It's not a nice oak frame, but I've always figured I would buy this if there ever came a time where I wanted to hang some slabs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYOHHQ6/?coliid=I1A9USF63OKHL7&colid=3C7SDZMZSH3ZA&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Usually you want to determine value BEFORE placing a bid.

Whatever the standard cover is.

Are we going to ignore the fact that this guy, named Nick, came in and said "Hello everyone"? Talk about a missed opportunity. Hi Dr. Nick!

Damn, a first print TMNT #1. That's worth a lot. Congrats.

I wouldn't have even entertained the $100 refund. How do I know you haven't been storing the book in a humid environment under direct sunlight this entire time? Had the buyer requested a refund upon receipt, then sure, different question. But if they've had the time to send the book in and have it professionally graded, the window for refunds has closed. Like others have said, the buyer should try doing that with eBay and see what kind of response they get.

I don't expect you'll get a response until August 21st, 2022.

There's always Arena. It's F2P.

Rage Attack, 1d6+1. Can you roll THAC0 to see if your hit lands?

Rhythm?

Hickman because he's literally the last signature I'm seeking.

They do press foil covers. I've had a foil book pressed before. Though, I'm confused what a metal cover is.

Sounds like their sub service is sub-par. Personally, I haven't shopped at Midtown since the way they handled their Action Comics #1000 exclusive. I know they don't miss me, but whatever. They have a large selection if you're trying to fill holes in your run, other than that, it feels like they've let their size get to them.

If you believe a business is failing its duties and that a better service can be provided, there is certainly a market space for it. Round up some funding and open a competing entity to take business share away from CGC. It worked for Hakkasan Group in Las Vegas after all (can't find the article, but basically ultra wealthy guy got upset because he didn't get the table he wanted at another nightclub and basically said he was going to make a bigger and better club. Now most of the major clubs on the Strip are owned by his investment group).

The line between 9.6 and 9.8 is so fine at this point, I might as well just buy up 9.6 versions of keys at a discount and re-submit them when grading is less strict. I still don't even know what qualifies books for a 10. For example, those thick DC Black Label books that are square bound. Most of the damage occurs to the binding, but assuming I have sharp corners, I don't even know where they're finding enough to deduct points. Not only that, but how do they look at the inside without damaging the book. Surely that would introduce a crease.

Spending all this money on comics and y'all can't even afford one of these to get the air out of your bags. Or up your investment potential by getting a vacuum sealer. But for'reals, when it comes to standard bags/boards, I stack my books on top of each other to push the air out. For mylar, when you put it in a box, the pressure from the surrounding books should be enough.

The 9.6 will cost about $30-40 all together to slab so I imagine your profit on those would be very small. On top of that, the likelihood of there being books less than 9.6 is very high. It's entirely possible there are as many 9.4s (if not more) as there are 9.8s. Given such a scenario, you would end up taking a loss on those books and they would offset any potential gains from sales of 9.8s.

Schrodinger's comic postulates that a sealed and unseen comic book is in a state of quantum superposition such that it is both a 10 and 0.5 at the same time.

Been a while since I've subbed books, but if I recall, submissions of the same type are lumped together. So all Modern subs would be sent back in a FedEx shipment. All Value subs in another. Basically, different services, different shipping. Kind of annoyed me that they couldn't help save me money and lump my shipments into one thing.
