  1. I bought this Daredevil #3 off Ebay. The seller put the comic into a semi-rigid, open ended, comic book bag, and then put tape over the open end. As you can see, the comic slid up during shipping, came in contact with the tape, and tore off part of the top edge of the front cover.

    I think the comic was roughly 7.0 grade before the damage. How badly will the piece torn off of the top edge of the cover affect the grade? Needless to say, I'm very sad that this previously nice comic got ruined by a seller that doesn't know how to package comics. It was insured, so the insurance should cover the loss in value, but I'm still waiting for a final resolution.

  2. I understand leaving the negative feedback to start with. However, once the seller finally corrected his mistake, I think you should remove the negative feedback. Leaving a negative there permanently should only be done for a seller who refuses to ever fix the issue. No need to leave it there just out of spite, IMO.

  3. CGC just shipped 26 silver age comics back to me. They should arrive in the next few days. While I'm very tempted to look at the grades online, I am going to wait until the boxes get here so it can be like Christmas when they arrive. Hopefully it will be the good type of surprise and not the purple label type of surprise.

  4. PGM Avengers #43

    I need some help with grading this one. It looks very nice.

    - There are a few small color breaking creases below the 12 cents box, but I believe it was caused by the paper rollers during the production process.

    - Tiny crease on the bottom right corner, front cover.

    - Staples are clean.

    - Very glossy.

    - There is some tanning on the pages/covers.

    - Looks to be the start of some foxing along the top edge of the back cover.

    - Name stamp on the first page.

  5. I see coasttocoastcomics is already on the list. To add to the comments on this seller, the worst comic deal I ever made on Ebay was due to this seller. He was selling a Daredevil #2, claiming it was 9.0 grade, and that he was an "Overstreet Price Guide advisor", "CGC dealer" etc. trying to sound like he is a professional grader. When I got the comic, I could see a crease on the bottom right corner that wasn't really visible in the pictures, but I thought it might be able to get pressed out. Anyway, I sent the comic to CGC to get both pressed and graded and it came back 7.0 grade. I contacted coasttocoastcomics to let them know how severely overgraded this comic was and asked if he was willing to work with me on either a return or partial refund, since I basically overpaid for this comic by at least $200. His reply was, tough luck, not my problem.
