Drawer boxes, as well., but my point is still valid. My first store had a similar wooden frame for the long boxes, until I found an old wooden pingpong center which became the center of my back issue department.

If the box fronts are indicative of what is in the boxes, that is the best back issue department I've seen in years. Looks like it could have been taken thirty years ago.

I can honestly say Stan is one of the main reasons I am where and what I am today. For that I am eternally grateful.

You expect the OP to read and comprehend a bunch of letters? CBCS should obviously customize each label by color according to the future buyers preferences.

I don't think these were solicited thru Diamond. I remember getting my orders from Mitch from Village Comics, the only deal I ever made with him.

Those are great.

It doesn't have every title, so you can't say it lists All comics.

You admitted it was a restored book after it was pointed out. Now you accuse me of working for a company with no evidence. One of us is posting things that provably are untrue. One of us isn't. Nuff said.

When was the last time you spent thousands on a book without examining it and reading the label. Seems your complaint is about the size of the information on the label, and you can't quickly see it? Comparing a restored book to a regular sale in an attempt to put down a company speaks volumes to your character. If one company is truly superior, it shouldn't need anyone offering deceptive information for them.

I have been a big fan of MyComicShop for as long as I've been on the boards, but their business model used to be very different in the past. Some dealers evolve and grow their businesses far from the original vision. Others simply expand in size and volume. MCS has been ahead of the curve for at least ten years now.

This is about being overcharged four dollars on sales tax, right?

Off to ebay

A few years ago, a board member was giving out free copies of #1. Does anyone know which version those were? Pretty sure I still have the copy somewhere.

The harder you work, the luckier you will get.

You do realize the more you spend on a snowblower, the less you end up needing it. Spend enough and it almost guarantees a great winter.

I rarely frequent comic shops. 99% of my purchases are old collections. I assembled a run of Moonstone trades and while reading them ,realized I was missing one. None on Amazon but two on ebay. I called four shops. Three had no idea if they had it in stock, which I completely understand. The fourth took the information and said they'd look and get back to me. An hour later, he called and told me his sister shop had one, and he gave me the phone number. I call and the guy already has it on hold. I live in the SE, the shop is in the car NW, a good fifty mile roundtrip but I have a Drs appointment nearby in two days. I tell him I'll be there in two days. I call the morning of my appointment and get a different guy. He doesn't know anything but says the owner will be there this afternoon and they close sometime after 6. Finish with my Dr and drive 12 miles in the opposite direction to get to the shop just after 5pm. It's in a small strip center with about ten shops. Nine of these stores were open. Anyone want to guess which one was closed?

How is a book that C G C doesn't assign a grade to, thus the NG , a low grade book?

Really? Whom?

To give people something to argue over.

If I tell my broker to buy a hi grade Action #1, I'd be very happy if he came back with a 5.0. Now that we have a census to work with, I have no issue calling a book in the top twenty percent for a particular book as high grade for that issue. An 8.0 Avengers 1 from 1963 is high grade. An 8.0 Avengers 1 from 1994, not so much. I'm of the opinion that while age and rarity don't affect a books grade, all three factor into determining if a book is hi grade or not. It's subjective. Other opinions vary.

Double plus good.

A 8.5 Action #1 is high grade. A 8.5 Spawn #45, not so much.

I have several tan two drawer cabinets that the books fit two rows side by side. I had a couple of black two drawer ones that were about four inches less deep and didn't fit the second row..

Used filing cabinets are available almost everywhere for $5-15. Four wide lateral cabinets are what I use, I paid $200 for four of them and now that I have them, constantly see them on sale for less. Every business that shuts its doors has some of these. Instead of one row, front to back, do two rows side to side. They fit fine.
