9.6, very nice!

People do a lot of complaining about Comic Link’s website and have for years.  It must affect them more than it affects Comic Link, and their regular clients as it isn’t updated.
 
Personally,  I’m glad they don’t change it.  I know how to use it, and the lack of “surprises” is refreshing.  Trying to figure out any “latest and greatest” features would be a turnoff for me.  At the start of an auction, I put in tracking bids on what I’m interested in.  I schedule the end of the auction in my phone.  I get a reminder 24 hours ahead of the auction close date on my phone.  It is a simple and effective way for me to participate as a bidder there.

You post like you have an inside track on people not consigning with Comic Link.  What is the annual figure of lost sales, lost lots, and lost consigners that you have access to the data on?  Also, how is the “watch list” feature any different from placing tracking bids on items at Comic Link or HA.com?  I do it at both.  I can access both at any time during the auction in my account on both sites. Generally, the items I put a tracking bid on are the only items I’m interested in adding to my collection, so I don’t believe I’m missing out on anything at either site.  Apparently, your mileage is different.

No c&p yet. Going to be sent in for the Tom Orzechowski, Glynis Wein, and Claremont signing I think. 
 

One slight color breaking spine ticks near the S.  
Thank you for your time and feedback in advance.
 

Cleaned and pressed, so as good as it will get. 
Thanks!
Note: The full front pic makes the top left look wavy and have some marks that aren't there. Must be camera and lighting. The close-ups of that area are more true.

Several color breaking stress lines along front spine a couple rather large ones .and some stress lines on the back spine also.......We have some creasing in the upper right area....a light crease under the purple beast....The back has creasing in the upper right area.....There is a lot going on here.
 P.S.   Thanks for all thoughts and grades.
