    Same seller... at least this one kinda looks like a 9.6... but again, sold for an extravagant amount--at exactly the same minute as #37 above!

    Vampirella #39

    Also graded 2/24/22.

    I guess that's all, but what just happened?

    EDIT:  I've heard of the "Fast Track," but a couple of these must have been on the "Fast-and-Loose Track."

    It makes you wonder if someone has an inside track to get these 9.8 grades that "normal" submitters can't seem to secure even with books that look flawless.  Crazy.

    You get to a point sometimes where it's just not worth the hassle. I would no more look to flip books to finance my hobby than I would change my own motor oil to save $15. The stuff I could be doing in my main gig in the same amount of time makes a lot more money than the money I would make as a part time flipper. When I was 25 it was different. Now my time is worth more than a few bucks.

    Mr. Zipper for the win!

    What is next? Will they offer left handed signatures from right handed artists? 

    You can pay $100 for the artists regular signature or for only triple the price, he'll sign it with his other hand, switching color ink half way thru.  All excluselively at their inhouse signings.  

    Expect stuff likes this, with the new owners management is going to be asked to accelerate profit growth.  Yes, more money to have books graded but that was assumed in the purchase price, they need new revenue streams to beat earning estimates.

    I'm just catching up on this thread....if I were you I'd delete this post; your name, address, banking info is all public!  It wouldn't be hard for someone to defraud you with this sensitive information readily available....at least redact it out!   Yesterday I was reading a story of a colleague that had 150k stolen from her bank account and the bank did nothing about it.....

    100% and cash those checks, put that money to work for you at whatever your risk tolerance is.
