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.

Wait - duck dynasty is cosplaying jimbo??

I’m in

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

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

Ahhhhhhhhhh too slow....... nice pickup -

Batman????

As I mentioned earlier Peter is not always in the store and he is the only one that can do something. Yes I am an hour away from the store so I can’t drop in every few hours to check if he is there. Everyone should be CALLING CGC - make sure to ask exactly who you are speaking with. State dates and invoice numbers. RECORD ALL ANSWERS - make sure the person on the other line knows you are writing every detail down. If the 1st per person online cannot really help you - ask to speak to a manager. Do the same thing ( record exactly who they are and what they say) --- state specifically that you have tried to contact paradise and they have not given any information. If they do not give you any information - ask to speak to a manager of their registered dealers. You are looking for an answer as to when the books were submitted. As far as the shop - ask specifically WHEN "peter" will be in the shop. Make sure to schedule a phone call - do not accept " he will call you this weekend" - get a commitment that he will be in the store on "friday" and call you back then ( or whatever) - keep hitting CGC too - do not simply email - CALL CALL CALL AND MAKE SURE TO RECORD ALL INFORMATION. In the US - with only limited recorded contact - you could take them to small claims court pretty quick after multiple refusals of contact.

Bought IM 1 and 55 - great price, fast shipping...

BCW bags and boards --- can be .10 a set if you order as an individual ( need to order 10 sets each plus enough total for free shipping). If you are a wholesaler - you can get them for under .07 a set but the minimum order goes up ( $1000 to get free shipping). bagging and boarding can go fast with help - and you do not need to be especially careful with the comics ( they are the cheap ones after all). I see it as protection for moving the books from place to place - as well as rough handling by people digging.

New Gods 7 around a 5/6

both books per PM

This --- I do have --- time permitting I will even try to make patches of like books ( hulk, xmen) ...... - the one big show I try to do ----- probably 10 longs of just indys!!!!

I see a lot of people looking thru $1 boxes with want lists so I'd think those people would be more inclined to grab a stack of books if they are in order. True - you make it easier for them - but the the list guys might only look in specific locations. If they dig - odds are they look through a lot more of the boxes and might pull extras on a whim....... I only had one person complain about digging. I kindly explained that then they would have to be $2 books to justify the labor to sort. I will bag and board most - but then I have free labor for that ( my kids) - well, almost free - they get comics......

Great - just great. So he got paid to grade books which makes him ineligible for this event?? Edited 1 hour ago by 1Cool hmmmm - so you are one of those....... "not a professional grader" types??????

I believe that the phrase "time in a bottle" refers to the amount of beer you can drink before last call.

I believe —— the best cover is used for the grade — this one has outer 9.8 and inner 9.4 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mystic-Arcana-3-Double-Cover-CGC-9-8-9-4-Scarlet-Witch-1-1st-print-WP/112823304756?hash=item1a44cb0234:g:R2gAAOSw6DtYTbN~

You guys and your complex board names.........

Signature Service is no guarantee either, I've heard several recent stories (and personally experienced one) of the carrier signing for the item themselves and leaving it. All across the big three (USPS, UPS, FedEx) too. Obvious mail fraud, yet the carriers don't do **&% about it. Only sure fire way to protect yourself from eBay as a seller is to not sell on eBay. --- but that still covers you as a seller. While I never want to screw a buyer over - the signature confirmation covers you.

It would only be gone if you did something stupid with it. Or if you invest in an ICO - where 10% is taken by hackers https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/cryptocurrency-ico-10-percent-hackers/ Or if had money at coincheck https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/28/coincheck-nem-hack-unlikely-last-for-cryptocurrency-space-analyst.html Or your crypto of choice fails ( or you give $$ to the outright scam ones).... http://fortune.com/2018/02/25/cryptocurrency-ico-collapse/

Watched that episode recently. He found what looked to be either a large PC or a retail store inventory, full of comics and action figures, I think It was "valued" arou Darrel actually found a real score back in the 1990s - I do not count any of the SW shows as real. A lousy copy of the pic - he shared this back in an earlier episode talking about his first really big score.

DailyMail.com revealed that several police officers and members of Adult Protective Services attended the home to investigate allegations of battery and separate allegations of elder abuse. from the link @STORMSHADOW_80 posted ( lots of detail) The elder abuse one is more of an accusation that Anderson ( and possibly the nurse) were working to drive a wedge between Stan and his daughter - most likely to funnel $$$$ into their pockets. The nurse's actions are crazy too - ok, so when I hit 95 I might like what was going on, but her behavior may have led Stan to believe that was normal for nursing care and led to his ( alleged) poor behavior recently with other nurses..... Good to see his daughter is standing up for him and trying to get things stable.

The ebay store also has another nice benefit - with the vacation settings. I travel for work - and this helps prevent getting a shipping hit when you just do not feel like packaging a bunch of books after that 6 hour plane ride... I only have the 250 one, but that is due to my time limits ( ok - i'm lazy too). I see a dramatic uptic in sales if I maintain 200+ listings.
