Fresh new slabs just arrived today from Sarasota. Price includes shipping and insurance in the United States. Canada and overseas shipped at cost. Paypal for near immediate shipping but will accept other methods of payment. Returns within 14 days for broken slabs - I didn't grade these, our friends in Florida did. First in the thread gets the book.

Anything that reduces the amount of buyers that make offers and disappear is good with me. Payment should be automatic and immediate when a deal closes, be it auction, BIN or Best Offer. 

Absolutely 100% agree with this.

I like to combine shipping so I still want that option.

Not sure if these fall in obvious or not, but the Book Market version of 546 with "Not For Resale" on the cover; the 1:10 variant of 546; 569 variants including the 2nd print; 570 2nd print; 572 2nd print; 611 2nd print (Skottie Young cover); 637 variants. There are a ton of ratio variants in the 600-700 issues especially.

If you come across this variant of 667, it's completely worthless - don't bother looking it up, just send it to me, thanks:

The 569, 570, 572, and 637 variants are there. There's a bunch more variants in the box. Are the Obama 583s still anything? There's a fourth and fifth printing variant.

No, the Dell'otto isn't there.

I sold another tonight. The book has legs I upped the prices on my last copies. I cant keep one for more then a few days. Funny at my last show last month at its hottest nobody asked about it on my rack when I had it at $20 now they are selling for $35. 

 

Just bought a collection with a huge run of Amazing Spider-Man in it from about 525-900+. Besides the obvious ones, anything I should be looking for?

The Donkey Show in Tijuana is not the place to go if you're inclined to defend a lady's honor.  It's got nothing in common with the trained animal shows at Seaworld or Universal Studios.   

NOW you tell me.

Screw you for selling comics at a profit that I sold to you at a profit! Only certain people in the product foodchain are allowed to make money. Rules are rules.

This is the truth.

FedEx over UPS? - and thanks

Neither. USPS registered mail.

Do NOT do UPS. Especially right now. 

THIS. UPS is almost certainly going on strike on July 31, and - if it happens - the strike will be long and acrimonious. Your package will - best case scenario - just sit until the strike is over.

Again, not the point.

I think it is. If you have the time and can swing it, I'd fly there, not ship it. If you don't, registered mail is the way to go.

OK, now that you’ve tried to impress everyone by waving your wang at yet another thread, let’s get back to giving the OP real advice.

For example - @JBell60, registered is also significantly cheaper than Express.  As long as you’re not in a time crunch on getting the books turned around from CGC, registered should be your best bet.

I actually kind of agree with Shad. If you have the time and can swing it, if its cheaper to fly to Tampa and rent a car to drive to Sarasota from where you are, do that. The books will never leave your hands and you'll be more secure. Plus you can see southwest Florida in the summer, which is always a thrill.

Something zesty for this thread. Will be auctioned on Heritage at sometime this fall.
