Selling a few high-grade, CGC comics, all with white pages except Marvel Premiere #19. Newer member, (two years), long-time collector (45+ years). Only one response in my kudos thread, but I’ve sold to several other people on the boards. Shipping $15 for Flat Rate Priority Mail to U.S., unless going to a zone with lower cost for the distance and weight – then actual cost. Returns accepted on a case-by-case basis, and I’m pretty reasonable. Buyer to pay return shipping unless return is for some issue on my end. First agreement on sale, by time, gets it, whether on the board or PM. First up: ASM # 70, CGC 9.2, white pages. Kingpin appearance. $ 185.

I've seen this on a number of comics over the years, including some I've bought new at comic book stores, and I've always assumed that it was caused by a dull trimming blade, and so was a production defect of some kind. It finally occurred to me to ask the experts here on the boards. Two examples below. 1) What does cause this? Is it considered a production defect? 2) What effect does this have on grade? thanks in advance for any info.

I'm new to this aspect of collecting, and don't know much about it or where to find information. I only stumbled on this thread by accident. I'd appreciate any references to good sources of information about variants. I do have a specific question, regarding Fantasy Masterpieces, vol. 2, which has the Silver Surfer reprints. I only just recently learned that there were price-box (?) variants -- rectangles and diamonds. It's clear browsing around eBay and other places that the diamond variants are less common than the rectangle. But are they really that much less common? It seems that they don't really command a premium, just a little harder to find. Is that accurate? Are the variants related to distribution, such as direct vs. newsstand? And are all of the Issue #14 diamond variants 50 cents rather than 75 cents? Thanks for any info.

Last one, thanks for looking -- X-Men # 141. CGC 9.8, White Pages. $ 315

Selling several high-grade books remaining from two previous threads now closed. Relatively new to the boards and selling, but have now sold books to several board members. I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for more than 20 years, user ID carlucci2, if you’d like to check my track record there. I stopped collecting in the mid-eighties, and recently resumed now that I’m nearing retirement. I’m trying to winnow down and refocus my collection. “Take it” in the thread trumps ongoing pm discussions. Paypal, money orders, and personal checks (if you don’t mind waiting a few days for check to clear) all accepted. Shipping for each $15.00 to U.S., $18.00 to Canada. CGC returns accepted on a case-by-case basis (I think I’m a pretty reasonable person). Buyer to pay return shipping cost. First: ASM 69, CGC 9.4, White Pages. Hard to find with white pages. $ 370

Bump.

Mark was great to work with. Negotiations over several CGC books were pleasant, and he paid quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to sell to him again.
