  1. The ink rub should not be the concern, especially a small one like that. The Mylar inner well that is slowly almost guaranteed to create waves in the book at some point in the future should really keep you up at night. Many months ago when the new case released the inner well that holds the book in place was made up of two pieces of Mylar. The Mylar sandwiched the book in place creating a floating effect. Unfortunately this had some negative side effects that CGC addressed and has since been replaced by the classic tried and tested inner well. Not sure where on the forum you would be able to look this up because most of the threads and posts related to this issue where erased from existence. I would look up CGC creep engine or newton rings CGC case and see for yourself. I am not sure if CGC will reholder the book at no charge but that is something they were doing when the old inner well was brought back. I would call and find out because the inner well your book is in has been known to cause damage. Best of luck and for future reference when buying books with the new holder design, try to make sure it has the old inner well Examples of old inner wells in new CGC holders. Left one is the casket design and the right is envelope design. (These are not official terms) You can see around the left edge of the book that it is like a casket, used on thicker books. There is also another kind of inner well that does not have the casket corner and is more like an envelope, a design better suited for thinner books. It can be identified by the white line that goes around the book, as seen in the right image. Hope this description helps.
  2. On over 80k yeah. I never understood why someone wouldn't just go in person when that much money is on the line. I get that its an inconvenience but hell, taking a day or two and paying for a flight out to Sarasota sounds like a much better idea then waiting for a package to show up, or not in this situation. This is my worst nightmare come true
  3. Great looking copy. Alot of the time this book tends to have tanning on the cover but the copy you snagged looks beautiful.
  4. Great books Tales to Astonish 22 has always been one of my all time favorite covers.
  5. Bought a New Teen Titans 2, transaction went great and was well packaged. Thank you and hope to do business again soon.
  6. He was such a great guy. He had a great sense of humor as well. loved hearing his voice on family guy. His bits where amazing.
  7. Nice The books you been posting seem to be in high grade. On average what ballpark grades are most of the books in?
  8. Or do stuff like this. I know its not focused on every single book but it saves time and doesn't take up a lot of space.
  9. Beautiful copy, presents much better then 6.0. Plus cant go wrong with white pages
  10. I just love how the seller is ok with it.
  11. It's been over 24 hours. Its official, she's the kingpin!!
  12. Beautiful Stuff So far. I can't even imagine going threw 40k books. When I buy 50-100 in one shot I freak out.
  13. Are you referring to the asian lady? I constantly see listings of slabbed gold and silver keys being presented by an asian woman holding them up. Anyone know the story behind that?
  14. Funny thing is its still up. At this point Im assuming thats the item you will receive
  15. Still obscure just slowly becoming popular because of the tv show.
  16. Nice Book! As far as value wise its tuff to say.
  17. Interesting Item. If any one has any other funny eBay listings please share them here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-50-CBCS-5-5-WHITE-PAGES-1ST-KINGPIN-/322552690191?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276
  18. Love heritage and their selection, the only problem is sometimes on certain books the scans can be extremely bright. It makes it hard to see certain flaws like dirt, staining and creases.
  19. Your scanner is amazing. Also, nice books
  20. Besides Comic Connect, Heritage Auctions and My Comic Shop what other websites have a large amount of quality Scans? Looking for raw and graded with front and back cover. I am looking for actual comics in different grades, not scans to read. My interest is to evaluate books for grading purposes.
  21. Walking dead 92, bought 10 copies. I only have 2 left now Probably one of my favorite issues in the series.
  22. I usually bid as soon as the timer hits 2 seconds. Never had a problem with a bid not going through. I have however seen bids go through when the timer hits 0 seconds. I have tried to see how close I can make it but never been able to millisecond bid.
  23. The problem with that is people will start getting frustrated when they bid and it constantly keeps telling them they are out bid. Bidding at the last few seconds reduce this situation, to some degree. I have seen countless auctions where some one bids there max bid day one or two days into the auction and some guy tries to out bid the high bidder. This sometimes results in auctions going over FMV out of frustration.
