I dropped an IF 15 that probably would have gotten a 9.8, rather than a 9.6 from CGC.

Cry me a river.

I haven't done damage to one of my comics myself. Here's as close as I come...

 

The Summer of '75.

 

I lent my best friend my brand new copy of Richie Rich Gold & Silver #1.

 

The next day I accidently broke his Green Ghost game. He got back at me by ripping the Richie Rich into tiny pieces and depositing them in my mailbox.

 

A few weeks ago, a 9.8 copy sold on eBay for over $500.

 

Should I bill him?

Yes, minus the value of the Green Ghost game today.

Can you say Tape Pull = Cover skin tear. I won't mention the book, still too painful. Yes FBB I know Thank you may I have another. I was transfering it to Mylar in the early 90s..........

Same here. I did it to a FF 12 on the front cover and it received a 5.0 from CGC rather than prob a 6.0. I left literallly hundreds on the table.

That's the WORST thing? geesh!

So if I sell something and am paid by Paypal, once I transfer the funds from my Paypal account to my bank account, am I insulated against any bogus clawbacks by a buyer? Can Paypal reach into the bank account that is "connected" to my Paypal account and withdraw funds from that account without my permission?

Depends when you joined paypal. Check the user agreement.

ALWAYS use a credit card when dealing with Paypal. PP offers little to NO protection by itself. I find it annoying that I have to answer "Are you sure you want to use a credit card?" every time I make a purchase but I'm thinking "Hell yea, they offer protection!"

Hey B, didn't realize your link was screwed up!

I think he should keep it the way it is.

What about asking John Byrne to sign FF # 282

but asking for him to "infinitize" his signature? That would look cool.

FF 211 and this....

 

 

 

Hmmmm... why does that book look familiar? Oh, yes! That's John Byrne's attempt at ripping off this story:

 

 

 

Which books?

 

Nightmare 20

Giant-size Dracula 5

X-men 108 (6 copies), 130, 140-143

MTU 53

FF 211 and this....

 

Who?

Where is the poor grammar?

Kudos to ArAich for some nice GVG readers Silver-Age ASMs!

 

 

Poor grammer but you all get my point!

Big thanks to Blazingbob who got me some cgc FF's in lightning quick time , did a super job in packing and paid more in postage than he billed me.

SO THANKS BOB!!!

I've had books grade 9.6 and 9.8 with what I think you are talking about.

Duh!! What didn't I think of that?

I buy more comics.

Same here. I create a "cushion".

Bubble plastic and newspaper both give off quite large (relatively) amounts of acid and toxins that can harm your comic books. I wouldn't advise using either as a long term storage solution.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

But those "products" aren't in direct contact with the bagged/boaded comics. Usually there's around 3 or 4 backboards to prevent any bent/crease on the spine of the last comic in contact with the boards/newspapers/bubbles plastic.

That's what I do too.

either air bubble plastic or even wrapped pages of newspapers in homogenic volumes do the trick very well...

True! I would put 2, 5 and 9 hard to find as well!

For every AF15, there's Dazzler 1, Secret Wars II 1, Man of Steel 1 etc etc. you get my drift.. it's essentially a crapshoot.

I completely agree with you and Mister Comics.. that is why I *always* ask for a front cover and back cover scan (esp if CGC cuz I will have to pay through my nose). If they don't meet my request, I delete them off my watching list.

It's a nice picture.. with a GREAT back cover.. but is it true that there are 2 spine stresses (very very small mind you)? I wouldn't allow that in a NM 9.4 -- how do other people feel?

That's really good. I use the OWL to describe my books and it would be great use as a web resource.
