Quite an interesting look. The images had 3d qualities to me. More so than a regular comic.

Librarians, asking how to sort anything "reading material", seems like an exercise in free advertising.

No matter the grade, that book is getting some attention. Love it If interior is intact, I'm at 2.0-2.5ish

Good eye. Good thing you caught it. I for one would be upset. But it's graded and had good pics. At first, I thought the holes were stains maybe...

Very surprising grade. It must be Really nice, otherwise.

Not an easy decision, both great comics. One has to be a better deal though? Let us know what happens.

Trusted seller? Someone with a very solid reputation, or just someone you've met or heard about? Trusted seller would make it right with you if you are not happy with the book.

My word... what a beautiful book.

Progress may be slow, but you long time collectors saw it firsthand when talking about changes in grading comics whether it be the use and types of grades, the introduction of the grading industry, terms like restoration conserved qualified and probably many more things. I don't know about a 9.7 grade or what change will be next, but I do like consistency.

I always like to see the book with the fc flipped open, in order to get a better sense of the spine condition. If spine is solid, 3.5

Gorgeous copy

Terrible picture, sorry Not sure if I posted this here, my earliest Strange Tales that I purchased from the original owner just a few years ago.

Your copy looks great. Flat, even, nice corners and clean. The 2.5 has richer colors, and more character. Your copy looks much better to me. Have you an idea or guess of the grade prior to its restoration?

Replace the books and not the value. If grade was agreed upon, should not be a problem.

These instances are just a shame. When books are sent in and payment has been made, don't we have a contract with cgc? Is it the comic owner's responsibility to ensure cgc honors the contract? Why should the books TRUE owner, have to worry about what insurance cgc has or does not have on various carriers? Isn't it up to the sender to get the book to the owner, and not the other way around? And since the carrier is responsible to deliver the package to the TRUE owner, it seems the issue lies between cgc and the shipper. I feel that the owner is just a third, albeit concerned party in cases like these, with little authority or muscle to make things happen. Mistakes happen of course, and we've all been taken advantage of one time or another by grading company or shipper. I hate being brought into a scenario like this, where the greatest company in the world can't get a book delivered as required, as contracted. If the book is important to me, it is Signatures all the way, with full insurance, until it arrives at its assigned destination. Other than that, it's up to someone else. Good luck.

I'm wondering how many folks would really love to work for them, but not move to Florida. Set up shop is a few large cities across the US maybe?

Timing, always timing. Your grail may not come up for you again, or at least when you are prepared.

Picked this item up yesterday. It's seen plenty of use and abuse... I Have comics that are perfect for a rack like that. Will try to clean it up a bit, maybe fab a base so it will once again Merry-Go-Round.

Thank you. Very happy with it.

Thank you

Delivery day

I considered selling a book to MCS. The first time I contacted them, they offered me 78% of what the last 8.5 blue label cgc sold for at auction. The second time, they offered me 44%. They said that the 8.5 sale may just be an outlier. Oh, my book is a 9.0 blue label cgc with white pages vs the 8.5 with off white to white. I won't be sending my book to them.

4.5

Just when a person says, it never happens, it has already. I am definitely no multi cover guru

Very neat. I bet others have, but I've not seen a double cover item with same graded awarded to both.
