  1. PLEASE POST A PICTURE OF THIS BOOK I WANNA SEE IT. I WONDER HOW NICE IT IS!
  2. my wife got me the history of EC comics one from the sale for my birthday. it's great! Thank you for posting this, so I knew what to ask for!
  3. Just an update, I got in touch with Melissa and I believe they're going to make it right/ they have the book again. The crack in the inner sealed plastic was the more concerning issue. It seems like it could possibly damage the back cover with time. Once that was fixed, the scuffs were really just frustrating after having it mailed back and forth 4 times. If I got the book back the first time with just the scuffs I wouldn't have been as ticked off over it.
  4. I'd like to preface this summary of events with the statement that I am usually not very nit picky. But given the cost of grading and value of the book, I find this unacceptable. It's also strange given how many slabs I've gotten back ok. For whatever reason they can't fix this one book. How many months will it take? 1) Crossover CGC Submission sent April 20. I get from a 7.0 in other holder to a 6.5. I'm ok with it. 2) May 17 I get the book back. The inner well plastic holder (inside) has a crack in it, over a portion of the back cover. I'm worried it will damage the comic so I ship it back. Mechanical Error #1. See pics. 3) June 16 I get the book back a second time. They literally just kept the book for a month and mailed it back. It's exactly the same. Except this time I do notice the book moves around a bit inside the holder. Mechanical Error #2. 4) July 24 I get the book back a 3rd time. The crack is gone, but now back cover, once again, inner well, has all of these scuffs everywhere on the inside. Also, it still moves around inside just a little. Re: Scuffs, If you shine it over light you see it. There's quite a few. The pic shows it but there's even more as you reflect under the light. Very similar to a post I saw on the forums from someone else posted July 16 for a venom lethal protector gold cover. Waiting on a call back now from CGC. Customer Service escalated.... How much time and money and shipments and waiting, insurance, does it take to get it right? What's the point in all of this if there isn't someone looking at the comic before it's sent? And on High Dollar books, have someone a bit more senior. Just wanted to share my experience. I'm completely underwhelmed and feel like my time and money has been wasted. It makes me want to just focus on other investments (I'm a collector and reader but when a book is this expensive...) Thanks for reading, and pray for me. I've lost faith.
  5. back in the club again! (I sold my slabbed one last year. WHY!?) Picked up a real shower of a 3.0/3.5 from Kyles Comics at the Queens Comic Party (in Brooklyn!) this last weekend! A bonus was our recreation of the cover with the show promoter, Billy A good time was had by all! Felt great to see that old hard wood log again this morning!
  6. They are beautiful books, and it's exciting to see so many raw. Keep them all forever and continue the collecting legacy of your amazing father!!!!!
  7. Here is my book that id like to submit a to CGC for crossover grading. I have a question regarding the 07- mark. It looks to be grease pencil. Is this something that could be removed with a clean / press? Perhaps it is what smudged the bottom right as you see some light smudge too. Should I even bother? Im unsure if a clean and press would help this book get a higher grade. I am hoping to match it at a 7.0. Im wondering whether to just do crossover or to go all out... Thanks for taking the time! The book looks great In person.
  8. 6.5 gang!!!! IF HE'S NOT SELLIN, I'M NOT SELLIN!!!!!
  9. he probably knows a lot about movies tho!
  10. whats up with that sticker? why would they award that 7.5 the honor of the sticker if its missing a piece out the side? How does QES work? You just pay them to get the sticker?
  11. damn everyones really goin in on Vinny! I don't know him that well but he seems like a nice enough guy the few times I've met him!
