  1. Your debts get carried over in that after you die, your creditors have first call on your estate. That is not a myth. If you have an estate worth $200,000 and owe $100,000, you heirs will get$100,000. If your estate is worth $100,000 and you owe $200,000, your heirs get zero. They don't owe the difference but they will have gotten nothing. If you re legally married, your spouse is responsible for your debts. That's not a legacy I want to leave.
  2. The overspray is post-printing process and might hurt a little ,pricewise. Early 70s Marvels suffer from bad production. Yours is pretty typical.
  3. This is what I did with a bunch of books. I listed them well above GPA and they eventually sold. Don't have a fire sale.
  4. I hope you realize your debt doesn't die with you, but gets passed on to your estate and heirs.
  5. 1) You can always submit it back to CBCS and hope it comes back a 9.8. Sell it and recoup most of your money. 2) I'd mark all my CGC submissions with EX. What will they do when they open the box?
  6. There are two kinds of debt. Good debts and bad debts. Good debt is your house. Anything else is bad debt. If you have $10,000 or more in bad debt and are sitting on $50,000 worth of hobby material, you are walking the wrong road. Selling some of your stuff in order to be free of bad debt will be liberating. Very few of us will be known for the comics we die with.
  7. I personally think it is horrible advice. I'd rather not have every newbie with a few books show up and start selling. One of the nice things about buying and selling here is that the sense of community serves as an invisible umpire.
  8. That image is in reprint magazine and the lettering reminds me of the 1964/65 pinup era. Possibly a TOS pinup? Best of luck.
  9. These are baseball card sized, appear to be mid 1960s and from Topps.
  10. So you knew the book was restored when you bought it?
  11. If it was a one time deal 12 years ago, I don't think many sellers would do much. If, however, the buyer still had a relationship with me and had continued to be a customer over the years, I'd work something out. I think the $800 credit is exceedingly generous. I was thinking along the lines of a 50% off offer up to $1,000. In 1988, I helped a customer to obtain a Marvel comics #1. I obtained it from a dealer in Manhattan who had a good relationship with Fantasia. Ten years later that shop was exposed for selling undisclosed restoration. I now assume the book I got for him was worked on and not worth what was paid. I wonder if the book is still sitting in a safety deposit box somewhere.
  12. I'm not up on the latest trends so I find it useful.
  13. I've tried CBD oil and wasn't impressed with it. I personally avoid edibles. Tried them three times and twice they were way too strong for me.
  14. A novice is complaining that his raw books sell for half of what a CGC would sell for, and you folks have problems with the guy buying them? I'm guessing his VFs will be closer to Fs and his Fines are VG.
  15. I prefer Sativa. My local shop had a special this weekend. A sativa nicknamed Agent Orange. I kid you not but they sent out an email telling their clients the weekend special was Agent Orange and reminded everyone that active duty military gets 15% off. The budtender had never heard of Agent Orange.
