Bought a CGC 9.0 Marvel Preview 4 . Great book. Well packaged shipped fast and an easy guy to work with. Thanks.

I'll speak as a collector on the 1As versus store variants. When a comic has a low print and is scarce and in high demand the 1As feel more authentic than the store variants. Store variants to me become more desirable in a comic that has a higher print run especially when the cover art is more appealing than its 1A counterpart. The higher print run makes people want something that feels more scarce.

Even if the store variants are more rare in a low print run situation, the low print run is already making the book hard to come by and people would rather own the "newsstand" version and not a made for only one store version.

Stating the obvious I know just want to simplify what I think is going on...

Interesting to watch it all play out.

If your going for one and looking at paying 15 you might want to consider this: http://shop.comicxposure.com/NYCC-CLANDESTINO-1-COMICXPOSURE-EXCLUSIVE-LIMIT-1-PER-CUSTOMER-CX1054.htm

Although cover A's might repeat the WCNGH pattern..

I like the characters and have invested in a few Yu, lim, and game variants. Also just bought that 10 variant set for 39.99. Too good a deal to pass up... Cover price . Ebay: judahstarguy

I'd like to ask for advice with an issue I have with USPS, never happened to me before and I don't know what to do at this point.

Story is I send a wrong book to a buyer and when informed I shipped the right book to him, and asked him to ship the wrong book to a dealer for consignment. It's not a big ticket item, we are talking $40 $50 in value.

The comic was shipped priority mail with $50 insurance.

The tracking number show that the item was "delivered to agent", but the dealer says he never received the package. He opened a case and this is what they told him:

 

---"I called USPS back regarding the case I opened on July 15. They said the case had been closed as "resolved" by the local post office investigating the claim. The only note left by the person who closed the case said that they called the customer. They were supposed to call me, but they didn't, so I don't know who they think they called, or if they really did.

The case didn't say anything about whether the item was found or confirmed lost or anything--all it said was that they called the customer. The guy I was speaking with at USPS support said filing a claim would be the appropriate action at this point.

 

I asked our receiving manager about how packages are received and if they're signed for:

"They don't give us a list, just have everything in bins ready to wheel out. The only individual signing that ever takes place is if any package is certified, otherwise they keep a name on file that they scan that serves as a signature when businesses pick up."

He also said that he'd never seen "Delivered to agent" before--our packages normally always just say "Delivered". He's the one that deals with those received shipments the most and so is most familiar with what the tracking normally looks like. So it does sound like there was something unusual about that package--our shipments don't normally say "delivered to agent". ---

 

Meanwhile, I opened a case in the USPS site asking for the insurance, providing a declaration of value, but they denied the clim three times, with no explanation whatsoever, on the web page it only says "Claim denied"

 

So, at this point, I have a package that was shipped, tracking says "delivered to agent", the addressee never received the item, post office don't know what"delivered to agent" means and they can not provide any signature on delivery. Finally, USPS denied my official claim.

 

Let me say that I have complete faith in both the person who shipped the book to the dealer and the dealer himself, it looks to me like a total mess from the most office / USPS, but what can I do now?

 

Sorry about the wall of text

If you really want to chase this thing down to the bitter end I would start by talking to your local postmaster. Tell them you have a complaint and that you think someone is just closing a case to cover up a mistake or theft. Bring up the fact you paid for insured shipping and now the item was never delivered with no valid reason given for the claim to be denied. The postmaster is like the manager,boss, man in charge. I would take your case to him/her.

I went with the shotgun method on her before prices went up. Bought 4x Point One, 6x 17 2nd, 3 MM 1, 2 MM1 1:100... Couldn't miss .

on 17's general significance.. Isn't it like this? Un-named cameo =14 Kamal Khan's name is first mentioned in 17?

Worked with me on a price and shipping terms. Item was exactly as described when it arrived. The comic was more than adequately protected. A professional experience from start to finish. Much appreciated.
