Gang, I'm sorry about the delay for the images. I purchased my images from CGC and invariably, they always take their time showing up. I've had to wait up to a week sometimes for images even though I have the books in hand and can scan them myself. Images coming now. Also, the ASM #137 CGC 9.8 was a typo - it's an ASM #134 CGC 9.8

Gang, this is a list of books I have available for sale. I'll post scans as they are available. Feel free to message me with details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amazing Spider-man #134 CGC 9.8 OWW - Asking $825 Amazing Spider-man #149 CGC 9.8 OWW - Asking $2500 Blackhawk #139 CGC 9.4 White (1958) - Asking $750 (impossible book, highest graded by far, gorgeously bright and white copy) Conan The Barbarian #19 CGC 9.8 OWW - Asking $650 Giant Size Chillers #1 CGC 9.6 OWW (Origin and 1st app of Lillith, Daughter of Dracula) - Asking $500 Iron Fist #15 CGC 9.6 White - Asking $125 Iron Man #55 CGC 9.4 OWW - Asking $1800 Sgt.

Shipping: Certified books, shipping is included FREE within North America, ROW we split it. Raw books, include $10 for shipping within North America. ROW I will split with interested parties.  Who wins: Time stamp seals the deal as to who wins regardless of the form of communication (including PM, in the thread, text or phone conversation). A negotiation is not a deal until both sides have agreed on terms. If there is an unconditional posted (or communicated) it will trump all negotiations unless we have already both agreed to terms before the was posted. In that case, the will have been in vain. Except that it will give you street cred and look cool to passers by. No House Of Shame or Probationary members or any others of ill repute. Returns: I am considered a very good grader among my peers ( Here is a link to my kudos thread ) but since even CGC is inconsistent I will not guarantee a CGC grade. I will guarantee to be within one grade increment in either direction - so if I am calling the book a 9.4 it could go 9.2 or 9.6. If it falls outside of those parameters (and it does happen that they go in both directions), I will offer a refund. But I don't expect anyone to complain if I undergraded it. I will accept returns if item is otherwise not as described. Consider all books pressed. Pricing: I try to price books close to fair market value. I am open to offers but it's not very likely I'm going to be accepting offers at 30% off fair market value as I can wholesale books all day long at those prices.

You're exaggerating and misleading people again. CBCS's success probably has nothing to do with putting restored books in a blue label with a restored notation. If anything, as Bob said, it has to do with their grading (and in my opinion) their appearance. They tightened up their grading, but again as Bob said, it's tough to gain ground once you lose it, and they have modified their label.

I understand people not realizing that a restored book can be in a blue label after CGC has set a precedent of having only unrestored books in a blue label for 16 years prior. What I don't understand is how the label can be deceptive when something is clearly written on the label. Deceptive sellers I understand. They are around in every aspect of life. But it's not the label's fault in that case. Anyway, I think this discussion has run it's course. We're just starting to go in circles.

I don't know why you're making this discussion about me. I don't 'want' anything here. I really don't care what restored books sell for because it doesn't affect me in any way (just as I never have cared). The discussion went on a tangent when people were complaining that books were getting 'destroyed' to remove resto. I gave the opinion that if both restored and unrestored books were slabbed in a uniform label color, we probably wouldn't have as large a price differential between the two because people would probably understand restored books better and that would close the price gap. You might disagree or agree but there are facts to support my opinion from other types of marketing. But stop making it about me as it makes no difference to me.

They likely would, but I don't understand why that would be a problem. This whole discussion started because people were complaining in this thread that removing restoration from books destroys them and all I am saying is that I believe that if there weren't different colored labels, you probably wouldn't have the same price gaps between restored and unrestored books opening the doors to the resto removal market. Personally, I don't care either way. It doesn't affect me what restored books sell for in any way. I'm just having the discussion for the benefit of people who wish that restored books didn't have resto scraped off of them.
