Yeah definitely possible. CGC changed their perception of tape some years ago, and it didn't hurt as much back then. Now it's considered a bigger defect.

Is that true?  I thought CGC changed its policy to overlook the tape and grade based upon the defect that the tape is covering up (e.g., if its holding a tear together they deduct for the tear, not the tape).

Outstanding!

ooh.  Is that a bound volume of Sgt. Furys?

It is not a spine tick. It is a color breaking spine tick. Can you please provide the grading standard that states color breaking spine ticks/stresses are allowed in 9.8's? I'm not familiar with it.

Overstreet which has been around a lot longer than CGC clearly states it is not allowed for a 9.8. Actually, color breaking spine stresses aren't even allowed in 9.6's.

CGC deliberately doesn't give clear guidance on their grading standards so they can get away with this. I bet you if I cracked this slab and submitted in 10 times it wouldn't get a 9.8. It only got a 9.8 because of the submitter. One of CGC's largest customers. 

No

Sold a JIM 83 to Alex.  Super easy transaction.  Great communication and a man of his word.

when comicconnect adds a 15% buyers premium after the end of the auction, does anyone know if that is reflected in their final listed hammer price or not? 

i was watching the jim83 5.0 that just ended tonight, but am not clear about the final price since they have that annoying bp. 

Don’t have an answer but do have an observation.  When you search some past sales there is a note about the 15% BP will be added to hammer.  That makes me think it is not added and thus not reflected until the sale is final ie buyer pays.  

It’s a spine tic.   Completely allowed in 9.8

Missed it by that much

It's a charge to US Seller for receiving funds from Canada (if G&S).  2.89% + 1.5% + fixed fee

Maybe do an hourly wage thing but with payment in the form of books.  $20/hour for 10 hours - take $200 in books of your choosing?

Could just do it as a friend (don't read any judgment into this).

4.4%.  See user agreement

Some sellers don’t like the increased vig that PayPal charges for payments from Canada.

Grade, Wrap then everything else in no particular order.  Only requirement, no tan or brittle pages.

Sold and closed

Don’t know who was making offers through HA.   Once I posted here, a board member agreed to purchase. But he reneged last night.

I have to rescan, but I found it on HA from prior sale so here is the link in the interim.

Great example.  Lots of action.

Did you really step away?

Dust shadows are killers.  Otherwise very nice.
