Beware…Fake high value CGC books in Pacific Northwest
Northwest replied to JTD's topic in Comics General

This is a genuine fund raiser for a good cause (charity Comic Books for Kids). The charity supports children in hospitals by donating books, and also supports independent creators. All funds in the auction went directly to the 501c3 charity as donations. This is worthy of appreciation for supporting with his platform. Let's give Tom credit here.

In older books and magazines, paper, adhesive and inks contain different volatile organic compounds which break down and are released into the air (known as off-gasing). The storage environment plays a role in the velocity of this process. For example too much heat or light can accelerate the process. So over time, one needs to ensure bags and cases get replaced - microchamber paper can help since it is designed with molecular traps to neutralize these byproducts (which is why it's inside of slabs).

Beware…Fake high value CGC books in Pacific Northwest

A few options: 1. Lookup graders notes and compare to book description 2. Look closely at the ink on the book. To be safe use magnification. 3. In this case (pun intended), the overall weight would also be a tell. 4. There are security measures beyond the font e.g. hologram and others. Verify those are legit. 5. Buy from venues and sellers you trust especially for high value items. Use buyer protection online. Craigslist is a magnet for unreputable listings. -

Research USPS financial health, and you'll quickly realize why this rate policy adjustment is wishful thinking. -
It's a side stapled binding, so technically a magazine submission. Hopefully we will hear updates on pulp grading soon. ..

It is definitely a unique piece. Assuming one can find a copy (last sale 2018 https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/339264605363034-jerry-siegel-and-joe-shuster-39-reign-of-superman-39-1933-fanzine-), it's likely beyond many collector's affordability threshold.

Anyone win anything from the Henry Anderson collection?

Add +20% to the hammer price for the buyer's premium (doesn't seem to be factored in the "sold price" which is based on bids). Source: https://bidlive.bruneauandco.com/auctions/1-6FIX3H/the-henry-anderson-golden-age-comic-auction -
