Chip - those are great! man - way more books than I thought - past 475 now and still another longbox to go have to go pick up more bags and boards, - A couple more gems that I know of remaining in the last box (saved the one I knew was the best) until then - tons of team ups - and thor (2x what is pictured) - decent enough shape.

It looks to be about 1/2 of a magazine sized shortbox or more - that was one of the extras he brought Mix of copper in the books too - brings back the memories - - he was finishing his collecting run back when I was beginning my first (I started reading back when they were 50c). some IM Not of a great value - but a nice run of nauts CAGE! A bunch I am not showing as well - this looks to be well north of the 500 we thought were there

thx chip - it keeps looking like a lot of the hauls you take in -

majority are 6 and up - have not even begun to drag up the best of them - the first box was the "misc group" - so some dc and such - majority are marvel with a ton of spider man and hulk

- foorwear aside - through the first smallbox of misc might even be a lot more than 500 - my count was based on full longbox and short boxes- but there were no boards.

Nice pickup today - one of those positive CL finds - where the guy brought the extra boxes he found when clearing stuff out..... One of the extra boxes - bunches of conan some treasurys under the conans just starting to sort and rebag much more work to do - most marvel bronze and early copper was supposed to be a 300 book collection - looks to be 500+

well - I will fully admit to CLOD status on that particular book - as I did not notice the trimming...... I think that CGC was trying to get more definition to the whole restoration and conservation scales - but really - think that they may just end up confusing things a lot with the multiple letters and numbers that they can assign. Any trimming gets "C" level (poor restoration) - which really - once it is trimmed - is there even a 1-2-3 difference anymore? I re-read the article above. The "C" you are referring to has nothing to do with conservation - trimmed books will still be PLODS. I like the idea of the new Conserved Grade, but I think it should be yet a different color. I do agree with the conserved grade thing too - to me there is a huge difference in PLOD for trimming - and a good real restoration job by a professional. At least now I have a good reference copy of what NOT to submit (as if that makes it better, )

Check the "pedigree" tab - they sometimes write the reason in there. Have one lot waiting for slabbing - listed as C1 - TRIMMED (UGH) - C = poor restoration - the 1 is slight. though once you are hit with the trimmed label - not really slight anything......

Very nice books in there - good for u that they were willing to part some stuff out

The North Myrtle indoor market has NOTHING of significance in it. Neither does the outdoor market in Little River. Might have to drive down to MB and check that place out. Pretty sure last time I was down there that place wasn't a flea market. Wolf's Flea market in Palatine Il is this exact set-up. Aisles upon aisles of basically garbage, vendors offering haircuts, shelves of old CD's, DVD's, VHS tapes..... the one in the old menards? - last time i was there they had 2 places to look - one guy near the concessions stand with some ok stuff - but he priced everything at "overstreet" with the whopping great deal of 30% off....... - course he was using the HIGHEST overstreet price even though the majority of his books were nowhere near mint. Other guy was in the back right corner. Boxes and boxes of 1990+ books. Probably some worrthwhile stuff - but I did not have time to go through much. No idea what he was charging either.

okay well I'm new to comics but here is what I provide for the 20% -I will sell it on alternative websites with no commissions on them like kijiji or craigslist -If I can't sell it for the price you want I will ship it to you at my cost - I offer payment options of paypal, check, concealed cash and money order that's all I can think of because like everyone else says I'm just starting out! How is this any different than what people could do themselves? You really are trying to sell this service to the exact wrong audience. This board is filled with high level buyers, sellers and dealers - that do this on a regular basis on their own. If you want to consign things - you need to go local - find friends and contacts that really do not want to be bothered with trying to move their old comics.

4/29 graded - Unless they slab and ship quick (doubtful) - going to be running past the 20 day mark for a coupon submission. Real shame that it looks like fast track is now required for them to hit the "standard" lead times for any grade.

coupon submission 4 books standard - received/verified 4/3 4/25 changed to scheduled for grading
