So if I ship it to the po box usps cgc still gets my comic? 

Yes

If you check events, it will show that CGC has no onsite grading scheduled.  So, I think they will just grade the cards.  

About 12 years or so ago, I submitted the Detroit Trolley copy of Action #28.  I put it in a tier based on a 5.5 grade.  CGC called me up and said it graded a 7.0 and asked for more money.  I gladly paid their ask over the phone.

4 threads in 3 sections seems a bit much for this same topic.  

5.5 with an outside chance at a 6.0

I should have been more clear. Looking for graded cards. Thanks for the help though

  I should have checked the name of the forum.

So this Ian guy had a stroke? He alienated Zurzorlo? What became of his collection? Is it buried on Oak Island or something. What a great name for a pedigree that would be. I want a "Wheels Are In Motion" t-shirt.

Facebook, Twitter, and the entire internet is buzzing about me selling my DC Comics Collection. But they all got it wrong. In 2008 I sold them to my dear friend, John Barton, for a tiny fraction of their value with the intention of being allowed to keep them in my house until I died. But when DC ended all their runs and reverted to restarting at number one for them all, I was so sickened that I gave him permission to sell them. They were all taken away around 2015 and every comic was examined and graded by Paul Sassiene, comic expert, for Sotherbys. I rather resent everybody assuming I'm the one who's selling them, having given up the ownership twelve years ago. Sotherby's have had them for five years now so I'm bemused that the story has suddenly become public. Fifty years hard, devoted, dedicated work, and all I ever got back was a mere fraction of what I paid for them, yet they will always be known as The Ian Levine Collection.

That’s a 76 page rabbit hole that I may go down but only if they answered my question. Who’s checking?

I'm not sure.  Maybe the answer is in one of these two threads.

I think those that are convinced that these prices are the new normal & will continue to rise forever....are in for a rude awakening in the not-so-distant future.   It’s like being on a hot streak at the casino, and thinking that you will continue winning as long as you keep playing. 

+1  Watching books regularly climb 20% to 100%  every  few weeks  is surely very bad.  it will drive people away from the hobby and prevent others from joining it.   I know I will not be purchasing any books in this "new" market.   I wonder who will be buying them in the future when people that purchase them now are ready to sell?  Does everyone's income climb 20% to 100% every few weeks?  A much slower, steady climb in prices is good.  Where things are right now isn't.

As long as we are complaining...

How about locking this thread?

 

There's nothing for sale, but it keeps getting bumped and has been on the first page for several days now. I have nothing against joking around, but a dead thread in the sales forum isn't the place. The real estate should be reserved for those running sales.

Done!

Complaint: Completed sales threads being bumped by buyers announcing they received their purchases. 

Solution: Bring back the SOLD function. 

It's been brought up to admins a few times.  I will mention it again.  

CGC won't put a poly bag inside a slab.

To be fair a cgc rust designation can vary. ive seen books with just a slight staple corrosion receiving a rusted staple notation by cgc. Heck i have owned books with slight corrosion for more than 15 years. And there is no deterioration of any kind nor any migration to paper. Just sayin.

When the book was in the old holder with the rusty staples notation, I believe you could see the staples in a scan of the front cover.  I think they were rusted pretty bad.  I wonder if the book was pressed to place the staples in the center of the spine, where they would be more difficult to see.  Does anyone have a scan of the book in the old holder?

I believe Steve Borock said it was unrestored.  

Did he also confirm it’s NM?

After examining it, he thought it was NM

Has it been confirmed that the Church copy is unrestored?

I believe Steve Borock said it was unrestored.

I’m thinking a NM copy is sitting inside an encyclopedia somewhere owned by Dave Anderson.

Fixed that for you.
