Harley Quinn and Poison ivy 1 (cover A) artgerm variant s/s Artgerm - cardstock cover, Uber high grades are possible $135

Ten spots

  i'll take one rich thanks.

ive had that same thing to in a few of my slabs, as its normal to have on some. reason for it though, i have no idea. i'm interested as well as to what that can be as well.

cause slabs with white pages hold their value better.   and i'm sure its also nice to know that whatever you own is as nice as possible even if youre not gonna see inside it.

Essentially what the title says? Do ya'll think pressing the same book twice will do anything to improve grade or not?  I have an older CGC book I had for awhile. Not sure if it was ever pressed before when I bought it ages ago, but assuming it was, do you think If I were to have it pressed again, would it make a difference on improving the grade? Thanks for any input.

I have ordered from almost every major comic retailer in the last 15 years. The ones below make my list for the best. 
Not the cheapest, but the best in grading and packing.

Grahamcracker comics
Mycomicshop
DCBS

Ive ordered 1,000 of comics from those 3 with very little or no issues. 

There are others I could list too, but those 3 have never disappointed me and when I have had the slightest 
of problems they fix or address it fast.

 

thanks for your recommendations, as i've decided to go with mycomicshop as that seems to be the prevailing choice among the board members so far. thanks again.

thanks guys for all the responses and info. much much appreciated for your thoughts.

They were modern books but a couple that were graded Near Mint on their website wouldn't grade higher than 7.5 at CGC IMO. 

They had huge color breaking creases on the spine that were almost an inch in width. 

yikes! not good! we sure mycomicshop is still a good bet for me?

MCS as mentioned.

USPS is determined to damage packages I get from wwcomics, but their packaging has survived every time.

@blazingbob packages well. Highgradecomics.com

And lots of boardies here do.

i've not heard of highgrade, will check them out. thank you for your input as well.

I've found that Mycomicshop does a really nice job packing their books, both new ones and back issues.  DCBS also does a pretty nice job packing their comics and trades.

thank you so much for your input and response

Does anyone have suggestions or opinions on best online websites that sell comics but pack and ship them the best? Like which online retailer packs books the safest? Thanks.

Agree, Mycomishop is pretty good, no complains.

Also G-Mart.com ships and packages really well.

I've had nothing but awesome shipping and packing (and prices) from Mycomicshop

thank you for the input

IMO InStockTrades has the best prices and shipping.

I haven't purchased any single issues from them, though.

i'll take a look at them. i just hate it when you order a comic online as NM and they way they ship is so bad that it comes to you as not so. the best experience i've had as far as safe shipping packing is midtowncomics, but sometimes its not so.

I'll be very limited on this next one, and for the moment I'll only promise either blue label universal 9.8 or s/s Conner & Palmiotti. I don't have a bead for Antgerm yet, but I know I am getting 9.8 candidates on the book.

If I can get Art Germ, I will!

 

$145 s/s Conner & Palmiotti & Artgerm please

great podcast as usual!

You have to be kidding, that Elektra looks like The Joker in drag.

 

It's called "style"

 

Malvin

 

You can call it style, but if FM's name wasn't attached to that art you would think it was a joke. That right hand and joker chin/smile are inexcusable, even for a legend.

 

Sorry, just my honest opinion.

i'm with you. never been a fan of his art style. i understand the man is a legend and all , but to me his art is not aesthetically pleasing what so ever.

I commissioned a 20 page comic from him in June of 2013 and not seen one page yet! I gave him $5000 back then and then last year I gave him 2K more for him to finish more quickly and STILL nothing! He keeps giving me the runaround.

I don't know what to do. Any Advice?

wow. what were you thinking giving him more money after he didn't deliver the first time ? makes no sense to me.seems to me you keep digging yourself a bigger hole with him. first thing, stop giving him more money, secondly, threaten legal action if he doesn't deliver soon. for that type of money he should give you something by now.
