  1. Try the 7/11. You know, where your PO box is. What does the tracking say? FU KFP 561 7166 GL
  2. I can't imagine anyone being more of a supreme knucklehead on so many levels. Not Canucklehead....knucklehead. He qualifies for both
  3. Completed a transaction with Wendell. Everything very smooth including communication and prompt payment. Would not hesitate to deal with again. Thanks!!
  4. Barton, Far better copy than Greggy's drek
  5. Brad, I think you should quote all Greggy's books again, just for fun
  6. Greggy, I don't see a "Beware the Creeper #1" in that list of books
  7. My UXM 216 is signed by him on 4/17/10 but I can't remember which show that was. And he was at Heroes in June '11 (I remember seeing him there) which matches up with Magnus' book. Nice Flash #1 btw!
  8. Why can't someone get Jackson Guice to come to a show??? He's been to a couple of shows that I've attended.
  9. Perhaps you became a better grader or learned to grade differently in those 13 years so as to align with CGC and make your customers happier (never over-grading)? Subconsciously or otherwise... That was my thought as well (minus the align with CGC part). Nick's raw books have always been tighter than CGC for as long as I can remember. The most noteworthy example of that was when Nick sold the Mildenhall collection and his raw 8.5's were coming back as slabbed 9.2/9.4's When was that? Circa 2006/2007? Not all of the raw books were coming back higher Roy. I bought several of the Mildenhall books and subbed a number of them a few years later. There was at least one (if not more iirc) that came back lower than what Nick graded them at. Not significantly lower mind you (9.0 instead of a 9.2 for example) and I just chalked it up to slightly different grading. I think I must have been the only one to receive lower grades. Just my luck
  10. I've been Drew's CAW at NYCC the last two years, dork. And a mighty fine one I would add
  11. I think the spirit of the boards is to ensure that both parties are happy, not simply to lock one or both parties into a transaction. If I'm wrong please let me know. Because that is the spirit of the way I do business and I just need to know if I have to cover my with each and every one of you boardies who might use a turn of a phrase against me (which would be very ironic, all things considered). Richard, You are wrong. Oh, and
  12. Dan, I find your answers very honest,you admitted that Bob's offer was a better deal than what you asked for originally and you admitted selling before you had the book back so you could maximize your profit. I applaud you for that. However you must see that your actions also have consequences. You sold a book before you had it in hand, and before you had the graders notes. You made a statement about a "stain" that turned out to be in error. So, I think there are errors on both sides. Bob's error was making an offer of a trade to begin with. This is why I don't love trades, i'd always have traders regret. However, I can absolutely see where his offer of cash should have solved the problem, he was offering full asking price. You on the other hand saw a better deal and you wanted that. The fact that you later would have accepted the full price (after getting the book back) just further muddies the waters. The end part, the part with the stain, well that's more on you. I would really love to see you both just walk away and call it a day. I don't see any other reasonable solution here. Sharon, I agree with the majority of what you wrote save for what I bolded above. I think it should be clarified that Dan HAD a better deal already agreed to (the cash/trade) and he wanted that adhered to. That's what she said. Re-read it. Wait. I re-read it. She was correct but not about the timeline. my bad. A bit confused by your edit Perhaps I am splitting hairs here but I'm not sure I agree with the "offer of 16k cash should have solved the problem". By doing so it would have been accepting a less favourable deal than was originally agreed to by both parties. As I understand it, Dan wanted the original cash/trade deal adhered to and I find absolutely no fault in that. Could he have accepted the entire cash deal? Sure, but that is his prerogative as the seller, especially since a deal had already been finalized.

  14. That's a tough one in grade for some reason. Congrats Joe (thumbs u
  15. Recently bought from John. Seamless transaction from start to finish. Was able to pick up the book in person at the NYCC to save on shipping. Nary a problem, nice guy as well (thumbs u Drew
  16. Extremely sorry to hear this Casey. I know you are making the right decision but I understand how difficult it will be to see these books go. Picked a perfect venue with ComicLink and considering recent prices, these books should demonstate very strong results, especially that #1 I'll definitely be watching and bidding (thumbs u Drew
