Even though I don't really think it's true, I sure hope they give coupons for renewers. Like you, no plans to renew without the coupons. Mike

What's the difference with a Canadian edition?

I seem to recall someone saying there is a way to block members who have less than a certain number of feedbacks. Can someone tell me how to do that? I recently had a bad experience with a guy with 1 feedback winning an auction & I'd rather not go thru that again. Mike

I'm almost done with Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box. I'm sure you all know that Hill is Stephen King's son. Next, I have to re-read the first 2 books in Justin Cronin's excellent Passage trilogy before the third book comes out this fall. I hope Amy doesn't die...she reminds me of Blade the Vampire Hunter.

Modern slow 5/18/15 - Received

Slow Modern = 2.75 months? It's a shame that 2.75 months is thought of as quick, but it is these days.

That's what he said. I found some old pictures... It cost me a pretty penny. I had to pay to have it shipped back to CGC, & then when they said they would have to regrade it, I paid for that also. Oh well, live & learn. I'm just curious if there's something like putting too much bubble-wrap on or something. Mike

I sold a slab to a guy in California last summer (I'm in MI)...when it arrived, the heat had warped the plastic so bad that it had to be reholdered (on my dime). I used bubble-wrap around the slab & inserted that into a priority box. Anything I could've done different? Come to think of it, CGC called me when they got it & told me it would need to be regraded because the book 'may' have been affected. It did go down to a 6.0 from a 6.5. Mike

Picked these up today...finally! (Coupon) Have to figure out how to get that glare out of the scans.

What's your opinion of 'quick press'? How does one decide if a book needs a press, or if a quick press would do? Mike

I think I have to re-think how I determine the value of the comics that I submit (I think they ask this for insurance reasons?) The amount that I put down is way different from their value when they are sent back to me - 4 months later. Mike

BOO!! Lions, baby!

Your message is writing in a manner humorous.

Bought a used HP 8250 off ebay a few months ago...$50. Works perfect. Mike

Hmm...it's just that I could've swore it said "graded' when I woke up Saturday morning, but then later in the day it changed to 'Shipped/Safe'. Oh well, no biggie. Mike
