Take photos of the item before boxing it up.  Purchase shipping insurance for the full value of the item.  If someone at the receiving end wants to pull a scam, then they'd have to send you pics of the "damaged" case, and then you simply pass that along to the shipping insurer.  There would be some variations of how this could go through the insurer, but a CGC 9.8 book is going to be valued as a CGC 9.8 book (no broken slab).

Very good advice. Thank you

How do you know someone hasn't already done this with your slabs?

Anything is possible.

 Anything is possible and if something like that worries you, may I suggest using a third-party reputable company like Heritage Auction, ComicLink, ComicConnect, MyComicShop, etc. Takes a little time to get paid though. 

Thanks for the reply. I have used Comic Link to buy many times and never had a problem

This is somewhat of an unlikely scenario since the a great deal of value in the book comes with the 9.8 label which would be lost if the buyer swaps the book. In this scenario, they would have to crack the slab open (not easy), remove the book without damaging it and submit to CGC for regrading. Then wait 1-2 months and hope the book retained the original grade. That's a lot of work for a potential scammer.

Thanks for the reply.  Hope your day is good. The reason I thought of this questions was I sold season tickets for the Chicago bears on a secondary ticket site. The receiving party signed for the tickets but reported the envelope was empty. Nothing came to it when the tickets were gonna be voided and new ones sent to me. When the receiving person was notified of this he explained that his wife had the tickets .

The same thing can be said about any ebay purchase really. If you are freaked out about it explain in your listing you will not sell to anyone with low feedback. I have sold and bought expensive books off of ebay with no issues.

Thank s for the reply. I have never had problems with Ebay either. I was curious if this has happened to anyone and what the outcome was. 

This is my first time posting on this forum so please be understanding. I have never had a problem buying comics or selling non-slabbed comics on Ebay. Anyway,  I bought a couple of Batman Adventures #12  graded 9.8 a few years back for my wife. Since then it has risen in price which was nice but not expected. I thought about selling one but she stopped that. My initial hesitation was this: What is my recourse if someone received the package intact but breaks the case, reports that it was damaged upon arrival and inserts a bad copy in its place. They then requests a refund and in return I get the "damaged" copy. Thanks for taking the time to look at this and all comments are greatly appreciated.

Anybody know what a Austin Books variant is? I see a presell of the #2 variant for this. Never heard of it.

Check out Corner Store Comics website. Presell for $8

Hello everybody and I hope your day is good. New at this and this is my first post.

Thanks for any reply

Nah, that's insane. Hold out and you'll find it much cheaper.
