Pretty sure crime machine isn't 40% off yet?

If you are shipping expensive stuff use post office Registered mail, only downside is you can't print postage online it has to be taken into the local store. Also that "declared value" from fedex and ups is not insurance and they will not cover anything, only tell you to buy third party insurance.

Haha I think most people are smart enough to factor in BP, so in your example instead of being scaped $9k they think of it as well "I'm not going to pay that $9k BP but I will pay $55k for this book, so I'm going to bid $46k." If there wasn't a BP then I think hammer price would just be driven to $55k instead. Whatever reason they have for doing this besides collecting more fees or whatever, perhaps there's some tax loophole or back-end accounting where they can mess around with this buyer's premium number to make the books look nicer.

So what did they improve? Bottom front corners look blunted...actually they look nicer in your 9.6 picture than the 9.8 one on comiclink.

That ASM 50 was $46k hammer and 55k AFTER buyers premium. Boggles my mind prices are 7x higher from 9.4 to 9.8. There's only 7 9.8's on the census and then 14 9.6's and 53 9.4's. Is a 700% difference really justified to be in the top 0.2%tile instead of the top 2.1%tile? The people who buy these are a bit like the people who buy the 2 million dollar special edition Ferrari's instead of buying themselves 10 different Ferrari's for 200k each. It just becomes a "look at me I have the best one ever made" contest... at least with Ferrari's you know how many they made... and there aren't a pile of 9.8's waiting to be graded in someone's closet.

depends if we get to play the wishes game.

First time I lost a book in the thread Didn't really want it

Any Vampirella experts here happen to know why Overstreet says issue #36 is noted as "1st vampi as cleopatra/blood red queen of hearts" and #38 "2nd vampi as cleopatra/blood red queen of hearts". I read both those and only saw vampirella as Cleopatra in the stories, no mention of blood red queen of hearts. #49 appears to be the fist actual time she's shown at least in name. Perhaps she time travels through other characters or something else that I'm missing.

you forgot price

I like them so high grade they are never available.

Haha fair enough.

You know the third copy is still there right?

I think it still needs to be AFTER the book is posted.

nevermind

I'm not sold on "Big Safe Co" I'm not going to call anyone out, just going to show you a few videos from what I found when researching. If I were going to get one I'd probably go with Sturdy Safe you can get all kinds of custom configs, including with no fire-proofing. besides the pry test there's plenty of other issues with the cheaper internals if you go further down the rabbit hole.

I thought it would be fun to follow up on this for anyone that is paying attention. It took a while to hit the 2900 level I called for previously, the "easy money" direction guessing game is gone for now. I personally don't have a formed opinion yet on if it goes higher, lower, or sideways for a while. On the daily chart the 50MA that was previously 2909 in the my first post is now down to 2721. Weekly 200MA is 2667. We might see a move back to either number in the short term. It rejected going higher past the 2950-ish already.

Those of you have been around probably realized this already but I just noticed this earlier.

Was going to ask this question but you've answered it 3 years in advance. I talked to a customer service rep at FedEx today who made the very clear distinction "declared value IS NOT insurance and we are not in the business of insurance", you'll need to pay a third party for coverage. Despite that, changing the declared value will still double or triple the price of the package from them + add 3rd party insurance, and your $10 ground package can be as high as $100 now. Which in most cases puts it higher than registered mail anyway. I was curious to ask what everyone is using to ship to CGC directly but I think I have my answer already.

Take the premiere #3 & #10 per group buy PM.
