I don't believe Mark is signing anymore, this book has taken off lately. 

$500

Thats about half price of what is listed on ebay.

As the title states, i'm getting out of comic book collecting.

not to get too long winded about it I no longer like what i'm seeing from this industry. 

The convention scene back room handshakes, to exorbitant amounts being charged to "Fans" from writers, artists and facilitators for simple autographs down to the insane amount of reboots, price hikes and nickle and diming, it's just not something I can continue to drop thousands of dollars on no care to.

With that being said i'm going to slowly upload whats left of my entire CGC personal collection on here for sale. 

Iv'e dealt and become friends with many of you over the years so I know these books will be going to good homes and to people who will really enjoy them.

Thanks to everyone here I have dealt with over the past few years, you are all really great guys and gals!

I'm going to be pricing most of these very low, so please do not pm me with your best offer, I feel these prices are already insanely fair!!

I will be adding more books slowly throughout the next day or two so please check back!

The rules are as per usual:

1) Prices are in US funds

2) payment via PAYPAL ONLY

3) Shipping will be 25$ Flat to the USA and 20$ To canada Sorry no international.

4) Payments to be made within 24 hours of claiming a book.

5) No bad listers, or people Ive had issues with.

6) I ship canada post express/usps priority only.

7) No returns! you know what you're buying!

8) Due to work i can ONLY SHIP ON MONDAYS! If that's a problem, i'm sorry.

Thanks again to everyone! Please enjoy these steals of deals!

It's no different for Asian, European, Australian or South American collectors.

They just suck it up and have come to learn to accept the cost of shipping.

I find Canadians complain a lot about it (that and the exchange, I am Canadian BTW) but in reality it's not going to change so you just have to factor it in.

What is to Factor in?

So an american seller here is selling a book for $300. The gpa on the books is around 400$. Great deal right?  so my 300 after exchange turns into 375$ (Canadian) and then i'm told to add $50 us for shipping so my 375 canadian is now 437.50$ add a customs fee of 10$ and tax on that and im now at just under 500$ canadian. 

there is no justifiable way to make this make any financial sense. and thats all saying the us seller is actually selling a book for UNDER Gpa. most of the time it's sold at gpa which just after factoring these costs make it completly nonsensicle for me to even consider purchasing it. 

So there you go. Unless i MUST HAVE this book, I just dont buy from the us.

So if I do inqure about a book one of you may be selling DONT BE OFFENDED if I ask for some help on the shipping! You now know why!

Thats all completely off topic though.

Save your beans, use gotham central or just sub the books yourself with the correct paper work and customs forms and your life will be much easier.

Much like the Canadian exchange, Canadians just need to start factoring in shipping costs into their costs. It's just the simple cost of doing business.

Either that or buy all your books already CGC graded in Canada.

I have. Any my buying has plummeted in the past year or so. I'll always look for a canadian seller before an american. 

I can't understate how many canadian comic book collectors there are here as well, I talk to many dealers, and collectors at the canadian comic cons each year and they share the same sediment. 

Strictly because of shipping (Not the exchange) their buying from the states is way down.

I try not to buy even on these boards from sellers who will not at least eat some cost of the shipping.  It's financially stupid any other way.

A simple train ride over to mississauga would have solved all your problems ages ago. Gotham Central.

That being said, why not just sign up for a paid cgc account and ship the books yourself. Stop in at a local customs office and pick up a form (the name eludes me right now) But its meant for shipping goods to and from the US for evaluation purposes. 

I used to use my LCS all the time for getting books slabbed, then I stopped being lazy and just started subbing myself.

I don't get tagged with customs fees ever. I chose to grading service and shipping of my choice. I have my own invoice numbers I can track and recieve graders notes and most importantly I can deal with CGC myself.

The only drawback is obviously return shipping to canada. It's a damn stick up the prices usps, fedex and ups want to ship to canada these days. 

i can ship a book priority to arizona for $28 canadian. The return shipping to me from arizona via the same shipping method is around 50$ now, and thats US funds. 

i often feel like i'm getting mugged when I have to pay return shipping.

Bummer!

Ah well. I'm hoping to go to this one in person next year. 

I have 3 books to be signed, multiple signatures on both.

Book 1- Sean Michaels, Adam "Edge" Copeland, Steve Austin, Goldberg

Book 2- Trish Stratus, Amy "Lita" Dumas

Book 3- Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks 

Let me know if this is happening, a ballpark price and when you need books in hand! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Books arrived safe and sound in perfect condition.

Great seller highly recommended buy with confidence. Thanks

A big thank you to TheRealVenom for this Adam Hughes Sketch cover.  I know that I saw this one on Adam's table at Fan Expo Toronto last year and am proud to add this to my sketch cover collection.

Glad you like it!

I dug up this little gem for you now that you own this book. It's a pic of Adam sketching this beauty. Enjoy!
