How do the pictures look of the book on eBay? Is any of this damage visible? Did the seller post front and back scans/photos?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/132677826969?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l10137

pretty sure this is it —- the back image is not that great but you can see the white from the corner damage

the seller does not acccept returns - so you could ask them - but likely would have to pony up shipping at a minimum which given the books cost might be a stretch.... migh be able to file a “not as described” claim - but might be tough given the images in the sale.  I looked over several others auctions for the same book - I do not see the corner damage but still might be considered “production” issues by CGC.......

Sent in a list —- need to ru an errand —- thx all around for another cool contest....

Lol —— moot point — but I did turn in scores.... would still be a zero......

I was ok with the back cover stain though I thought it was ink or dirt. I'm not sure what it is anymore. The top edge is hard to see in the sales scans. It's lot uglier in person I guess and looks fuzzy almost like mold. Seller has accepted a return.

I was just curious ---- ( I saw the ebay sale) --- I was wondering if this was a case of you thinking something was not as described - or just unhappy with that top edge. Since the seller does accept returns - kind of a moot point with weather or not you had to pressure them with a not as described claim.... 

Interesting if that was mold---looks like the latest gen slab so not like it has been ageing for 10+ years. I have seen some real fugly distribution ink marks - but usually that is because of way too much ink. This looks like the sputtering end of the spray can ( if ink) .....

glad it worked out for you....

The top is likely distributor ink - edges of which are somewhat visible on the sale scans. The green stain - also visible on the sale scans.

IMO -- -looks like you got the book as described/scanned.... so why the return???

QC error -

Look at the restoration grading scale - trimming of any kind is a  C ( poor) category for resto. This book is likely not trimmed given the location of the text ( on the top label???? ) --- very strange for sure.....

I hope he’s alright.  Anyone friends/follow him on FB or IG?  Is he posting there?

I do not follow him - bu did a quick look just to see ---

looks like he deleted his facebook

active on twitter -

bitcoin

crypto

bitcoin

crypto.....

 so - looks like he is focused on his crypto get rich scheme.........

kind of sad - if he would put half the effort into a real job and/or improving himself with a trade school (or equivalent) - he would be so much better off......  but at least he is surviving.....

Did that Valkryie chick die on the ship with all the Asgardians?

The directors addressed this question - she got away along with others, including the Kronan from Ragnarok, via escape pods (all off screen).  Remember Thor tells the Guardians Thanos slaughted half his people so we know not all the Asgardians died. 

What sticks with me --- this falls under Thanos' standard theme of killing off "half". So might not really be an escape as much as Thanos being Thanos and this might be one of those times where he set the seeds for his undoing. 

The late scene with Thanos and Gamora in the soul stone.... I know how they like to tie everything together and drop easter eggs... This scene seems to me to be more of the last scene from the next Avengers movie. Thanos states - it cost him everything... but how does he know that at the instant he snaps his plan into action?  And what is "everything " to Thanos? - he already sacrificed Gamora earlier, so his everything now would be what??????

Only other observation I had that appears not to have been discussed---  GROOT!!!!  So, he was part of the 50% taken at the end of the movie... or was he???

He gave up an arm to stormbreaker - the weapon that can take down Thanos....  This had to be done for a reason in the plotline ( other than Peter D not knowing where he put the handle after  the axe was forged) ..... My thought is that this will play into how they bring back the people that were "dusted" as it can serve as an anchor between reality and where they ended up.

Man this seller is leaving himself wide open to miscreant saying they never got the item since it wasnt tracked and getting money back!!!  Unless it was tracked media mail gets free tracking if you go to the post office.

I do not think OP said there was no tracking - I have a sale waiting to ship. I can add tracking and insurance.  USPS will do up to 5K for insurance, the ebay shipcover will do $1000.

Though.... if I were a USPS postmaster -  insured media mail with even 5K insurance deserves a look under the hood......

OP - there is at least some clues you can see in your order-- "economy shipping" comes up as media mail ( you have to click the shipping details).  Standard shipping does not show any specific, and expedited shipping ( for my listings anyway) - is USPS priority.

If there is no tracking -- seller is complete buffoon......

Hopefully things arrive ok - then neutral feedback.

I cannot believe anyone would ship a 6K book like this. I give more though to a $10 book......

I'd happily make that deal.  If it's been years that they haven't sold, they're just not going to sell for you.  Let the other guy figure out how to move them.  $60 US for a mixed long box isn't giving it away by any stretch.

I can get him as many long boxes of drek as he wants for $60 a piece.

I'll sell for $55 each.......

- seriously for a picked over box, $60 is a great deal. I ( and many others) - would sell all day for this and even less even if it means taking a hit. The bulk items are a pain to move unless you are a regular at a con or flea market - and I really do not have the time to set up more than once or twice a year. Even then - you seem to get cherry picked to death.

Nope - if the staple is missing no holes in pages or cover. A CGC graded book will place a note on the cover - but not ding the grade. 

If there are  holes in the book where a staple would be - this is a big hit to the grade as it is a missing/removed staple.

that is kind of what i am working on i have found signatures dating all the way back to 1962 but they are scarce in older years, starting 1975 onward he began signing much more 

I have one of the ASM treasure editions with his sig ( they had a 1000 piece signing with him and Romita) - you want a pic of the sig? I think these are from ~ 1974 ish

LOL. Didn't the mods yank the photos of all the boardies sitting around that room and in the closet. That was priceless.

- still around - I had to reread many pages of that old thread - still entertaining.
