I'm only selling to US address's. The price is $89 and that already includes shipping.

Sorry that some pictures are sideways not sure how to fix them.

I am selling this lot as a set only and don't wish to break it up. The grades vary and will be listed with each book.

Just got back from the post office. Apparently you can't send padded envelopes that are within the correct weight by First Class anymore. It has to go Ground Advantage. I read someone mention that it's the same thing but it certainly isn't by price. I've been giving free shipping on ebay but gonna rethink that due to the large increase in price.

Iron Man #8 -- VF -- 8.0 -- $50

@ 20% flash sale

Wow who'd a known. That message is finally gone. I wonder how I did in that competition???? 🤔 

I have been getting notifications for personal messages since the 2018 Green Eggs grading competition. There are no unread messages but every now and then this pops up when I log on......

Thank you everyone for another fun event. Way to go top 3! And thank you Marwood for your generous donation. Be interesting to see what the summer contest brings! Coverless books??? Book cut completely in half and re-taped??? Book dropped in piranha tank then reassembled??? I'm sure Mike has some curve balls all ready.

High grade on ebay means the seller smoked a dew bee then assigned a grade to the book.

Definitely a high grade copy but that back cover rippling has me concerned. Was that caused by exposure to moisture?

With a good press it's around 7.5

Lot of color breaking defects. Spine tics. Upper right corner. Right side of cover.

Silver Surfer was my only bullseye.

100% it was not market manipulation. I have sold books prior to the covid madness that went for literally 5x their normal selling price. I got paid. There was no market manipulation. As someone else pointed out CL doesn't get reported to GPA or any other sales tracking site... hard to manipulate a market when only the people that bid on the book know about it (typically). I know it got called out here and now more people know about it but that couldn't have been an expected outcome for someone "manipulating the market". Sometimes this happens with auctions, 2 guys really want a book and throw in crazy bids at the end. It's an outlier and likely not repeatable but also not market manipulation.

Why don't ComicLink sales get applied to the GPA? A site dedicated to comic sales alone and they get excluded?

You're not wrong but that is not how rankings go in any competition.  If he finished the competition right now there would be side contest to determine which one of the people with 11 gets 1st, who gets 2nd and the loser of that group would get 3rd.  The people who you refer to as being in 2nd place would be content to share 4th and 5th place since the top three spots are taken by the people with 11.  

I see what you're saying but that's if the contest were ended right now. Way I see it 25% of the contest remains. Any of the top 10 could just fall out of contention with a poor final round. Someone from below with a near perfect round could jump ahead of the others and claim a top spot. That's how I'm looking at it.

There’s five people ahead of him. He’s tied for sixth.

Three people with the score of 11 are tied for 1st. Two people with the score of 12 are tied for 2nd. Which means 13 points are tied for 3rd.
