Actually I didn't even notice that. I'm disqualified, it's yours.

You really need to start warning me when the B copy has nicer colors. I was first @allthingskryptonite but you're welcome to have that book if you really want it. Up to Steve. Edit: he already said we could trade amongst ourselves so go ahead and give one to the new guy :P

Can we swap the colors from the 5.5 onto my copy

Take it #12

Are those scratches on the glass I didn't see them in any of your other pictures.

A month seems like a long time. I had one I gave to USPS on 4/25 it didn't say in transit to facility until 4/29, then didn't arrive at a distribution center until 5/4. This was 2-day priority. All the stuff I shipped at the beginning of April, roughly 30 packages, were all delivered in less than a week. The slowdown really started towards the end of April it seems. At least in the midwest here.

People tend to use google to find thread titles and forget to look at the date.. I'm guessing.

I think premiere 7 & 10 scans are missing

You tell us, you're the lawyer. I don't think anyone is going to invest in litigating this matter when lawyer expenses are likely to exceed any money lost, and any would be scammer is counting on it. The only saving grace here is the paypal/ebay policies. As collectors most of us have taken the default view that buyer beware when it comes to raw books and that you're not guaranteed a raw grade to translate into a CGC slab grade, when CGC can't even guarantee their own grades. Despite that Paypal/Ebay/Big Credit Card Co seem to have taken the opposite approach which is seller is always wrong, customer is always right. This is great in situations when you are a buyer dealing with dishonest sellers, but it also sets a precedent where sellers can be held hostage for six months while allowing the buyer to resell the purchased book at a profit and if they fail, return the book any time in that 6 month window. I do find it interesting that you seem more concerned about the liability for misrepresenting the history of the book rather than misrepresenting the grade. To a collector both are equally monetarily damaging and reason to revoke a transaction. For many buyers the only concern is getting that blue label CGC slab with the advertised grade. The real mystery here to me is what standard is ebay/paypal/Credit card co. holding the seller to? When it comes to grading is the seller's raw grade being held to CGC's grading standard? Anything stated by a seller that isn't verified by CGC is now a fradulent statement? Doesn't seem to matter at this point if the buyer can just back out at any point. This is reason enough to keep HONEST sellers away from ebay. Perhaps the prices realized on these raw books are a direct reflection of how easily the seller/buyer situation can be manipulated to favor the buyer, and it becomes a no-risk situation for buyers.

That GSX#1 just sold for 9.4+ 9.6 money. I guess there's no shortage of crazy buying right now. Is that rust or paper tear on the rear bottom staple? With knowing how hard giant-sized books are to grade, who really takes a chance like that. You would basically have to press it and get a 9.6 back just to break even.

What do you mean hate? I still need a copy for my set but I won't be buying a raw one with the way CGC grades which was the point of my post.

I'm not so sure he will keep making money. We're assuming every listing he sells is going to sell at the "assigned" grade. Eventually he will run out of buyers and auctions will start selling for less than the graded slab price he paid for the book. He has another 30+ books ending soon so it will be interesting to see if these ALL hold high sale slab prices.

Paying graded prices for raw books, I can't think of a quicker way to only lose money and never win.

For people that can't print documents or whatever, there's a nice tool in windows called snipping tool that lets you take a screenshot of your screen and save it as a picture. Some people have said tracking information disappears off the USPS website for a few months, in fact USPS even started a service charging for access to old tracking numbers. So what you do is within a week or two of the item being delivered, pull up the tracking that shows delivered to their address, screenshot it and save it in a folder somewhere with the tracking number and maybe some buyers info. Now you don't have to pay USPS or explain why the tracking info has disappeared from the system since you have a copy.

That deadpool is funny but the reason I've still never bought a raw one is those modern giant size books always get torn on the corners and CGC is not exactly clear on what is 'manufacturing defect', I've seen plenty of hanging chad corner bindings in 9.8 slabs. Is there some other big defect on that book or is it just the binding corners?

Great buyer and really quick payment ! Thanks for the purchase.

Last I remember, ebay requires that you accept paypal as a payment option to sell there. If you don't I think just about anyone can report your listing and have it taken down. If you're getting buyers that pay you through check or money order consider yourself lucky I guess.

What grade of book is this thread comparing? Most expensive would be a slabbed 9.8 .. so for Steranko that's X-Men #49. Hulk Annual #1 less than half as much, but in 9.2 they have similar price.

Is this still an active sale? I thought they discontinued that sale a while ago.

Hah I had no idea about this.. looks like the evidence collectors took a few books for their own, too. https://www.equipmentworld.com/tadano-america-comic-book-embezzler-named-one-of-top-10-costliest-frauds/
