Keep the thread civil or I will shut it down.

Apparently, you are not alone.

That was Metropolis 10 years ago, and my last purchase from them.

I have never had a problem. The secret to my success is, I have never purchased from ComicConnect.

Heritage has mastered that. The inks drips off from all their books. If only they looked that way after the buyer receives them.

Marnin's prices were high but, his grading was fair. I purchased an Action #28 Detroit Trolley from him as a fine minus. I sent it to CGC in the tier that I paid for the book. When it was graded CGC called me and said it graded a 7.0 and wanted more money.

Heritage scans have been drastically amped up these days. This is the same book, and both scans are from Heritage.

The Green Bean!

Too bad about the water stain. I'll give t a 5.5

I can appreciate where you're coming from; some books appear to be nicer than their assigned grade. But I'm sure there's a reason this book received a 7.0 instead of a higher grade. Yep, It's one thing for someone to post a front cover scan of a book that has a large chunk out of the cover and is graded a 9.0 You can see the grade and a defect. But, to post a 7.0 with a flawless front cover scan and no back cover scan, it doesn't mean the book is under graded. A back cover scan, and possibly a scan of the spine may be needed to show it is under graded. @thirdgreenham's last grading contest had a book that looked 9.0 from the front and back cover scan. It graded a 2.0 or less. The spine was completely split, and Andy didn't even notice when he sent it in.

My dog is filling out an application for the QC position.

Mine were in CGC boxes. The handles allowed me to carry 2 each trip. Without handles, I would not have been able to balance the 2 boxes so, I recommend those.

Is there anything you do with your collection differently now that this happened? No. It was just one of those unforeseen things in life.

Yeah, I made 2 trips back inside. It definitely wasn't safe.

I had a box of GA Actions packaged to send to CGC in December 2010 I figured I would wait until after Christmas to ship them and avoid possible damage during the holiday rush. 25 hours after Christmas, the house burned to the ground.

It's his book and he could do what he wants. Given that you nominated him for probation even though he did no wrong, and your posts in this thread, I would not sell to you at all if I was him.

That may have been the case before the software change. This is something else that could be brought up to admins, and see if there is a fix, requiring at least 1 post before being able to PM someone. .

I have banned several id's with the same MO ie "A friend has a book" Like skypinkblu said, it's in everyone's best interest to report the PM post.

I think it was partially because they were purchased in batches from the family, in combination with being dispersed into collections, some slabbed, and there was no notation on the label. By the time CGC became more lenient in naming pedigrees and adding to their list, I think they felt it was too hard to distinguish these books as Detroit Trolleys. At the time of release, I remember seeing numerous books that had a similar L that were not Trolley books. There was Marnin's list but, he wasn't on great terms with CGC at the time.

If you report his post in the PM, I can ban him.

It seems to be working fine for me. I clicked on explore the registry twice. I went to the registry that began with A and could view them with no problem.

Yes. Use the second, physical address for Fed Ex or UPS.

I think the Latest Ebay sale/auction ended at $8330.

No It can These days, it is more widely accepted
