OK, generally speaking, never had this problem on the boards before, but I have a customer who made a 1550.00 offer on 2 books, I agreed to the price, he told me that international money transfer through paypal takes a little while, then finally today tells me he doesn't have enough funds to purchase the 2 books and that he will pass.

 

What do I need to do to submit a name for probation on the forum and should I put this guy on the probation list? I hate to do it personally, as I guess he

probably legitimately doesn't have enough money, but he didn't even offer to just pick up one of the books, he just said he will pass on both.

 

how much time passed between the deal being struck and being told he would take a pass? based on "finally"- sounds like a while. if that's the case, i'd out him. if it was a week or so, personally, i'd grind my teeth and hold my tongue.

Junk I'll be receiving soon

Who graded it raw as a VF/NM

cgc should hire the guy

nice- and only a couple of nik bumps in the bunch

 

Wait till you see my next batch of 30 that are coming back

 

The Nik bump is so past tense, we need a new phrase once these come back

bump

2 a: a sudden forceful blow, impact, or jolt b: demotion

de·mote

1 : to reduce to a lower grade or rank

Not only is it past tense, according to webster's it wasn't even correct

Let's try this again. Here's a much sharper scan. First appearance of Hawkman; Joe Kubert cover and art.

 

I know this isn't a grading forum, but what grade do you think CGC would give this book based on the front cover alone. Eighth of an inch spine split in upper left of spine. Thanks All!

5.5

Incredible book ... where are you getting these gems?

 

oh, snap- i just noticed they forgot to include that it's the Mass copy on the label- so to answer your question: "marnin."

 

I bet they didn't give it the designation because of this:

 

 

 

Why would that stop it?

 

because i don't believe there were multiple copies of the Mass books. i think bob is correct and i was mistaken.

 

Thought so. These are not the same book.

no, they are most definitely not the same book.

the first ever 9.6 #37 on the slabbing table-

 

Wow! Congratulations. Imagine the crazy bidding a single highest graded copy like that might inspire at an auction!

from your lips to at least two bidders ears

the first ever 9.6 #37 on the slabbing table-

And thank you for waiting to slab the #35 until AFTER I sold my then-sole highest copy.

when i was putting it away i thought the same thing to myself

a couple just back from Sarasota. Thank you Michael Goldman

Stop being such a cheapskate!

 

bid 5x less shipping. the last copy sold for $1550 - didn't realize there were more than 2 GL collectors. looks like i was actually right about that.

Well, the big dog GL collector already bought my copy of #11, so he was out of the competition.

and lanier snagged the one on ebay (i'm pretty sure). that should've left - uh, no one.

it seems like maybe there's a Juststopit.DoyouWANTastrike?-up in the JLA pricing as in the top 20 silver age it shows #1 going from $10k to $12k (pg 156) yet in the complete pricing list for the title is shows #1 at $10k (pg 682).

What about The B & B 28,29 and 30?

the #28 was cut in half in top grade

- wanted to see if i could get the blood racing in HK
