I saw it last night with my daughter. I know nothing about the game but enjoyed it. Much better than the new Exorcist debacle.

I would assume they’d cancel the claim filed by the seller. I’d hope fed ex would at least refund his shipping costs. I didn’t ask for my money back. Figured let the claim process play out and hopefully that would put at least some pressure on them to locate the book. It may be pure coincidence but I think talking to the manager at the site helped locate the book.

Here you go.

Update Yesterday, I went to the shipping center where it was last scanned. As you can imagine, it’s a huge facility not made for the public. I went to a door and used an intercom to ask for a manager. I explained my situation and he went away to check. About 20 minutes later he came back and said they couldn’t locate the package and to go through the claims process with the seller. He said they lose a lot of packages but more often than not they show up at a later date. I thanked him for his time and gave him my contact information. First thing this morning, I received a text from Fed Ex saying the package would be delivered - and sure enough, moments ago it was. It was a bit beat up but no issues with the book. The lesson I learned is forget customer service. They were useless from day one. Try and talk with a person at the last known location. More important, be nice. More often than not, if you’re nice to folks, they tend to want to help. Also, try to help the seller. It’s not their fault the shipping company messed up.

Thanks both. I think I’ll take a ride to the shipping center where it was last scanned and see if I can talk to someone. The shipper filed a claim but I’d feel better if I could actually speak with somebody who may know what could have happened.

Hey, I recently bought a golden age book (value about $900) and the seller shipped it to me via Fed Ex. After a week, the book continued to show “out for delivery.” I called Fed Ex and talked to a representative overseas who asked for my information. The next day I got an email saying the shipment was lost and to initiate a claim with the seller. I called back a few more times trying to get more information but couldn’t get past the various customer representatives who all repeated the same thing - it’s lost and initiate a claim; but no detail on who they spoke with and what they actually investigated to make that determination. The seller will refund me so that’s not an issue. I just don’t want to give up and would like to try to get the book. I struggle with reconciling that the book survived 80 years only to to be lost in 2023 by Fed Ex. I went to a local Fed Ex today and they told me the same - contact customer service. Any advice would be appreciated. Again, a refund isn’t an issue. I just want to locate the book.

New add. Love the perspective of this great Johnny Craig cover. Coloring is spot on.

Just in time for Halloween, I managed to upgrade Shock Suspenstories 9, containing two of my favorite EC stories - The October Game and Carrion Death.

Great seller. Fantastic communication and shipped super quick.

Finally found a copy. Now onto 2 and 3.

New pickup. Love this Ghastly cover.

The opportunity to read Leinigen versus the Ants again - I’ll definitely take that.

I had this exact question. As you can see from the photos, the front cover insert is torn but they are still attached with the tattooz. I have no idea how this would be handled.

Three new Ghastlys. HoF 11 always reminds me of the grandmother buried in the cellar in the Evil Dead.

Here’s a new upgrade compliments of Ted@Superworld

New add. I think this was a lost opportunity with the cover but happy to add it to the collection.

Has anyone ever read F. Paul Wilson? His Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack series are some of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. I never heard of him until someone recommended the Keep, and then I became hooked.

Fun movie. I have not been a fan of the last few Marvel movies but this was more like the Phase 1 films. Will definitely see it a second time next weekend.

Every week for me. Happens on both my iPhone and desktop.

I saw it last night. It wasn’t a bad entry in the series, but a bit overhyped. Had some good homages to the prior movies - especially a good eyeball popping scene. In comparison with the others, it was probably my least favorite. The pacing had something to do with that as the first act was very slow. The characters weren’t very likeable either. That said, it’s an Evil Dead movie so it’s much better than anything else out there. 4/5

Saw it over the weekend. Nicholas Cage was great but the movie was just so so for me. I was really looking forward to it, and while it wasn’t terrible, I had higher expectations. Hopefully, Evil Dead won’t disappoint.

8.5 maybe
