from Bill Cole (BCE). They weren't cheap so was only bagging my most worthy. It was around the mid 80's when my LCS was bagging all the new comics on the shelves.
  11. I was bagging and boarding most of my collection in the mid-1970's
  12. To get better idea you're going to need better photos from straight overhead to eliminate the glare (plus don't use flash) and also to get the whole cover in focus (depth of field).
  13. Thanks.... Yes, I agree that it appears to be a manufacturing defect since it appears on all 13 of my new slabs and to a lesser extent on slabs from earlier this year. Wonder if they have a large batch like this. MyComicShop always mentions defects such as cracks or scratches to their descriptions. Wonder if they would describe this as a defect... if one doesn't look closely it could pass as a crack.
  14. Just opened a box of thirteen slabbed comics fresh from CGC and noticed the exact unusual mark on all thirteen near the lower left corner. It's not a crack, it sits on the surface and seems to me to be a molding defect. I inspected some earlier slabs from the McFarlane signing and there is a smaller defect, just not as noticeable. I imagine others may have received similar slabs.
  15. You can always use old Sears catalogs and comic books....
  16. I send a second invoice after day two.... I think it's three days when ebay lets one open an unpaid case. After opening a case I send a message asking what their intentions are but usually get no reply. Once in a while the bidder pays just before the case is closed. I've learned that non-payers are part of the ebay environment so I just curse them under my breath and relist once case is closed.... Blocked and not worth the headache.
  17. Has $1.75 price on cover.... not a polybag edition.
  18. Bid farewell to .... ryejguy Ryan Gallaway (17) .... One of those fresh to ebay that bids in $1.00 increments, outbids the original bidder, then decides to just disappear. Well, guess what? His ability to bid on my stuff just disappeared.
  19. Congratulations on getting a couple 9.9..... there will be pictures?
  20. NIce... As I mentioned earlier, mail courier refuses to come down our narrow road and my mailbox is a 1/10 mile down the lane.... plus Lost Angeles is the porch pirate capital of the world
