  1. #61, which has a key first app., might be worth $40 and up in nice shape. This guy was a jerk.
  2. ^ Not a fan that Dr Who became Dr Soap. But I watch the new series on its own (frenetic) merits. Like you said in #2, Martha was too mopey about Doctor being stuck on Rose. And like you said in #3, Donna was great (although in part it might have been that I was relieved about a companion not in love/wanting to "dance" with doc for a change). #4 Curse of Fenric was probably McCoy's best imo, too. Great memorabilia in this thread the past few days !
  3. I guess the advice ranges between advertise on craigslist (local, let buyer do work), ebay (load of work to sell and weak return on the hours to list it, box it and ship it) and contact with a local outlet like collectibles/toys seller (check the places he bought most of it from if there's such a place).
  4. Here's a list of someone's idea of top 100 US COMIC BOOK ARTISTS though it misses a few notables that I considered top-100 worthy, like Starlin (probably his writing overshadows artwork) and Brunner (didn't do much). This listing has advantage of no ads and quick links with no frills. Anyone know who contributes to the Wizard lists? Readers, editors, one guy?
  5. Thanks, Harv!, found an earlier reply of yours with link !!
  6. I have an opinion, but no personal experience with the offender, and a relative noob. Didn't think vote from such as me made sense. Though it struck me twice over the summer, first the outpouring of generosity for Chip, then the reveal of some add'l backstory and facts. Later, after I reconsidered and decided to vote, couldn't find the poll. But agreed CG would attract more eyes.
  7. Because sellers cannot post negative for buyer feedback. So they occasionally use positive and explain the negative in the text, I think it's mostly to vent, since as you said, not all the buyers will read feedback.
  8. It's kind of BS because at the present moment there is a thread started back on Jan 2nd with several pages of CGC books, with no return policy or even payment method. Basically the only "rule" provided is postage costs, so possibly other rules were missed. And I often see similar type violations survive. I also routinely see thread with 'afternoon bump' and then 'evening bump' both within the same 12 hours although the actual 'bump' rule is less tolerant, as I recall. Is the contradiction just because some get reported while others don't?
  9. ^ And the guy has active listings with 3 other comics w/fake Stan Lee sigs. I think I could forge a better fake sig with my left foot, if I practiced. The fakes don't look anything like the Stan Lee signature except they seem to have most of the right letters.
  10. NewEnglandGothic, I too am a big fan of the Hinchcliffe & Holmes era, and upthread even listed Talons of Weng Chiang as my favorite, probably, though it's changed from time to time.
  11. Done a fair amount of selling on ebay. Always use better than avg pics/scans. Used to consistently provide specific grade or range. I've only been on the boards less than a year but I've read this same basic thread a few times now, and it sunk in. It seems 'best practices' might include a specific grade, but common practice is just as often to cop out and skip the specifics. Seeing lots of sellers do quite well without the specifics, I've gotten a bit lazier, and last round of about 80 auctions used generic "low end GD" or "top end of the FN range." In retrospect, the biggest book I sold was the only return I got. A Strange Tales 110 that I specifically described twice as "high end GD" was returned because the buyer and his local comic store agreed it was not a VG or VG-. In my mind I said wtf? but I refunded quickly without event, I didn't want the 880 that badly and the board later agreed in PGM it was 2.5 range, so live and learn. If I had do over would probably say "2.5" but who can say whether the time-wasting gambler in question would've done same thing anyway? [yes, my first reply to him was "yes, I know it's not a low VG that's why I only called it a really nice GD" but I cooled down quickly since my policy is no questions asked anyway. So now I'm back to two copies and waiting for the next time there's a new Dr S. movie out.]
  12. Got a batch of comics super fast and very securely packaged. Re: condition: the comics (several Peanuts and Tip Tops) were all at least as nice as described. Thank you!
  13. The last two members included the best two ideas I'd have for selling after trying a few different ways, though I haven't listed much here. Spreadsheets and imgur (and liberal use of cut/paste). Good luck !
  14. Sweet book, squad, I agree with your grade. I like when the perforations pop (a previously unopened book) and never saw them as a "defect" or even worth mentioning except when selling a comic I knew I'd never opened. Am I wrong about the perforation holes at bottom?
  15. Good point, I assumed the surface wear/scuffing might be scanner trick but forgot to check. Agreed it knocks it down one or two grades to 9.0 plus/minus range. Foley- glad to hear it, safe travels home.
  16. That's a sweet looking copy, Foley. I see a 9.4, minus maybe a bit, bud. Unseasonably warm here in So. TX so far, eh? Must be cold for the folks back home . . .
