Overdue KUDOS to both AK(Captains of Industry) and Bruce(BB13). Both of these guys are class acts and extremely easy to deal with, both on the selling and buying end.

You're right AK. Between his stalling tactics and the fact that he gives refunds for books that do come back PLODs as well as the fact that most people that buy from him have no idea of his m.o. keeps his negs to a minimum. You and I have both bought books from him that came back restored and neither of us negged him. In your case you were unaware of the whole story and in my case by the time the book came back from CGC the 3 month feedback window had passed. He also gave me a refund so negging him would have been tenuous at best.

Anyone offended by this thread needs to check their ego at the door. Or go buy a nice new shiny CGC 10 book with a phallic symbol on the cover to make up for certain defficiencies. Joanna, this is some of the best reading on the board since we've lost Hammer and his lovable threats of bodily harm. However your writing is much more creative, after all there are only so many ways to dismember someone with your bare hands. Great stuff!!!

 

Strange you should mention that -- Blackshotzy (who is no relation to hammer) is busy threatening Doyle in Grading and Restoration. It's like old times.

 

Hey, LordRahl -- wanna be a villain? I'm really short of villains.

Villify me. Can I twist off some heads and use CGC slabs as decapitating devices ala Oddjob? Oh oh can I, can I?

Back to the original question. 20-100 books in the $50-100 range. Lots more potential for growth and certainly more bang for your buck if you actually want to read them(what a novel idea). Try to buy raw if you know how to grade conservatively since most stuff that you can buy for under $100 you can find in HG raw and don't have to shell out the multiples for a slabbed copy. Key and minor key books from Marvel and DC are always a good bet especially in 9.0 or better.
