Reminder that shipping is FREE within North America

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. Payment: Paypal, bank wire, check or MO.

And a 2nd batch of books coming up for sale as well. As soon as I can scan them they will go up.

I slabbed one of the 9.8's years ago.

It's just about the chase of something either rare or unusual. Like any other printing defects (or variants from other countries, etc).

I wouldn't waste your time investing $350. The return will be minimal and not worth the effort or the transaction costs. Buy something you really like and enjoy it. Ir buy a few Silver or Gold coins for that money and put it away for when the revolution starts.

I miss the old chat forum and the Friday threads that used to seem to go on and on forever. The "Anyone Awake" threads were the best.

It did?

Thank you, Milady. I'm going to close the thread to move these books elsewhere but if anyone is interested, they know where to find me.

I hadn't heard about Yancy Street but a quick Google search shows that it was already circulating in the mid 1960's (1965 for the copy I saw), showing that fandom was already underway by that time.

I would say that Marvel helped fuel it with those blurbs but they were only capitalizing on something that was already underway by the late 1960's, judging by accounts in this thread.

Cherry picking your examples. If someone was buying the 9.6 thinking it was upgradeable then the PQ would be irrelevant. Obviously that is what the seller was hoping for when he listed the 9.6 as 'unpressed'

They removed comments from the old labels because they felt that it made some books less desirable than others of the same grade when they felt that a book in a given grade should have been equal to another book of the same grade. It's the same reason they used to list all of the different pre grader grades in the grading notes and now they only list the finalizer grade.
