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

The Second Ship by Richard Phillips. Science fiction based on the Roswell Incident. Pretty good. Mike

Is anyone familiar with the Lexmark 7550? There's one on my local Graigslist for $20. Mike

Hi - I'm curious, is it generally considered better to use a scanner than a camera when selling on Ebay (or any other place)? I've never sold anything on there, but I have noticed a lot of photos taken with a camera. I have to admit, I've mistaken glares/shadows for defects when browsing on those sites. Is that the major advantage of using a scanner...to eliminate those kind of things? Thanks (and sorry if this post was out inappropriate) Mike
