  1. Next up is X-Men 1 (1991), Magneto cover. Double signed by Jim Lee and Chris Claremont on 4/6/2018, I'd call this one about as in between as you can get. I say 9.7, but the graders gave it an SS 9.6. Sold by PM
  2. First up will be X-Men (1991) #4, 9.8 blue with white pages. First appearance of Omega Red. Direct editions are sneaking up on the $400 threshold on eBay, but all I'm asking you for is... $315 shipped Sold to @apoptosis
  3. As some of you already may have seen, I'm grappling with some personal jive at the moment that has me selling off some of my non-core collection books and downgrading some others. As I've become fond of saying, when life gives you lemons, slice them up and put one in your favorite hefeweizen. Also going to be running a few books in G/S/B, so click over there if you've got the time Necessities first: Payment: In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check / money order / Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance. Payment generally due within 10 business days. However, time payments are an option on purchases $750+. PM me in advance to discuss though. Shipping (domestic): Book(s) will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail. Domestic shipping is included in the listed price. International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost. Please inquire first for an accurate quote, and bear in mind how much time international shipping has been taking lately. Returns: No returns on CGC books as you know what you're getting. Raw books are being sold as readers, but if any of them have fatal flaws (missing pages, etc.), I'll certainly work with you on making things right. On the HoS? Probation list? Or I simply don't like you (aka on my ignore list)? Don't bother. Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn. And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page). First posted in the thread wins a book outright (so don't PM it to me, a thread take it wins out regardless of time stamp), well reasoned offers always considered.
  4. I recently made the decision to downgrade slightly to free up a little more cash. As in 10 minutes ago recently.

And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page). First wins the book outright, well reasoned offers always considered. Not a whole lot needs to be said. Book has obviously taken off toward the stratosphere in recent weeks. With 7.5s just starting to eke over the $3000 threshold, let's call this book... $2400 shipped
  5. Why bother with the T-shirt and shorts, you already had the bathrobe.
  6. Sounds like me up to age 18. Suffice to say, it DID NOT prepare me for adulthood. Helicopter parents (like mine) deprive their kids of so much practical life experience.
  7. As someone who largely coasted through school, I can confirm it gets even harder once college starts.
  8. That point gets consistently lost on certain Rally proponents.
  9. Gotta be unslabbed 9.2s or they’re no good.
  10. FF 55, Detective 411, and X-Men 42 have sold by PM Marvel Tales 98 is the only book left -- $175 shipped and its yours
  11. Brandon's tenacity in searching old sales threads netted him a Wolverine #7 from me, transaction went perfect
  12. Picked up an IH 271 and Uncanny 221, packing was superb, shipping was quick. A+ transaction
  13. I think you know that I've always agreed with you that vintage collectables of all sorts absolutely represent an investable class of assets. However, the part I bolded is the problem in your argument. You don't own any part of the actual book, your shares simply represent your portion of whatever the fair market value is determined to be at any given time. If memory serves, someone previously pointed out that if Rally were to go under and wipe out all the shareholders in their assets, the shareholders have no underlying claim to any liquidation proceeds. Joe Pesci's speech in My Cousin Vinny about rebuilding a carburetor immediately comes to mind. Ultimately, you're no more an owner of the book than the average nobody on the street who has never heard of RallyRd. Plain and simple, its a play for profit. And there's nothing wrong with. No reason to pretend otherwise.
  14. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  15. An investment in an Offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the Company or directly in any Underlying Asset.
  16. Uncanny 214 has sold by PM. Vengeance of Bane II is the last one left...now $140 shipped
