  1. Hi guys, Not sure if I should have this pressed and slabbed. The comic looks pretty nice but have an issue in the back. Does this look like water damage ? Will a press improve this much ? Thanks
  2. To my fellow Canadian members here on the board. What was your experience like when winning an auction from Heritage ? Shipping costs? Boarder taxes costs ? Etc. Did you send them to a P.O. Box in the US to save on costs ? Please share here. Thanks
  3. Just posted auctions on eBay Feel free to reach out to me for more info.

  4. Yeah, signing was costly also. Live and learn
  5. On big deep scratches it might be futile to try to remove them and might as well just have them reslabbed but that's costly when considering the shipping cost not just the reslab cost of 15$. I might just leave it alone since I'm not sure how to remove scratches properly.
  6. Hi, so I watched this video on how to remove scratches on a slab. I'm skeptical on the final result (not actual shown on the video) using these Novus products. Has anyone succefully removed scratches with a product ? If so, what product do you recommend ? Thanks
  7. Yeah signed a McFarlane ASM 300 and lost out on the monbey because I got a 9.4 on the grade
  8. Guess we just have to buy slabs from now on, less raw comics
  9. Same cost to Canada, Europe, Africa, Australia, Antartica, The Moon.... Come on !
  10. Did US domestic shipping costs increase as well ? Does having your own FedEx account reduce costs?
  11. Pandemic related maybe. Did FedEx increase their prices?
  12. Yup so even more costly haha. One reason I wanted the books slabbed is because I don't like selling raw comics on ebay. I have had problems in the past with buyers so selling graded books is less worries.
  13. Great advice. I am thinking of only buying slabs from now on. The raw books I have are mostly from my childhood but I had bought some keys in the last 2 years thinking of saving some money and submitting myself. I see now it's not worth the hassle/cost anymore.
  14. I broke down the price per book for folks sending from Canada : US Dollars Cost Book Cost/Book 75 1 75,00 75 2 37,50 90 3 30,00 90 4 22,50 90 5 18,00 95 6 15,83 95 7 13,57 95 8 11,88 95 9 10,56 95 10 9,50 120 11 10,91 120 12 10,00 120 13 9,23 120 14 8,57 120 15 8,00 180 16 11,25 180 17 10,59 180 18 10,00 180 19 9,47 180 20 9,00 180 21 8,57 180 22 8,18 180 23 7,83 180 24 7,50 180 25 7,20 Sending 15 books to be graded seems like the right number for Modern books especially if you plan on selling them like me. Also 15 books is the minimum for QuickPress which I also wanted (8$ per book for Modern tiers) So total costs for 15 books in US dollars : Grading (with 149$ membership) : 18$ x 15 = 270$ Shipping : 120$ QuickPress : 8$ x 15 = 120$ TOTAL = 510$ (360$ with the 150$ grading credit with membership) TOTAL COST PER BOOK = 34$ (24$ with the 150$ grading credit with membership)
  15. I never thought of getting a FedEx account (Good Idea). 180$ seems very expensive!!! Not sure what the actual cost is, but it doesn't make me want to submit books that are worth under 100$ since I want to sell most of them.
  16. I recently looked at the shipping cost to Canada. I was shocked by the increase. This can't right ? See pics for prices. I had taken a screenshot of the prices. Did they really double ? Is this a mistake ? Can someone confirm please ? Thanks
  17. Hi, I am sending 25 books for a Quick Press, Pre-screen and finally Grading (Modern). When does CGC/CCS bill my credit card ? The moment they process my order for Quick Press ? Also do they bill me 1-2-3-4 times (QuickPress/Pre-screen/Grading/Shipping cost) ? Thanks
  18. Ok good to know. Those crease are a grade killer. The bigger the worse I assume.
  19. I wrote to them to enquire about their Time Pay mentioned in the ebay listing. No answer after 1 week.
