  1. Today makes 3 months for me. They received them on 5/18.
  2. I'm at 63 business days. Looks like I got 2 more weeks (at least) to go. Mike
  3. My favorites are all the listings with "NOT CGC" in the title. It seems to be quite popular. Mike
  4. I haven't gotten a neutral or negative yet but I have a feeling... The only thing I've EVER sold on Ebay is CGC blue labels, yet I have 4.9 stars for 'Item as Described' . How in the H-E-double hockey sticks do I not have 5 stars? Mike
  5. Something tells me "couldn't"" isn't the right word. They gotta line their pockets any way they can.
  6. MST - 7 books 5/18/15 - Received 7/15/15 - Verified 7/27/15 - SfG 7/29/15 - Graded MST - 5 books 8/6/15 - Received
  7. What's "matte" version? A variant?
  8. I plug in Mystery of the Batwoman a couple of times a year just so I can listen to the music.
  9. 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
  10. What's the difference with a Canadian edition?
  11. 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
  12. 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. Mike
  13. Slow Modern = 2.75 months? It's a shame that 2.75 months is thought of as quick, but it is these days.
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Picked these up today...finally! (Coupon) Have to figure out how to get that glare out of the scans.
  17. 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
