So you all think this is a freak occurance?

Does the slab brittle over time? I know they say replace them after a period of time but I never imagined them to "explode" (my words...not assessing blame) like this one did. Jim

I've had this slab for years. Never a problem. Put it up this morning. Perfect. Was talking with a person about the wall books later and it has big cracks on the front and back and spider cracks on the edges. Again weird. Jim

I'm doing really well. Thank you for asking. Haven't been in the comics game much since I retired from the military and got a government job. Probably working harder now then then. Still try to stay abreast with the hobby as much as possible but really haven't had the time. How have you been Mr. Ryan? I haven't done a show since those I did in Germany/Austria. In fact, this is the first show I've done in the US. I did pretty well my first day but being the only dealer with actual comics at a show with plenty of pop culture dealers at a proposed "Comic-con" may have something to do with it. Bought a big collection (65 boxes) of primarily late-Silver/Bronze comics last March from a former co-worker who needed the money. Well...this slab crack has me dumbfounded. I know it was good when I put it on the wall. Then later, it cracked to all hell. I was there the whole time, so I am at a lost why. Jim

I set up at the Pensacola Comic-con today. Grabbed a couple CGC stabbed comics with me. Put up one on my "wall" and it was fine. Went back later and the slab looked like it exploded. Big cracks along the front and back of the slab. It wasn't dropped or anything like that. Was just sitting there. Has anyone seen something like this before? Weird. Jim

I recently bought a collection that had all these and more. On some of the keys, multiple copies. It happens on occasion. But not very often. Jim

OK I just got home and this thread is being closed. I'll send you all an invoice tomorrow afternoon after I get home from work. Thanks again.

You have the invaders and Luke Cage. The MOKF was taken earlier.

Well I planned on posting more today but the wife has other plans for me. So what I'll do is offer 10% off any comic that hasn't sold yet and close this up tonight. Will be sending out invoices tomorrow night. Plan on doing a Copper/Modern sales thread on Weds due to having to work tomorrow and Tues. Thanks to all who bought so far. Jim
