According to his standards, he can continue working on those books until they are perfect. He has determined he doesn't like trimmed corners, but perhaps if he trimmed them all around to the point where they are perfect rectangles, or possibly even perfect circles, it is his prerogative. I have never felt any ill intent in his post, and I'm willing to chalk up the JLA sale as a misunderstanding. The OP processes things differently than others and I don't think he understands why some of you are so angry about this. Frankly, neither do I. Keep in mind that we are talking about DC books

His books, his rulez. People mutilate their books, putting them in bound volumes. People cut out MVS. No one hs any obligation to live up to your expectations. If you don't like what he does with his books, don't buy or sell to him. I find the OP annoying as hell, but I'll defend his right to be annoying. If a man does not keep pace with his companion, perhaps its because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears,however measured or far away.

Some think trimming around the missing piece somehow makes the book a plod instead of just missing the chunk. Why not rip the book around the trimmed part and then let it organically fall off? It will look worse but perhaps it will pass their purity test. It's a 1.0-1.8 book. At that price, label colors aren't very important.

I've seen Free Comic Book Day comics with a store stamp graded with a green label. I'd expect this would, too, but they are so inconsistent that one never knows what might happen.

Why are you asking so many questions? I've bought thousands of items off eBay and asked questions on perhaps one percent of them. The seller had 33,000 transactions last year.

Quality Comics was responsible for exposing Jason Ewert for his micro-trimming and Doug Schmo for being a POS , before news of his disbarment for ripping off elderly clients. Of course, the hobby being what it is, the guy who messed with comics is long gone, while the scumbag who ripped off seniors is welcomed at forum dinners and basketball games.

You'd have to be more specfic. A catalog from a 1992 auction might be more desirable than one from 2008.

I don't believe any Image book would qualify as a pedigree. You have a low demand book that someone scribbled on the the back cover.

Diversity is advisable in investing. For many years, ASM #1 was considered a lesser key.

If you know the seller has some wiggle room, and you chose to pay full price, it doesn't show weakness, but it shows you aren't a savvy consumer. I rarely discount a single book, but three books can get you a sweet deal.

And anything after 1979 is Modern.

Overstreet????????? Didn't they devote an entire section to Platinum Age books while leaving AA as a sub-heading??

Not important??? To who? I've got half a box of books that spent their entire lives thinking they were golden, only for some bureaucrat to decide they were now atomic-aged. As if I don't have enough problems already. Does anyone know where I can get some Atomic Age bags and boards?

I'm not sure what that is, but nothing about it gives me any confidence that the signatures are real. The certificate says it is limited to 500 copies, not 500 signed copies. I hope it turns out well.
