Already have you covered

Thanks Dre!

Dre, please put me down for X1 each of the WD 181 and Redneck 13 variants CGC 9.8 Fast Track.

Hello Mollie!

Please add the following.

Set: Redneck

Book: Redneck 6 Pink Lorenzo Signature Variant

Certification #: 1244636004

Thank you!

USPS is the worst for me.  Mangled packages, lost packages, signature confirmation packages left on my porch without a signature, soaking wet packages that were left out in the rain, etc.  Once when trying to locate a signature confirmation package they lost at the local USPS station, the manager told me that it wasn't his job to place the package in my hands.  I told him that signature confirmation means exactly that.  I sign for the package in your presence and then you place it in my hands.

Molly,

Please do not add the La Mole Con Walking Dead #1 reprint into the Complete with Variants set.  It's a Spanish-edition reprint of WD#1.  If we add it, we would have to include every foreign language reprint of any Walking Dead comic books (such as the German editions, the Argentinian editions, etc.).  No foreign editions exist in the set and custom sets were created or this type of request.  If someone wants to add this book they should do it in the custom set.  Feel free to poll the rest of the WD collectors to get a consensus if you prefer.

Here's a link to the MCS page where it shows this is indeed a foreign edition of the book:

Thank you,

I agree.  Foreign language reprints do not belong in the Walking Dead Complete set.  They should be in a custom set or a separate competitive set of their own.

They are simply the worst in the business.  You cannot reach anyone at the company via phone or email.  I had to open a dispute with PayPal to get my money back from them.  If they're the only company offering an exclusive variant that I want, I'll just go without it.

CGC will allow you to ship UPS using your own insurance coverage.  I've never had to make a claim, but I'm sure they would go by the dollar amount you listed on the CGC invoice. 

I have regular collector's insurance and not the dealer/vendor variety.  There are three categories of shipping coverage, and you have to use different carriers for each.  UPS is good for up to $2500 with signature confirmation.

I have a collector's insurance policy from CIS, and they cover the insurance on packages I ship or receive.  You have to use signature confirmation, and different services have to be used depending on the value of the package.  I use UPS for all my my CGC packages.  They get to me in two days, and I have them routed to the local UPS store.  I get an email when package arrives, and I pick it up after work.  Easy.

UPS is a lot cheaper than registered mail and without all of the headaches.  I've had registered mail get lost inside the destination post office, and I've had it take almost three weeks to get to me.  I hate using it.

If you ship or receive a lot, you may save enough on shipping insurance and/or registered mail to offset the cost of a policy.

Lower price.

This is a very hard-to-find book and harder to find in high grade.  There are currently only three 9.8's in the CGC census.

52.  My mom bought me comics before I was able to read because I liked the pictures.  Been hooked ever since.

I don't think it helped that I started a thread called "I hate the new boards."

I really want to start quoting statistics, but I think I've cried enough and I don't want to take anything away from the winners - especially that beautiful Preacher set. Nothing head-scratching about that win.

I'm stopping at issue 275, so as the registry continues to grow in size, my completion percentage will continue to shrink. Not sure if I'll ever win now, even if I do find the remaining five books.

But I continue to enjoy my collection, and the hunt, nonetheless.

Congrats to all the winners - especially Rune!

I appreciate the compliment on the Preacher set.  I had no idea it was even being considered for the best modern age category.  So, no one was more surprised than I was.

Hello Mollie.

Can you please create a set for Redneck by Image/Skybound?

The following issues have been graded so far:

Ashcan #1

#1

#1 Convention Edition

#1 Gold Foil Edition

#1 Silver Foil Edition

#1 2nd Print (*)

#2

#3 (*)

#3 Convention Edition

#3 Variant Cover (*)

(*) These issues have been graded, but have not made it into the census yet.  And, #1 3rd print and #2 2nd print may be graded by the time you get to this.

Thanks!

Added a lot of new CGC 9.8 issues tonight.

I have never been able to find print numbers on this book, but it is extremely rare.  There are a total of five copies in the CGC census.  This one is a CGC 8.0, and a picture of it is shown below.

Hello Mollie:

Could you please add the Preacher #1 Retailer Incentive Edition (5/16) to the Preacher Complete Set?

Also please consider adding Direct Currents #85 (4/95) to the set since it contains a preview of Preacher #1, and it appeared prior to the one in Absolute Vertigo (which is already in the set).  The book also features the cover of Preacher #1 on one of it's flip covers.   The link below has a picture and description of the book (it's the second one in the list).

It is rumored that Negan's backstory will be included in the TV show, and this storyline would be the obvious choice for that material.  

Only 14 CGC copies of issue #1 exist currently.
